"Across didn't fulfill the needs for our localisation process"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Across?

Across has a good project management overview, you can filter the translations by certain users to see what and how much is assigned to which person. You can also unassign all jobs in that way from one person to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Across?

The look of the software is quite old and not very up to date. There is also a lot of manual clicking and we missed good connectors and automatisation options for our workflows. We also had issues with the speed of the tool as it is not browser-based and especially some colleagues in China told us that it was working really slow for them. Also the restriction of user licenses (you can buy more but it means more costs) was something that was difficult from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Across:

Check in advance if the software meets your requirements and have a look inside the tool first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Across solving and how is that benefiting you?

Across helped us to localise our content and translate all required texts that we were working with. We could include external agencies and users to work with us on these projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brief Across Review"

4/5

What do you like best about Across?

Multifunctionality, low system requirements, a lot of training material to learn the program, big community to get help from, providing free license for students is also a very sweet deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Across?

The basic edition does not involve document preview, which is a downside. Sometimes program stutters with no reason (as if cannot communicate with the server), interface could have been simpler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Across Review"

4/5

What do you like best about Across?

Across is a free CAT tool with tons of features and very helpful community. If you are a student, you can utilize their pro version, free of charge. That part is my favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Across?

It can be quite cumbersome to navigate through its interface. Even though it looks simple enough, some features and their titles are under different names, causing slight confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
