Visual and complete understanding of your teams
What do you like best about the product?
multiple views of the projects and teams, easy to change the data and visual reports
What do you dislike about the product?
the project view is not very intuitive, and somehow I have to review the project plan and ther person by person to really make sure i'm not forgetting anything
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily see how is working on what and who has capacity to take on more work
Float Makes Planning Easy, But Project Access Could Be Smoother
What do you like best about the product?
Float has revolutionised the way we work in terms of forward planning and capacity planning. It's been great. We can see ahead and pivot if needs be. It was really easy to set up and use, the whole team are using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to request access to a project if you're not already added to it rather than having to message that team member separately. Having that little feature would save time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float solved our forward planning issues. Previously we used Monday and it was difficult to see what projects were coming up and move them if needs be. Float gives us a view of the days/weeks/months ahead and allows us to plan time in effectively. Each Monday we sit down and look at the week ahead and it's so simple to move things around. I especially love the fact that we can assign a budget to a project/task and monitor that as the work progresses.
Great for Scheduling, But Navigation Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to see my company's staffing and easily update my schedule each day
What do you dislike about the product?
I find some of the navigation a bit tricky (e.g., as I scroll through the team, the page will jump and oftentimes I don't land on the actual day I need to fill out). I also think the scheduled vs. logged views are sometimes confusing to figure out the budgeting (especially because I don't have access to the budget). I also don't like the emails every time someone updates a project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easier for me to log my hours and see approximately how much time I am spending over the week on a project
Excellent UX and Interface, but API Integration Could Be Improved
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience is excellent. All elements are easy to see, and navigating between the various pages and menus is straightforward. The overall look and feel of the interface is also impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it's great that there is an API available for implementing integrations, we found that it was missing some specific features that would have been very helpful for fully connecting all our systems. This isn't necessarily a negative point, but having more comprehensive API access for integration with other systems would be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool makes it much easier to plan out our work for the entire week, and it streamlines time tracking since we can log our hours directly from our schedules. I also appreciate how simple it is to see, at a glance, which team members are assigned to which projects thanks to the clear overview.
User-Friendly and Efficient Task Management with Float
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Float is its user-friendly interface and accessibility. It provides a clear and efficient way to understand assigned tasks, and the use of color coding makes it easy to distinguish and organize different tasks effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I find less favorable about Float is that it can sometimes feel limited in customization options, especially when managing complex schedules or projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps solve the problem of managing and organizing workloads efficiently. It provides a clear overview of team schedules, task assignments, and project timelines, which reduces confusion and overlapping responsibilities. This benefits me by improving time management, enhancing collaboration, and ensuring that tasks are completed in an organized and timely manner.
Intuitive Platform with Fast Support, but Holiday Requests Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
First of all it's a really well designed platform and it looks nice to use. I can easily see my schedule for the week and I don't have to spend any longer than I need to filling out time sheets. It does everything you need it to from a user perspective. Also the customer support is usually very quick. If you're feeling ambitious you can drag events from your calendar (though I haven't done so).
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest thing is putting in holiday time. It's quite fiddly to work out how to ask for holiday and see how much I have left. That's the biggest bugbear for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'd say it's easy to see what everyone is working on - the general dashboard is great. I can also easily see when people have time off. It's good for time tracking as well - it makes it as easy as possible for people to log their hours.
Great for Team Scheduling, But User Management Needs Work
What do you like best about the product?
It’s particularly helpful as a centralized source of truth for team availability and project scheduling. Having a consolidated overview helps in coordinating activities and preventing over-allocations or gaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user management experience could be improved. For instance, when a user is archived, they still appear in the dropdown menus for project allocation. This creates confusion, increases the risk of planning errors, and requires unnecessary manual checks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I appreciate the clear visual interface, which provides a quick overview of the team’s workload and simplifies resource allocation across projects. The graphical layout is an effective tool for short to mid-term planning.
Great Analytics and Team Overview, Needs Smoother Entry Change Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
There is a good overview of all team members and projects with useful filters and color codes. I especially like the analysis functions with evaluation of what percentage of time is billable. As a consulting agency, this is a useful KPI for predicting revenue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would be happy if there was a workflow for changes of entries included, that the project manager can approve, because communicating necessary adjustments to our responsible administrators is bothering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See what team members have availability for a new project, see who is over-planned and needs support
Simplified Project Management with Room for Reporting Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I find Float incredibly easy to use after the initial setup phase, which was a bit challenging initially. Once past that, it became very straightforward to handle. I appreciate how Float has made project tracking much simpler for my team compared to our previous tool. It was difficult to track every project in our previous app, but with Float, it is easier for us to track each project individually. The timeline adjustment feature is particularly useful, allowing me to slide left and right to adjust the timeline of a project. This feature makes it much easier to manage project timelines efficiently. Additionally, I find exporting Excel sheets from Float to amend with our internal system very helpful. This capability makes it a seamless part of our workflow. Overall, my positive experience with Float is reflected in my willingness to purchase it again for our company and the high likelihood that I would recommend it to others, giving it a nine out of ten.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the setup process for Float initially challenging, particularly compared to the interface I was previously used to. It's frustrating to not fully understand the project reporting in Float, especially regarding working hours versus overtime. This makes it difficult to discern whether overtime is included in the schedule, which I find quite frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Float makes project tracking easier for my team, allowing us to track each project individually without mess. It's also user-friendly once set up, and I appreciate the ease of adjusting project timelines.
Effortless Scheduling and Clarity, But Needs Better Integrations and Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
It’s really easy to use and makes it simple to see who’s working on what. I like how clear the schedule looks and how quick it is to move things around. It helps a lot with planning and keeping everyone on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels a bit limited when trying to connect it with other tools or go into more detail on projects. I wish there were more options for reporting and filtering tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps me keep track of everyone’s workload and plan projects without confusion.
