What do you dislike about Forecast?

Forecast is a software that has a slightly steep learning curve for beginners, so it is necessary to train a little before using the software or use it with someone who knows the operation of the service in order to use it correctly and avoid having uncomfortable experiences, as for the operation of Forecast I can say that I have seen small slowdowns but it is nothing serious.

"Excellent Schedule Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Forecast?

Ease of use is the first thing that comes to mind. Forecast is a simple solution that presents data in an easy to understand way. This makes on-boarding easier across all departments, as assigning and viewing assigned hours is easy. We've found it best in our organization to have one designated super admin, and then at a weekly meeting we spend about 15 minutes discussing and scheduling the work for the week, checking hours for resources and making sure that no one is over/under booked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

With that ease of use unfortunately comes some loss (or lack) of information. It's not as detailed as something like JIRA, but it is ahead of the rest in terms of how it visually presents and organizes vital information. While this is a downside, I really don't hold it against Forecast as, again, the simplicity of the visual interface is what sells it for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

""Basic, ground-breaking and lovely""
5/5
What do you like best about Forecast?

What I like the most is the booking. I can plainly observe is the group is overallocated or not. Also, the client administration is splendid. At whatever point there is an issue, they can help in a split second and precisely answer the given inquiry. At long last, the activities see. It has numerous helpful highlights and UI is an artful culmination! What's more, It can be chosen what is essential to you and what you need to see when entered the rundown of the activities. Extremely simple to explore and change the information inside the application. It is essentially incredible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product for Understanding Company resource Capabilities"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forecast?

It allows management and project leads to determine the amount of hours that are being dedicated to various company projects. This provides them with an idea of personal requirements going forward for future business and current clients. The user interface for the tool is very easy to navigate through and not too much of a learning curve is required for the end users to update it regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

It unfortunately does not have a private view for the end user, in case they want to track projects that the user does not want management, project managers, or other company employees to see. It could have more integration capabilities with other Harvest products, but does offer some useful ones at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of user interface is awesome. Makes it easy to see who is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

People are not auto-added to projects in Harvest if they have been added to a project in Forecast. This makes it double work to add someone in Forecast then remember to go back and add them in Harvest so they can bill time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Forecasting for Engineers makes sense!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forecast?

Forecast integrates with Harvest. Creating a project, team, and schedule is extremely easy. Essentially you can map out your engineering teams schedule in advance or for an entire lifecycle of the project. I can add milestones and hours per date - the at a glance view of a full project, forecast, schedule is one of the best features for your PMO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forecast?

Sometimes its very slow - when trying to make updates it can take a bit of time to actually get it. Could be more performant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
