Forecast Reviews & Product Details

I like that Forecast is straightforward to set up and use for organizations it suits. It provides clear top-level information about when a person is covered until, and interfaces with Harvest for project tracking and finances. It highlights visibility of leave, expected project burn, and helps track who is working on which project and when. I find it useful that it allows us to foresee expected burn and invoicing month on month, and it makes it easy to see when projects are expected to finish so that people can be lined up for other projects.

Forecast only links to one Harvest instance, which doesn't work for organizations that have grown to include multiple business units each with their own Harvest instance. It would be great if it could handle multiple 'organizations' under one tool. Additionally, I wish it could automatically load public holidays, track leave from Harvest or another system, and show this in the Forecast calendar. Also, tracking future engagements or opportunities and future starter people could be improved, as well as resourcing based on a +30-day view instead of manually filling in days between dates.

It can be hard when you aren't able to see the history of entries i.e. when multiple people are managing it, the only information to history is the last person who updated it not what was updated/changed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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.
