July 25, 2022 4.0 GlobalLink is generally a good CAT tool, with many useful features to help users manage and complete projects quickly, minimizing errors. However, it still doesn't really have a breakthrough or special than other CAT tools. Pros I have used many CAT tools, both offline and online, they are often quite similar. GlobalLink has the outstanding feature of being easy to use, with a user-friendly interface, very rarely errors in the working process. Allows users to access the project on any device, even those without strong configuration. Project management is also extremely easy, the project manager and every translator involved can track the completed steps in real time. GlobalLink helps the exchange of information take place quickly so that the project can be completed more smoothly and faster. Cons Sometimes when I have to use GlobalLink to translate projects larger than 6000 words, the platform slows down, sometimes it takes a long time to save the translation, it needs to be refreshed many times to be able to use it smoothly. But these are also rare cases, most of the time the platform runs stable. However, GlobalLink doesn't really stand out from other CAT tools, so the higher price tag doesn't make sense.

Manager, Brand Marketing and Communications Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Expanding partnership" April 16, 2025 4.0 Has been an amazing experience overall and looking forward to expanding partnership and how we can optimize localization. Pros Customer Service, ease of use, and translation quality. The portal makes project management a breeze. Cons Product confusion. A lot of products under one umbrella. Takes a bit to understand all the different products. Switched from [Alexa](https://www.capterra.com/p/168725/Alexa-Marketing-Stack/) Pricing and relationship made us make the jump. Review Source KC Kevin C. Manager, Learning Technology Hospitality Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "GlobalLink Next 2025 Chicago. " April 16, 2025 3.0 I’ve enjoyed the conference overall. I do think some of the breakouts needed to have audio for the presenters . Some were to soft spoken. Pros I enjoyed the keynote session on day 1 with Seth. He point about trusting myself hit home. Cons I wish there was more about how to use the product in the learning space. There were a couple of examples, but felt it was lacking. Review Source DM David M. Head of Emerging Makrets Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy with gl next" April 15, 2025 5.0 Pros Breakout sessions were great and very relatable to see how different verticals handle this work Cons Need more information and sessions focused on my vertical, financial services Alternatives considered [Lionbridge Language Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/213500/Lionbridge/) Reason for choosing GlobalLink Experience in the financial services information Review Source CM Carla M. Manager, Media Team Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GlobalLink has really delivered for translations" April 16, 2025 4.0 Overall pleased with translations and our customer support (Mara). Bit frustrated at the technical issues that pop up and getting them resolved, but issue is not always on GL's side. Pros Width and breadth of offerrings and support. Many options I plan to look at for potential future implementation, specifically around media. Cons Our implementation in getting our Adobe AEM Guides connector up and running took over 9 months. I think it was a combination of Adobe, Zebra, and GL issues. Would like the invoicing portal to have more sortable options for finding content. With multiple business units using it, it needs filtering to be more effective. Review Source AM Abby M. Sr. Manager Culture and Engagement Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective tools" April 16, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great. The team that introduced me to it, the overview materials, the templates provided to share out translation phone line instructions, and the sheer quantity of languages offered is off the charts. My end users across the company have been very pleased! Pros Easy to implement, cost effective, user friendly. I appreciated how easy it was to get set up and how easy it is to add new users. Cons It does appear a bit outdated in look and feel / it is not modern in layout and navigation Review Source nJ nina J. product manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "happy with the service as a client" April 15, 2025 5.0 Globallink has been a very reliable partner, and we appreciate having you for our projects and product innovation Pros High-tech, reliable services.

