Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using XTRF to handle our daily tasks, but let's just say it's not exactly winning any popularity contests around here. This thing is supposed to be our go-to for quotes, projects, vendor management, and invoicing. Frankly, I feel like it's been more of a headache than a help. In my opinion, it's the necessary evil in our LSP toolkit, but we wouldn't exactly throw a party in its honor.

Return on Investment

In my opinion, the limitations in functionality, especially with smart projects and integrations with tools like memoQ, have hindered the full realization of its potential.
