This does not help when the client needs help from the customer to access their account. Cons The portal could be a bit more dynamic with the categories in it Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Software Engineer Marketing and Advertising ### "Happy Engineer!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 25, 2019 My experience with Forest Admin has been spectacular. While exploring Forest Admin as a potential option for my company roughly a year or so ago, I was given prompt answers to any questions that I had. I was even able to talk with an engineer from Forest over a phone call for direct technical answers. Pros How plug and play it is. We have a Postgres DB and had absolutely no issues with setting up our development and production environments. A CMS that would have taken us months to build was available to us in minutes! Cons Another team at my company was unable to use this software because their DB instances were spread out amongst different AWS regions. As far as we could tell, Forest Admin could not support that sort of DB architecture. Alternatives considered [Retool](https://www.capterra.com/p/186115/Retool/) [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) Reasons for choosing Forest Admin For us, the ease of plug & play plus the flexibility of Smart Actions and Smart Views sold us.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 14, 2019 Thanks Paolo for your review! Super stoked to hear that you were able to use Forest Admin to build dashboard for your startup investors! LV Laurent V. CTO Computer Software ### "I don't start a new software project without installing Forest Admin anymore" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 9, 2019 Forest Admin lets a tech team provide a fully functional back-office to their operations team in seconds. Pros This software has been part of my default stack for any new software project since I discovered it 3 years ago, while it was still in early development. Our operations team at Briq use it daily to answer questions and solve customer issues. The Forest support team is super responsive. The product improves daily and they listen a lot to customers for feature requests. Contrary to what happens with a custom coded admin interface, Forest Admin allows us to offer a splendid experience to our operations team without investing too much resources. Even better, thanks to Forest Admin, our admin interface becomes better over time while our developers can focus on customer facing improvements. Cons Forest is super customizable so you can achieve almost anything by coding a custom Smart Action/View/Collection/... but I would really like some bulk editing capabilities to be added out of the box. Reasons for choosing Forest Admin The alternative would be to develop our own back-office functionalities. This would end up costing a lot of resources for a result that would be inferior and would require some maintenance over time. A no brainer to me. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 16, 2019 Thank you, Laurent, for helping us to improve our product! Being able to bulk edit records out of the box is indeed a great feature. Let me add this to our product roadmap . SL Saad L. Ops & Business Analyst Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Practice software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 9, 2019 It's a good experience for me like a Ops and business analyst sometimes i need a short list to check some information with another tools, that's why i like all the possibilities of filters in Forest Pros it's easy to use and the possibility of using a lot of filters Cons some crash when i want to export a list of users. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 12, 2019 Hey Saad, thanks for the review!

Co-founder Retail ### "Excellent set up for our company" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 4, 2019 It's saved us a ton of time vs building our own dashboard! Pros Easy to get started, gives us a great visualisation on our data and allows non technical staff to view and edit data. Cons For us on MongoDB at least, you have to set up the relationships between your data manually, which means you have to add code. The graphs and views are a little restrictive for our needs. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 14, 2019 Thanks a lot for your positive feedback and glad to hear we helped you save time! We've actually documented how to set up the relationship to help you get up and running quicker: https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/relationships#adding-relationships AU Anonymous User CTO Information Technology and Services ### "Forest Admin is a nice back office tool" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 3, 2019 Good tool to let team members browse data and use some small functions as a UI for internal tools. Pros Can host my own API so I can limit the API behind VPN. Smart action allows extension of functions easily. Cons Login (especially Google SSO) seems a bit erratic at times. Need to input password even after Google SSO. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AL Arthur L. CTO Entertainment ### "I will never develop another backoffice" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 2, 2019 Pros It's so easy to get started, it just scan your database and it's ready for use. Cons Still missing a few features, but Forest roadmap is public, you can upvote the next features you need. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 14, 2019 Very nice of you Arthur!

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 2, 2019 Hey Ilya, thanks for the review! Glad to hear to Forest helps you save time and ressources. Mobile support is definitely on our roadmap. YK Yotam K. Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Forest Admin review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 17, 2019 Really great. Works well, and for every issue I found they either had solution ready or at the process of addressing it internally and reporting back on a fix. Pros Easy of use, features and support. They really identified a crucial need and offers a real solution. Cons It is a complex system and still going through stabilization processes. I can definitely see it in 6 months time reaching a solid state of performance where all the issues have been cleared out and it just works out of the box regardless of your setup. Must admit that it is already kinda there, depends on the specifics of your setup you might find yourself hitting some issues but the support offered by them is second to none. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 14, 2019 Thanks Yotam for your review!

