Overall Satisfaction with Memsource

I have been using Memsource for over seven years and across multiple companies, both as a translator and as an editor/proofreader. From the very beginning, I've found the interface to be very intuitive and user-friendly and the entire user experience to be very smooth, with very robust translation memory and term base tools. The ability to transition seamlessly between web-based and desktop editors while collaborating with other translators/proofreaders/project managers is brilliant and a huge time-saver, especially compared to other (much more resource-intensive) solutions in the market. I honestly prefer working on Memsource's lean interface to, say, SDL Trados Studio's very bloated one.
  • Extremely intuitive user interface
  • Robust translation memory and term base tools
  • Seamless transition between web-based and desktop editors
  • The in-context preview feature can be erratic
  • Flexibility
  • Speed
  • Leanness
SDL Trados Studio is more robust but also much more bloated and resource-intensive and ultimately less flexible. I use both daily, but Memsource is my go-to in almost every situation.

I've specifically recommended Memsource to project managers looking for a cloud-based solution that enabled them to work with freelancers that didn't require those freelancers to have expensive licenses of their own. It's a very agile solution.
