Perfect CAT tool for freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Memsource since my Masters' studies in 2014, and I consider it the best tool for freelancers. It's intuitive, very easy to use, and can be used for almost any type of project. I love it, share it, and recommend it to colleagues and agencies I work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem might be that Memsource does not quite read PDFs in the Cyrillic alphabet -- it usually creates additional signs that cannot be found in the original file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem I have is solved: I get a source text, I upload it to Memsource, and I have a perfectly formatted target text.
Great service, smart company.
What do you like best about the product?
Memsource is a great partner to work with. Great support also. The service they provide makes a difference and helps us to reach excellent levels of quality for our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. It's great to be able to rely on a trustworthy company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Memsource provides us the right tools for our collaborators. The REST API is handy for us to cleanly integrate their services in our web applications.
Great, intuitive translation tool for project managers and linguists
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Memsource for 5+ years, and I can genuinely say I'm a huge fan! It's an intuitive and easy-to-use platform which is great because we have easily and quickly trained many translators on its use. As a PM, it's helped me organize and centralise my work, plus there are many tools and specific configurations that really improve translation quality (ie. converting html codes to tags so that they are not easily broken in files). I feel they consistently add new features and improve things too. Last but not least, the support team is really great and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the way termbases are updated could be improved. Also, it would be great to have more options regarding translation memories. Furthermore, the reporting capabilities are great but it would be useful to have some more options to customise the way they are generated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've centralised all our translation requests, in all areas, with Memsource. It's also allowed us to save a lot of time and money by using translation memories and the ability to "pretranslate" with previous translation requests. The reporting element has also helped us a lot with our invoicing processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth it if you want to have all your multilingual translation resources in one single place: different projects for different types of requests, translation memories, termbases, etc.
User-friendly tool with excellent customer service
What do you like best about the product?
The support agents! Whatever issue you face, the customer service is excellent. The responsiveness and politeness surprises me every time.
The UI is clean and tidy, which makes this software stand out of the crowd. For project managers, it offers many solutions to streamline the process and reduce boring side tasks to a minimum (templates, workflows or connectors for example). The editor is fast and the QA tool is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
The system has a limit of 10 active users per PM and if you need more users, you have to buy another PM. This makes things tricky and expensive for projects with many language combinations, especially if they are frequent. This is the only negative aspect I can think of but hopefully, the team will soon come up with an alternative plan to avoid this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since Memsource allows you to give access to translators, we managed to avoid compatibility issues between different CAT tools and we could finally drop file exchanges. Thanks to the cloud solution, several translators can work on the same project simultaneously with no delays.
My experiencie with Phrase (previously Memsource) has been great.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a pleasure working with it, easy to use and little to no downtime. Also is important to take in consideration the support team behind it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside or a feature I would love they add would be more compatibility with other software and applications our freelancer may use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Memsource to help us with project management and give freelancers a secure platform to work on.
Great translation tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's really intuitive and I love receiving emails for new task alerts. The Suggestion and Comments features are also very helpful for translation temas.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. Phrase is in my top list of CAT tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Repetitions are really easy to manage with Phrase.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and you won't regret!
Invaluable CAT tool and amazing support team!
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely easy interface and even more effective for small to large projects. As easy it is to navigate there are more complex tools available and the support team has done a great job guiding me through these processes. The translation memory feature and project templates are also very convenient tools and huge time savers!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to really dislike about Memsource. The software might lag a little from time to time but it's not really an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to integrate the Zendesk connector on Memsource has been a game changer for our support team and myself. The ability to export bilingual files has also been very useful for our dev team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new to the industry or new to this software, Memsource goes above and beyond to help you learn the program and get the most out of what this software can do. They constantly host focus groups to maximize the abilities Memsource offers.
Great tool. Constant development and support. Using it for years. Highly recommended!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, Reliability, Flexibility, keeps pace with Technology.
What do you dislike about the product?
Design maybe, did not chan/ange in a while, yet, it still offers everything what a client needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Translating challenging, complex projects has become easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try, you won't regret it.
Great automated translation system even for developers
What do you like best about the product?
Phrase has all the things I need as a startup to automate translation management. Free tier for starting, integrated with BitBucket (and Github) so even our developers can see the process and participate in it. Makes the translation process an integrated part of the development.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some glitches when the trial period ended and I was automatically moved back to the free tier, but even then their Support team helped out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm building a software system as a startup and to roll out the product it needs to have more languages than English.
Translation and Localization - Empowered!
What do you like best about the product?
Considering the different CAT tools on the market, Memsource by far is the most straightforward to get a translator to work on. It has a lot of built in complexity that can be extremely daunting, but also extremely powerful in the right hands.
What do you dislike about the product?
Things just sometimes don't work and some niche, but crucial functionality simply does not exist. But Memsource's support team and account managers have been awesome in finding solutions for any problems we face.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our company, Memsource is our CAT tool of choice. It's vast support of different setups and file types has made us extremely competitive with other LSPs. It's malleable to API integrations, with an awesome support team - there's almost nothing we can't do!
