Float, one of the best tools we currently use.

What do you like best about the product?
Kudos to you guys! I love the newer faster Float! You are making my job much easier & faster. Love the faster navigating/scrolling and the changing of a task’s time by scrolling on the schedule up or down beats the hell out of having to open the task and do it from there.
Love the new feature that you can hover over the work task and the notes appear without having to open the task.

Great job, keep it up!
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to be able to move a task to the afternoon (or lower in the cell) for a day where it is not a full days worth of hours and there is nothing else for that employee that day. Example, I have a technician on a 4 hour training course and it is in the afternoon. He has nothing else scheduled that day but I can't move the task lower in the cell so it looks like it is scheduled for the morning. It would be nice if you could hover over the "Time off" cells and see the notes associated with it , like you can for a work task, without having to open the "time off" cell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use a HUGE white board and dry erase markers for our schedule. We thought that this was the best way for us to tackle our job scheduling and Float was met with a bit of resistance once the boss said we were going to try it.
WOW, were we wrong. I would never look back now that we are using Float. One of the best tools we ever used. We are scheduling anywhere from 18 to 26 techs on this program and I fully encourage anyone even thinking of possibly trying out a program for scheduling to do your self a favor and try out Float. I'd be shocked if your not impressed by it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to schedule, reschedule and move projects around. This allows us to always see what our capacity is and where we might need to divert resources. The team always knows what they should be working on and what is upcoming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to split projects or change details. And the mobile experience isn't that great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling is much easier and doesn't take as long.

Finally -- time management that works for project managers and visual designers

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I (as a project manager) can manage time easily for our team of two, but can easily add contract workers, and that visually it works for my designer as well -- he struggled with really seeing how his week needed to flow when just using tasklists, like Basecamp.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anything I haven't liked has been added (e.g. ability to do recurring tasks, reordering tasks). It's a small thing, but we also spend way too much time trying to figure out colors for all of our projects after using the default ones. I would love to be able to add a project from the schedule interface -- like when I go to schedule time and I type in a project, it tries to find it; if it's not there, it would be nice to just have "add this project" without having to exit out of the scheduling box and go into Project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to easily plan and then communicate on our respective tasks for the week. With Basecamp (what we use for project management currently), we could pull to-do lists, but we didn't have a macro view on the week or the month with the time that it would take to complete those tasks. My designer felt like he couldn't really "'visualize" his week and couldn't communicate easily what tasks were taking more or less time than needed. Float has proved to be invaluable for time management and communication.

A great purpose-built tool which helps solve a huge problem in agencies.

  • January 17, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the simplicity of this tool. It doesn't take much to set up and only asks you for as much information as it needs in order to be useful. Because it is assumed that the tool will be updated frequently, there isn't a lot of extra data points that are required to set up a person's schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some ways the tool can feel a bit stiff or limited. Because it's built to really do one thing well-- scheduling, new users might look for other features like time tracking or dependencies which are found in similar project planning tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to plan out multiple projects with a small team and determining when work can start and get done. We are able to see who is available to work on things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the free trial and make sure you have full details around the exact problem you are trying to solve with this product and not try to solve too many with one solution, as this product does one thing really well.

As easy as it can be!

What do you like best about the product?
It might not be the most resourceful tool to manage roadmaps but it excels on what it does. Easy to use and since the last update it's great performance-wise.

The shortcuts are one of my preferred features as it helps me to perform simple tasks effortlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have a couple of additional resources/features such as integrations with popular team management tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an Agency, one of our challenges it's to always stay on top of the resources allocation over a myriad of projects. With Float we are able to do that with little effort.
