I like the simplicity of Autodesk Forma; it's very easy for me to navigate around and not get lost. I really like how I can preview drawings and PDFs without having to download or open them all up in Bluebeam or Civil 3D. This feature helps me be more efficient at work by getting to the objective quicker without doing all the excess downloading. The initial setup was very easy as well.

When previewing some DWG files in Autodesk Forma, they don't match well with the background of the screen and are tough to look at. It also doesn't work as well as using AutoCAD to make changes to drawings. The contrast between the drawing and the background is the same color, so you can't identify the drawing clearly.

Today, I am using Autodesk Forma to track all the construction projects of the group. It allows for a pleasant continuity of information for users. I particularly like the design part for models, it's a game changer. The management and coordination of BIM models work very well, and the asset tracking is a good feature. With Autodesk Forma, it is possible to link model data with scheduling and progress tracking, which allows for numerous use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the docs module is not yet the true single source of data, there are gaps. We cannot extract everything. This limits the continuity of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it connects with other autodesk products easily and it is quite organized. I'm able to send large amounts of RFIs, submittals, without having to keep track of emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish it was a little faster, sometimes it takes quite a long time to load sheets, issues, etc. I wish meetings were more customizable and I wish there were ways to delete specs and modify systems more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Autodesk Forma is how it brings together all the tools for sharing information in one platform, and how it’s tailored to the way information flows across the network of members involved in a design/construction project.

I work mostly in the Data Management Tool, but when ocasionally i have the need to use the Model Coordination tool, it has been really usefull. The set up is simple enough but sometimes can have trouble reading some models that are not cloud workshared. Also, the Filters feature make it easy to group clashes of the same kind, overall is a really big improvement from having to do this in Navisworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in Autodesk Forma on a daily basis, specifically in the Data Management tool. One issue I commonly run into is that I can’t copy entire folders. Sometimes I need to duplicate large sets of documents, but I have to do it manually because Forma’s Copy feature only works for single documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the functionality and features of Autodesk Forma. It's great that everything is all in one place, which is super handy for completing projects in the field without needing to switch between different products. It's all in one app, which is exactly what we need during the construction process. The way our projects are set up allows us to access all the information we need for every single asset, which sometimes includes over 10,000 assets, each with its own supporting documentation, tracking, issue management, photos, diagrams, and drawings, all in one product. It's very, very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iPad apps tend to be a bit buggy, and some functions never feel finished. This can cause problems in the field, especially for users who aren't comfortable with the systems. And often, if the user interfaces don't look or work right, it leads to frustration, causing them to stop using the app. There seem to be more bugs than expected for this level of product, which is disappointing at times. We also face straight-up errors where things won't load, and there have been server issues where everyone gets kicked out. Additionally, worldwide outages of Amazon affect Forma. There's a difference in UI between the web interface and the app, like different font appearances, which affects consistency. Specifically, when placing assets on a sheet, the border thickness varies between the computer and the iPad, leading to a messy look. Permissions are confusing and not always clear, making it hard to understand what each person has access to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Autodesk Forma on a day-to-day basis for managing our construction projects, and it's a one-stop solution for me. I like how I can sort all my drawings on the platform and add the necessary subcontractors to the appropriate modules. The functionality of Autospecs for creating a submittal log is also a big plus. The ease of setting it up with the help of Autodesk's documentation was great, and the software itself is really user-friendly. I would always recommend it to a company working in construction, and I would rate it a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We currently are not using Cost Management on Forma, so we really have to go to another platform for Cost Management. I would like to see how Forma could help GC companies in utilizing Cost Management in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of the app once you get to know it. It takes some time to learn the ecosystems of Autodesk Forma, but once you do, it becomes very easy to navigate and find exactly what you're looking for. I appreciate how the app and web version are completely different, yet you can interact with both very easily. The app also stores data locally until you have a connection and then all the devices have access to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When purchasing Forma it would be great to have a couple of hours of training at least for the basics vs having to figure it out ourselves. Forms can be saved directly to files at the moment without needing to go through multiple steps which defeats the purpose of Forma. Forma is supposed to be easier to use, NOT create more work. The initial setup was also very challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real-time environmental analysis

You can test design options and immediately see their impact—this helps make smarter decisions early, which is where most project value is created.

Fast iteration without heavy modeling

You don’t need a fully detailed BIM model to start evaluating ideas. It’s quick, conceptual, and still meaningful.

Seamless integration with tools like Autodesk Revit

You can move from concept to detailed design smoothly without losing data.

Cloud collaboration

Teams can access and review the same model anytime, which is crucial for coordination across departments (especially relevant for PMC-style workflows like yours). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

. Limited depth compared to full BIM tools

Forma is excellent in early stages, but it can feel shallow when you need detailed control. You still have to move into tools like Autodesk Revit for serious design development, which creates a break in workflow.

2. Integration isn’t always seamless

While it connects with the Autodesk Construction Cloud ecosystem, the data handover isn’t always as smooth as expected. Some information may need cleanup or rework when transitioning between platforms.

3. Limited customization and control

Compared to traditional design workflows, you don’t have full flexibility in defining parameters or running highly specific analyses. Advanced users might feel constrained.

4. Performance depends heavily on internet quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Autodesk Forma's ease of use. It's a single source of truth and acts as a collaboration space, which is incredibly convenient. I like the multiple tools available, along with the different access levels and permission settings. The availability of various add-ons like boards, correspondence, and meetings is a plus, and I find it valuable that everything is kept within one location. It eliminates the need to switch between multiple platforms, as Forma covers all the different applications our project needs. For correspondence, Autodesk Forma makes it easy to keep all project emails and information in one place by using correspondence as the project's email address. The meetings feature is useful too, allowing for easy scheduling, agenda setting, and sending out meeting minutes, as well as tracking and resolving action items efficiently. I find the setup process with project templates very easy, as we're able to configure projects quickly, and I like that we can make tweaks as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've always had an issue with reviews. There has been some updates recently which has helped, but there is still room for improvement like adding some permission settings and custom fields, similar to how the submittal tool works. Submittals can still be a little bit clunky. There could be some improvements there also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Autodesk Forma for early-stage planning and concept design, particularly to evaluate site feasibility. What I like most about Autodesk Forma is its ability to support data-driven decision-making at the early design stage. The fast massing studies are great for quickly testing multiple design options without detailed modeling. I appreciate the real-time environmental analysis for daylight, wind, noise, and sustainability, which provides immediate feedback and helps validate design decisions early on. The scenario comparison tools are fantastic for comparing alternatives side-by-side, improving decision-making and stakeholder communication. It's intuitive to use, speeds up feasibility studies, and helps align stakeholders early, which reduces rework in later BIM stages. Also, the initial setup was straightforward, being cloud-based, and the intuitive interface made it easy to get started. This tool is integrated and provides a more reliable data-driven approach than the manual methods we previously used, like SketchUp and Excel, boosting our early planning process.

Some aspects of Autodesk Forma could be improved. While it is very strong for early-stage analysis, the level of design detail is limited, so projects still need to transition early into tools like Revit for detailed development. The learning curve for advanced analysis features can be slightly steep for new users, and customization options for reports and outputs are somewhat limited. Additionally, tighter integration and smoother data handover with downstream BIM and construction workflows would further improve efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
