250 MadCap Software Testimonials

"Thank you, what an amazing class this is! Well done to all of you who collaborated on the training manual. There is no question about the amount of time and effort that went into that wonderful guide. And, having Scott DeLoach as the instructor just totally blew me away."

"The increase in multi-channel publishing driven by greater adoption of the Web means we need best-in-class authoring software designed to deliver training and Help content consistently across the Internet, intranets, CD-ROMs, and a range of computer systems. We are also thinking about Web 2.0 and looking down the road for software that can support us in the future. For us, that software is MadCap Flare."

"With MadCap, the output for all three deliverables is virtually flawless. Headings, the table of contents, cover page, and other elements all appear automatically without any manual manipulation after the fact."

"By migrating from a two-product solution to Flare, which was specifically designed to serve as a Help authoring tool, we immediately recognized significant efficiencies that have led to a two-fold gain in productivity. Citect's decision to move to Flare was the result of an in-depth review of more than half a dozen products. We completed a very thorough evaluation that compared 30 different Help content requirements. In the end, Flare addressed more of those requirements than any other product we reviewed. It also has a modern, forward-looking architecture, which stands out from the older designs of other solutions whose older architectures have been updated for today's Web-based Help demands."

"Flare has been an extremely valuable tool for giving our students real-world experience."

"When we overhauled the class, we knew our students would need to start a project in DITA using the oXygen XML editor and then create a set of topics that could be single-sourced and re-used for online Help.We looked at a number of tools, but Flare was the one that dovetailed nicely with our needs. With its native XML architecture, singlesourcing, and topic-based paradigm, Flare was a natural fit."

"I made the switch from FrameMaker® to Flare a few years ago. I found Flare easy to pick up and am still impressed by how flexible it is. I like it a lot. As a result of using Flare, I’ve learned some CSS and HTML5 and developed web design skills, so am now more knowledgeable and employable. HTML5 and web-based help is the future…more and more people are using tablets and mobile technology."

"Thanks to Flare, we’re able to create and deliver content in one place instead of using two different tools, which has allowed us to save a tremendous amount of time."

"With MadCap Flare and Capture, we now have a central source for content and high quality screen images, whether we publish in print or online."

"One of the great things about the structured authoring in Flare is that it enforces consistency, and in the long run, that opens the door to greater ubiquity. Having that increased potential for future value immediately enhances the value of the content we’re delivering today."

"If you're looking for a path to browser-based help for your DITA content, you should consider the new version of Flare. Without a lot of effort, we were able to create WebHelp from imported DITA content. Flare handled DITA constructs (such as conrefs and relationship tables) without any problems in our testing."

"Since XML and multi-channel publishing are central to new media applications for writers, we wanted to incorporate MadCap Flare into this course. We are excited to work with MadCap Software in giving our students a solid grounding in the practical issues around planning and publishing a project using an industry-standard tool like Flare."

"The single-sourcing in Flare is tremendously advantageous for quickly delivering the content our customers need. We've taken a huge leap with Flare, and there's still a lot more potential to tap."

"Having used Flare for several years, I think it is an excellent "middle way" between traditional page/chapter/book tools such as FrameMaker, and very expensive full-blown DITA-based content management systems. I think it has the best of both worlds, for a relatively low cost, and many organizations would greatly benefit from it. The publishing targets feature alone is worth the price - it's that powerful."

"We are at the forefront of enabling businesses to grow and capitalize on market opportunity through enterprise roadmapping, and we need user documentation that reflects the same level of innovation. As a RoboHelp customer for many years, with MadCap Flare 2.5, we now have an application based on the latest XML technology that goes far beyond the capabilities of traditional HATs. Equally important, Flare was created by developers at MadCap who had originally designed RoboHelp. We know we have a team that understands our documentation needs and is committed to supporting us today and in the future."
