Enables you to create many complex E-learnings
The older or classic version of Adobe Captivate needs much improvement because everything looks very old. It needs to improve how it works. Also, new features are missing too. The latest version is very good and unique in terms of work, but the level of complexity you can achieve it limited.

Superb, descriptive, easy to use PageLayout program
I like Quark all around, with the exception of the customer service. Customer service appears to be outsourced, and you do not get the help that you need. Their representatives provide basic level support, so if you are looking for more, you need to rely on online support. Otherwise, I have found nothing wrong with Quark.
