Float is a useful tool to help organize out Team schedule
What do you like best about the product?
Float helps our team to plot and track current and new projects, to track and manage time, as well monitoring project budgets.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great to have an edit feature for logged time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team project schceduling and personal time management.
Overall positives!
What do you like best about the product?
Outside of the platforms ability to integrate relatively easy, I think that the ability customize colors is really beneficial for clarity.
What do you dislike about the product?
This might be something that is possible to adjust and I may not be aware of it, but I find it quite frustrating that other members of the team can adjust time allocation that I have put in without me approving on it. It would be great if there was more of an approval process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float solves a lot of our challenges with resource allocation across a number of complex projects.
Simple and Effective Time Tracking and Scheduling Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Float offers us the scheduling and time tracking capabilities of other platforms such as Smartsheet Scheduling (formerly 10,000ft) without the bloat or extra costs of these larger suites. For a smaller team, it provides everything we need, and nothing we don't.
The customer support team were excellent during the on boarding process. We were even able to discuss a couple of feature requests and were glad to hear they were already in the works.
I am now using Float to plan out my teams work over the two week sprints. We all then use it to clock our time daily. The reporting feature is fantastic to keep an eye on project budgets and analyse where any issues around workload or deadlines might arise.

What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few of best features are hidden without any documentation or tutorial on them (such as holding shift and clicking on a time entry will allow you to duplicate it), and some have to work in a specific way to get right. But it's still a new product and evolving all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we were only doing time tracking with no real way to analyse the data. Now we can use Float to not only track our time, but analyse it against project budgets, forecast work to see if we calculating those budgets correctly, and easily present the teams workloads to upper management.
Float helps me to effectively manage my schedule
What do you like best about the product?
Float helps me to effectively manage my schedule, as well as to delegate tasks, in a way that Outlook alone simply doesn't allow for
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit slow at times, and a bit buggy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps me to prioritise tasks based on urgency and budget
Senior designer
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience, how it made my working week smoother and more effective
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can think of specifically. Maybe the price? It could be cheaper.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using float for over a year now and we can see the impact that has had on our team. More transparency and clearer plan for the week.
Easy and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Lightweight and easy to use interface which is crucial for a tool I use daily. It has all the features I need for tracking time across team members and quickly identifying capacity. Including float in our workflow was straightforward and we were supported during onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I can think of at the moment. It would be great if there was an easy way to integrate with google calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking and reporting time and identifying unused capacity. Easy resource allocation for new projects.
Planning is good, logging not
What do you like best about the product?
I like the planning tool the most. As a developer I always see directly on which project I'm planned on
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the logging. It is difficult to adjust the start time if you forgot to push the start button. Further, the two types of logging hinder each other. For example, if you push the start button, then you see the old suggested logging time still in the popup window.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier we used Excel for the planning which was really difficult to use. Float is much better. Further, the roles (planning, customer) within the company are better visualised and more usable.
Easy resource planning and management
What do you like best about the product?
You have all the necessary tools at your fingertips and it is easy to manage. You don't need specialized training
What do you dislike about the product?
Leave management is not very developed, but you manage with what exists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and resource management of a 7 person team.
Where I go, Float goes
What do you like best about the product?
Float makes resourcing and scheduling clear and simple. You can see at a glance who has capacity and who doesn't.
Logging time is more efficient as it's an easy button push rather than filling out spreadsheets!

What do you dislike about the product?
Some fetaures are more geared toward longer running projects will minimal phases or tasks. Not all projects are as liniar so having options that are geared toward shorter/multiple projects with more tasks/stages would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple teams and projects, this simplifies who's on what task for what project per day. Everyone has the same view and can access clearly laid out information.
Have introduced Float in my new job to manage resource planning better
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the clear UI with drag & drop, easy tool to plan out resources and see them at a glance, it gives our developers a better idea f what they're supposed to work on and when, very good customer support with short response times, it's very easily set up, it has become an essential tool that we use daily in my team
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to create a new task in a project as I add the time to someone's schedule. I don't love the extra step of going to the project first to add it there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we used Float we haven't planned our resrouces ahead of time so it has helped us visualise resource availability as well as capacity.
