### "Great tool for the whole design phase"

January 31, 2017

4.0

Easy to use and to start a project. Great tool for the whole design phase in building construction or R&D projects. Also a very fast and on point support. Idea station listens great to their users. Would only like to see more integration with FormIt and other BIM 360 tools. Then it would be perfect.

Pros

That its a very cheap solution for building design collaboration. Which makes it a great option before winning a project. Also because of the easy to use viewer with sectioning and walk-through everyone can use w/o design skills.

Cons

Frequently buggy with C4R w/o fail save for the design team who are currently working. Account management isn't easy because you can't filter contributors and team members. Also you can't see who is in which project from the admin page. And you can edit MS Office files directly from BIM 360 Team, but can't save them back instantly.

### "Powerful program, has room for improvement."

January 31, 2017

4.0

I'm using BIM 360 field and glue for the first time with a new employer after using a competitor for years. I have no complaints about 360 glue, it has been extremely beneficial to my project. I have the following comments for BIM 360 field for document control. With the competitors software I could do the following that I have not been able to do with BIM 360 - drag and drop one large file and the software automatically split up the pages. I have to spend an enormous amount of time manually separating each file, cross checking the file names, and uploading with each revision. - the previous software automatically hyperlinked each cut section, this was EXTREMELY beneficial - the previous software would "overlay" new versions of drawings so that we could flip back and forth from previous versions of drawings from an ipad in the field. - the previous software had a "drag and drop" option of inserting and hyperlinking RFIs and supplemental information in each drawing sheet, it would also auto transfer these links to revised versions of the drawing.

Pros

Convenient access to drawings in the field.

Cons

much more time consuming, does not auto-separate drawings, does not auto-hyperlink

### "PlanGrid Yay or Nay "

July 16, 2019

5.0

PlanGrid made it really easy to pull up any drawing details anywhere I was as long as I had my Ipad, laptop and or phone. The field guys mentioned that this software helps them as well as they are always receiving the latest and greatest drawings.

Pros

PlanGrid is an excellent software for those who work both in the field and in the office. I like the fact that when you pull up your drawings in PlanGrid and go to a specific detail you can click on that detail number and it takes you exactly to that drawing. It will also show you all markups and you can do markups yourself and save them so whom ever is looking at them will see all the changes made and when they were made. This ensures that everyone is looking at the most recent drawings. You can also add pictures to a certain detail and include any notes affiliated with it.

Cons

I do not have any cons to this software only because when our drawings our downloaded to it everything I need to know is already there. I am sure those who implement these in the software may have cons.

### "PlanGrid"

November 7, 2018

5.0

Overall it is a great tool that is best used in its ios (apple) format.

Pros

The interface on iPad is very user friendly.

Cons

The PC desktop app could be much better. Not sure why this has to function so much differently from ios version.

5.0

Pros

It is easy to use, the pricing is great and it is extremely easy to learn and teach fellow co-workers.

Cons

Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM360 are used in ter changeably and are a bit confusing for us as users. Other than that everything is fantastic.

### "Easy to use, highly effective product"

April 12, 2019

5.0

PlanGrid allows us to keep all parties involved in a project on the same page and working off of a current set of documents. The construction industry is traditionally slow to adapt technology, but PlanGrid's simplicity has made it easy to implement on our projects and get buy-in from all users.

Pros

Ease of use. Non-technical users are able to pick up on the basics of this software in a matter of minutes.

Cons

PlanGrid is still working on adding some additional functionality to this product. Submittal tracking was recently added, and new functions are being added all the time. Competitors' softwares are more all-encompassing, but PlanGrid is catching up quickly.

5.0

Pros

utilizo este software ya que mi negocio está en construcción y el arquitecto encargado de la obra me muestra tanto planos y todo lo referente a esta . la mejor forma de estar al tanto de mi oficina y saber cual es su avance.

Cons

me gustaría que tuviera algún tipo de chat entre los usuarios de la cuenta y que tuviera algún tipo de espacio donde se pudiera trazar estando en conferencia con todos los usuarios y en tiempo real se pueda mirar lo que se esta trazando en este espacio

### "Good but needs a lot of improvement for the user experience"

March 20, 2019

4.0

Pros

Revit functionality is awesome. It doesn't feel like the files are stored in the cloud. Renaming files or moving them around does not require re-linking as the software manages all of that. Upgrading file versions is made super easy. Automatically publish files feature is a great add, but can use more options for flexibility.

Cons

The different modules are convoluted. Why is the data on document management interface rely on publishing in collaboration module? If I want to direct someone to download my file I have to publish first. What's the point of document management then if it just shows whats published in a different module? Why is it when someone needs to download one model they have to download all the linked files as well, as opposed to being able to get just the one they need? Why doesn't issue creation have associated markup tools? Conversely markups don't let you tag a person?

### "Fast and easy for use. "

May 4, 2018

5.0

This system speeds up our productivity on the projects.

