Smartling is great because I can use the Figma plugin to pull already translated strings into my project. If I need translations for the project, I can submit these strings from within and continue working on the next ask of the day. We also have great dev workflows built in: we submit one PR and a Smartling ticket, then, once the ticket is complete, run a simple command to pull in translated strings and refresh the project in a matter of seconds.

Love the product and I really like how we use it for public sites. The only negative aspect is that it is just hard to find Tridion devs that understand the tool, grasp .net, react, and understand the blueprint, etc.

We look forward to seeing more in-depth reporting and user management features specifically for translation agencies that handle multiple client accounts
Tridion is complicated in enough ways that it makes it difficult to train new users. Therefore, we have to limit the number of people with access to the system since we have not yet implemented Workflow.
When something goes wrong (items fail to publish, or there is unexpected behavior with components), there is little explanation provided that would point us in the right direction to troubleshoot. As a result, content Authors and Editors have to frequently ask for IT assistance.
I have never seen a software company working so diligently to make improvements in a constant and consistent way. Their tool has truly transformed and made a great impact to localization industry
I am giving this a semi-high rating because we have already got Tridion up and running and we are still in the process of moving the sites over to Tridion. It is unlikely we will be moving things to a new CMS AGAIN in the near future as the cost to get Tridion was high.
I do think Smartling has a very high usability. It is easy to access, straightforward in what it can do and has a user-friendly design. It is also highly adaptable, though I wish there was a way to set more keyboard shortcuts for functionalities where they are not currently available.

The editor user interface is very user friendly and in-site editing makes simple updates fast and easy. The extensibility of Tridion is a big plus and the ability to add our own options into the default Tridion interface helps us integrate with external systems. Finally, the user permissions and security system helps us deploy it within our large organization.
We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.
It is a nuclear missile compared to the other handguns and knives on the market today. But it also requires nuclear technicians and expertise that a handgun doesn't require. Do you need to decimate your competition and you have the investment capabilities necessary to put a nuclear missile into the sky? Then definitely do it. Especially if you need a very good multi-lingual blueprint provider like Tridion.

We can think in English and know that Smartling can localize and translate for the rest of the world's markets. This probably would have taken weeks, or at least a month, before Smartling, and now we can have translated strings for 150+ markets in a matter of a week.
