My greatest strength with Forward Enterprise is the fact that it maintains all projects and assignments transparent. I use it daily so as to deal with deadlines, coordinate team duties, and progress. Such features as task summaries and approval tracking ensure that one can easily understand who is doing what and when. Its frequent use enhances planning and averts cases of mistakes or omissions in day to day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary issue that frustrates me about Forward Enterprise is that it may require a lot more time than usual to accomplish the routine tasks due to the amount of steps required. Changes do not always appear instantly and it is a bit too cumbersome to switch between various projects. Such restrictions introduce minor delays and demand additional attention particularly when time is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Forward Enterprise assists in organizing team tasks and timeframes is what appeals to me the most. Attaching it to Outlook and internal calendars, we will be able to see who works on what and when, and this will decrease the level of confusion and keep the projects on schedule. Such functions as the ability to assign tasks, track resources, and update progress will enable the team to plan the work effectively and prevent any bottlenecks. The daily use has enhanced visibility, accountability and general coordination between departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A disadvantage is that it is time consuming to readjust several schedules in case of changing priorities. In case of unpredictable changes in the projects, the adjustment of the assignments and the schedule should be done with caution. Since the team works with it on a daily basis, the changes occasionally cause additional work and require thorough inspection as to ensure that all the plans are correct.

The aspect of posture verification and compliance is what appeals to me most. Knowing that I can test changes and validate security policies before even applying them to the real network gives me enormous peace of mind. It avoids that nervous feeling of causing downtime due to a configuration error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup process and full integration with all network devices takes some work. It requires very meticulous attention to detail to ensure that the 'digital twin' is 100% true to reality. It's not something you install and start using in five minutes; it requires a considerable time investment in the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like to be inside of every process, this whole app is basically a dashboard that you just have to learn and start managing all the processes or issues. For us it helped to get rid of Real Time Portfolio Uploads issue. Also we were facing issues with our Network, and our IT assistant suggested to go with any type of application that can help with network security and reliability. And it actually helped, we were able to figure out the cause root of this issues, which was DDOS attacks on our ip-adress, after some manipulations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some analytics feel too technical, the features, interface everything lacks explanation, I understand that their main audience is IT specialists, but there are regular people who don't want to do it without overpaying directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search function is incredible. When a guest reports an issue with their smart TV or Wi-Fi, I can use Forward to instantly see if the device is connected to the network, what switch it's on, and if there's a policy blocking it. It’s like having X-ray vision into the walls. The visual topology maps help me coordinate with our IT contractor much more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very powerful tool, and sometimes the information is almost too detailed for the basic troubleshooting I need to do. I primarily use a small subset of its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The conversation assignment and ownership structure is what made the biggest immediate difference for our team. Every incoming message has a clear owner and a visible status so nothing sits in a grey area where everyone assumes someone else is handling it. For a customer facing team managing high volumes daily that accountability layer has changed how we operate more than any other single feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search functionality inside older conversation threads is not as fast as it needs to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most helpful is forward predict sandbox. For my company that can't afford dedicated hardware labs, this is invaluable. It allows me and my team to simulate some risky changes that we consider applying to the devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks automation, some monitoring features to see harware lifecycle and EOL identification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite thing about Forward Enterprise is that it keeps everyone aware of their duties and the next task to undertake. I use it every day to verify the completion of tasks, provide updates, and make project notes. Avoidance of the feature of priority tagging and automated notification will ensure that projects operate within their schedules. It has eased the collaboration process and has saved time that I would have spent explaining the deadlines or manual tracking of progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that annoys me the most is that it is not as easy as I would prefer to change the deadlines or reassign tasks. In case of the rapid change of the project, I need to go over the assignments at least twice so that everything would update accordingly. New coworkers may have difficulties with task lists, so I take time to help them. These are not the weaknesses that make us unable to complete the work, however they do need additional attention and delay some of the adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly value the support provided by Forward Network in confirming and validating the security policies I have created. Additionally, it has helped me establish an automated database tailored to my networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In this position, I haven't found many drawbacks with the network itself. However, you do need to undertake the labor-intensive task of integrating forward APIs with your existing orchestration platform if you want to achieve full automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
