Wordbee
It is easy to view two columns of source and target, and when using the filter to see just untranslated segments. TM and matches can be seen and differentiated easily. Scenarios where it is less appropriate are their spellcheck and filter areas, which could be improved by adding more options.

  • Different colors to differentiate the status of the segment. One can click on the segment and change the color for the segments that were translated and those that still need to be reviewed.
  • Machine translation interface. There are three different machine translators at the side of the segments.
  • TM can be seen with matches highlighted at the side.

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.

Wordbee
  • Find and replace option could be improved to be easier.
  • The filter could have more options.
  • Spellcheck and QA need to be improved because I can not see it as an option in the online interface of my client. I need to download the document to do the spell check, and then correct the errors with the find and replace option.
