Need more personalization with the integrated summary & menubar

"Delighted with Rakuten Aquafadas !"

Vorteile: We are delighted with Rakuten Aquafadas which has been able to accompany us during the digitalization process of our training materials.
We like most : simplicity of use ; expanded possibilities ; the accompaniment of the commercial and technical team.

Nachteile: We were one of the first customers for the "training" solution; therefore we weren't able to benefit from prior experiences.

"Has its pros and cons. "

Vorteile: Ease of use. It’s a good product. Definitely has it’s pros and cons.

Nachteile: It can be slow at times. It can take me a while to get done what I need to do.

"New InDesign plugin"

Kommentare: I'm a big fan of Aquafadas InDesign plugin since the origin... I'm an Aquafadas trainer, and certified expert.
I'm waiting for the free single-doc publication solution !! And a "bugless" new InDesign plugin.

Vorteile: The features are very advanced and unique (multi drag&drop, multi-trigger, animations, sublayouts...)
The Viewer allows us to show prototypes to our clients.
And it's in... InDesign !

Nachteile: I'm testing the Beta version of the new plugin, and we have many bugs, problems, and lacking features for the moment...
The UI is often complicated, not really user-friendly...

"We choose the Next Gen Application, an application easy to use, which no required HTML code. "

Vorteile: The front-office is easy to use through the Cloud Connect. All the changes are update in real time.
We have the possibility to have some restrictions by using some conditions.

Nachteile: If you want to have this application available for different profiles, you should have a good coordination between your IT services and Rakuten Aquafadas.
