Post title: Worst CAT tool I've ever worked with
A customer of ours recently switched from using Memsource (a decent enough online CAT tool) to XTM.
Our productivity immediately plummeted. We find XTM to be slow, buggy, and utterly lacking the features one would expect from a professional tool (for most of our client we work using either memoQ or Studio).
I've been using CAT tools for over twenty-five years (I was one of the very first users of DV, back in the early '90s), and I've never seen a worse tool than XTM.
I imagine it must be cheaper than competing tools for translation companies, because I cannot otherwise explain why they are adopting it:
Cons:
- Terrible interface
- Buggy
- Slow
- Lacking most of the features that a professional CAT tool should contain
Pros:
"free" for translators (who, however, will not be able to use their own translation memories, and will generally not be able to download a bilingual file for work using their own CAT tool)
