Gridly Reviews & Product Details

1. Easy to use interface. All roles can easily understand how to use it, very fast to learn even for a novice;

2. Strong version control feature. Capable of manging multiple versions. Translations can be aligned and synced across versions easily.

3. Able to set multiple languages as the source languge, and the outofdate logic of the target translations help us to filter the strings for translation update.

4. Prompt support. Issues can be quickly solved by the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requirement of the seat limit. Sometimes, some startup companies want to buy the seats, but the minimum seats for sale is 10. Would be better if the minimum seat requirement can be cancelled, and more start-ups can be able to afford it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Gridly helps us manage marketing texts for Angry Birds Dream Blast in 15 different languages, keeping track of everything effortlessly. The filter function is a lifesaver for finding all necessary content quickly. Creating my own view tailored to my needs is a huge plus, simplifying my workflow by allowing me to focus only on the English character limits while the translation agency handles the rest. It's one of those reliable tools that, once you implement it into your daily routine, makes you question why you'd ever go back. Plus, our team has different views that work for everyone, from the agency to the admin, making it incredibly adaptable for our specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I started using it, I had to import old spreadsheets into Gridly. When I used the sheets, I used to insert new rows at the top. With Gridly, you can only do it at the bottom, so the chronology is messed up. This one is specific to Google Chrome on MacOS. I use my laptop's trackpad with two fingers to go left and right to reveal new columns. Often when I go all the way to the left (first columns) what happens is that I go so far that the browser triggers the back button, meaning going to the previously visited website. It's incredibly frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of access to any translation grid.

Ability to see references and compare translations in other languages in real time.

Convenient Q&A tools.

Reliable and simple ticket system that allows asking questions and receiving answers easily, with media support.

User friendly interface that explains everything without crowding the main work area.

Seldom down, allowing users to work at almost any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much, apart from the lack of options to customize the personal experience (visual/functional settings for individual users). Since this is due to the inherent design of the product, it doesn't really bother me.

One other lacking feature is the ability to track progress of your translation work. Since the batches are not attached to individual translators, it is not possible to track the workflow reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridly is the best experience I've had with a CMS. I like its spreadsheet-like interface, which makes it pretty easy to use.

The customer support is great, they are always actively working on any improvement we need. Gridly really makes it easy to collaborate with everyone in your organization. It's intuitive and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not like that Gridly did not ship on release with all of the same features I frequently used in its predecessor Loc Direct. But the Gridly Team fixed this and improved Gridly way beyond Loc Direct ever could. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the standout features of Gridly is its flexibility. It is very easy to add, remove or change the setup of a grid. Ability to have different views for different tasks is also very useful but the best is responsiveness of the team and adding new features allowing for more and more automations. For example, as part of my workflow I combine specific views with only up-to-date strings with automated exports of the files to update external translation CAT tool.

One specific feature we would like the team to upgrade is imports warning handling. With relatively complex team composition in our organization, this is important to us. We have learned to use workarounds but solid warning handling would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Gridly is how it bridges the gap between a standard spreadsheet and a robust CMS. Managing multi-channel marketing content and customer support scripts used to be chaotic. Gridly’s grid-based interface makes it incredibly easy to track localization, update content statuses, and collaborate with the team in real-time. It has significantly streamlined my daily content operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Gridly is fantastic for organizing structured data, the rich-text editing capabilities within individual cells can feel a bit limited for content creators. When drafting long-form social media posts or blog snippets, I miss having more robust formatting options directly in the grid. It sometimes requires us to do the final formatting tweaks in the actual publishing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Gridly is its powerful API and seamless integration with game engines. It allows our development and localization teams to collaborate in real-time, keeping our content pipeline fast, transparent, and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike, but navigating between multiple large projects can sometimes feel a bit cluttered. A more streamlined dashboard for cross-project overview would be a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridly uses a highly intuitive, spreadsheet interface that anyone can understand immediately. Unlike a standard Google Sheet, it allows user to store strings right alongside their relevant digital assets in the exact same row. This provides users with immediate visual context, drastically reducing mistranslations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app slows down significantly and can be incredibly laggy sometimes, especially when loading massive grids with thousands of rows or when multiple team members are translating in real-time. Filtering rows or switching between different views often triggers a frustrating loading spinner, and typing sometimes feels delayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can export all the target languages to one file, which makes it easier to share. Creating separate grids for various strings like UI and VO is another feature I appreciate. The initial setup seemed rather simple to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to export batches of strings of my choosing, but that feature doesn't seem to be available. Being able to add comments to the strings that don't have to be reflected in the game metadata. Just something for people using Gridly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gridly has been great for our game localizations. The UI is very user friendly and easy to use and it integrates well with our tools while being steady fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can’t think of anything negative to mention. It’s been really great and reliable so far, and I’ve had no issues with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
