Forest Admin Reviews & Product Details

1. Active forum with great customer support: when asking a question, we typically wait a maximum of 1-2 days before getting a comprehensive response. Most of my inquiries have been solved, or even implemented, very fast.

2. Easy to use and set up. The docs are very easy to follow.

3. We use it with Mongoose & MongoD. Forest Admin does a lot of smart automatic deductions of field types/names, selects appropriate editing widgets, creates smart relationships between references, and visualizes them clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is sometimes hard to achieve more complex tasks when they do not align with the framework. I recommend reading the docs clearly what is and is not supported. Furthermore, the docs are very well structured and easy to follow, but they could be a bit more comprehensive. I frequently find myself looking through the Typescript descriptions to try to figure out the functionality of certain methods or fields (to be fair, the TS descriptions are very good).

In terms of getting a great administration interface on the ground quickly when developing Ruby on Rails applications, Forest Admin is easily the best choice. Most other options require a decent amount of code or to learn the ins and outs of a DSL, but with Forest you just plug and play and can easily tweak the interface and workflows with no coding needed.

Not much. It use to be that it didn't support polymorphic relationships, but they just released that feature! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Curve: While it's designed to be user-friendly, there might still be a learning curve for users who are new to the platform.

Customization Limitations: While Forest Admin allows customization, there might be limitations to how much you can modify the interface and functionalities to perfectly match your application's needs.

Maintenance: Like any tool, using Forest Admin may require ongoing maintenance, updates, and compatibility checks as your application evolves.