Executive Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Executive Director " April 15, 2025 5.0 Great!! Overall you can tell the team puts a lot of work into the events. Pros Networking and the gifts. It was great to meet with partners you constantly work with. Cons Long events. Maybe reducing the time of the events. Some had alot of talking Review Source MH Michael H. Localization Project Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Idiosyncratic solutions with GL." April 16, 2025 5.0 Positive. It helps us meet our goals -- especially scaling solutions. Negative -- the poor UI slow things down. The entry obstacle for users is too high. Pros The ability to develop idiosyncratic solutions for the workflow we have. And, when needed, we usually get help to do so. Cons The company and the tool simply isn't that great on UX. Some of the ideas I share with them are things they have never even thought about. Please hire more UX people. Review Source TS Teresa S. Product Owner Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Translation Product" April 15, 2025 5.0 Pros I enjoy the partnership. The team is very easy to work with. They are attentive and accomodating to our needs Cons I do not learn about products unless I come to the Globallink next. We have asked for mor frequent updates but have not been able to get them yet Review Source GK Georg K. Globalization Technology Manager Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A platform for collaborative translation" February 24, 2020 4.0 You can tell that GlobalLink was designed and built by practitioners and honed and fine tuned by a large organization for its daily usage. Some of the features may be optimized for an LSP organization that are not as valuable or fitting for a buyer with a different supply chain structure. Working with TDC in improving the product was a great privilege. Pros GlobalLink is a powerful translation management system that breaks down most data and process silos to allow a complex supply chain to share data and collaborate in real time. Translators can work in a fully-featured browser-based translation editor. They have their translations of sentences and glossary terms at their fingertips. Concordance search against a 50 million words sequence of translation memories is lightning fast. Translators can share terminology suggestions in real time or kick off a workflow that routes their linguistic query directly from the translation environment to the person who answers back to the translation environment. Translators ask many questions, they are an indicator of translators being engaged and a direct predictor of translation quality. The above features drive quality and productivity and enable an organization to practice agile development and delivery of global content in a sustainable manner. Cons There are a few bits and pieces missing: - a supply chain model that is built up from the ground to fully enable LSPs to manage their user accounts; - electronic workflows need to be fully dynamic, allowing PMs to add or remove select workflows even in an ongoing submission; - to ensure fair payment to translators who collaborate on a submission, after-the fact analysis of word count is needed to determine which translator translated a sentence and which translator benefited from this translation in a repeated instance. - the built-in linguistic checks need to accommodate variances across target languages (e.g., white space needed before a colon in French, but not in German). - the integration with the DQF needs to also capture quality metrics. It currently only captures productivity metrics. Sending data to the DQF is valuable to compare oneself to other organizations in the industry. - Many admin features are not exposed to the buyer. For example, it would be useful for the buyer to be able to configure the MT integration. Reason for choosing GlobalLink An appealing set of integrated apps that held the promise to realize the idea of a collaborative translation environment. Review Source EZ Erica Z. Associate Director, Operations Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Team Partners using GlobalLink" July 21, 2020 4.0 I am the individual who introduced this tool to our team a few years ago and it genuinely revolutionized the way we were working - passing endless numbers of files back and forth via email, struggling with edition control, progress, and coverage. Now that we have it, I couldn't go back, and am looking forward to future improvements so it grows with its clients' sizes and scopes. Pros The concept of this software is fantastic - it has all of the bare bones of what has changed the way we function with translations. It's intuitive and we've customized it to support our ways of working. I like the communication field and the ability to approve quotes as it centralizes comms and makes it easy for us to manage projects across different service team members. Cons I think it could be taken to the next level with some enhancements that are still in the pipeline. The team is very open to feedback and suggestions, which is great, but I don't find the tool very scalable for large projects or information-sharing. Things like being able to duplicate projects or build in multiple project timelines could help with project management. Review Source VG Vinay G. Vice President Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Content Translations made easy " June 26, 2024 4.0 Overall, the experience with GlobalLink has been great. We can now get translations with a click of a button and users have more control over the entire processes/workflows. Pros \- Ability to translate content for the web content - Integration with existing CMS systems - Business users' self service capability Cons \- Working through the APIs to integrate internal systems Review Source NS Nivejeetha S. Senior Integration Engineer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Translation Review" June 25, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to Implement and Track, monitor the translation fed sent and received on periodic basic. Cons Tapestry uses Translation management,with high quality delivered but the time takes to receive the translation back is time consuming. It takes 3-4 business days to get the translations back.Sometimes exceed the contract price. Review Source CH Cara H. Consumer Marketing Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An efficient service" October 16, 2024 5.0 Very good overall. The use of technology in translation has made the process very fluid and easy. Pros The responsiveness and precision of the replies from \[sensitive content hidden\]. He was very helpful in setting me up in the system, and on the Delonghi account. I was impressed with the review system and the review management. Cons On initial setup of the reviews, it appeared that the reviewers were not sent an email nofitication. This was small thing though and easily remedied. One comment - we translate recipes for global markets, and our challenge is in localising the ingredients to suit cultural and local needs. For instance, flours and sugars vary widely from country to country. For this it is essential to have a human translator in the process.

Vice President, Global Business Analytics and Operations Support Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Product by a Professional and Attentive Company" August 4, 2020 5.0 TransPerfect has quickly shown to be a valuable partner. Their advice and guidance is as objective as you can get from a vendor, and we value their consultation. It helps to have IT resources or an IT partner that has integrated with GlobalLink before. Our set-up was quite fast and painless. We did not experience any integration issues and were up and running without bumps. Pros The product integrates very well with our CMS and allows us to reduce the overall time from translation, translation reviews and pushing updates to our CMS for final UAT. The ability for our reviewers to collaborate in the portal along with the translators and make updates in a single source while being able to view a preview of the translated content is an optimal workflow. Cons I have not used the software. I selected and facilitated the purchase for our Marketing and Digital Teams. All of the feedback has been very positive. We have used other translation agencies in the past, and TransPerfect and the GlobalLink solution have been seen as a vast improvement. No complaints so far. Review Source DM Daniel M.
