Clickhelp has an easy to use interface. Therefore on-boarding a user to work on ClickHelp is not at all an issue. Also, their publishing feature is smooth as it points out all the errors.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

The interface when I'm working with actual content is very simple.Customer service and support is great. They're friendly and responsive. And even when a problem is resolved, the team gets back to me to follow up on the solution and make sure it's still working.

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

While the interface is great when working directly with topics, it is true that out of the box, if you're not using one of the available templates, a certain degree of knowledge of css and html can be beneficial. So long as someone's not going into ClickHelp thinking it's as simple as MS Word, this isn't an issue. The end results of what ClickHelp is able to do requires some crucial setup in the initial phases to ensure that the output is what you want your end users to see. Now that I'm on the homestretch of my learning curve and using ClickHelp to author and publish, it's actually a very fun part of the work I'm doing.

Overall Feedback

Amount of functionality and customizability is fantastic. I wanted to get right into the "create my guide" mode, but how my organization will use ClickHelp required many hours of thinking, tinkering, and seeing how various projects would publish out to online and how I was going to set that up for the end user. Having all of the settings and ability to mod look and function, etc., has been great. From my first communications with the representative before purchasing (and then the many many questions I asked that were all responded to within a day or so) to my interaction with the help team, it's been fantastic.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

ClickHelp has provided me with an easy to use tool for creating technical docs, FAQs, help topics, etc. I have been able to use different templates for different deliverables and have been able to increase user readability and retention.

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

I would make the UI more user-friendly and bring in more DITA features such as templates for task, topic, concept, etc.

A great tool for creating content. ClickHelp also provides a way to create a landing page for your doc sets. If you are planning to move to another Help Authoring tool, do explore ClickHelp.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

What I enjoy the most about ClickHelp is Win and Mac support, multi-format import & export opportunities, a customizable password-protected doc portal, simple MS Word-like WYSIWYG editor. There's also amazing customer support that responds in a few hours.

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

I think the only drawback here is the price, which is a bit too high in my opinion. On the other hand, it is reasonable enough, because comparing to other HATs ClickHelp requires no maintenance.

Overall Feedback

I've been working with ClickHelp for about 8 months + free trail period and during that time I never thought of switching to another help authoring tool. ClickHelp has everything that I need + even more advanced features and opportunities that haven't used yet like translation and SEO features.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

The ClickHelp product is intuitive and easy to use, yet robust and feature-rich. We're delighted with how fast and accurate the import process is, and with the ease of authoring, reviewing and publishing our documentation. The ClickHelp team has surpassed any expectation I had in terms of professionalism, responsiveness, friendliness, and the prompt delivery of quality support. I highly recommend ClickHelp!

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

Nothing really - we have turned in a few enhancement requests but nothing major at all.

Overall Feedback

Our training and product documentation was scattered all over our repository. "Where's the latest product guide for ___?" was a common question. Now we have our documentation readily available for access by both our customers and internal resources; ClickHelp is our "one-stop shop". Being able to set permissions and visibility of publications is another key benefit, as is the ability to continuously improve and re-publish.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

Having tried out several others, ClickHelp was the most intuitive and easy to use, plus it offers reviewer workflow that many competitors do not. They have several how-to videos but I didn't need many of them because the layout is elegant and easy to figure out. Of course I had a few questions, and our account rep was very responsive and helpful. Likewise I found a few small bugs but support fixed them within days both while we were still in trial and after purchase. Since it's hosted, the fixes were immediately applied to our portal, so no cumbersome installs to get a feature fixed. It was also very easy to import an existing Word doc, maintained styles, auto-separated into the appropriate topics, then re-exported to Word looking very similar to original.

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

Every once in a while it does seem to run a little slow. For example, I may be editing multiple topics, navigating around a lot, and sometimes when I click "Unlock & Edit" on a topic it might hang. I usually have to go back to the dashboard and try again a time or two, and then it keeps working. Also reviewer process is a bit clunky, but otoh, very few competitors even have this feature.

Overall Feedback

We were really able to hit the ground running with this product and have been using it every day.

What was the best part about using ClickHelp?

The best part is ClickHelp Support. That team is by far the most responsive support staff I've ever contacted. Second best is ClickHelp's continuous improvement. The app gets an update several times a year; and ClickHelp developers not only expand the feature set and improve performance every time, but they also pack as many client requests in each release as possible!

What would you change about your experience with ClickHelp?

I hope for the ability to host multiple TOCs per project, so that I can build separate TOCs for each audience/output.

As a SAAS authoring tool, ClickHelp ranks among the best for its feature set and support.

Our company has many software products and supporting user guides and manuals. With no standardization in place we were looking for an on-line solution to improve the overall look and consistency of our user guides and installation manuals. After reviewing several of the leading Help Authoring Tools (HAT) on the market, we decided on ClickHelp. Several key features of ClickHelp made our decision easy: *Web Based Authoring (no local software install) *Automatic Language Translation (we have clients all around the globe) *Multi-Author Capability (collaboration) *Price
