The thing that I find most appealing about Forward Enterprise is its reliability and stability. The platform is well-maintained, organized, and scalable. It efficiently handles complex business processes. The support team is reliable, and the implementation services are top-notch. The integration of the system with an enterprise is flawless.

Some of these advanced options have a steeper curve and necessitate knowledge of how to utilize these features. Moreover, it would be better to provide detailed descriptions of some of these edge cases to aid users in resolving these issues on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me the biggest value is the ability to model our full enterprise network without touching production devices. I can check end to end connectivity between application servers and external endpoints in a few clicks. The path analysis clearly shows which rule or device is influencing the flow. That level of transparency saves hours of manual review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is real if your team is not familiar with advanced networking concepts.

Some report customization options feel limited for very specific executive formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest features that jumped out to me immediately was being able to find anything on the network with a search bar. This simple yet powerful feature streamlines digging, clicking and excessive time spent tracking things down. Also the NQE (Network Query Engine) can find detailed information which can then be used for further analysis and trouble shooting. Having a native API integration can also further streamline the process to export this data to other reporting tools. In addition to its strengths in trouble shooting and tracing it also does a fine job for network mapping and status updates. Networks are a complete spider web sometimes and a certain type of subnet or network may not take one single path. This tool has proven helpful in being able to trace out the actual path and possible paths taken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While this tool has many solid features it will not be able to fully replace most of our current network management tools yet, but as it stands today is an excellent complimentry partner to our stack. This does of course increase our overall budget. Another item that has been a bit of a pain point is that NQE is proprietary and does carry a learning curve. If there was more out of the box reports would also be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very straightforward platform to evaluate all the different types of traffic cycling to different endpoints and it has a user-friendly interface that lets us visualize every flow, isolate workloads quickly, and enforce zero trust policies. It delivers reliable granular network segmentation that enables precise and application-aware policy enforcement to strengthen the organization’s security posture.

Sometimes the UI feels a bit heavy and slow, especially with bigger environments. Also, it takes some time for new people to understand the logic behind the tools and features.

The pricing might seem somewhat steep for smaller teams, and the initial setup can be time-consuming, especially when mapping out large infrastructures. Additionally, some of the more advanced features demand a solid understanding of network automation concepts. However, once everything is configured, the overall experience is smooth and highly reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems to be very functional for the purpose it was created for and nothing improve immediately comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their reachability and blast radius simulation tools are a major plus. We can model how firewall rules, ACL changes, or how segmentation tweaks will affect exposure across a clients network. It's a good tool to use to have higher confidence after set up, especially with security leaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting and exporting are pretty limited. We often need to format the results into our own deliverables, and some of the output need finish touch to match the report style we need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value it for how clearly the paths between our tax software, document portals and backup systems. During our peak seasons even small delays cause a lot of issues with customers and overall job delivery, so it hurts our profit for that season.
