Gridly Reviews & Product Details

One of the standout features of Gridly is its flexibility. The tool lets you add columns, modify their properties, and adjust views at any moment of the project, making it highly customizable, versatile, and modular. I’ve used Gridly on many very different projects, each with unique requirements, and I was able to adapt the tool to fit all of them. With the help of multiple plugins, integrating Gridly into an existing pipeline is straightforward. It’s useful not only for translation tasks but also for managing documentation.

Gridly offers a wide range of features, which means there is a learning curve as you get to know the tool and become comfortable using it. When you first start working with Gridly, it's important to approach its features with an open mind. Sometimes it requires adjustment of your existing processes. Rather than trying to make Gridly function like other tools, you should focus on Gridly potential. People who are more accustomed to "safer" or more "rigid" tools might find it more challenging to adapt to Gridly at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridly is so powerful. Not only a translation tool, the intuitive grid setup and the API connection means we now also use it publish various types of content directly into our games, such as News and Competitions. Views, filters, searches and access controls makes it our preferred grid tool, over Google Sheets in many cases.

The Gridly team is also very helpful. If we as customer report issues, they are often fixed the next day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our language and content databases are huge, and we can sometimes feel it when using Gridly, as it slows down when working with tens of thousands of rows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Gridly keeps everything organized in one place. It feels like a spreadsheet but with way more power behind it — perfect for managing all the different languages and content in a game. The ability to track changes, work with teammates in real time, and hook it up to tools like Unity or Git is super helpful. It saves a lot of back-and-forth and makes the whole localization process smoother and faster. And they have the best customer support ever — love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you’re not used to tools like this. Some of the more advanced stuff takes time to figure out, and the help docs could be clearer in places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridly has allowed us to scale up the localization on our projects in a way that wasn't achievable before, centralizing everything for the team. Its multiple plugins and versatility also help us customize it for each project. The Gridly team is also incredibly helpful and receptive to new ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation with Unreal and mapping English can be a bit tricky with some workarounds required. It would also be nice to have HTML tags implemented in a preview function. The conflict management tool during importing can also be a bit finicky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to think about a dislike - we've used this system for a long time over many projects, but we've run into some technical issues over the years, especially in the early days, but much less frequent as it has matured. Any issues have always been resolved quickly and we never experienced any loss of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've used Gridly now for multiple years and haven't looked back!

Gridly is a very accessible tool that basically anyone can hop into and get their way around. If anything has not functioned properly or we have suggestions, their team is always there to receive it.

The addition of their automation tool in your grids has helped a lot with our pipeline and sped our work up, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The loading of data when using the grids has definitely improved since we came on but can still be slow from time to time.

The user groups and permissions side in the backend can be very confusing and I'd love if you could get a "view as" function to help see what they would see before inviting people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to localisation, Gridly is truly a master of all trades -- and as feature-rich as it is, it's so easy to use that you'll breeze through everything it has to offer in no time. With our entire localisation pipeline built around Gridly, we haven't regretted it for a moment!

Depending on your needs, you can simply use Gridly as an advanced localisation spreadsheet and endpoint for all your localisations, but with many twists, including TMs, histories, and countless filtering and sorting options, all within a single collaborative grid!

For larger projects -- or just for convenience -- Gridly has a huge amount of customisation and automation options that will save you time and effort every step of the way. You can even integrate scripts directly into your grids! Just to give you an idea, you can set up your own AI automations if you have the skills. Or simply link any of your existing Google sheets or Figma projects to Gridly to save headaches for everyone involved. No more manual copying!

The Gridly team is also available almost 24/7 to help you with both silly and complicated issues (or whatever else you may come across while using it), which has saved our team many times.

With the forthcoming addition of CAT, Gridly is rightly set to become the perfect tool for both translators and managers in one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As much as I love Gridly (and its team!), there's still little room for improvement in terms of usability.

For a Firefox user, it's disappointing that Gridly offers poor support for browsers other than Chrome, which basically means that some features don't work well outside of it -- you might consider having Chrome on hand if you're not using it as your main browser.

Occasional bugs may also occur with newer features, but the development team takes each one seriously and works quickly to fix them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