Pros

Version tracking and online markup. We can also do issues and assign to the individuals for followup. The system will send the report and summary for the open issues.

Cons

Folder structure is not good enough. We can not sync the file/folder to local server. We cannot copy or move folder from one location to another.

### "Autodesk Construction Cloud"

February 21, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with this software is great no doubts about it.

Pros

What I liked most out of this software is that you can manage all of your projects in one place at one time.

Cons

What I liked least about this software is that sometimes it will crash and you have to restart whatever you were doing.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

I choose this one because it had all of the requirements I was looking for.

October 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

The efficiency of this software is good just Like Autodesk can do. Everything is at the right place and is easy to do (after a training)

### "Product works great!"

February 14, 2017

5.0

Outside of a few limitations the product works great! I look forward to updated versions. I think with a few minor adjustment this will be a product used by every company

Pros

Ease of use, my subcontractors can easily access plan at any point. Also when I update files, the subcontractors get notifications without me having to notify them.

Cons

I wish there was more of an option to set permission on a folder by folder basis. I'd like to be able to have information that my crews can access with having it available to everyone on the project directory.

### "PlanGrid a True Companion of the Modern Builder"

November 7, 2018

5.0

PlanGrid has transformed the organization of construction documents into an overall enjoyable experience. I cannot express how much I appreciate the ease of use and the ability to ensure that current documents are being utilized in the field to build from. In addition to the many available feature, the capacity to store multiple projects on my account is priceless. I cannot count how many times I have been able to respond to the requests of past clients in minutes no matter where I am. Finally the overlay feature, which I refer to as the "Equalizer" takes away the guessing game when it comes to seeing what really changed as drawing revisions are issued.

Pros

Functionality and ease of use. Having drawings at our fingertips and being able to quickly navigate a plan set via hyperlinks. Ability to annotate, post RFI's and submittal information.

Cons

Honestly, there is nothing that I don't like about this sofware.

### "Great Collaboration Tool"

August 28, 2020

5.0

I've been a user of this software for large projects with multiple trades and stakeholders and find it to be essential for coordination. It's great to be able to look through large models quickly rather than having to use Revit to open each one.

Pros

The ability to view and explore 3D models right in the browser as well as the ability to have the 2D sheet view in the corner of the screen to easily identity location within the model. I find the ability to view properties and layers very helpful when looking through models. Clean user interface.

Cons

It's not entirely intuitive. You do have to know a little about how the models are constructed with regards to elements if you are trying to show or hide certain items.

### "BIM 360!"

April 28, 2020

5.0

My firm was always setup to work remotely, but our file server (NAS device) does not allow a central model unless we are in the office. During our time under the state ordered shelter in place, we could not work as a team on a project; work was limited to one person at a time. With BIM 360, we are now fully connected and can workshare through the cloud!

Pros

The interactivity of BIM 360 is surprisingly intuitive and easy to set up. Access to our project files by all of our team members is seamless and easily accessed. The integration with the cloud file and Revit is well executed and works like a champ!

Cons

As with all Autodesk products, there are small quirks; for example, linking a Revit model in a Revit file was cumbersome, but once we figured it out through Google searches and Autodesk website forums it works nicely.

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

current Autodesk subscriber and believed the integration would be best for our firm.

Overall, we will continue to use PlanGrid and look forward to future improvements.

Pros

I like the expanding features. It is easy to use and the modules available make sense. It is easy to adapt to our construction needs.

Cons

We were recently looking for a software that could better handle the punch. The tasks section can handle it but it is a little clunky compared to some other platforms available. I would also like to see the ability to adjust view settings because everything is a white background. To me this makes it harder to view items quickly because text tends to get white washed.

Pros

The collaboration between each of the Autodesk software and all the platforms of BIM 360and the ease of access

Cons

At few instances, I face some bugs with the software like BIM 360 Glue which needs to be solved to make the users more comfortable to work.

### "Best Product for One Stop Shop Environment"

January 4, 2019

5.0

As I tend to be more involved with alternative project delivery methods, BIM 360 is providing an excellent environment to manage and deliver our product.

Pros

I love the fact that I can manage a project form start to finish. There are BIM 360 modules for everything from conceptual design to tools that can help with final punch out and commissioning.

Cons

I have used BIM 360 Field and Glue for many years and there are still some things that I have to rely on the legacy products to accomplish. I would like to see Autodesk bring the functionality of the legacy products up to speed with the next gen modules. Top on my priority list would be to bring equipment and auto issue creation into field management and also bring the ability to open model coordination models in Navisworks similar to 360 Glue.

### "Document Review"

January 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that its a one stop shop for our field and office. It holds the submittals, RFI's, drawings and information needed to communicate between the office and field.

Cons

The time it takes to upload documents, Heavy excel spreadsheets in the equipment tabs, and just exporting the information adding additional information and then importing seems to duplicate or not even update some of the information. Very time consuming when having to go back through a large spreadsheet to figure out what was upload and updated and what wasn't and then having to do it all over again.
