G2 review summary, 2024
Vendor restrictions create business dependency
Smartling packages their translation services with their platform technology. You can’t negotiate better rates or find specialists for your content type. You’re locked into their pricing and timelines. XTM Cloud connects with any translation company. This gives you choice and negotiating strength.
Proxy hosting removes content ownership
Smartling keeps your localised content on their proxy servers. You don’t truly control your translated websites and applications. This creates security concerns, limits how you can customise things and makes advanced integrations nearly impossible. XTM Cloud returns full content ownership to you.

Basic AI that doesn’t address real workflow problems
Smartling’s AI features focus on machine translation quality without tackling workflow bottlenecks or quality assurance challenges. XTM Cloud’s AI works throughout your entire translation operation. It handles risk detection, quality scoring and routing decisions automatically.
Cloud-only deployment blocks regulated industries
Smartling only provides hosted software as a service. This doesn’t work for companies in regulated sectors or those with strict data location requirements. XTM Cloud’s deployment flexibility meets any compliance standard you face.
