Recensioni su Protemos

Linguaemundi Protemos Review

Commenti: Our overall experience with Protemos has been very positive and we have used it to make PM work easier, coordinate our inhouse translator team better, enforce quality processes through the checklists feature, share, categorize and collect information through the use of tags and have an overall view of the company through the reports.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use and deployment as well as the functionalities like Tags are all great points but if I had to pick one thing it would be the unbeatable quality of the customer support. The team are always there to lend a helping hand and help us overcome any challenges and are incredibly open to improvement suggestions from us as clients and new feature requests. Hurray for the Protemos team :)

Aspetti negativi:

The fact that it does not show wordcounts in the project or job overviews.

discover legal enjoys working with Protemos

Commenti: We are a small specialised language service provider and have been working with Protemos für several years. The software perfectly fits our needs, although we do not use all features. For instance, we do not use automated emails, as we prefer to communicate directly and personally with our clients and translators. Otherwise we do all our project management with Protemos and are highly satisfied. We also find the report functions very useful for analysing our business performance and client structure. The team is extremely helpful and eager to fulfil any requirements or answer any question we may have. Thanks to you all!

Aspetti positivi:

The service and approachability of the team.

Aspetti negativi:

There are a couple of features in Protemos we were unable to adjust to fit our previous procedures. However, this is a problem, we would have presumably had with any project management software.

Protemos helps us to save a significant amount of time in our project management process.

Aspetti positivi:

I like most about Protemos, that it is free for our suppliers, so we can work with as many people as we need to and do not need to buy licenses. I also like a lot, that it is very user-friendly and intuitive. Furthermore, it is really easy and quick to implement it and set it up.

Aspetti negativi:

I would like the integration with Smartcat to be deeper. Another thing is, that you have to enter the primary user and cannot select him as contact person for the projects and therefore need to enter the same person again as contact person.

Review of Protemos Workflow Management Software

Commenti: My experience with Protemos has been very positive.

Aspetti positivi:

1. It's easy to use and easy to learn for both our company and our vendors, 2. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly; they respond quickly to all queries, 3. It's very affordable.

Aspetti negativi:

1. No way to track client sources, 2. Main contact does not get added automatically to contact list, making it necessary to perform a step twice.

It is the perfect solution for us

Aspetti positivi:

It has everything a translations company needs!

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing... it is just perfect! Great job, team!

Robust and useful tool

Commenti: Protemos helps us to solve translation project management problems. They have very fast and quick support as well.

Aspetti positivi:

This tool is very easy to use. The interface in minimalism style, no unnecessary functions, and no distracting things but quick performance make the work in this tool fast, focused, and effective.

Aspetti negativi:

I can't find any cons now to post. It covers all our needs.

Simple, intuitive and powerful accounting system

Commenti: Easy and intuitive process of accounting on translation projects

Aspetti positivi:

It's powerful enough to cover all our accounting needs, yet is simple and intuitive both for managers and freelancers. The system is constantly improved and development team is very sensitive to our custom needs.

Aspetti negativi:

We still lack some functionality - some routine processes could be further automated, however the system is constantly improved and developers do listen to our queries.

Excellent Translation Management System we've been looking for years

Commenti: Most important this TMS helped us put everything in order. We are now able to see every financial data that seemed to be vague or hidden from our eyes before.

Aspetti positivi:

1. Ease of use - very intuitive. No special training is required. 2. Excellent performance and availability. 3. Highly responsive support team.

Aspetti negativi:

Some features are not readily available, however developers listening to users and integrating them as required.

Easily get a glimpse on the company's finances & relevant marketing data

Aspetti positivi:

With Protemos' reporting features, I can easily keep track of the incoming projects, revenue for the month, and other useful data to implement meaningful sales & marketing initiatives. Good customer support is also a plus.

Aspetti negativi:

Multiquotes for the same project make it hard to measure accurate conversion rates from protemos.

Easily one of the best project management tools for freelance translators

Commenti: Protemos is a free tool that knows how to tackle the common project management pitfalls of freelance translators. We're extremely happy with the product and can't wait to see where the team will take it.

Aspetti positivi:

This tool was clearly designed by someone who is passionate about project management and know real pains of freelance translators. Clean design makes using this tool a breeze.

Aspetti negativi:

The tool could benefit from integrating with 3rd party API, for example would be great to use Stripe to accept payments for invoices that Protemos creates.

Nice accounting tool for freelancers

Commenti: Protemos is great to accommodate freelancing work. Simple, efficient, easy to use. It is doing what we need. They are becoming larger now, to accommodate agencies. Let's hope they don't become too large for freelancers...

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to navigate, stable data handling, multiple useful options for small businesses dealing with international clients (currencies, etc.), basic project management tool, clear invoice list with what's coming at term what is overdue, clear project list, easy to manage.

Aspetti negativi:

The way the client's contact info is displayed, it's not following the north american setting I am use to. There is no option to end payment fees in the payment received. The reports need more work as well, to be able to get a detailed report for tax income purpose. The report doesn't allow to see notes or comments, which is where we must enter payment fees at this time. Their invoice is not really configurable. The filters by date doesn't work very well when we want to see the money coming in within the next weeks, for instance. The contact info addition in a cient's file is also a bit awkward, we often need to reenter the contact of an individual, even though it already exist as main contact (no drop down for existing name).

Powerful and user-friendly TMS

Commenti: better workflow management, improved payment cycle, eye-bird view of my business

Aspetti positivi:

Protemos is undoubtedly the most user-friendly Translation Management System (TMS) on the market today. Not only does it cater the needs of small or mid-size LSPs, it is also perfectly suitable for freelance translators who are in need of a capable TMS for project management and accounting. The development cycle of the platform is fast and the Customer Support team is super responsive. Protemos has become a must-have tool in my from-quote-to-invoice workflow. Highly recommended!

