Smartcat vs. Yandex Translate

ABBY SmartCAT is truly a universal solution that can fit any type of organization from freelancers flying solo, to small team of translators and large translation agencies. Anyone who wants to establish themselves as a professional translator can benefit greatly from the CAT tool that SmartCAT offers absolutely free of charge, while teams will surely appreciate the collaborative features that make it possible to work simultaneously with other translators, proofreaders, editors and QA experts on a single project.

It's a very nice, fast and practical tool for translating certain patterns, but if your job is professional, you may not find some languages in the app. Many more languages should be added to the application. And many times if you are using the voice command feature, you cannot understand it properly. You have to check again.
