A couple comments featuring our tools include this one:

Articulate Engage has become a favorite of mine.I have found that I can create interactions even for highly technical content, and get it across with student involvement to facilitate retention. I open a template, and see it not just as outlined in the software, but what I need to do, and how I use what is here. One of the most valuable assets of this program is the ability to build a glossary. We are in an industry that is heavy with acronyms, and this is a wonderful teaching and resource tool.

…and this one (there are plenty of other Articulate tips in the ebook!):

We spent about a year researching these products. Articulate was the tool that out-performed the rest for converting PowerPoint presentations to Flash documents. It’s very simple to use, provides a very familiar environment, and has become a standard development tool within our organization. On average, depending on how much of the functionality you use,you can convert a PowerPoint presentation of any size to a Flash document to load on the Web or place in an LMS within 30 minutes.
