What differentiates Forecast from other similar products?

This application stands out from others in that it can be used with a reasonable amount of ease, it is jam-packed with capabilities that can be of great aid, and the user interface that it boasts is quite appealing to me. All of these factors contribute to the program's ability to stand out.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best element about Forecast is the user interface. Adding new projects, allocating resources, and designating team members is a breeze. It works well with the rest of our sales process as well. Completing time sheets is also simple.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As far as I can tell, Forecast isn't conducive to agile practices. While I'm aware that sprints can be activated, my experience with managing agile projects has been less than stellar.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I like this software because of its straight forward user interface. I also appreciate it when the scope of projects is clearly defined. Adding position indicators for people is quite helpful. I love this program and highly recommend it.
