I have been using Memsource exclusively for a year or so now. I used to use MemoQ, but my ageing Mac was slowed by it too much. Memsource has a Mac desktop version which makes things a lot easier for me.
To be honest, I don't find it quite as good as I did MemoQ but I think it is definitely on its way there, and frankly, the improved performance on my computer is so significant that I forgive it for any shortcomings.
Regarding the speed of the program, I use the desktop version and sometimes find there's a lag. I don't know if it's my computer or an issue with the server. It doesn't normally last too long and the vast majority of the time the connection is seamless.
As for companies who offer you work using a specific CAT tool, I find that attitude frustrating, especially when the one they want you to use is too restrictive for you to work as well as you normally would. However, Memsource is not one of those. As has already been mentioned, it can often come down to the PM not knowing how to use it and sending you some awful OCR conversion. I suppose the lesson there is to tell them you need them to send you a cleaner version![/quote]
