Considered Both Products	Trados Studio Ian Jones Freelance translator Chose Trados Studio I believe it does not have all the features that Trados has Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Trados Studio memoQ is better quality and cheaper. Previously, Trados had a monopoly on the market but fortunately there are other adequate options available now at a lower cost. Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Trados Studio I tried using memoQ to get used to server-based localization tools, but experienced critical issues such as translation data not being updated on the server so stopped using it before I get used to it, unfortunately. It must be updated and improved by now, so I might try using … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Trados Studio It is not our main CAT tool but having an SDL Trados Studio license is really handy as we receive new requests as Trados project packages regularly. It is not as efficient as Memsource for example but it is a great option and has many features. Incentivized Helpful? Dmitry Kornyukhov Founder Chose Trados Studio We occasionally use Smartcat as well and love that it is more tailored to freelancers and smaller (boutique) agencies. It also has better overall team-management features, however SDL is a popular choice of many bigger clients that we work with, hence, choosing it was a … Incentivized Helpful? Anabella Valeria Weisman Translator Chose Trados Studio I prefer Trados Studio to other online CAT tools, since online CAT tools can turn very slowly, because of the internet. The fact that I can import documents in Excel, PowerPoint, editable PDF, and Word format helps a lot, as well as the compatibility of Trados with MemoQ. … Incentivized Helpful? Ricardo G Lopes Portuguese Interpreter and Translator Chose Trados Studio I did a private application that extracts data from an Office application and sends it to a Word table and allows the user to work there directly. Of course, SDL Trados is better than competitors but could do a better job with the formatting display in the Editor. I am aware … Incentivized Helpful? Brad Orfall Translation Manager Chose Trados Studio We have tried a variety of other CAT software at times. The problem is that few have the market penetration or critical mass of users that SDL Trados does. It's not that the software is the best out there, it's long term stability and the number of users that is more important. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose Trados Studio The interpretation business is taking care of business. There are loads of various agile devices out there meant to encourage interpreters and organizations to do their work quicker and with the quality customers expect. I have been an SDL Trados client for very nearly ten … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	RWS Group SDL Trados Studio is extremely well suited for expert CAT tool users. More novice users will have trouble getting up to speed. I have an office full of employees that constantly ask questions on how to do specific tasks, mainly because the task sequence is not obvious and is only uncovered by rote repetition of the same things. If you learn and apply the same techniques repeatedly, it becomes easier, but it seems the software was designed by software people, sometimes with little thought to the end users who have to figure it out. I don't know that professional training should be so necessary. Incentivized Brad Orfall Translation Manager Read full review
Pros	RWS Group Xbench plugin works great. You can run Xbench on the whole project with one click. TM and TB management It is one of the most common CAT tool thus it is easy for translator assignments. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	RWS Group Preview feature Accessing server-based TM often takes time. When connecting to server-based TM, I need to enter credentials twice every time. The first attempt always fails. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	RWS Group Again, the list of functions is impressive but the way it is organized (not process-driven) and the fact that complex tasks should be close to basic tasks make the product suitable to hardcore users that have a lot of time to research the manuals and blogs. By the way, Nora Diaz is one of the most respectable users of this product. Her videos help a lot! Incentivized Ricardo G Lopes Portuguese Interpreter and Translator Read full review

Return on Investment	RWS Group Trados is used by many clients, so it helps me to get more jobs. Having one of the latest versions helps me a lot. I can, for example, import editable pdf documents and work on them within the Trados environment. It also helps me with files which need to be returned in bilingual format in Word.
