Forecast Pros and Cons

Easy to use across the whole business. Unlike some other platforms, forecast provides data and reports that influence the whole business from finance to the delivery teams.

The project management team have seen huge reductions in admin since moving to Forecast.

The team at Forecast are always working on improvements and new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few 'quick fixes' on the UX could be implemented that would make the user journey much easier.

At the moment not a huge bank of training resources available (I would like to see a bank of videos we could point newbies towards), however the team at FC are always happy to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast is the primary tool we use to run our agency, used by all delivery team members daily.

- The UX and UI is simple and intuitive

- It has powerful features without overwhelming you

- The depth of capability with reporting is excellent and helps all levels of the business (C-suite down to juniors) understand what's happening

Our productivy has improved since implenenting the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little. It's the best tool we've ever used for running the agency.

Sometimes the dependencies between the features and reporting can be a little difficult to get your head around. Fortunately the excellent support makes this easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how forecast combines useability with data analysis. it provide a quick and easy route to find work and log time for anyone using the system but gathers a range of useful data metrics that can be manuipulated to give powerful BI insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be useful to use more data manipulation in AvA. e.g. Putting a sum at the bottom of a table, subtracting one column form another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really great for putting together fee estimates, tracking time and tasks etc

Multiple ways to record time and view tasks without overcomplicating the process.

Customer support is great, and they take on board suggestions for improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filters provide many options to show relevant data, but can take a while to get used to exactly how some of these work.

Resource heat maps and reporting isnt as intuitive as the rest of the programme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast has been great for our business so far, transforming the way in which projects are set up and how we obtain management information.

I love the engaged product team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast is on a journey and I'd love them to refine the financial reporting robustness (e.g. multi currency conversion and how that is used in different data sets in AVA).

There are plenty of improvements that I know they're working on, but would be great to get a public roadmap with delivery dates so we can manage our internal stakeholders on any pain points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is human friendly. Creating a new project is quick. Task management and scheduling is made simple and quick. The user interface has good response time as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In large corporations where accesses to specific projects should be restricted based on the organizational structure - this feature will require further improvements. Another example is project specific labels; these are missing. In the current version labels are created by admin and these labels are then common to all projects.

Using Forecast has helped our team by predicting outcomes, guiding projects to success, and showing us best practices, so everyone can do their best work. In my beauty business, Forecast predicts market trends, manages inventory, and keeps our project timelines on track, ensuring our new product launches go smoothly and on time.

One challenge we've encountered with Forecast is the initial learning curve; it took some time for our team to fully adapt and utilize all its features effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast offers an intuitive interface that makes project planning and resource management seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is the learning curve for new users, which might require some initial training to fully leverage all features. However, once accustomed, the platform is highly effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how using Forecast, I have the ability to control and manage not only my SDLC but also the financial aspect of how my product is growing and at what scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it offers the project management feature, I can see there could be plenty more space left for it to be comparable to existing products in the market, like jira. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a really responsive and helpful support team at Forecast who help us with any challenges we have on the system. Always available to give support and assist with customisation to enable the system to work in the best way for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are limitations around specific functions we'd like but Forecast are always open to add more features and suggestions to their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
