"Eliminating Guesswork from Cloud Security Posture Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Forward Enterprise?

The digital twin technology provides mathematical verification of our security policies across hybrid environments. I can run "what-if" scenarios to test security controls before deployment and instantly identify any misconfigured security groups or firewall rules in AWS and Azure. The search capability lets me find exactly which resources can communicate with each other in seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forward Enterprise?

The pricing model can be challenging for organizations that are heavily cloud-native without significant on-prem infrastructure. The initial data model building requires careful planning for optimal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best visibility tool for the multi-cloud"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forward Enterprise?

The digital twin functionality is simply amazing. And as a Cloud Architect, I see all my AWS and Azure paths in single diagram. The “mathematical certainty” it offers is greatly beneficial to our staff when vetting traffic flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forward Enterprise?

In fact, NQE (Network Query Engine) is some what difficult to learn. It will take you some time to learn the syntax of user checks. Finally, for very large networks the data collection will sometimes not update the state immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clear, Accurate Network Visibility with Forward Networks"
5/5
What do you like best about Forward Enterprise?

Forward Networks provides an incredibly clear and accurate map of the entire network in seconds. The "digital twin" functionality is really what makes the difference: I can see the real state of the network, validate changes, and anticipate problems before they happen. The platform is visual, intuitive, and helps transform complex networks into something understandable and auditable. I also really like the automatic policy checks — they eliminate a large part of the manual work and reduce operational risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forward Enterprise?

The initial learning curve can be a bit steep for teams less familiar with automation or network modeling platforms. Some advanced integrations require setup time, and depending on the size of the environment, the initial indexing may take a while. Beyond that, I don’t have major complaints.
