Overall Satisfaction with Memsource
We are using Memsource as our main CAT tool and manage most of our projects there. Memsource is a cloud-based CAT tool and so easy to use compared to other CAT tools. Depending on your subscription, it gives you a certain number of translator users which you can create for your translators. You can create as many as you like but keep a certain amount active. This is a great feature because the translator doesn't have to have a paid license.
Pros
- Cloud-based
- TM and TB management
- Being able to create translator users
Cons
- It used to accept INDD files and convert them to IDML but now it doesn't. It's a big downgrade in my opinion.
- QA feature can be improved. Too many false positives and cannot be customised in detail.
- When another server assigns a project to our own server, it doesn't come up in the search function.
- Being cloud-based
- Analysing and creating net wordcounts
- TM management
- Overall, the translators are happy with working with Memsource and it is free to use for them.
- Definitely time-saving in terms of managing a project, maintaining details, translating memories, etc.
- If needed, we use the MT integrations as well.
Memsource is a better option in my opinion for project management as it is cloud based and so much easier to use compared to memoQ and Trados.
