Managers love it!

  • February 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The managers use float to quickly understand what tasks the analysts have on their plate. If you're in an industry like mine, goals and priorities can shift at the drop of a hat. Float provides a great solution to getting all hands on deck without completely disrupting normal flow of work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some improvements could be made to inputting calendar data. The site lacks intuitive controls which could bring it on par with a modern cell phone app, or if it has them it doesn't do a great job of explaining the hotkeys.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for my managers to use. They look at it once a week to assess workloads for the week, and during emergencies to pull hands on deck
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float provides an approach to quickly assess an entire company's workflow. This provides managers with an excellent tool to receive a potential emergency and attack it with the entire resources of the company, if need be. On a more ordinary basis, Float simply gives our managers a tool to view what the analysts are doing, while also serving its purpose as a public calendar.

What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple it looks. I get an instant overview of my day/week with a minimal number of clicks.

Could improve their accessibility a bit; e.g. task modal text element colour contrast isn't great.

I often work on multiple different projects in a given day, so having a scheduling solution like this is really indispensable. Definitely helps when I'm filling out timesheets as well!

Review

  • February 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to see what work I've got for the day, week and month. I can easily see other people's work and that allows me to adjust accordingly, it's easy to assign work to others. I enjoy the automated emails that show me the work for the week ahead as I can go through it as a part of my morning routine through my emails.

It's better than alternative tools for work scheduling primarily in it's design and features.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to say in regards to disliking the product, it does what it says and more; it's a good product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float allows our company, specifically the developers, to see what work we've got and for what clients. It shows it in a nice format and comes with features that help, like being able to select multiple users and seeing their individual floats in one screen on the same layer so I can see what everyone's Monday looks like. It makes collaboration significantly easier and makes our workflow a lot better.

Overall Float provide the tools and means to make mine and our teams work-life a lot better, it makes understanding the work we have easier, it allows us to easily delegate that work and see what other people have going on and it allows the project managers to understand what's happening which makes our daily stand-ups more manageable. It's a great tool for agile development teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a business with a development team, especially if using Agile, then I'd highly recommend Float as it provides all the tools you need to perform well and stay on top of project work.

Float offers a great way of planning your week when working on multiple different projects. It helps you keep track of your workload and enables you to plan ahead very concretely and punctually.

When there are many different projects the company is working on, it is sometimes difficult to properly distinguish between them.
