Agency PM Review of Float
What do you like best about the product?
It's straight forward and easy to use. It's also very scalable and can be utilized by small or large organizations
What do you dislike about the product?
Float is missing a copy and paste function! The program also crashes from time to time and can be slow to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resourcing and capacity planning has become a lot more streamlined now that resources within our organization are shared more broadly.
Best resource management tool I have used
What do you like best about the product?
1. Can see allocation per user, multiple users, or per project
2. When I go to the reports tab, my schedule tab choice is retained
3. Reports are per project or per user and for a flexible time frame
4. Editing allocation is easy

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workload Management with Float
What do you like best about the product?
So easy and intuitive! Very quick set-up. The program does exactly what we hoped it would do - help us manage our workload.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to make everyone a Manager, so they can make changes. It would be nice if there are more level of access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to know what staff is working on, make changes on the fly, and monitor priorities of workload. If there is too much work for one person, it's easy to add tasks to someone else to alleviate the burden.
Easy to use and simple
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there isn't a learning curve for using the software, it's self-explanatory. Does what we need it to do for managing our team's capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I try to do something but it doesn't allow that specific action. Maybe could be more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us manage our team's capacity and forecast resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
None.
A really interesting tool
What do you like best about the product?
Used in addition to Toggle and we get an effective combination
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time some bugs but what software is perfect?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Effective communication, we know who does what
Float is a great tool for scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I love the visual aspects of Float; it makes it easy to see where our team is and which client they are working for on any given day.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is honestly not much to dislike, but sometimes I wish it took fewer clicks to assign a particular category or client to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps us keep a birds-eye view of where our staff is, and what their calendar looks like in the near future.
Floats my boat
What do you like best about the product?
Fantastic modern and sleek UI. Great UX too
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't used it long enough to get stuck (yet)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Oversight of all company resourcing is extremely helpful.
Not built for lots of projects happening at once
What do you like best about the product?
1. The intention of the tool is very helpful and it is probably amazing for smaller groups with limited projects.
2. Color coding of projects/teams/clients is helpful.
2. Color coding of projects/teams/clients is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. The interface is not obvious; features are hard to find.
2. You have to navigate between different tabs to enter information for a single project. You should be able to add projects & people from a single view. And deleting something from one tab does not carry over to another (e.g., deleting someone from a project in the Schedule does not delete them from the project team).
3. You cannot see the roll up of how over allocated someone is without trying to figure out the reports for a single person. This is incredibly frustrating for our large team with a lot of projects going on at once. The red area is not a good indication when you can hardly see it behind the projects. The row views are also quite small, which hinders this being noticeable. Then you have to do the math to see the number of hours over. Other tools we have used will give percentages for allocations and overages.
4. A single project does not take a horizontal view to scan across weeks/months, as you add new projects each week the view changes and makes it very difficult to scan.
5. You cannot specify what time off is for - would be helpful to be able to track out of the office time based on conference or vacation or maternity leave or another reason.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to manage a team of designers across multiple offices, clients and project work, but I cannot say we are completely solving that problem with Float without frustration.

What do you like best about the product?

Lots of features
Well designed API

What do you dislike about the product?
Really bad performance of the website make using Float a really pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More visibility for the entire company on the staffing.
Super simple to use, clear and colourful.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to see what my team is working on without having to chase them down or click on individual profiles.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may already exist and I am just not using it to its full capacity but I would like to have external links in each section. Our briefs are on a separate website and it would be easier to use if my team could click and see what they are working on and link directly to that brief.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clearly seeing how much time we are working on each client by using the colour coded tool is very useful. Without having to open each 'ticket' up I can easily see how is working on what and who is in that day.
