"Switching from Adobe RoboHelp to MadCap Flare"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe RoboHelp?

It's a decent Help Authoring Tool and does the job for small-scale documentation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe RoboHelp?

It's meant for small and medium-scale documentation needs and is hard to export to other HAT formats. Moreover, it's a native app and not so good for scalability and migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe RoboHelp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was doing a decent job in the first few years of implementation but as documentation need elevated over the years, RoboHelp started creating issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High learning curve"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe RoboHelp?

I have used both RH2017 and now RH2020. Both are challenging to learn, but RH2020 is a little more intuitive. I do like the look of the output and the ways I can link documents together for our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe RoboHelp?

The learning curve is incredibly steep. There is not much that is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe RoboHelp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to publish our desk level procedures online. We haven't been able to fully roll out our learning library because the learning curve is so steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Manage online help system created and maintained with Adobe RoboHelp"

3/5

What do you like best about Adobe RoboHelp?

Once you learn to use it, RH Is flexible and allows for a lot of different output styles and formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe RoboHelp?

The learning curve to get started it high for new users, and it doesn't work cross-versions as well as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe RoboHelp:

I would be sure about which version you start with, since the multiple versions do not play well together. Also be sure you have the time/resources to train users to use it properly, as the styles, templates, etc. are not obvious just from previous experience with MS Word, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe RoboHelp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use to RH to create and manage online help pages. We also use it to create release documentation. It is a benefit to be able to use the same tool for multiple types of outputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adequate but not state of the art authoring tool"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe RoboHelp?

RoboHelp does a decent job of producing online help in various formats including HTMLHelp (.chm) and WebHelp. RoboHelp for Word works for anyone still producing the obsolete WinHelp 4 format.

The tool is relatively easy to use and works fairly well. You can easily manage things such as multiple table of contents files and multiple index files if you are producing versions of an online help system. I have an older project that I still maintain in RoboHelp and it has four different versions each requiring its own ToC and Index.

The WebHelp output is a standard tri-pane design, and if you are fluent in .css you can make it look decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe RoboHelp?

While RoboHelp works okay it is not a state of the art tool. It does not have a full complement or suite of additional tools that can help with all aspects of the authoring process.

I've used both RoboHelp and AuthorIT and have switched from those tools to MadCap Flare which was a wonderful suite of tools that make the development process far more efficient.

The online help for RoboHelp (similar to all Adobe help) leaves quite a bit to be desired. It is slow and difficult to find the info you need. I've often just used Google to find an answer instead of using the RoboHelp help system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe RoboHelp:

You may want to conduct a review and comparison with other tools. Consider things such as integrated screen capture, SME review capability, translation management, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe RoboHelp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used RoboHelp a few years ago to convert older WinHelp 4 systems to both HTMLHelp (.chm) and WebHelp systems. However we only use it for maintenance of older projects currently. New projects are all developed using Flare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
