Inspired scheduling tool with beautiful UX
What do you like best about the product?
Float is a really nice piece of software to use. Great attention has been paid to the UX, making efficient use of screen real estate, infinite scrolling in all directions, nice layout and an amazing search and filter toolbar. It's very easy to learn to use and although the design is simple, there is some clever logic going on that optimises your workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real complaint is that (at least in the version we're using) it's not possible to lock down values in lookups. This results in inconsistent use of fields, making it difficult to analyse the data across projects and teams. For example you cannot set up a global task list, so each time you create a project you have to define the task types again and try to keep them consistent with your other projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have around 100 people working on around 20 projects at any time. Many of these people work across multiple projects simultaneously. It's difficult to plan your capacity and delivery timescales in such an environment, but Float makes this about as easy to do and as transparent as it could be. Bravo!
managing my design team
What do you like best about the product?
Float lets me forecast hiring for my team, balance workload among team members, and block schedules for project manager visibility
What do you dislike about the product?
The selection/moving functionality on Float is pretty touchy and since undo functionality feels hit or miss, it can get a bit frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resourcing for agency-side work is a huge business problem we try to solve every day. Float helps me see how billable we can be.

Contextual decisions being able to see your workload on the context of your team’s workload
What do you like best about the product?
The dual view mode and the Skill tags function are winners. You can view the team’s overall project workload and timeframes and you can see everyone’s availability at a glance, while individually you can view your own workload and make contextual decisions. The Skill tags function is neat in choosing which team member is the best fit for the task. The hovering function is very neat too — not having too open work tasks for notes for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
Should the admin person not be available, try to anticipate it so that changes can be made to the scheduled tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Float to be a flexible scheduling tool that allows you to slice, dice and manage tasks, assignments and timeframes. It gives the team transparency as you can view the team's workload at a glance and assign or shift tasks between team members as the project rolls out. If someone gets swamped out, you can act and tailor as you go. Project management made easy. No sweat.
Float - Quick and Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility it provides in moving tasks from one person to another - the drag and drop feature is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can tend to get laggy especially if you have a lot of people loaded onto the system. Also I don't like the fact on the notes you can't press enter to go onto the next line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of moving resource around and the reporting capabilities.

Jacks Float review
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy and simply designed interface and software, I like the way it can keep a mass of information but all of which is easily found if needed. Specific people places and times just moments away. A super useful resourcing tool for us here.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be quite honest I've only been using the software for about 3 months and so far I haven't found anything that has caused me any annoyance or dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I'm used as a resource which is booked on various different jobs each week it allows those booking my time in to do it with ease and for me to organise my weeks before they start by quickly going through whats been booked in when looking specifically at my time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it!
