BIM Professional Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/16/2023 Business partner of the seller or seller's competitor, not included in G2 scores. "Seems like a powerful tool but is still dificult to understand workflows" 5/5 What do you like best about Forge? It seems like the perfect tool for automatization in the BIM process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forge? It is still difficult to understand 100% the correct way to use the tool for whatever you need. For example, many companies offer automatization 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 automatizations, 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Forge solving and how is that benefiting you? Automatization of the different construction management processes. Time is the most significant benefit i receive from all the things you can develop with forge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They also hold free forge data day's conferences which help a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Forge? 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.
