For many teams, Genially offers a more cost effective solution than advanced authoring tools such as iSpring Suite, Articulate Storyline 360 and Adobe Captivate. The free version of Genially allows anyone to try out key features. Whereas many authoring tools have a steep learning curve, Genially is also easier for beginners and non instructional designers to get the hang of.
