Compare Boostlingo и Transifex

Benefits:

We love how functional and versatile the software is.

Drawbacks:

A big plus if we could manage through an app.

Our experience with Boostlingo has been smooth - they listen to our advice and they actually make changes in accordance. It allows us to save a lot of time and to operate professionally.

Boostlingo provides a comprehensive telephonic/onsite interpreting bundle that is unique in the current market. The web-based access allows our clients to be in control of their access at the level they want. Interpreters have their own accounts, where they can set up a profile for us to view. As an interpreting organization, we can set permissions, rates, and specialties. We have quick access to interpreter email addresses and phone numbers, and we can download a file of our interpreter's information. Telephonic service can be accessed by a mobile app, by accessing video/audio on a computer, or by dialing in to a phone number. Each avenue of connection allows our agency to gather important data, to ensure accurate invoicing for our accounts. As Boostlingo grows, their developers have allowed for a unique level of personalization for each calling account. Using the app and website, our accounts access ASL interpreters to help remain ADA compliant, and language access provides Title VI compliance. There is a fully integrated invoicing system built into their website, which can work in conjunction with QuickBooks. Personalization options allow us to use a domain that features our own logo and color scheme choice. Our organization has an account manager who listens intently to any feedback I have. Boostlingo has a support department that replies quickly, and resolves matters as quickly as possible, involving all necessary parties as needed. The development team is quick t

As Boostlingo grows, sometimes a glitch, or bug (as I call them - so that I can make sure they get squashed), is noted, we provide feedback to Boostlingo and a fix is implemented on a time table that corresponds to the gravity of the bug. With global level of changes and settings, smaller personalization is not always possible. For example, we can add our logo to the interpreter's printable form, but we cannot change the way the information prints or the size of the font it prints with. The digital signature, as it is currently, won't work for us, so we stick with printed forms. We struggle with account rates - it feels like it is too smart, so we are finding ways to work around it. Billing reports cannot be customized as much as we would like, especially to meet contractual obligations when invoicing. The biggest speed bump we found is the account set up must either be completed by Boost support or by someone at the account organization that is willing to set up access. We are struggling with set up in that manner, but, as is normal for our account manager, we have found work-arounds for this as well. This small inconvenience is annoying, but not a hindrance with system interaction.

Overall, Boostlingo has been an amazing company to work with. For every con, there are easily ten times as many pros to their service - most that I ran out of room to mention! The personal connection provides assurance that we are heard & that our organizational needs are important. Support provides quick solutions. Support has never made me feel bad about my bad habit of forgetting to hard refresh our browsers after an update. After being in the interpreting field since 2007, I have seen our area change and expand. Boostlingo is allowing our agency to become a commanding force within the market. With the assistance of our account manager & Boost's developer, I have been able to see changes I wish for become reality. Everyone hopes that their feedback is heard when it is provided; Boostlingo hears what is said, they evaluate what is said, and they implement aspects of what is said, which benefits all organizations using their platform. Take many of these cons I noted earlier as smaller, localized issues and not global level issues with all Boostlingo partners. I came to this organization and Boostlingo was sitting here, idle. No transition was planned; our account manager helped me understand the potential and supported us as we moved to Boostlingo. Then I ripped the band aid off, gave my team 5 days' notice, and we were live - now, I can't imagine going back to our previous system! The potential for massive growth has been presented to us with Boostlingo's system

Benefits:

I love the ability to call up different information for my varied needs. I love that interpreters can accept or decline shifts directly.

Drawbacks:

I wish there was a way we would email all of our interpreters at once through the system.

Summary:

Absolutely loving it!

Benefits:

This software was presented in a deceiving mode, we always clarified that if it didn't cover our needs we couldnt use it and they still charged us

Drawbacks:

Narrow minded people Functionality limited Never delivered what was promised during sales process

Summary:

Terrible, we felt cheated, robbed and betrayed

What i liked the most about transifex is how it can seamlessly integrate with any of our platform for integration, where other platforms failed at. We were using complex translations that includes right to left writing scripts and even languages that are quite tricky to translate including arabic, pashto, urdu, kurmanji and sourani, most of these language are near extinct and Transifex did handle these perfectly on our platforms.

Drawbacks:

The platform was sluggish beginning of 2015 now it's much seamless and fluid, really no cons in it so far, it's continuously improved.

As discribed with the most thing i loved about the platform, the communication and live work between the team members, as the platform can let you know who is working on what to prevent duplication and track good progress, and it does it in a beautiful way, even team members that were non tech were able to understand the UI/UX what it was trying to tell them (although my team was not even English proficient)

Well, it's definitely one of the best options around, the wide range of files supported, the very intuitive design, the fact that you can open as much open source projects as you like, the admin tools, everything is just working, pretty fast.

Lack of attention to small details, there are many loose ends, some small bugs that were not taken care of for the past few years, might need some improvement from the agile side, new features are pretty rare at least when you consider it from my workflow, all the interesting integration are pretty new, most other platforms had these kind of integrations for many years now, open source friendly yet not entirely open source, mobile interface is pretty bad, might need some additional care in terms of standard support.

It's great in terms of freely available translation platform, might be a little rough in the edges but will certainly fulfill every standard requirement for a vast amount of projects, especially web platforms, this is definitely my go to platform when I need to establish a new open source project.

Transifex has most features of other platforms like Phrase, Smartling, Lozalize, and Crowdin. It's interface is nice to look at. But boy is it SLOW. Clicking on something means I can go get my coffee and come back. This is true of the entire software, and it's maddening on every level. I try to use their command line tools so I don't have to use the interface, but even that is slow if you have a lot of files to work with. For instance, I push/pull source updates and translations using the CLI and it takes FOREVER.

Slowness, lack of improvements. The customer support will answer you quickly but all they will tell you is that what you want is not possible and it's on the roadmap. I've been using their software for a number of years -- I guarantee you everything you want is on the horizon but you'll never reach it.

Summary:

Disappointing. It's looks great and offers promise but the overall execution is not where it needs to be.

Benefits:

Great support. Fantastic TM engine. Intuitive user interface. Slack integration.

The main thing I dislike is that any word is counted as many times as there are languages for its project, even if it's not translated into some of them. That seriously affects our word limit.

Summary:

Happy to work with this tool.
