Forecast

Vorteile

It's easy to use UI. It is also very tracking time and tasks as it provides us multiple ways to track them.

Nachteile

nothing major but the filtering option is a little bit confusing, especially when you are a first time user.

Vorteile

The resourcing elements and link to project management are generally very strong. I like the task management element as a senior manager it's simple to review time spent

Nachteile

Chiefly the lack of integration with any other platforms, this means elements such as Expenses are hard to track in real terms and there are some overall compatibility issues with our existing systems, such as Jira.

Vorteile

Reduction in administrative time it's great

Nachteile

Nothing the app is splendid I loved it all

Vorteile

For project and workflow management, Forecast offers great features.
It is an affordable tool and centralizes management making boosting productivity easy.

Nachteile

All features of Forecast has been amazing. No issues whatsoever.

Vorteile

The product is good and has opportunities for improvement, but this can get better with each new version. The greatest strength of this software is its performance in optimizing projects and resource management

Nachteile

Being an AI software, it depends on having the best quality training data to achieve the most accurate results possible

Vorteile

What i like most about Forecast is its ability to cut down time & administration, so work can get done faster.

Nachteile

What i like least about Forcast is that its AI but everyt I ings.AI these days.

Vorteile

I like the versatility of Forecast with all the features it provides such as automation using AI, project and time management, etc.

Nachteile

Some features may feel a bit buggy sometimes, but they are fixed after some time.

Vorteile

I like the AI feature it helps ensure that projects stay on track by predicting future resource needs and potential roadblocks.

Nachteile

While the tool is great, there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to mastering all the features, but the on-screen instruction helps me to get through.

Vorteile

I liked that it integrates with other tools like Jira and Asana, so it's not a huge hassle to connect everything.

Nachteile

Nothing, it's a brilliant software. I love using it

Vorteile

This software can spot any risk for it becomes a problem which is extremely important when it comes to success for my company

Nachteile

Learning how to navigate this product could be a little complicating but overall is definitely worth it.

Vorteile

Forecast is a powerful tool that offers seamless communication and integration with a wide range of applications, enabling us to effectively manage our products and achieve the desired results. The process of creating tickets and lists is easy and user-friendly, allowing us to efficiently track our products and customer notes. The feature of assigning tickets to team members adds flexibility to the follow-up process, while the project manager can easily access reports that cover all stages of the workflow and provide accurate updates on team progress.

Nachteile

Forecast is an excellent tool, but it requires some training to use all its features effectively. In some cases, when handling a large number of tasks, Forecast may take some time to load, but this is not a recurring issue.

Vorteile

I like that I can get a quick overview of projects that I'm associated with. Being able to see where and how my time is spent is very handy. I'm able to get what I need to very quickly and that is very important.

Nachteile

I guess the fact that the application is quite feature rich, the interface can be quite tricky to navigate if you don't already know what you want to do. I would've liked having a button on the home page to directly take me to any tasks assigned to me. I would've liked having quicker access to information pertaining to me.

Vorteile

I like the navigation that Forecast has. I'm involved in many projects and that involves switching quite often among them as well as through all my tasks. The navigation is well thought out and means that I don't lose time viewing the tasks that I need to. The views are also nicely designed, the important information is distinguishable and easy to follow. It doesn't make time tracking or project management feel like such a chore. I'm really happy with Forecast.

Nachteile

The only thing I wish Forecast had was an optional dark mode. I use it often enough that throughout the entire day, the white colour scheme gets tiring after while, especially at night time.

Vorteile

Syncs up automatically with Harvest and allows to make sure our team is running at its capacity as well as making sure that some team member are not overworked

Nachteile

Learning curve can be a bit tricky, lots a things to put in place before getting outputs

Vorteile

The workflow view was helpful to our web developers because they were used to using that type of system. The benefit Forecast provided our team was coupling that feature with the ability to manage general traffic flow, work accountability and timelines for projects.

Nachteile

We experienced a few bugs with browser compatibility and Google docs. The reporting structure is also not as robust for the reports we need to generate for internal review and our clients.

Insights adds value to project oversight & planning
Same for scheduling
Time tracking, sprint planning & progress all implemented very intuitive

Nachteile

not possible to use multiple timers
no approve button after filling timesheet for double checks
impossible to release sprint & have issues removed from done column

Vorteile

The software is very intuitive, user-friendly and the look and feel is simple and gives the clearest view of the studio, who is available, who has time, who does not and what are they working on.
The project set-up, platform for scoping and the ability to set each team with their own capacity is brilliant and only compliments an already great offering in the world of team, project and capacity management.

Nachteile

I don't have any negatives just now, but we are in an extended trial period and so we are still decision making on whether or not this will be the right tool for our purpose.

Vorteile

The tool we used before didn't have any forecasting features our company needed. I really like the Time feature because it is simple, fast, and intuitive to use. I can easily see my projects, cards, and enter my time all in one view. It's always difficult switching systems after so many years, but I can instantly see the benefits of using Forecast as a sophisticated, easy-to-use platform. Forecast does a great job at tailoring to fit our company's needs and taking our feedback requests seriously.

Vorteile

I like that it is very easy to use and has helped me to organize better my time and have knowledge of where my hours are being allocated.

Nachteile

I have only used it on desktop version, I find it a little complicated to use it on mobile but otherwise this software has helped a lot on my team and I think is great.

Vorteile

The extensive overview over the time spent. Assignment of individuals to tasks. Seamless cross-platform interaction.

Nachteile

Stability is an issue at times. Navigating through various elements of the app in search of where you need to be can be problematic at first.

Vorteile

I like the fact that you don't have to save the hours and it automatically updates when the value is entered into the slot.

Nachteile

A little too many updates are being made to the application. May be reduce the rollouts to once a month or so.

