The valuable features for us are format control and professional and clear output.
There should be some training for Chinese customers. This is maybe because only a few Chinese documentation engineers are using FrameMaker, so it is difficult to find solutions through the Internet and there is little training about FrameMaker. Most of the features of FrameMaker are not used because we don't know how to use them. I think Adobe should provide more training for Chinese customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"However after a little ramping up, most get used to it and often uncover some very cool features that you can use when you have to manage large volumes of multiple documents with single source content and chapter and book modularity."
"The valuable features for us are format control and professional and clear output."
"Integration with Adobe Suite was great, allowed for smarts of industry standard tool to be leveraged."
 

Cons

"One thing that bugs me about FrameMaker is that when you are dealing with large files, it sometimes hangs and can seize up your local PC or VM resources."
"We had some stability issues and it was often corrupted before we installed some patches."
"xPression was touted as a future solution, but didn't meet needs and therefore was replaced."