Aspetti negativi:

I hope the platform would be localized into French. Also, I wish for a more flexible template customization.

Clean, simple TMS for CAT tool-independent service providers

Commenti: Protemos is perfect for us. We much prefer it to other systems that are tied with a specific CAT tool, and it's much simpler to use than some of the more complex TMS solutions out there.

Aspetti positivi:

System is flexible, simple to use and often updated with useful functions Support Team is extremely responsive and helpful Flexible for agencies who work with several CAT tools

Aspetti negativi:

Custom notification settings would be nice. At this time, it is not clear who gets notified of changes in quotes, projects, finances, etc. and when these notifications occur.

Ideal for a freelance translator

Aspetti positivi:

All the features that a freelance translator needs in terms of project and finance management. Make an app or a convenient smartphone version and you will be the best.

Aspetti negativi:

Only good for big screens and laptops. Missing a good version for smartphones and tablets.

A must have

Commenti: I work for several different clients who all have their own way of working and their own deadlines. Until I started using Protemos, I had a lot of problems keeping on top of everything. Now I know who sends me work, who sends me the most work, who pays the most, who pays on time and when my deadlines are. It has been a godsend and has helped make me more productive.

Aspetti positivi:

I like how it helps me keep on top of my workflow and helps me make sure I never forget a client, never miss a deadline and, importantly, never lose an invoice.

Aspetti negativi:

I can't think of anything. It is free and fully functioning.

Why we at Ludejo work with Protemos

Commenti: We are very happy with Protemos because:
- we keep overview over all our projects, files.
- the software supports transferability of tasks when a co-worker has a day off.
- Protemos gives a daily and monthly monetairy overview of the projects in a logically divided way, which is for a leader good data to manage the company and drive it into the wanted direction.

Aspetti positivi:

- the excellent communicative skills of the contact persons at Protemos. - the intuitive way Protemos is shaped. - onboarding new staff is very easy, as Protemos isn't hard to learn to use, while at the same time the software is extended enough for our business. - we don't get all kinds of heavy stuff we would never use. - the responsiveness when it comes to needs we have expressed to the Protemos-team (and the speed they implemented the features to fulfill those needs).

Aspetti negativi:

- in the beginning, when we started to work with Protemos (2017), there were some features we didn't have, which we did need.

Protemos review

Commenti: I am very satisfied with using Protemos. Even a free version for freelancers has everything required for managing projects and invoicing.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like about this software is: 1) Integration with Proz; 2) Export of information to Excel spreadsheets; 3) Customer-friendly interface; 4) Availability of versions localized to other languages.

Aspetti negativi:

What I like the least is the necessity to insert e-mail addresses of new clients, which is not very convenient as I am concerned that the software will be bothering them by sending anything.

Fast, easy to use, and amazing support

Commenti: They stand behind this product. Great customer support! From day one easy to use and deploy and the platform has just gotten better with each feature release.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy collaboration with vendors Great reporting on financials Strong integration with CAT tools reduces double work Easy to deploy and maintain

Aspetti negativi:

Would like QuickBooks online integration(which I believe may be coming soon)

Perfect instrument for freelancers

Commenti: Saving time for bookkeeping

Aspetti positivi:

Receivables cloning and a lot of other functions

Aspetti negativi:

New releases have got more complicated than older ones

Does everything we need to handle daily business

Aspetti positivi:

Simplicity, comprehensiveness, quick support response, open to new ideas and features, quick development

Aspetti negativi:

(deep) memoQ integration lacking being this our main tool. Double tasking in Protemos and memoQ does add up to quite a lot of time creating and recreating a project

Project management and invoicing with Protemos

Commenti: My admin and invoicing system used to be a bit of a headache, Protemos makes it easier to find things and it is quicker to do the invoicing.

Aspetti positivi:

It is easy to use and since it is online, I can access it from any device that is connected to the internet.

Aspetti negativi:

I find the invoicing and reporting functions a bit awkward to use at times, my clients want their invoices done in different ways and it would be nice to be able to customize the invoices more.

It is the perfect tool for managing our translation company.

Aspetti positivi:

The best thing about Protemos is that it is so easy to use, and at the same time, gives you the confidence that it is meeting all management requirements with the maximum quality guarantee with regard to time limits, financial information, data bases, etc.

Aspetti negativi:

The financial information model is not fully adapted to taxes in Spain, but Protemos´ support team is working to solve this :)

Best Translation Management

Commenti: I had a good experience with Protemos. I like it.

Aspetti positivi:

It is clear and easy software and cloud-based. All in One actually.

Aspetti negativi:

By developing the features of the financial reports, I think it becomes unique.

Overall, it´s a great system that fulfills all my management needs.

Commenti: All my management needs are fulfilled at a very competitive pricing!

Aspetti positivi:

It is a very intuitive and easy-to-use system with all the functions I need to manage my daily projects. Whether it´s project or job creation, invoicing, statistics, etc. the system has it all. The support team is very proactive and efficient and, on on top of that, it has a very affordable price!

Aspetti negativi:

There´s really nothing to point out on what I like least about this software, except for the fact that I have some issues when importing a CAT log file from Studio, but this has to do with the version I use and this will be sorted out in the next versions.

Easy life

This cloud-based software allow me to work virtually everywhere. I can monitor all my projects, record new ones, issue invoices and control my cash flow and payments in one single easy-to-use platform.

No comments about this software. I don't have any negative feedback.