Vorteile

I used this tool for a while and really enjoyed the experience. It helped me to save time and I could keep track of the many projects the team had and prioritize them. Very suitable as well if there is a variety of projects and you need some organization.

Nachteile

It's not convenient when it comes to large projects that require a long period of time and there is a limit when you want to add notes.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and the overall look of the platform is great!

Nachteile

As a 'regular' user, I don't see anything missing.

Vorteile

Easy of use. Every feature available has a polished UX, that is simple, fast and clean. The way you create a project and associate cards (task) makes our job easier.

Nachteile

There are some features that I really missed: more reports, more flexibility on rates. Sometimes I need to export csv file just to combine with other information that's already in Forecast.

Vorteile

The timelines are great - it helps me see the "big picture" roadmap as well as my team's workload at any given point of a product's life cycle.

Nachteile

The UI is okay, and the UX is not the best - but once you get the hang of the product, it will pay off.

Vorteile

I liked the dynamism and organization with the precept of functionality of the projects

Nachteile

the color palette of the statistics graphs could be made more visually appealing, making them easier to read

Vorteile

Al contar con una interfas tan intuitiva facilita demaciado la inplementacion del aplicativo permitiendo una planificacion efectiva tanto en los proyectos como en los equipos.

Nachteile

Toca tener encuenta que su conectividad es algo lenta en un principio mientras carga todas las caracteristicas.

Vorteile

I thought one great feature was the colour coded time tracking. You can look at a colleague (or yourself) when assigning asks and immediately see whether that person is already at capacity. Its simple but quite useful.

Nachteile

It's hardly the cheapest tool on the market and for what you pay, there are other tools that seem to offer more features.

Vorteile

cuenta con pronostico inteligente gracias a inteligencia artificial lo que permite dar predicciones avanzadas a los proyectos. permitiendo tomar decisiones sobre la asignacion de recursos.

Nachteile

la dependencia de datos precisos es algo que debemos tener en cuenta ya que si existe algun error en la entrada de datos los resultados pueden llegar a ser imprecisos.

Vorteile

AI feature for task management, project outcomes and budget allocation

Nachteile

Very technical and not like Jira which was easy to use

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Forecast

Vorteile

It enables artificial intelligence work automation, project management, resource management, team collaboration, integrations, finance and billings and time and team collaborations. It gives free trail to use. Their support is amazing. it can be accessed from android or from iOS too. It enables Jira integration to use easily. The feature it provides does not have in its competitive software.

Nachteile

I do not find as much bugs in this software but sometimes some features do not work properly and later fixed quickly. The scheduling needs little improved only apart from all these the overall software is perfect to use to automate your almost every service.

Vorteile

Was good for budgeting and basic project tracking features.

Nachteile

Not usable on mobile devices, and disappointed by the aggressive upselling and hidden cancellation terms.

Vorteile

I trailed around 7/8 different project management softwares over a 6-month period, the main problem was i needed both project management and resource management which proved really hard to find. Either one was good at one and not the other etc but finding forecast really dealt with all my needs and although its taken 6 months to get all the data in and staff using effectively, the benefits have been fantastic. Projects are running smoother and we can control the budgets better.

Nachteile

There isnt much i find wrong with this software and the team are really good at taking on board our ideas and requests, i think the scheduling could be improved a little, but the forecast team are always looking to improve on a great product and im sure they will continue to improve.

Vorteile

I really liked the way it manages my projects and organizes my schedule.

Nachteile

Sometimes i encounter some problems with usage, but problems that I think are easy to solve.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Forecast

Vorteile

The combined resource scheduling, time-tracking and Project Management tools, the detailed operational tracking and reporting, frequency of updates, and, of course, the excellent customer support.

It has been a pleasure to both use the product, and interact with the Forecast team.

Nachteile

Honestly, nothing springs to mind. The Forecast team have been very receptive to suggestions for minor enhancements as they've evolved the product, and I've no doubt that will continue. I feel we're in good hands.

Vorteile

Forecast's customer support is one of the best I have ever had to work with. Second would be the ease of use for staff to help plan out projects and timelines.

Nachteile

Sometimes parts don't work correctly but they are quick to fix the issues.

Warum Forecast gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Forecast

Vorteile

- Beautiful, fast and easy to use interface.
- The mix of Kanban and SCRUM just makes sense.
- The way I track the work, attach files, and so on, everything works fine

Nachteile

- The mobile app has a lot of limitations, and there are a lot of features that only can be made in the browser interface.

Vorteile

As a business owner, Forecast gives me real time project information and gives great insight on project include on time and on budget!

Nachteile

It's a lot to get your head around in one hit, but over the course of a few months everything starts to make sense.

Vorteile

Share roadmap with client
Overview on Team Tasks : forecast & timesheet
Financial view and

Nachteile

Need to be more easy for the consultant when he schedule & timesheet task . for exemple it will be very efficient when the consultant create himself subtasks from the milestone and schedule it on his roadmap ---> to be visible on his weekly/monthly roadmap.
other example : we have 100 hours for the milestone "run consulting" and i create a subtask 'reporting " 5 hours work. it will be great to update the amount of initial hours from the milestone ie : 95h ( does not work actually :( )

Vorteile

I love forecast because it's makes it easy for me to coordinate my upcoming projects with the rest of my team. Being able to set a high and low time allotment has been really helpful for gauging how long future projects will take.

Nachteile

My only issue is that I wish that there was an option to pause the timer fully -- sometimes I step away from my computer and would like to be able to stop the timer rather than have to report multiple increments of time to a project daily.

Vorteile

If using Harvest, Forecast is a perfect tie-in for simple resource management.

Nachteile

This tool (like most) does not allow scheduling complex engineering engagements. It assumes that engineers will be working on one project where the effort is evenly distributed.
