As you understand, there is a big difference between browser-based online CAT tools and desktop CAT tools with online TMs. Many translators (including yours truly) loathe the former but not necessarily the latter. Some desktop CAT tools (e.g. MemoQ) support online TMs natively, but even those that don't can be networked by placing the TM on a Webdav file server and mounting that Webdav folder on the local computer where the CAT tool is installed. However, in this case, there can only be one user working with a given TM at any given time.
Before deploying an online solution, it is important to test it for speed in the worst possible case: connect a remote computer to the server via a very slow channel (say, 0.2 Mbps) and see if the CAT tool will suffer from lags between segments.

Yes, for example I loath Wordbee, but Smartcat is a much better user experience. I seem to recall Memsource was more like Wordbee.
