    We used the service for almost 2 years, initially the decision was very tight when comparing to similar providers. There are many services that can do similar functions to what Lokalise to, given the many providers existing, if I were to choose again I'd be looking for lower price and better cancellation policies, versus aggressive sales tactics that result in loss of trust for a couple bucks.

    It's effective for translating technical content, but there are faster, more intuitive, and visually cleaner tools that are out there. It's a bit clunky and requires too many different steps for different things in my opinion.

    Cons
    Lokalise
    • Refund policy is unfortunately non existent, charging 11 months extra than use
    • Integration got broken and cascaded the failure to the deployment pipeline
    • Interface can be confusing and slow at times

    • Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
    • No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
    • Confusing interface
    • Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.

    Lokalise is definitely one of the best tools on the market

    It's the slowest of them all and the design/interface/usability is a little 1990. I also don't feel as confident that it will save my work to the cloud like the others do, because it has logged me out suddenly and didn't save the last strings I had worked on, even if I had committed them and saved them.

    • Positive: Helps with content consistency (using the same terms/phrase matches throughout the years)
    • Positive: Good glossary building for repeated, technical terms and names
    • Negative: I feel it slows work down rather than speeding it up, which is the idea behind using a CAT tool
