It's HTML5 layout, ability to use CSS and XML scripts. Using Robohelp server to checkout a project and make changes so others can see an updated copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Editing documents can sometimes be a pain as text might be embedded in images and it is difficult to edit.
Robohelp support should be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to figure that out. I used RoboHelp for 25 years and it just keeps getting worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Adobe purchased RoboHelp to say that it had a complete documentation suite, but they haven't kept up with other competing applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It allows you to do most of the common things one would want in a help system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The application is very non-intuitive. The more I use Robohelp, the more it becomes apparent that the designers of it don't use it themselves, otherwise they would have improved the interface a long time ago. It is very frustrating to me to try to use to do something as simple as resolving broken links and an hour later I am still trying to figure out how to resolve some links. It is absurd the hoops I have to jump through to do something a simple as this. And the Help for Adobe Robohelp ironically leaves a lot to be desired, with only text and no graphics showing screenshots of the User interface. I have seen a pattern in Adobe software of things I don't like, but Adobe Robohelp has to be the worst Adobe product I have used to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to use, has all the features I want, and is flexible (has both design editing a and HTML editing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That it opens all pages in a project, instead only the last one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RoboHelp is part of the Adobe suite of products. It allows you to manage and output your online help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that it is not as easy to single source as Madcap Flare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using RoboHelp for years at our software company. We use it to produce WebHelp, Eclipse Help, and Responsive Design web help. We also create contextual help with it for one of our software products. We currently use RoboHelp 11 and are very pleased with it. It is our main - go to tool for producing help systems for our software products. The newer Responsive Design feature is awesome. You don't even have to enter Viewport sizes or redesign for each Viewport size. It flawlessly redesigns the screen for whatever size of Viewport it is. (I wish Adobe's Captivate did that!)

One thing we cannot do with Adobe RoboHelp 11 is to do contextual help in a Responsive Design. We still haven't seen this feature in RoboHelp or RoboHelp 2015. We are still waiting on Adobe to put this feature into their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really liked using RoboHelp for technical writing. The software was easy to use, and I loved the conditional formatting options. You could customize your help to exclude or include specific references based on software versions. The online help was good as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really liked everything about RoboHelp and didn't have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Converts existing FrameMaker documentation into various online help formats. I use WebHelp (combination of HTML and Java) that runs from within a graphical application. There are a number of other formats supported as well.
The online search is excellent and context sensitive. It ranks search hits on relevance, and is pretty accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It requires a bit of manual format mapping that is not intuitive and takes a while to debug.
This is not an intuitive product, but in fairness it is a powerful tool and it likely would be hard to make something this complicated much easier. Still, it has a learning curve, and helps to know someone who has used the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use, and gives professional results. HTML help can be customized to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much, customization of design and look could be more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
