User Testimonials
	Autodesk Forma	Vertex G4Plant
Likelihood to Recommend	Autodesk 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 Incentivized Robert Brown Senior PM Read full review	Vertex Systems No answers on this topic
Pros	Autodesk Cloud model access. Easy collaboration between users in different locations. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Vertex Systems No answers on this topic
Cons	Autodesk Stop renaming the product (BIM 360, BIM Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Construction Cloud). A desktop app would be nice. Verified User Read full review	Vertex Systems No answers on this topic
Usability	Autodesk Because it is very user friendly and it also adapts the software to the device... For example , iPads are more Superintendent friendly and the desktop version is more useful for PM and Project Engineers. 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 Incentivized Robert Brown Senior PM Read full review	Vertex Systems No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Autodesk 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.

Return on Investment	Autodesk It has allowed us to work with larger architectural firms. We have been able to coordinate earlier in the project life cycle and more often. Verified User Read full review	Vertex Systems No answers on this topic
