A viewer of my YouTube channel asked me:

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how the new Captivate compares to Rise 360?

Here is my response:

Adobe has found an excellent combination of features between what Adobe Captivate was and what it could become. Rise 360 has had a few years to refine itself and become a robust solution, while Adobe Captivate 12 is a brand-new piece of software with many revisions required before all the features they have planned are in place. At their request, I used Rise 360 for one of my customers, and they frequently asked to change how specific interactions worked. Had I been using Adobe Captivate 2019, I could have addressed many of their concerns with custom solutions. Unfortunately, Rise 360 doesn’t give you access to that level of customization, and I had to tell my client that those options were unavailable in Rise. They requested I develop these projects using Rise 360.

Of course, the price is one of the biggest concerns for many users. For an individual to subscribe to Articulate 360, you’re looking at $1099 per year. Adobe Captivate costs $407.88 annually ($33.99 per month). Here is a video I did after using Rise 360 for the first time:
