"Polished Interactivity and Easy SCORM Updates, But Mobile Adaptation Needs Work"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

The preconfiguration of interactive elements is extremely helpful. Everything appears smooth and professional, from the way an accordion opens to how a popup icon automatically changes to a check mark after being clicked. These small details make a significant difference, saving time while still achieving a high visual standard. Additionally, the ability to automatically update an existing deployed SCORM file directly from within the authoring tool is a major advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

In my opinion, drag and drop activities and image hotspots do not adapt particularly well to mobile devices, which can be restrictive when creating a responsive module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Hi Frédéric, thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that Elucidat’s interactive elements, visual polish, and SCORM update capabilities are helping you deliver professional, high-quality learning experiences efficiently. It’s great to know those details are making a real difference in your workflow.

We appreciate your feedback on mobile responsiveness for drag-and-drop and hotspot interactions. Our team is continually refining these elements to ensure a smoother experience across all devices, and your input is valuable in guiding that work.

Thanks again for sharing your insights and for choosing Elucidat to support your large-scale elearning projects!

What do you like best about Elucidat?

What I like most about Elucidat is the ease of use, and how easy it is to publish courses and after, re-release them in your LMS. I use Elucidat everyday to create content and it is one of my favourite softwares, so many features you can choose to develop e-learning modules, and hundrds of templates you can choose from. Customer experience is always willing to help out and offer new ideas. Happy that Tip Tuesdays are back! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

A drawback I've only recently discovered is the limit in the size of the videos you can upload. However, sometimes it can be coped with embedding the link or syncing a link from an external website so it is not that terrible. But it would be great if the limit was increased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for your wonderful review, Nefeli! We’re delighted to hear that Elucidat has become one of your favorite tools and that you find it so easy to use when creating and publishing content. It’s fantastic to know that our wide range of features and templates are helping you build engaging elearning experiences - and we’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the return of Design Tip Tuesdays!

We also appreciate your feedback on video upload limits. We understand how important flexibility is when adding multimedia to your courses, and we’ll pass this along to our team. In the meantime, it’s great to hear that embedding and syncing have been helpful workarounds.

Thanks again for sharing your experience. We look forward to continuing to support you in creating impactful learning experiences!

"A straightforward and simple too to use."
What do you like best about Elucidat?

I've been using Elucidat for two years on a daily basis. They are continuously updating and improving the system. I like that they are always looking to grow. They have lots of helpful advise, which I use to refresh my memory. The tool is easy to use, but also has diverse options for creativity and complex design. I find the templates inspiring, aiding the development of courses. Their team are friendly and fast to respond. The review function is laid out in a way which allows for quick access and amendments. SCORM packages are fast to produce, as are offline links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

It would be good to be able to upload larger images and videos (currently limited at 40mb). The size of the element selector buttons (the little circle pencils on each part) can be challenging to click when multiple parts are near each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review of Elucidat. We're thrilled to hear that you've found Elucidat easy to learn and that there have been many resources to guide you. The ability to create child courses from a single parent course is a feature we're particularly proud of, and we're glad it has made a positive impact on your workflow. It's also wonderful to hear that our customer support team has been helpful and friendly; they strive to ensure that all our users feel supported at every step.

Regarding your concerns about design limitations and occasional slow or clunky functionality, please know we are actively working on enhancing these aspects. Improving the user experience and expanding the creative possibilities within Elucidat are priorities for us.

Lastly, we're delighted that Elucidat has empowered you to produce more elearning content in-house and save costs. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

"Time-Saving Templates and Easy Collaboration in Elucidat"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

The most helpful thing in Elucidat for me is the ready templates. They save a lot of time because I do not need to start from zero. I can just choose a layout and add my own text and pictures. The course already looks good.

I also like that the course works well on phone, tablet, and computer without doing extra work. The teamwork part is helpful too because my colleagues can see the course, give comments, and help me improve it.

The good sides are that it is easy to learn, looks professional, and makes it simple to publish or update courses quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

The least helpful thing in Elucidat for me is that it can be slow sometimes, especially when many people are working at the same time. Also, some design options are limited, so I cannot always make the course look exactly how I want.

Another downside is that big files like videos take time to upload. It also needs a good internet connection, otherwise it can freeze or log out. For new users, it may take a bit of time to understand where everything is.

Overall, it works well, but I think it could be faster and give more freedom with design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Hi Sadman, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so pleased to hear that Elucidat’s templates, responsive design, and collaboration features are helping you save time and create professional courses that work seamlessly across devices.

We appreciate your feedback on speed and design flexibility. Our team is always working to improve performance and expand creative options, so your insights are really helpful as we continue refining the platform.

"Easy-to-Use Authoring Tool with Strong Collaboration Feature"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

Elucidat’s interface is very intuitive, which makes creating professional-looking courses quick even for non-technical users. The templates and responsive design features save a lot of time, and the ability to collaborate with team members directly within the platform is extremely helpful. The customer support team is also responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

While the platform is powerful, it can sometimes feel limited when trying to customize beyond the provided templates. Load times can be slow for larger projects, and advanced users might miss more in-depth control over layout and interactivity. The pricing is also on the higher end for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Usage of Elucidat for e-learning"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

Super easy to use

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

Editing can feel clunky

Some users say the editing experience isn’t as smooth or intuitive as they’d like. Making changes can be tedious, especially for more complex layouts or interactions.

Limited design flexibility

Compared to tools like Articulate Storyline, Elucidat can feel a bit restrictive. There are fewer options for animations and advanced customization, which can be frustrating for designers who want more creative control.

Performance issues

A few users mention slow loading times and occasional lag, especially when working on larger projects or collaborating with multiple team members.

Not ideal for math-heavy content

If your course involves lots of symbols or formulas, Elucidat might not be the easiest tool to work with. Formatting complex content can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Onboarding with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

I appreciate the mobile compatibility and analytics features of Elucidat, which have been instrumental in hosting elearning on mobile devices. The onboarding process was incredibly straightforward, supported by an amazing onboarding team. The software's user-friendliness, along with the ability to customize brand standard colors and text themes, enhances our elearning courses aesthetically. Furthermore, the integration with Canva and Premiere Pro is seamless, aiding in designing graphics and editing videos for course creation. The exceptional support team provides insightful analyses and ratings of our courses, which is both helpful and impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

I find the organization of files in Elucidat needs improvement. It's not as intuitive as I would like, and I wish it was more like a basic desktop file system where clicking and dragging was easier. Additionally, an analytic overview feature to easily assess if the connection and reporting to the LMS were successful would be beneficial. This improvement would enhance communication with Elucidat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Elucidat – A Powerful, Well-Rounded Authoring Tool with Industry-Leading Translation Features"
What do you like best about Elucidat?

Wide range of functionality, with standout features such as video branching scenarios that many competitors don’t offer.

Translation capability is a major strength, approximately six months ahead of rivals in development.

AI translation is fast, accurate, and continues to improve.

Significant progress in both formal and informal selection processes, leading to even greater accuracy.

Includes all the instructional design tools needed for professional course creation.

Supports multi-language SCORM output in a single file, saving substantial time.

New Translate tab allows team members to edit AI translations—a thoughtful, well-designed feature. Long-standing tool with many years in the market, having resolved early issues to become a mature, reliable authoring platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elucidat?

When AI translations are not fully accurate, a human reviewer must be assigned to make changes—this requires a paid seat.

Costs increase with the number of languages needed, whereas some competitors offer free logins for reviewers to address translation inconsistencies.

While the team is aware of these limitations and actively working on solutions, they remain a consideration for organizations with extensive translation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stavros Giannis of Elucidat

Thank you for such a detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that our translation capabilities, video branching scenarios, and wide range of design tools are helping you deliver impactful learning at scale. It’s great to know that the new Translate tab and multi-language SCORM output have been game changers for your workflow.

We appreciate your feedback on translation reviewer access and multi-language costs. External Collaborators can be invited to review courses without a seat, and these are free and unlimited. For translation editing, we’ve just introduced a new Translator role, a dedicated translation review and editing seat that’s available at a lower cost than a full seat. Your Account Manager would be happy to explore the best options for editor roles with you if needed.

Our team is also actively exploring further ways to make reviewer collaboration even more flexible and cost-effective, so your input is really valuable in shaping our roadmap.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for trusting Elucidat to support your global learning needs!
