    SDL Trados Studio is extremely well suited for expert CAT tool users. More novice users will have trouble getting up to speed. I have an office full of employees that constantly ask questions on how to do specific tasks, mainly because the task sequence is not obvious and is only uncovered by rote repetition of the same things. If you learn and apply the same techniques repeatedly, it becomes easier, but it seems the software was designed by software people, sometimes with little thought to the end users who have to figure it out. I don't know that professional training should be so necessary.

    Pros
    ProWritingAid
    • Fully equipped - the ProWritingAid tool gives you almost all the writing control you could ever need or want.
    • Ease of use - The ProWritingAid app has an intuitive dashboard and all the features and functionalities listed on the top bar. This writing assistant for online users offers you a great way to improve the content in just a few minutes.
    • Price: Compared to other online editing programs with grammar checkers like Grammarly, Ginger. ProWritingAid Premium is only $ 60 a year, which is affordable for most people.
    • Integrate Scrivener and Google docs - We've been waiting for this for a long time. Especially those who use Scrivener. Gdocs is not supported, yet the ProWritingAid fix on your text within your document makes it easier for you.
    • Style Editor - Comes with an attractive writing and editing tool.

    Cons
    ProWritingAid
    • One of the websites I visit has troubles with the addon.
    • Another typical issue is that some of the "correction lines" that appear under the text do not match.
    • The only drawback is that in order to get good content, you must copy and paste it into a new document in My Home for ProWritingAid.

    • I would like it to be faster. When I create a new project, even if it is short, it takes a couple of minutes until I can start using the file.
    • I would like it to support more than 5 languages as, for example, I work with 7 different language pairs.
    • It does not always accept the files after they were converted with OCR. It would be great if I could use Trados for those files as well.

    Again, the list of functions is impressive but the way it is organized (not process-driven) and the fact that complex tasks should be close to basic tasks make the product suitable to hardcore users that have a lot of time to research the manuals and blogs. By the way, Nora Diaz is one of the most respectable users of this product. Her videos help a lot!

    Support has been fast, precise and thorough. There is support on the web, by chat, by email, from the communities, from the experts, on the product Help section, on YouTube, and other social media. There is also a paid support for companies. This area is where the company stands out. I was not able to evaluate the support in languages other than English.

    I tried using memoQ to get used to server-based localization tools, but experienced critical issues such as translation data not being updated on the server so stopped using it before I get used to it, unfortunately. It must be updated and improved by now, so I might try using it again in the near future.

    Return on Investment
    ProWritingAid
    • ProWritingAid is perfect if you have words that you use regularly that are not correct words, such as brand names, slang, or abbreviations. It is not necessary to correct each of these errors, just by clicking on "add to dictionary" ProWritingAid reminds that that word has to pass.

    • As we have the license we can accept and take on our clients' requests without problem.
    • Integration with other tools such as Xbench makes it very easy to apply our QA procedures.
    • It is less efficient compared to our main CAT tool thus sometimes it can get time-consuming.
