With Forest Admin it has become extremely easy to moderate our customer base. Now we can see and modify all our data in real time straight from our admin panel.

Maxime Sraïki
VP Tech @ BAM (Theodo Group)

As an architect, I have developed 10+ admin panels with open-source frameworks and third-party solutions like Forest Admin. My preference now goes to Forest Admin both when I want to create a quick MVP for personal projects and when I need to build a strong internal tool with high security, audit trails and the ability for operations to customize their tool autonomously.

Forest Admin saved us hours of design, development, and maintenance. I can’t imagine the tool we’d be using today if we had to develop it ourselves.
