"Fundamental CAT tool for all freelance translators"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Trados?

I like the fact that Trados offers so many features to improve the lives of translators, but at the same time I find it very confusing because I don't know how to use them all yet. It often takes me a long time to find what I'm looking for. I'd like to have the time to learn how to use them all. I like the fact that there are lots of shortcuts available for the functions offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trados?

I'd like the software to be faster between validating segments and to crash less when I have to manage large files. I'd also like there to be a shortcut for selecting all the text, like in other CAT tools (Phrase for example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential and life saving"
5/5
What do you like best about Trados?

After many years of use, I can say that I could not work without Trados Studio. The feature-rich interface and fast project creation speeds up work enormously, helps maintain consistency throughout the text, allows you to use multiple translation memories and glossaries at the same time, and performs quality control by which the translation turns out flawlessly. Personally, I use it for all my translations, both because the translation agencies I work with require it and because I prefer to use it even when I don't have to, since it is very convenient and speeds up the work.

What do you dislike about Trados?

Some features are a little more difficult to use and you only become familiar with them after a long time of using the software. Once you understand how they work, however, they are useful and effective in terms of saving time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for workspace use"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Trados?

Extremely Reliable. WorldServer's multi-node cluster guarantees continuous uptime and instantaneous failover.

Incredibly Scalable. WorldServer allows you to quickly manage heavy concurrent traffic by adding or removing nodes on the fly.

High reliability. Raft is a consensus mechanism used by WorldServer to ensure reliable data consistency and synchronisation.

Superior Efficiency. Each node of WorldServer is capable of handling tens of thousands of queries per second (QPS) thanks to RocksDB, its storage engine.

Auto-Pruning System. In order to keep WorldServer running smoothly, it can remove or compress data from the past on the basis of how often it is accessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Trados?

Extremely Complicated. WorldServer is a distributed database with a sophisticated design and set of procedures.

Large amounts of material are used. WorldServer needs more CPU time, storage space, and network bandwidth to guarantee high availability.

• SQL is not supported. Since it is a NoSQL database, WorldServer cannot process SQL statements.

• A Great Deal of Trial and Error Required to Master. Developers must spend time learning WorldServer's unique query syntax and client libraries.

• Uncertainty. WorldServer lacks the reliability of more established distributed NoSQL solutions like MySQL because of its infancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
