Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Autodesk Forma is that it supports many important aspects of the project lifecycle in one connected platform, from early planning and design coordination to document control, field collaboration, and project tracking. It helps teams stay organized by keeping key project information, drawings, models, updates, and communication in a central place, which reduces the need to search through multiple systems or email threads. I also value how it improves visibility across the team, making it easier to understand project status, review changes, coordinate with different stakeholders, and make better decisions. The platform supports collaboration between office and field teams, improves accountability, and helps reduce confusion caused by outdated or scattered information. Overall, it adds value by making construction workflows more efficient, transparent, and easier to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Autodesk Forma is that it can feel overwhelming at times because the platform has many tools, features, and workflows built into one system. For new users, there can be a learning curve, especially when trying to understand where certain information is stored or how different modules connect with each other. Some processes may also take extra clicks compared to a simpler tool, and performance can sometimes depend on internet connectivity or how large the project files are. That said, these challenges are manageable once the team becomes familiar with the platform and sets up clear project standards. Overall, the benefits are strong, but the user experience could be improved with simpler navigation, faster loading, and more intuitive workflows for everyday tasks.

I particularly appreciate the ability to visualize different types of formats directly on Autodesk Forma. This saves me from switching between tools, thanks to the centralization of my models on a single platform, where I can easily overlay them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The assistant part really needs improvement to not only allow navigation through the hierarchy but also to query the models and visualize the requested elements on the models. Additionally, there are improvements needed on the Orchestrator side to set up workflows. Furthermore, we need to enhance connectivity with platforms like SharePoint and Solibri, which our clients often use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Autodesk Forma for the development, hosting, sharing, and collaboration on our A&E projects. I appreciate how this platform provides a single source for sharing and collaboration while allowing different levels of access and permissions. I really like the continuous development that Autodesk continues to provide for Forma. As a multi-disciplined team, it's helpful to have tools in Forma that support us from Design Development through Construction, and I see that these improvements have developed over time and with different versions of the cloud solutions.

Any connections that require the use of Desktop Connector continue to be something we are working to avoid. Desktop Connector continues to prove itself to be unreliable and incredibly unstable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The preface is user-friendly. It helps us ensure our project design quality and strictly complies with the ISO Naming Standard. The software enables us to collaborate within the team and avoid clashes with our models. I can also integrate my Smartsheet and Power BI Dashboards to give a better view of our project.

Mainly Autodesk Construction Cloud helps us to deliver quality projects to our clients. Some minor comment is the extraction of the report, but so far, it is an excellent investment. This is the future of the construction industry. I hope more projects will use BIM. It saves time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Autodesk Forma because it greatly speeds things up for the team and allows us to collaborate and check models in various ways, which is essential for worksharing. Being able to use Revit and upload the models is incredibly useful since I'm a BIM coordinator. The initial setup was super easy, which I appreciate a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be difficult depending on what permissions we get from others or ourselves and sometimes people don't get the right permissions. I think if there's a guide for people before they get to that part and just show an overall demo it would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How it centralises project delivery into a single comprehensive tool which can be closely controlled by Admins. The links and references tools in the platform make this a very useful tool from project start to handover and closeout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some tools lack the smart, intuitive functionality that is seen in other tools across the platform. Simple functions in Issues may not be available in Assets such as mass editing common attributes, or some tools in cost management will not be available in the data management tools. There is much that each module's development team could learn from looking across at one another instead of to the customer sometimes... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autodesk Forma serves as a single source of truth for all our construction items, which is a game changer for our team. I can easily find and track issues, RFIs submittals and drawings reviews for any project all in a centralized location. This consolidation eliminated the need to jump between multiple platforms saving time reducing miscommunication and keeping everyone aligned thoughtout the entire lifecycle of the project.

I like the ease of use - especially on iPads. I just recently uploaded files for a newer project so our field team can review the coordination model. They have been able to intuitively "walk" through the model.

I also appreciate that it's so easy to upload and keep track of revisions for files and sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the initial project setup. I assume that if we had a template project set up it would be easier, but getting all of the information loaded is still a chore.

It's also frustrating when users can't see everything expected because the permissions level is not what we anticipated. The level designations are slightly confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integrated role assignment ability and automated contact methods that speed up communication. I also find it extremely useful to reference specific information through simple asset tagging, relating that to drawings and models for more accurate descriptions of issues in construction and maintenance. Additionally, for me, it was intuitive and logical to pick up, even though I wasn’t involved in the transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The navigation and viewing experience in Sheets, files, and specifications could use some polishing, and making PDF content searchable on sheets and artifacts would greatly improve usability. It's challenging to find specific words or descriptions as they relate to Issues and RFI in Sheets and Specifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
