User Testimonials
	Smartling	XTRF
Likelihood to Recommend	Smartling Smartling is great for a company or team that doesn't have the resources to translate multiple properties in-house. It automates the process and makes it much more manageable. If you have a large website that is managed by one local team and not a global team, Smartling is for you. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	XTRF Translation Management Systems In my experience, XTRF's track record on basic functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Those so-called "smart projects" feel more like needy projects, with limitations popping up at every turn. And don't get me started on the integrations—memoQ? Yeah, I feel like it's a struggle. Customizing notifications? Good luck with that. And as for support, well, let's just say you're better off sending messages to the void. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Smartling 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.

Return on Investment	Smartling Helped us win 3 enterprise deals where localization is a must- got us an additional $XXXk ARR. Incentivized Palash Soni Co-Founder and CEO Read full review	XTRF Translation Management Systems In my opinion, the limitations in functionality, especially with smart projects and integrations with tools like memoQ, have hindered the full realization of its potential.
