User Friendly TMS
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy Memsource is to use. We have consistently been using Memsource for about 5 years and are very happy with the software. Our translators and editors are able to work in it without a problem, and we've found that many of our partner agencies that we use are already familiar with it as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are so many things offered by Memsource that I'm not sure how to use them (or if they apply to our company). Specifically one thing that frustates me sometimes is that there is no warning on the page where you upload a new document and assign vendors to tell you that you forgot to to choose an attachment so it will not be created. This happens to me quite often that I go ahead and assign vendors for all languages and steps, hit "save" and then it disappears since I forgot to upload an attachment. I then have to start all over again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able now to provide discounts for 100% matches, fuzzy matches and repetitions. Plus, we enjoy more consistency from document to document with the same client by using Term Bases and TMs. It's also easy to download completed files and useful to essentially have a one-stop shop where all of our documents are housed and worked on.

Great for small teams

The Friendliest of CATs
What do you like best about the product?
Memsource and its user-friendly interface helped me understand there was no need for me to be afraid of computer-assisted translation and set me on a new path in my career. I am now one of the two certified Memsource trainers in my home country, looking to help other people understand how to use Memsource better and make their lives and work a lot easier. And not only that! Becoming a certified Memsource user and trainer encouraged me to learn new CAT tools, and platforms, and generally be more open to learning tech.
A big thank you to people at Memsource from me!

What do you dislike about the product?
I think we need better quality MT output for Western Balkans languages, Serbian in particular because it often gets mixed up with Bosnian if it's Latin, but that's more down to MT engines, not Memsource Translate itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster turnaround time with TMs and MT, and great Quality Assurance features, help us work quicker and deliver consistent quality translations, which is an added value to my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start building your client-specific Term Bases as soon as possible. Helps with the QA and saves you time.
Easy to learn, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Memsource is very easy to learn and user-friendly. It is a powerful yet simple tool that allows you to manage all the steps in a translation project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss some help bubbles when hovering over elements on-screen.
Sometimes tags can be a bit confusing. When converting from some file formats (for instance, docx) tags appear that do not correspond to special features in the original file.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Memsource to teach translation at undergraduate level. Memsource gives my students a clear picture of all the components and actors in a real translation project. Unlike similar programs, Memsource keeps things simple so that students can focus on practicing translation, instead of deciphering menus and processes. The feedback I have got from my students up to now is very positive.
Excellent CAT tool for freelancers and companies alike
What do you like best about the product?
The platform's neat design, the simplicity of use, and the possibility of working offline and online and using other vendors' tools, like MT. I mainly use the termbases, translation memories, and the translation tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems that in the new version of Memsource I can't extend the deadline of projects. Before, whenever I got warnings that I project would be deleted in "X" time, I had the chance to put it off, but now I can't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have increased my daily output and can get faster turnaround times. I have also been able to achieve consistency in translations and to create personalized termbases for different projects. A plus is the possibility of using external MT apps, like DeepL and Microsoft.
Memsource is easy to use, the tools are easy to learn and has a great accuracy.
What do you like best about the product?
I can access it from anywhere, the interface is great and intuitive. And the shortcuts are very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The division sometimes is incorrect, so I have to join segments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to finish the translations faster, I've been able to create my own glossary and adding words is easy. I am more productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn how to manage the glossaries and profiles (linguist/translator) beforehand.
Amazing CAT tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to find your way around
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Memsource worked with INDD files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can communicate, assign, deliver, and review content in one place. I love this!
Best management system for translation projects
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working with Phrase for over 7 years now and I absolutely love its user-friendly interface, also the fact that it is a very complete tool for translating and managing translation projects, which makes it ideal for group work and collaboration. It offers all we need and keeps improving and adding updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike about it, honestly. I keep on choosing Phrase because it is a great tool for me, and I do not expect that to change if it keeps improving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Phrase since it was Memsource to manage translation projects and meet the needs of an international network. We have continuous translation projects of all kinds involving several languages. Phrase just makes my life and my job easier. The most important benefit I have realized is productivity, it allows me to keep track of all projects in an organized and efficient way so that I can spend more time on translation.
Collaboration at its best
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that linguists, copywriters, designers and developers can collaborate so easily with this tool. It's also been very easy to learn about Phrase and how to use it. The training provided is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly cannot think of anything that I dislike so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phrase is going to help us with our ways of work by contributing to efficiency. It will also help us to minimize linguistic and technical bugs that result from a siloed product creation process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An easy tool with loads of benefits. Worth considering.
