"Extensive Project Management Tool for Translation"
4/5
What do you like best about XTRF Translation Management System?

XTRF is a huge platform and there is no end to their customising features. It's a useful tool to manage all your translation projects and you can store all related information such as client and vendor information. I also like the XTRF Academy videos because they are really helpful when introducing XTRF to new colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XTRF Translation Management System?

I had a hard time understanding the smart projects feature even though the name smart gives the impression that it would be easier. Workflows seem rather complicated in comparison to the classic view.

Also I wish XTRF sent a message/notification to Project Managers when a provide enters a holiday. We don't use the search translators function often as we know which translator to book but we have to go into their profile everytime to check if they entered a new holiday or not.

"My faithful co-worker"
5/5
What do you like best about XTRF Translation Management System?

It helps all of us who are involved in the translation, editing and/or proofreading process. In my case as an editor, it helps me a lot to know what time the projects arrive, what time I must deliver it, the word count and the amount that I will be paid. For me, XTRF is the ideal ally in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XTRF Translation Management System?

Sometimes the session tends to close very quickly, so I have to enter my data to log in constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about XTRF Translation Management System?

I like that XTRF is simple to use and quick to get used to and can book every project here and have control over project or task levels etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XTRF Translation Management System?

I tried using Smart Projects because of its looks but the migration is hard because you have to amend every little metadata like your jobs, languages, how your PO looks and contains etc according to your needs - we got all set up in classic projects, in smart one it'll be hard so we kept postponing the migration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"XTRF — a savior for localization project managers"
4/5
What do you like best about XTRF Translation Management System?

XTRF is a highly-specialized enterprise-class software solution specially designed for localization projects, which typically include translation, editing and proofreading work, etc., required by clients and completed by vendors. It integrates functions like client and vendor data management, quote request and confirmation, work assignment, payment arrangements, timeline management and file delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XTRF Translation Management System?

The automation of low-ended jobs also indicates that project managers who can only do these will be obsoleted. And the same applies to the ones who are not capable of taking advantage of technological advancement. In this sense, XTRF is a filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A decent translation project management platform"
4/5
What do you like best about XTRF Translation Management System?

XTRF is yet another translation project management platform that seems to be adopted by more and more translation companies. It is a decent way to issue purchase orders and invoices. The jobs themselves are emailed between translators and project managers, though. I also like that the translator can self-report a lot of information such as skills, software, and vacation days; this probably makes things convenient for the project managers too. It's also helpful for the translator that all past invoices can be stored in one place, with payment statuses transparent to both sides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XTRF Translation Management System?

I am not aware of any company that actually uses the "Job Offers" page, and so I don't think this section is all that useful. Project integration might also be a good thing, depending on how well translators and project managers communicate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