Operations Specialist Computer Software ### "Great Experience " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 June 6, 2019 I have really enjoyed my experience with forest admin. I have been continuously amazed by how easy it is to adapt the program to my needs. I feel like I have tried and will continue to try new ways of sorting and collecting my data, just because it is so simple. Pros Program scales very well, we have gone from a few local users to 30+ with some working remotely and there has never been an issue. Integration through the API is incredibly easy and the examples available through the help and community are a life saver. Cons It would be really nice if I could link a collaboration note between multiple data environments. It may ultimately be possible to do this, but I have not been able to figure it out. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Hey Chris, Thanks a lot for your review!

Head of Acquisition Environmental Services ### "So powerful ! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 6, 2019 Our business is quite special because you buy (and not sell) products. Lots of softwares are available but Forest is the only one you can shape for your needs, even if they are really specific. It can adapt to any situation. Pros You can achieve so much in a short time ! We organized our data base and created smart actions on the first day ! Cons Even it's really user firendly, you need to know a lot about coding before starting. Also, the dashboard section does not allow you to duplicate in an easy way your reports. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Hey Alice, Thanks a lot for your review.

CEO Internet ### "Forest Admin : great for start ups !" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 6, 2019 I can manage my website users, the ads and sales creations. forest is like the "skeleton" of my website ! Pros It's easy to use, especially if you're not a developper ! And I know what I'm talking about :) You can configure it regarding your needs (or ask your dev to do it for you) It is RELIABLE and the latest upgrades where useful Cons The admin panel could be a bit more beautiful and cheerful but at least it's clear. I would sometimes need to ad new photos in the existing sales but I don't know how to do it because it's not a file but a code line... Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Thanks a lot Julie! With our large free offering and dynamic pricing, we indeed try to be a go-to partner for both side-projects and startups and growing scale-ups. OZ Oren Z. CTO Retail ### "Excellent dashboard for mongoose users" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 6, 2019 Great, some of the layout design is hard to learn, but once you get used to it this dashboard is a very powerful tool. Pros Very easy to plug-in. Very useful by the non-programmers in our team that could not handle alternative solutions like robo3t. Cons Smart views require knowledge in Ember - not a very common platform. My team would like to see something like "React" in the future. Pre-save mongoose hooks are ignored by forestadmin "save" operations. There should be an option to download and save layouts (maybe as json files?) and configure the dashboard to automatically load the layout on reboot, so for example when I release a staging version to production, the production layout will be updated automatically. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Thanks a lot for your review! We indeed aim to also empower non-programmers in your team. Regarding the Smart Views, we are working to be able to support React as a platform soon! We will reach out to you for your feedback for your insights are very valuable. Brieuc L.

It's straightforward for non-developers to use, works quickly and any issues are resolved speedily. One of the best systems I've used. Cons The font sizing is a tad small, but nothing that can't be solved with a zoom. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 14, 2019 Thank you so much for your review Jessica!

Co-founder & CTO Computer Software ### "Promising solution for an admin panel" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 22, 2018 Forest has become an important tool in the day-to-day workflow of our company. It's a shame there are some technical issues but I'm confident they can fix those. Pros For one, the zero-configuration is awesome. In our case, we installed the gem into our Rails app and the interface was immediately populated with all the records in our app. Secondly, the smart actions provide invaluable customization that has become crucial for the productivity of our support team. Those two are the biggest strengths of Forest. Cons Technically the platform is somewhat unstable. Small things break fairly often and also the user interface does not feel smooth. I expect them to iron out those things in the future. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Thanks a lot Yoran for your review! That instant wow effect is indeed something we aim for. The past few months we managed to significantly improve the stability of the platform - hope you like it! JC Jacob C. Head of Product Education Management ### "Great expierence" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 3, 2018 For my operationally intense company, I needed a tool for the different teams to be able to access the core data of our platform, and make workflows without burdening the development team. Pros It is just amazing that I can just plug Forest onto my database and instantly get a back-office that would take my months to develop myself. Cons There are some features that could be refined such as for instance the approval workflow, but the team is really reactive on these matters. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 7, 2019 Thanks a lot for your review! Great to read that you are a fan of Forest Admin.
