    TransPerfect
    It's effective for translating technical content, but there are faster, more intuitive, and visually cleaner tools that are out there. It's a bit clunky and requires too many different steps for different things in my opinion.

    If you need a quick turnaround for quoting your end users. If you like to have a self service portal to manage your projects.The translation quality is pretty good and just in case you have any issues with it there is always a scope for feedback.

    Cons
    TransPerfect
    • Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
    • No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
    • Confusing interface
    • Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.

    It's the slowest of them all and the design/interface/usability is a little 1990. I also don't feel as confident that it will save my work to the cloud like the others do, because it has logged me out suddenly and didn't save the last strings I had worked on, even if I had committed them and saved them.

    Return on Investment
    TransPerfect
    • Positive: Helps with content consistency (using the same terms/phrase matches throughout the years)
    • Positive: Good glossary building for repeated, technical terms and names
    • Negative: I feel it slows work down rather than speeding it up, which is the idea behind using a CAT tool
