Forge Reviews & Product Details

It seems like the perfect tool for automation in the BIM process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still difficult to understand 100% the correct way to use the tool for whatever you need. For example, many companies offer automation services, but all of them are forge-based, and if you use them, you will end up paying for forge and the other tool. The pricing is still not very clear in those cases. Also, you can create your own automations, but the options are so many and there is no guide to follow, that it becomes overwhelming, and you don't know how to proceed.

The fact that I can automate a lot of manual tasks in Revit and put them to work directly in the cloud. No local computing resources are required. They also hold free forge data day's conferences which help a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike in general about the platform. All I would ask is additional documentation and learning resources for the common power user to be able to get into development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
