Pros	Maestra.ai (Katara Tech, Inc) No answers on this topic	Smartcat Segmentation. Translation overall quality. Customer service. Pricing. Incentivized Andre Dumoulin Translator Read full review
Cons	Maestra.ai (Katara Tech, Inc) No answers on this topic	Smartcat Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating. UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager. Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects. Dmitry Kornyukhov English-Russian Video Game Localization Specialist Read full review
