Float has a lot of report options. However, in our company, we always track the Earned value management for our projects. Currently, Float does not support this report. Then, we need to calculate it in an external software. We already got in touch with Float and it's on the track to be developed.

Project Management and full utilization
What do you like best about the product?
As a consultant, my job requires me to work on different projects at the same time. So planning for different customers with individual tasks is key to succeed in the IT world as a consultant. Since we are all scattered around Germany (mostly at a customer facility) the best part about Float is that the whole team can see where I am and for what customer I work at a specific time. That's key for the upper management to see who is available at what time and could work for a new customer. That's what's so great about float, the aspect that it works for a company with multiple projects and different customers at the same time. It is a tool to guarantee the full utilization of the whole team at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Float is perfect for the things we do with it. There is nothing that bothers me personally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float solves for us the problem of planning to reach a full utilization of the team.
Using float for roadmaps
What do you like best about the product?
I like the sleek, minimalistic UI. Which is easy to read, and pleasing to look at.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's disconnected from the other applications that we use, so it isn't in the natural flow of work to go to float and either allocate people or as a developer to check and see what you are assigned to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning for what devs do often seemed to chop and change throughout weeks, thoroughly frustrating devs. Float helped management put what developers were going to be doing down on paper and helped developers know what they were doing in the future as well as what their fellow team members were allocated to as well. However, some management have stopped updating Float with the resource allocation, so it doesn't seeem to have worked as
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float is a great tool if your company struggles to maintain a consistent resource plan.
