memoQ vs. TransPerfect GlobalLink

MemoQ is especially useful when working in tandem with established translation agencies. The network access is one of the best and allows users to collaborate in projects easily. I would recommend memoQ in that manner, as I have always found it very intuitive and easy to use. All functionalities provided are a must for translators in the industry.

It's effective for translating technical content, but there are faster, more intuitive, and visually cleaner tools that are out there. It's a bit clunky and requires too many different steps for different things in my opinion.

• Online projects feature
• Detailed customization such as project templates
• Various export options such as plain, XLIFF, RTF, etc.

Incentivized

• The glossary is good to work with

Incentivized

• Selection of multiple segments is not possible (you can select multiple segments that are following each other by holding down the shift key but not randomly selected segments by holding the Ctrl key or so).
• Make it easier to use filter configurations of a file already used in a project when adding a new file of the same type.

Incentivized

• Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
• No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
• Confusing interface
• Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.

I believe memoQ is the best of these 3 tools. It has soo much functionality. I wish I could use it for all my projects, but we have a lot of clients that want to use either Memsource or SDL Trados Studio. As for the Web Editor, our translators seem to prefer Memsource over memoQ, so this might be something memoQ can improve in the future.

It's the slowest of them all and the design/interface/usability is a little 1990. I also don't feel as confident that it will save my work to the cloud like the others do, because it has logged me out suddenly and didn't save the last strings I had worked on, even if I had committed them and saved them.

Incentivized

• Sales improved.
• Production rate is growing.
• Linguists are happy.

Incentivized

• Positive: Helps with content consistency (using the same terms/phrase matches throughout the years)
• Positive: Good glossary building for repeated, technical terms and names
• Negative: I feel it slows work down rather than speeding it up, which is the idea behind using a CAT tool
