Windows 10 64, gtx 970

blender-2.75-68d72e2-win64

I imported the same Fbx file in Maya and Cinema 4D, with no special settings to import, just default settings, and in both cases give correct results. (please see attached photo)

In blender i tried with "Automatic Bone Orientation" and with "Force Connect Children" and the bones from the hand(fingers) go a little bit outside the model.

I also attach the Character.fbx for testing.

I also think the Fbx and DAE is most common format to collaborate with others, and other softwares.
And is vital to make it function correctly.

You also need to enable 'Ignore Leaf bones' options it seems.

Though force connect fails in this specific case, will fix.

Also with 'Ignore Leaf bones' option give almost the same result (visually).
And please make it work by default, with no extra settings because can be very confused, mostly for new users.

Especially when in other softwares is working by default with no extra settings.

No. Other softwares are not a reference point here, all those are closed source using FBX official SDK, when we have to reverse-engineer that hell of a “format” and do all the dirty work ourselves. Further more, Blender uses an armature model based on bones, when many of those software use one based on joints, sometimes even without any notion of orientation. Point being, we have to recreate our more complex bone-based armature from those dead-stupid points, and this cannot be completely automated, nor can you find settings working in all cases. If we could find such, then we would not need anymore those settings!
