uPerform

What do you like best?

It's an authoring software and has CMS/LMS like capabilities; great for small businesses that want a cost-optimized learning ecosystem. So if you're looking for an all-in-one package, this might be a good product for you. It also comes with a sandbox that you can use to deploy work in progress deliverables and test functionality as required. So yeah, a lot of good features, but do read the CONs specified below as well, these might be relevant to you. However, another thing that I really liked was the ease of getting support on this software. With a click of a button, my support request was ready to be sent.

What do you dislike?

Overall, the product is not as intuitive as other software that help solve similar problems. The UI is bulky and prone to frequent crashes even with 16GB RAM. I found the 'look and feel' to be a little non-contemporary as well, although that's just a superficial observation. For me, I prefer the good 'ol storyline for similar learning problems. It allows me to create similar learning products but provides me with the means to give the learning product a more contemporary look and feel. Storyline review also helps review functionality before deployment, so that's a plus, too

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We're using uPerform to record and deploy simulations for an oil & gas client. The client was refreshing their SAP modules and needed a fresh set of simulations to help employees learn the new software.
