    Cons
    Smartcat
    • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
    • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
    • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.
