## RWS Tridion Docs Reviews
  ### 1. reliable, good core functions, but poor usability and prone to complexity

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2023

**What do you like best about RWS Tridion Docs?**

Relibable ability to handle massive amounts of content with multiple users and types of publications. Somewhat flexible within DITA standards. We depend on this system daily for authoring, editing, and publishing, along with managing translations (export/import/publish).

**What do you dislike about RWS Tridion Docs?**

Repetitive/bulk tasks are excessively laborious. Overall UX is poor. Proprietary features (variables and conditions) can be 'gotchas'. Flexibility can easily lead to complexity, where content is tangled up and full of land mines. You can create PDFs or HTML or otehr formats, but multiple 3rd-party options mean it's hard to keep the outputs consistent. Integrations with other systems are difficult and costly. Help/documentation is poor.  User API is weak.

**What problems is RWS Tridion Docs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Need to manage a massive amounts of technical user documentation, across multiple business units, and including translations for global customers.
