Product remains immature, should pull back the aggressive sales
Reviewed on 6/2/2021
Overall the product is somewhat immature, not usable on mobile, their sales tactics are overly aggressive, and they make cancellation difficult.
Pros
Was good for budgeting and basic project tracking features.
Cons
Not usable on mobile devices, and disappointed by the aggressive upselling and hidden cancellation terms.

Centreline Architecture Forecast Review
Reviewed on 13/11/2019
With Forecast we are easily able to plan our architectural projects and meet deadlines and stay within the allotted budgets. Forecast is consistently updating with new features and addons.
Pros
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.
Cons
Sometimes parts don't work correctly but they are quick to fix the issues.

Great, almost all-in-one tool
Reviewed on 18/11/2019
Previously, we had relied on a number of products to manage our projects and teams and while we're not there yet, Forecast seems to be the tool that will finally allow us to consolidate most of those other tools into one.
Pros
The integration of task tracking, time tracking, and resource allocation.
Cons
The budget pages are a bit confusing and it's a bit tedious to update task and time entries. It's quite expensive for a large team.

Can be improved for the team
Reviewed on 13/11/2019
i can manage the production of my team and much more with the budget plan
Pros
Share roadmap with client
Overview on Team Tasks : forecast & timesheet
Financial view and
Cons
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 :( )

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

Forecast helps me stay on track
Reviewed on 18/1/2019
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Forecast does a great job of organizing our Agile tickets.
Pros
Easy to enter hours against project/tickets and add comments all from the timesheet page.
Cons
1) It can be a chore to track down a specific ticket. I input the number in the search box and Bobo the Bear cannot find anything. Instead I need to slog through projects trying to see where it is.
2) Bobo the Bear. I'm old enough to remember Clippy. Why bring him back, just under a new name?

Packed with Features but steep learning curve.
Reviewed on 16/7/2019
Our company was trying out the product to have better project planning and resource allocation but most of us do not want to use it because of the time it takes to log in tasks or hours.
Pros
The way the data is displayed is quite intuitive, the timelines, hours, pending hours and etc. I like how my upcoming tasks are shown on the dashboard with colour coding and also highlights due tasks.
Cons
The learning curve is very steep, even though I am tech savvy person, I found it difficult to begin with. I feel it has too many ways of achieveing the same outcome.

Forecast as personal task management
Reviewed on 14/11/2019
Very good, and it is clear that the product is being worked on.
Both through updates by e-mail and seeing new functions being added.
Pros
Ease of use and clear overviews.
The design is very clean and the UX is topnotch.
Cons
It is a bit fixated on certain aspects.
Instead of being focused on projects,
a focus on clients would be nice as an alternaive.
This is not a minus if all your work is project-based.

Forecast has given my team visibility into resource management like we've never had before!
Reviewed on 13/3/2018
So far Forecast has addressed most of my company's requests for new features and functionality and made them part of the system.
Pros
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.

Facilitated company processes
Reviewed on 18/11/2019
It is an enjoyable experience, it made some company processes very easy and unbureaucratic, we have much more visibility of the projects and it unified some tasks that were made separately.
Pros
The ease of use to create tasks, manage hours spent on projects and have a centralized way to cast hours.
Cons
Some tools apparently have the same functionality and its not easy (as the other features) to design sprints and have visibility of them.

Great to actually see my own personal management plan instead of just milestones in a diary. Also easy for my superiors to see who is over/under allocated with workload at a glance.
Pros
Good easy to understand visuals with plenty of colour ques. Easy to manipulate timeframes and shuffle tasks with only a few mouse clicks.
Cons
Took a little bit of playing around to figure out the best way to use it for me. Multiple different ways of doing the same thing was a little daunting at first but now I've figured out the way I like to work it.

I can track my time in an amazing way and have all the information I need at hand for each task and also for every project
Pros
I have been a TFS user for years and never found a better management tool until I found Forecast. It is the clearest tool on the market so far, easy to use, full of functionalities. There's a lot o pros to it:
- highly customizable
-the time recording is amazing
-comments and subtasks on cards are awesome
-you can also tag other members of the team if you want them to read something
Cons
-when i record time, the record pop up is too small for the tasks names in the select
-i'd like a clearer way to mark done subtasks rather than a checkbox

It helps team members see their tasks and update the progress easily.
Pros
Timeline showing progress of all projects in one screen;
Kanban board showing project tasks;
To-do list;
Compare budget and expense.
Cons
Collaborator cannot see "Scoping" page;
Cannot relate parent task with sub-tasks which have been split to new task;
Cannot define Project Stage by user;
Same set of Labels are commonly used in different fields, causing users hard to choose, and the labels become meaningless.

Simplified project management
Reviewed on 25/9/2019
I'm generally very happy with Forecast. It receives frequent updates and the UI/UX is constantly getting better. I can't see us using anything else anytime soon.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Great application for time and task management.
Reviewed on 25/1/2019
As a developer keeping track of time spent and tasks aren't always a natural instinct. Forecast has made it more intuitive or easier than other apps to deal with this. I can fulfill my time/task management responsibilities in a quick enough manner so as to not disrupt my workflow too much and keep my project managers happy. I'm happy using Forecast, gets the job done.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
