The easiest CAT-tool on the market
What do you like best about the product?
As a translation and localization manager, I highly appreciate the optics of Memsource. It is still a tool so the design is relatively uncomplicated, but for me, it still stands out compared to other CAT tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to have the possibility to adjust the source files for all languages with one click, without the need to cancel and reupload the task everytime I find a mistake in source afterwards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic e-mail notifications about the status change of single jobs helps me keep an overview of my tasks, especially shortly before deadlines, when I know what languages are missing.
Great webinar
What do you like best about the product?
How clearly everything was explained in the webinar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the fact that it was way too basic, but since it was an introduction, I think it was good enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
memsource will be my main working tool from now on, so it will solve a lot of future problems and will have a huge benefit on my daily workload.
Good and Robust
What do you like best about the product?
I like the versatility of the solution as the customization options.
What do you dislike about the product?
UX could improve. Sometimes it is hard to find the options to change in order to customize projects and jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the need to manage different types of files with several different vendors in many languages
Very good but lacks some basics
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud solution + strong CAT tool features
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing some basics features like updating current Translation memory with old translations and some files missing formatting after generating target version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can work from any where and connected with all project resources
Great for tackling translations in multiple languages
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to create projects, assign jobs, and work with multiple translators. Customer service was also very friendly and effective!
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform had some delays which slowed down our translations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with multiple translators at the same time.
Reliable and functionally rich cloud CAT system
What do you like best about the product?
Memsource has broader functionality than most other cloud CAT systems. Customer support is great, downtimes relatively rare. It is a robust and time-proven system supporting a lot of file formats and workflows (both more traditional and localization-oriented ones). Its desktop editor is another useful addition that most other cloud systems lack. Memsource allows to use project- and customer-based templates, supports custom machine translation engines and, on the whole, is above average in most of the important dimensions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Memsource has become very corporate-oriented and lost flexibility in terms of its pricing model. Adding more linguists or managers for ad-hoc projects now requires upgrade to a higher plan, with a long commitment period. The price is also quite steep, and many connectors and plugins are only available at more expensive plans. Not to say there's anything unique about it; this is the direction the industry is going to. However, it stands in contrast with Memsource's previous politics, now reverted.
On the functionality front, Memsource, advanced as it is for a cloud CAT system, is still far behind the leading desktop offerings (like Trados or MemoQ). The flexibility of settings is limited, from the implementation of regular expressions to QA profiles and workflows.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like other cloud CAT tools, Memsource helps bypass the problem of having specific (and often quite expensive) software installed on the computers of all project participants. You only need an Internet connection and a browser to start working. The synchronization between participants of larger projects is also much easier than when using desktop translation tools. Cloud CAT systems are indispensable for modern translation companies, and Memsource is one of the best in this class.
Nice user-interface and powerful Web-API integration
What do you like best about the product?
Memsource has a nice Web user interface, that allows to operate efficiently for different roles of the organisation. Templates allow a huge configurability. It also has a powerful Web API integration
What do you dislike about the product?
The Web API is not super clear when it comes to the terminology between jobs and job-parts, which is not fully consistent among different parts (web UI, webhooks, terms used in the Web-API calls)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Memsource to translate our contents, through a software automation that has been built thanks to the Web-API integration capabilities.
Great translation software experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that you can work online and you can manage the whole translation process from the same tool. Also all tools are in the same place, you don't have to pay extra for basic features, like using a term base.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the biggest downsides of Memsource for technical texts is that it doesn't localize numbers; you can overcome this difficulty using regular expressions in the desktop version, but still it's a lot work while in other tools numbers are automatically localized in the pre-translation process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Memsource makes the whole translation process faster as we handle every step from the same tool. We also find it very useful for some projects in which we use machine translation as we can add our own glossary (this needs a little bit of improvement but in general it works very well for some selected types of texts).
So far Memsource is very good and has been able to do everything I have needed it to.
What do you like best about the product?
As an engineer, I really like the customer support. They are very friendly and always go above and beyond. All of my questions have been answered thoroughly. There really aren't any problems I haven't been able to solve.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far it seems like everything is working well. There is room for improvement in some minor areas, but they are working on it and make updates quickly.
Some of the areas:
- Creating jobs and assigning providers with altered workflow steps in a project template can be not super easy
- I have heard we have been having some issues with scalability with very large projects. But I understand this is being worked on and is not prohibitive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the flexibility of the API. It allowed me to make a very complete connection between Memsource and Workfront with many features. Our internal customers are very happy.
Great CAT Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Helped improve translation efficiency and reduce errors tremendously, especially the TM feature. Very user-friendly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if the system works better with "tracked changes" in Word, and also if the system is "smarter" for PDF analysis and formatting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Translation management streamlined.
