I like the centralized access to projects and drawings offered by Autodesk Forma, which makes collaboration easy and ensures reliable version control, all within a single platform. The initial setup was relatively straightforward for our team, especially since we were already familiar with Autodesk Construction Cloud. I use it along with tools like AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit to create, review, and coordinate drawings across different stages of the project. I also appreciate how it solves the problem of scattered project data and poor collaboration by providing a centralized platform for managing projects and team communication. I would rate Autodesk Forma as a 10 out of 10 for its strong project collaboration and centralized data management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement in Autodesk Forma is its lack of offline access, as it requires a stable internet connection to view and manage projects. I know this can be achieved with Desktop Connector, but the system tends to slow down when Autodesk Desktop Connector is installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use the issues module a lot because it helps track all the changes of the project and manage the change situation. It allows me to create reports to see which issues affect our process safety management. With so many people working on each project, it is helpful to have all changes in one place, so they can be sorted and evaluated independently and together, ensuring they don't conflict.

I think if we had the ability to edit a PDF, like, if a PDF is uploaded to Forma, and have two people editing the PDF at the same time, that would be very helpful. It works fine for DWG's but to have that functionality on PDFs would also be helpful. Another thing we'd like is if we could show both people in a Microsoft Word or Excel document at the same time, similar to how Microsoft Office 365 does it, that would be helpful. We'd use it more if we were able to give read only guest access to our contractors *for free*. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Facilitated sharing and visualization of models with stakeholders not working on Revit. Visual and automatic conflict management with the Model Coordination Module. Project administration with the invitation of external stakeholders to the company. The ability to choose which views are published and their content, to publish with or without a link. It would also be beneficial to be able to configure publications more easily than by going through sheet sets, then publication sets. As well as to define by default the publication with or without a link. Issues are easy to create and their navigation is smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is necessary to have an AEC license + a BIM Collaborate PRO license to resume collaborative model functioning, which seems to me the most interesting asset on Autodesk Forma. The choice of a specific folder for Coordination Spaces is somewhat limiting since it is impossible to change without recreating it. The deletion of elements remains a problem for the moment, even though it is planned in the Roadmap. Many applications are necessary and need updating, for example, Desktop Connector. Management of georeferencing is not flexible (impossible to publish coordinates), its modification involves downloading the models, modifying them, and publishing them again. For Conflict management in the Model Coordination module, a model that is not georeferenced initially and then georeferenced later sometimes fails to display conflicts in color code. Better integration of point clouds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like all the features with AI capabilities in Autodesk Forma. Having everything on one platform, including design collaboration, design build, and the capability to work on RFIs in a single environment, is a great experience. It's also awesome to create site locations and view them on a 3D map, which can be achieved on the Forma side. The AI capabilities offer more options at the initial design stage, providing wide-ranging design and cost calculations, height restrictions, and setbacks on real 3D maps. These features help me make informed decisions and project the values and costs effectively. It's convenient to handle design build and coordination with ease.

Autodesk Forma still needs some improvements. I’d like more control over which features are enabled, especially within ACC—for example, the ability to turn off certain elements if we’re not using Fusion. The Desktop Connector also needs work, because trying to manage it through ACC isn’t very straightforward when you don’t want to log into other sites like Fusion. Also, our engineering team isn’t using Revit, and the cost of ACC Forma should be waived for the Site and Design collaboration online tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we like most about Forma is how easy it is to use, and how straightforward it has been to implement across the company. Our primary focus was supporting VDC/BIM, and having the ability to upload a variety of project models so we can better support the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, the least helpful part has been using Build and not being able to view project information in the mobile app. We’ve worked around it by using a form to display that information, but it would be much more convenient to have a dedicated Project Information tool or button.

easy access to documentation and its security, convenience of comparing drawing versions, ease of document versioning (version history)

integration of ACC with other software is troublesome - I never know if the documents available through Autodesk Desktop Connector are up-to-date

ACC works very smoothly, the smoothness of browsing PDFs is impressive, but the problem is the "zoom limit" on large drawings, sometimes it's impossible to examine the details of the drawings

I feel that ACC licenses are quite expensive for the AEC industry conditions in Poland

Support, instructional videos, and Autodesk University are very helpful in accessing knowledge about ACC, but sometimes I miss explanations of individual options within the platform itself

I haven't used AI within ACC yet, I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of possibilities the platform offers. I don't know what AI is supposed to be used for on ACC.

ACC is becoming too large and complex for me, without improving the basic functions that work better elsewhere - e.g., Dalux Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am very bothered by the lack of global monitoring of Issues across all the projects I have shared. I miss emails that would remind me of overdue issues.

I am bothered by the constant switching of platforms from BIM360 to ACC to form - this causes a lot of confusion and often AEC employees are not fond of technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Autodesk Forma allows me to use it as a common data environment with effective options for communication, collaboration, and project management. It's easy to track and format our documents, which helps avoid information duplication through versioning. I appreciate being able to define the privacy of each folder through easily manageable permissions on the platform, which is crucial since we handle sensitive information like budgets and contracts. I also like how it serves as a common data environment but with better tools for review and project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be good to be able to copy the types of reviews created from one project to another, since currently, if you create a review workflow in a project, it is impossible to copy it to another. This results in having to replicate them in all the projects you have ongoing, which takes time. Moreover, although for me, as a BIM Manager, the initial setup of Autodesk Forma is easy, for someone who is unfamiliar with the platform, they might not take full advantage of it.

I primarily use Autodesk Forma for file storage, as this is the easiest part to switch over. The tools from Forma, such as reviews, greatly help in making work more efficient. The use of Forma is location-independent and possible on various devices, which is one of the biggest advantages for me compared to conventional file storage and workflows. I particularly appreciate the ability to apply naming standards individually and to manage large user groups through the permission system. Communication and collaboration between the office and the construction site are significantly simplified, as everyone works on the same platform and the exchange of information is facilitated. The clean and clear file storage supported by naming standards and the ability to limit overly long file names are also advantageous. I have experienced collaboration in Plant3D as one of the greatest improvements. The simple initial setup of Autodesk Forma was also a plus, with various aids available to adapt internal workflows to the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The availability of various tools only in Data Management or only in Build often leads to confusion among users. For example, reviews can only be created and viewed in Data Management. However, if I am currently in Build because I needed photos, I can no longer find any reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Autodesk Construction Cloud is how it brings all stakeholders into one platform, so everyone is aligned and working on the same data.

From a construction perspective, it really helps in managing permissions, controlling access, and making sure the right people see the right information at the right time. That level of control and collaboration makes project management much more efficient and reduces miscommunication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Autodesk Construction Cloud is that some tools still have limitations, especially Forms.

The built-in form formatting is a bit restrictive, and there’s no multi-select option in dropdown lists, which can make data entry less flexible. There are also a few other small limitations that sometimes require workarounds instead of a smooth out-of-the-box experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Autodesk Forma is that it provides a complete and integrated environment for managing construction projects throughout the entire project lifecycle. It is a powerful and robust platform, with tools specifically designed to optimize management processes and aligned with international standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not identified any significant drawbacks. The platform is very comprehensive, so new users may need a short adaptation period, but once implemented, it delivers a very solid and efficient experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
