Forward Enterprise Reviews & Product Details

It allows for easy creation and editing of complex systems simulation which easily allowed me map our network its dashboard in order to achieve my objectives of improving our existing network, it is well designed and is customizable to great extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software support is great but the search menu could be advanced to find the exact network path that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the mathematical model feature. It creates a digital twin of our network which makes searching very easy, just like Google. As a DevOps, I use their API to verify network changes automatically. It supports both AWS cloud and our on-premise switches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The NQE (Network Query Engine) is very powerful but difficult to learn in starting. Documentation is there but syntax is complex. Also, the license cost is on higher side. Sometimes the snapshot collection takes time for large networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a robust network modeling dashboard that gives clear visibility into misconfigurations, firewall traffic and security events, making audits, troubleshooting, and compliance checks much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not find any areas that need improvement at the moment or features that may be lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forward Networks has completely transformed the way we manage our network. The platform provides us with clear visibility, making it much easier to identify issues quickly. It also helps us avoid mistakes before they occur, which saves time and enhances reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, forward networks can be complicated to configure and understand, particularly for those who are new to the platform. Additionally, the pricing tends to be on the higher side, which might make it difficult for smaller teams or organizations to afford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with Forward Network has been exceptional and their team demonstrated expertise and dedication during the implementation of the platform. It was easy to create a simulation of our cloud environment and its dashboard gives us a wealth of information related to network inventory, vulnerabilities and configuration details.

There are not any specific cons that I have experienced with this platform it is no doubt the best ever simulation software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets me peer into every client enviroment without actually beeing on-site next to devices. I run verification checks and simulated configss to confirm VLANs and routing policies are wokring as expected.

Forwad Enterprise service allows to have a clean, dependable second option for our infrastructure design, great form a network business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None of their report templates fit our business, which is unexpected, most of the companies in this field need the same things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use data modeling to add intelligence to the entities is amazing and the ability to model dynamic moving resources is another great feature enabling us to capture how traffic paths change when workloads shift across data centers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No cons! My experience with Forward Networks is positive and I appreciate the way it handles scenarios and experiments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation is thorough, and the strong community support is something I appreciate. I enjoy the potential it offers for discovery, as it lets you examine individual interactions in detail. This makes it straightforward to investigate the connections between different behaviors. I particularly value how it enables you to uncover and understand these relationships.

At times, I find the user interface somewhat challenging to navigate, and there are certain programming limitations that can be frustrating. Additionally, updates are released much less frequently than with other similar tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing i like about forward enterprise is end to end centralized visibility that it provides how network actually works. After using it about 6+ months it became primary source for me for path analysis and trouble shooting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing i dislike is mainly the learning curve, particularly the teams that involved in advance network modeling. Few powerful features like complex queries take time and hands on to properly understand. Once team gets familiarized with this, issues becomes less noticeable.

The platform is extremely powerful and it really makes one’s life so much easier for simulations. It has everything I need to perform network simulation process to predict network behavior that would otherwise require us to write 100s of lines of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes some time to learn this software so looking at videos provided by Forward Networks and reading the help section is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
