Use Phrase: you will not regret it.
What do you like best about the product?
It's clear, uncluttered, has great functionality and well, it works!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything really, other than sometimes a segment may be populated with a translation suggestion that Phrase thinks matches a near-similar segment previously translated. And it'll be wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it as a translator, for clients. I can't answer this.
{"translation":"Hello, how are you?"}
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, intuitive navigation. Functions are not too many. All necessary functions are built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have encountered an issue with a revision in translated segments that does not match a segment on the revision history pane.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Facile da usare, non c'è bisogno di spendere molto tempo per imparare come usarlo.
Easy-to-use platform, no installation required
What do you like best about the product?
As a LSP, the best feature of Phrase is that users do not need to download and install any kind of editor on their PC. There is no need to update old software. This helps avoid installation problems that may be caused by different OS versions, OS systems, or lack of IT skills, which makes new linguist integration quick and smooth. We have received reviews from linguists that the web editor UI is intuitive with streamlined functions, compared to other major CAT tool editors.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the create new project UI was revamped, it took a while for our PMs to get used to the new format. However the training videos for both linguists and PMs were very useful in catching up with the new UI.
The preview window, although helpful, is sometimes inaccurate and does not reflect the original document (e.g., highlighted text, colored text). Although it is noted that the preview is not 100% reliable, juming back and forth between the Phrase window and the source file can be a hassle, so an improvement in this function would be a big help in boosting translation efficiency.
Connection to the EU data center can be very slow at times. We have to wait a while for a PPT file to be uploaded to a new job. This happens in the evening (JST), so I assume this is due to server traffic starting in the CET time zone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phrase helps us control scheduling, assignment, and output quality of all our translation work. Before using Phrase, we used Excel for scheduling, e-mail for getting in touch with and assigning translators, and our own platform for assessiing translator quality. All this can now be controlled by accessing the Phrase Platform, and the progress is shared among our PMs with high transparency.

What do you dislike about the product?
I only use the TMS, so I have the feeling I´m missing out on other things, but I like TMS a lot.
I feel that the new feature of reaching a cap per term is not very fair, some months I have a lot of work ad some I don't, so it should compensate. I find it werd to have to purchase more capacity....

It helps me a lot with fantastic features such as Translation Memory and Term Bases
What do you like best about the product?
I have used this platform for several years. I'd like to say it's very convenient and definitely improves our efficiency. Here are some features that I like best:
1. Translation memories & Term bases
If there are some words or phrases that you have translated before, you can just choose them from the suggestions shown on the side of the page. You don't need to translate them again.
2. QA
It helps you check the quality of the translation. For instance, if the same word is translated into several versions in different places, the QA feature will notify you.
3. Workflow
If many team members are working on the same project, the workflow feature is very helpful. Different members can have different roles.

What do you dislike about the product?
For some reason, it is sometimes difficult to log into the system due to cache issue of browser.
But if you know how to solve it, it's not a big deal. Just need to clear the cache

Great account manager and reactive and caring support team
What do you like best about the product?
I loved out key account manager since the start, she was very responsive and always tried to find the best solution for the size and needs of our company. Also, while integrating TMS and creating automations the technical support team has always been super suportive, reactive and caring. When an issue could not quickly be solved they still kept us informed of what was happening and what they were doing to solve the problem.
I also like all the new AI features Phrase is launching, including the AI LQA, Language AI Portal and the AI engines that allow me to customize MT depending on the project and language.

Phrase offers a great array of tools that simplify your work. No need to rework projects. MT is almost flawless making your work more interesting and enjoyable.

Too many tools available for small customers. When being small you do not need to make use of all these great tools, they should be optional on a pay-per-use plan thus reducing your cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I basicaly use the platform to translate documents and have been using for over 5 years now, I could not do without it. It being online has helped me worked from anywhere with an internet connectio.
