Humans, AI agents, and providers act in the same back-office, on the same records. And your data never leaves your systems. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 22 users. Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Forest 1\. Your data stays in your infrastructure. Forest runs client-hosted next to your databases, so customer data never leaves your systems. Customer records reach a provider only at the point of the call, and the response lands back in the case. No SaaS copy layer, no third-party data lake. 2. Humans and AI agents work the same cases. Build workflows or code actions once and give both your team and your AI agents access to them. AI handles the repetitive steps of KYC/KYB, AML, fraud, payment ops, disputes, and crypto compliance. Humans make the calls that matter. 3. One permission model for everyone, including AI. Reviewers, ops leads, BPO partners, and AI agents share the same roles, scopes, and approval gates. Two-person review applies. Per-jurisdiction scoping applies. No exceptions for being a robot. 4. A record-level audit trail your compliance team can defend. Every action a human or AI agent takes lands in a record-level audit log with reasoning traces for AI steps. SOC 2 certified, GDPR-aligned. The evidence layer your compliance team needs to demonstrate compliance to regulators. 5. Composable, not centralized. KYC vendors, screening lists, PSPs, custody partners, and AI models are all swappable. Forest reaches data through datasources and calls providers through MCP connectors. Switching a provider or model is a configuration change, not a workflow migration. 6. Open to your AI agents, under your rules. Forest's MCP server exposes data, schemas, actions, and workflows to Claude, GPT, or in-house AI agents. Each AI agent runs under a scoped role, and every prompt, tool call, and decision lands in the same audit trail your reviewers use. 7. Built for regulated fintechs. Teams at Belvo, Qonto, Raylo, Roundtable, Spendesk, Swan, and Modern Treasury rely on Forest to run secure, auditable, and scalable operations. Forest was previously known as Forest Admin.

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. > > 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. ----- ### "Happy Engineer\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maddison** | *25 July 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "I don't start a new software project without installing Forest Admin anymore" — 5.0/5 > **Laurent** | *9 July 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Forest Admin lets a tech team provide a fully functional back-office to their operations team in seconds. ----- ### "Excellent dashboard for mongoose users" — 5.0/5 > **Oren** | *6 June 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Great, some of the layout design is hard to learn, but once you get used to it this dashboard is a very powerful tool. ----- ### "Gold Standard" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 June 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How versatile and flexible Forest can be\! > > **Cons**: With lots of flexibility, sometimes it can be difficult to find the right information at the right time. I'm sure the UI/UX will continue to be improved in the future, though\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2060164/forest-admin?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2060164/forest-admin) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
