Chose Autodesk Forma
Procore is more in depth but it is easy to get lost navigating the system. Forma is more simple and easy to understand. It also feels more like Microsoft's way of navigating which is more familiar to people getting on it for the first time. ALso procore does not have a plan …
Chose Autodesk Forma
I didn't select Forma; we are forced to use what the Architects and General Contractors set up for a given project. There is really no alternative to the cloud model hosting aspect of what Forma does, but for documents, I would not use it if given the choice.

It is well suited in helping the team analyze plan changes for change orders. It is good for plan file organization and keeping the entire team on the same page. It is not well suited for adding the client to the project as sometimes it can be too much information for them

Usability
Autodesk
Because it is very user friendly and it also adapts the software to the device...

I also like that theres versions of the software that are on our desktop or ipad, so when we have a network failure we are still able to do the majority of our work
