What do you dislike about the product?
No ability to create task dependencies which makes it very time consuming to push out linked tasks when delays occur in timelines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving resourcing conflicts through this tool. Being able to accurately forecast staffing needs over coming months has been a major benefit for staffing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely one of the best resourcing tools I have used across several agencies in the last 10 years. My previous agency used Float and I am pleased that my new agency also uses this tool. Highly recommend!

Float review
What do you like best about the product?
The most useful thing about Float is the website layout which is because its so simple. It's effective because it's easy to see and find out the schedule information quickly without wasting time clicking around.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am yet to find something I dislike about Float except that sometimes it logs me out regularly without needing to, meaning I have to log back in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As my team work across loads of different briefs and jobs, Float makes it so easy for me to see who is working on what and where everyone will be each day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a big team this is perfect to organise everyone effectively
Great tool for collaborative PMO
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is a great way for the resource to be allocated and for the Project Management team to do forecasting for projects. It allow us to dispatch task and make sure the resources know what they need to work on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is only few things that are not great with Float. It is, for exemple, difficult to plan tasks without ressources assigned to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allow us to have visibility and make forecasting for hiring and signing new mandates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool if you're sharing a pool of resources with multiple managers (project team, team lead, consulting etc.) it allow you to have visibility on the resources workload and decide who should work on certain new projects based on their time available.
Good but there are space for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Overall, it is very easy to input project and hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are project report and people report that are provided by Float. But I feel like there isn't a bridge to connect people and project. In many situations, we want to see what kinds of projects that people are working on. For example, for person A, we want to see a report that show for this week, A is working on project B for 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week, project C for 2 hours a day, 10 hours a week and project D for 2 hours a day, 10 hours a week, etc. If you can connect project and people, that would be very helpful for us to plan resource and estimate the cost for every project/client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to use float API to connect people with project by myself, this is helpful for my company to plan resource and estimate profitability. But if float can provide more features so I don't need to do it by myself that's better!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really need to connect with people and project!!
Useful for scheduling

--easily accessible as a new user
--good transparency on what team members are working on
--good transparency on what team members are working on
What do you dislike about the product?
--It is un-intuitive to a new user how to enter "Tasks" vs. "Time-off" vs. "Status"
--The "Time-off" option when adding a new block is not very visible; I found myself having trouble to find it when I only looked for it every 1.5 months or so; needs a better UI for that
--The "Time-off" option when adding a new block is not very visible; I found myself having trouble to find it when I only looked for it every 1.5 months or so; needs a better UI for that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to assign staff to certain projects, based on availability. It helps a lot given we have short-term 1-5 day assignments, as well as longer 1-6 month projects.

Clear, concise project-based time reporting
What do you dislike about the product?
Could be improved with the addition of a time tracking timer

Internal use for estimated scheduling, followed by updates after the fact to reflect the time spent on customer projects
