Hi All,
We've got just the presenter component which allows us to
create content without the need for the entire Breeze package
(i.e.: Breeze server). As such, we're publishing content for
deployment on other LMS's including Docent 6.5 and Knowledge
Planet. A quick drawback to this is that we've had to do a fair bit
of testing to ensure that the Breeze content that we've produced
"plays nicely" with these other systems, and after intial trials,
we determined that surveys created using the plugin will not work
with Docent 6.5. For whatever reason, it just won't recognize
surveys in Breeze. After speaking with a couple of folks at
Adobe/MM, all I was told was that the survey function was a "Breeze
only" thing.
As for pricing, we paid $5k for a 5-user license; and yes,
that's pretty steep for this product, but given the sheer amount of
work that we've done as a result, in our view, it's been worth it.
The caveat of course, is that one needs to balance what you're
willing to pay for software vs. doing it all yourself (or using
other tools) vs. what your client(s) are willing to pay for
developing material. That's an argument that's not likely to change
or go away any time soon for most folks.
Regarding publishing using the trial version, make sure you
have a trial account set up with Adobe/MM for the Breeze server.
Right now I have Breeze 5.1; the trial version of this plugin, when
we initially looked at it, allowed us to publish to the Breeze
server ONLY; there was no option to publish locally to my computer,
for example. Once we purchased the license for the plug in, our
entire team was able to publish locally with no problem.
Best to all,
Rob
