Linguaemundi Protemos Review

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.

PROS

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 :)

CONS

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

Reasons for switching to Protemos

The software was becoming outdated and buggy.

Nice accounting tool for freelancers

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...

PROS

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.

CONS

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).

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

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Why we at Ludejo work with Protemos

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.

PROS

- 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).

CONS

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

Clean, simple TMS for CAT tool-independent service providers

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.

PROS

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

CONS

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.

Powerful and user-friendly TMS

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

PROS

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!

CONS

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

Easy and intuitive process of accounting on translation projects

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

PROS

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.

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

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

PROS

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!

CONS

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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

Vendor Response

Dear Oksana, Thank you for your feedback. As for mobiles, about 1 year ago we reworked UI for mobiles: https://protemos.com/news/version-1.22-released.html. So currently it works much better on mobiles than at the time when you registered. Best regards, Volodymyr

It is a great tool not only for project managers in the translation industry, but also for in-house translators, accounting departments, managers and freelancers.

PROS

We value their short response times and support we are receiving throughout our daily work processes and we appreciate the constant upgrades and optimisations made to the tool itself.

A must have

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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

Protemos has been a very suitable solution for our needs!

Faster turnaround times while preparing the quotations and efficient vendor management.

PROS

The unique interface enables us to see projects, translators, clients and financials at once. Being able to find all these features in one place helps us to work efficiently. Our team has easily adopted to Protemos since it has a user friendly UI. Protemos team also provides excellent support and they are very responsive to our request for customizing the system in accordance with customers needs.

CONS

It would be better if we could customize some of the templates (e.g: quote, invoice) without contacting to the developers team.

Protemos review

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

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Easily one of the best project management tools for freelance translators

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Project management and invoicing with Protemos

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.
