Overall Satisfaction with Memsource

Memsource is easy for linguists but not so much for project management. I find it difficult to complete the files in a bulk or confirm segments in a given step so translations are saved in the TM. We are also facing multiple problems with activating users from assignment window--Memsource support says it should go active automatically but we need to activate them from Users tab often instead.
  • Filtering segments
  • TM analysis
  • users activation
  • confirming segments in a bulk for various languages in PM view
  • word count analysis
  • progress bars
  • Negative as we lost some translations as they were not saved in the TM properly
It was selected by the client. I would go for XTM.

Would you buy Phrase Localization Platform again?

No

I like the advanced filters in editing view and also analyzing word counts is fast and effective. It really makes my job more difficult if we need to open every single language separately and confirm the segments in editor, instead of doing it from the main site. Also users are not active if there is no file assigned to them--trouble starts when you want to assign the task to them and they cannot be picked from a drop down.
