Forecast Pros and Cons

I like Forecast because it helps manage projects easily. It has a clean design and is simple to use. The tool helps keep track of tasks and deadlines. It also integrates with other tools like Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, Forecast can be slow. The learning curve is a bit steep for new users. Some features are only available in the paid version, which can be limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout is good and the visual view of capacity would be great if it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast has some major failings, that only become apparent when you've been using the product for a while. Capacity management is the name of the game but unfortunately, we found that tasks do not automatically update when there is a change in an individual's capacity. i.e. if someone changes from 4 days a week to 5 days a week, Forecast doesn't view this as adding any additional capacity. To make it work you have to manually adjust every task assigned to that person.

There's also a strange bug whereby if you change the number of DAYS a person works (note, not the total number of hours a person works), this also messes up the capacity calculation.

There's other strange failings - it doesn't sync well with Harvest, even though they're linked apps. You can't view capacity by month, only by week.

Unfortunately these failings mean we'll be stopping using the product as soon as we can get an alternative solution in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The programme provides the ability to create pipelines and workflow structures so that the task may be completed accurately.

This platform's time management features are excellent for processing and completing work on time.

This is a comprehensive working tool that may be used for financial report planning, project management, organisational tasks, and many other things.

It provides regular updates and prompts on the remaining time until the project deadline.

Fantastic extensions and features for extracting data from the UI.

You have complete control over this programme to see, evaluate, and monitor the status of your workers' projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to report completed tasks on a monthly basis would make detail tracking more efficient and less time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project Management Software, Managing and Controlling project Scope, and resources ( cost and manpower), appropriate software for Agile and waterfall. Comparison Not as popular as MS Project and Primavera Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the software is basically for IT projects or software development projects, not for construction projects (EPC ). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What they promised, in theory, sounded really good. In practice, it is vapourware and doesn't actually do what it promises to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is an early stage beta that has many fundamental flaws, but it is marketed and sold as a polished product. The Forecast team gets quite aggressive once you have realised the functionality just doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its features and interface are my favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the system is a bit slow or laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecast is a professional project management software that helps users collaborate and assign tasks and their durations for big and small tasks alike. I personally love the auto scheduling feature that lets managers put employees on tasks based on their availability automatically and projects what the delivery date of different tasks will be based on various factors assigned within the workflow.

It is a little pricy compared to some competitors that have cheap or free options, but this may be a "you get what you pay for" type solution. I haven't seen a lot of other options that allow the machine learning capabilities, and that really made this product stand out for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the help of this, you can easily see your Project timelines, Deadlines, Plans, and team members. The project tracking feature is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not compatible with a mobile device and difficult to learn its features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the intuitiveness of Forecast as it requires almost no training and any member of the team can contribute with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the limited functionality. It is simple enough for anyone to quickly learn, but so simple that it misses powerful functionality, such as project details and tasks to be assigned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the better project management softwares that allows you to take projects/opportunities through the marketing and sales funnels and seamlessly transition into project management using the same platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its newer so it is not without its kinks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
