Easy to start with
What do you like best about the product?
An easy start for scheduling multiple people of multiple teams. Float gives a nice overview and had good reporting functionality
What do you dislike about the product?
Scheduling meetings for multiple people requires the meeting to be scheduled for each individual. Then when for example the meeting date changes all separate items need to be rescheduled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a day-to-day overview of or resources, including contractors. We started with Excel but that was hard. Float allowed us to set up an initial schedule for a few months in just hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to start with, at low costs
Float Review for Audio / Visual Studio
What do you like best about the product?
The feature that we as an audio / visual studio have found the most beneficial is the scheduling feature. This allows us as a team to assign and schedule tasks and projects, and allows each individual to keep track of what the need to complete by when and what is upcoming in the days and weeks ahead. By doing this everyone on the team can log into Float and see what it is each team member is busy on and when it needs to be completed by.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a user i have found that the admin person can schedule tasks and projects for individual team members, but if these need to be changed suddenly then they can only be changed by the admin person and not the individual. I have had one or two occasions when I needed to update and reshuffle my schedule on Float but wasn't able to do so as the admin person was off or not in the office. This caused some scheduling delays for myself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Float we have used it extensively the last few months to help our Studio stay on top of the multiple projects we have on the go at one time. With multiple team members working on different projects it has allowed us as a studio to keep on the ball and make sure we meet deadlines, and has allowed us to see what we can take on and when. As the studio is getting busier and busier Float is becoming a vital, central platform that the team rely on daily to produce quality work on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float is a valuable tool for us a busy, up-and-coming audio and visual design studio. If you need a central, easily accessible platform to keep track of tasks, projects and individual's work loads on a daily, weekly and monthly basis then I recommend Float as a highly useful tool and one that we are relying on more and more, as the studio gets busier and busier.

The ability to display project and scheduling info in an easy to review summary.
What do you dislike about the product?
The absence of integration of corporate infrastructure due to third party hosting.

Scheduling of several project leads across an entire team. Scheduling times have been cut down significantly.
Data mining and reporting

Data mining is best and really like the search capabilities in the tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks reporting high-level information to the management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management - this is the best tool for the entire team to look into the status, schedule and allocation of work

Float is a best tool for the Scrum based projects
Float Review after 2 months of use
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty good overview of all task within the team and nice layout
What do you dislike about the product?
The website might be sometimes very laggy as you keep adding the tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having good overview of all tasks make our team more flexible and agile, which we value a lot.
Higher productivity tool - float
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use, you don't need to be a computer expect for you to use it. It also shows you the tasks that your team members are busy with on a particular day/week/month
What do you dislike about the product?
The software does not have status for a task, I think it is important for a user to set a status of the task that they are doing. For example, when you are done with a task, you can mark it as done which will show your team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We able to keep track of the tasks that each member is responsible for.
Ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to see what I have been scheduled [by the traffic and/or operations manager] to work on over a period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that we cannot log time spent against the tasks [generate time sheets]; we have to use other apps to log time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seeing what our peers are working on helps with transparency. One's leader wouldn't need to hover over them to know what they are working on, making for a calmer work environment, resulting in higher productivity levels.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will likely need to use Jira or Chase to manage tasks and track time spent on them

Float ; An useful software for an easy planning
What do you like best about the product?
Overall planning for teams, easy day-by-day task management, task categories, projet / customer management, api to retrieve planning on other software (such as notes calendar)
What do you dislike about the product?
Still quite difficult to manage 1/2 day task, no way to plan meeting easily
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management has always been quite messy on our teams, and no overall was available with Notes calendar, so Float has been worshiped when we got it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're searching for an easy use planner go for it. If your needs are somehow way more complicated than just planning stuff for teams, you're about to be a bit disappointed

The color combination is not that attractive, there should be an option to customize the theme for each organization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Such a piece of good work enabler
