"Streamlined Collaboration with a Steep Learning Curve"
4/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I like the interface and ease of use for users. Data Management, formerly Autodesk Docs, has been the best solution to share, view, and review files, models, and drawings. I appreciate its ease of use for managing and updating versions to folder structures. The integration with Microsoft SharePoint for document management and reviews is also a strength.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

The administrator interface and setup of projects can be quite confusing. It doesn't suit Alliance model contracts where you need multiple stakeholders using one central CDE and multiple account types for individuals. Also, the initial setup took more time than other products and the interface is confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works Well Overall—An Industry Standard for Connecting with Partners"
5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

It works well overall, and it’s an industry standard that helps me connect with partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

When you open Revit and go to Autodesk Docs, you see a list of all the accounts you have access to, and many of them show 0 projects. Depending on which version of Revit you’re using, those accounts with 0 projects should be filtered out of the list. As a Bim manager i have accès to alot of project and it became a long list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wonderful product that is great for collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

ACC makes it easy for different project teams to coordinate and review models and documents for a specific project. I enjoy being able to view and link client models directly to my own from the project folders, without having to send models back and forth or worry about whether everyone is looking at the latest version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

Not everyone is using it. I wish all of my projects would be taking advantage of the coodination capabilities of ACC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Tool That Keeps All Project Information Organized in One Place"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

The versatility of this tool and its ability to compile all my information in one place—whether it’s internal, from a subtrade, or from the project owner—are what I value most. Having everything in one place makes it much easier to stay organized and keep track of what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I would like to see the Site Instructions as a section of build as there is no defined place to submit, respond, or action them.

I also think the "sheets" section needs a but of work as it is a bit clunky and not easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"How's Forma Shaping Our Design Workflow"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I used to spend days exploring site options. With Forma, I generate and analyze dozens of design alternatives in hours — wind, daylight, carbon, all at once. It's not just faster; it genuinely makes me a better architect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

Forma is powerful, but the learning curve caught me off guard. Every time I get comfortable, an update reshuffles the interface. And when my internet lags? The whole cloud-based workflow grinds to a halt. For a tool this ambitious, offline mode feels long overdue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Collaboration, Some Stability Issues"
4/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I like Autodesk Forma for its hosted central models, where other disciplines can access, link, and publish updated versions. The model coordination throughout the lifecycle of the project is really helpful because it avoids clashes early on and allows for faster, more efficient collaboration. The initial setup was simple enough for our use case, which made getting started easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

We tried using a cloud-hosted central model for our detail library, and it used to work and sometimes still does, but a lot of the time it will crash Revit when trying to insert view from file from ACC. When inserting views from file via a hosted central model on ACC, it will get to a point in loading the different views like a 70% progress bar, and then freeze up. The only way to get out of it is to force close Revit, potentially losing any unsaved work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Project Management with Intuitive Asset Tracking"
4/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I like the use of Assets in Autodesk Forma, as it helps with finding different items important for the project and organizing them on a sheet for field ease. Integrating Sphere XG with Autodesk Forma to track onsite progress and create RFIs is also useful. Adding a Sphere XG card within Insight has been beneficial. The Learning Center videos were very useful when I first started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

When on the welcome page where you see all the projects, rather than searching for the job, I wish there was a way to favorite a project so it would be on top rather than using the search bar or scrolling down to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Collaboration with Easy Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I find Autodesk Forma incredibly helpful because it serves as the single source of truth on my projects, connecting all documents, issues, and models seamlessly. I like that it centralizes where all of our information lives, making it easier to manage everything in one place. The cloud coordination models are a real highlight, as they help my team effectively work together. I appreciate being able to create, save, and share views of the models, which enables my company to collaborate efficiently while running 3D coordination and clash detection. The initial setup was easy, and though adjusting workflows was a challenge, the platform itself was user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

The filters on Forma could be more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionized Project Collaboration and Document Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I like that Autodesk Forma provides a great platform to store our project drawings and documents in a common environment where contractors can also access the same files we are working on, breaking down the silos and allowing engineers to collaborate effectively with contractors and fab shops regarding design drawings. I appreciate being able to control the levels of access the members have on each folder, as this helps prevent things from being deleted accidentally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

There could be an easier way to link between Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Vault. A huge improvement would be to carry the metadata from Vault into Forma. I'd like a seamless way to see drawing descriptions and other attributes in our borders to be visible in Forma. It's difficult the way I have to create templates to capture the border attributes. It doesn't seem to always work the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Project Management, User-Friendly Interface"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I use Autodesk Forma as a Construction Project Executive, tracking and managing multiple projects. I really appreciate how easy it is to use, which streamlines administrative processes, saving me a lot of time when we're busy. I find it incredibly helpful that the information gets standardized between projects—this makes it simple for other team members to jump in, share information, and documents. I also value how quickly I can get information on projects, concerning status, scheduling, and cost reporting, which is vital for my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)?

I'm still learning some of the ways to further customize and fine-tune the software, but that may just be my own limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
