One of the better project management tools out there
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can split bookings so every day is defined with the precise hours required on that resource, rather than a large blanket booking. I like that there are unlimited colour choices for each user, and one can easily identify each resource's role in the company. I like that you can easily see when someone is overallocated.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the extra step that one must take to add a new client and new project. It's an additional step that I find too cumbersome and not user friendly. I also don't like that there isn't a simple "duplicate" button, rather, you must split it and then move it to a different resource.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've discovered that larger companies need something like Float so we can be more precise with booking. Since time management is crucial in the production industry, we appreciate that you can be more accurate in bookings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float is one of the more user friendly project management tools out there. It's still got its kinks and difficulty, but one can get the hang of it after two weeks.
Float
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and extremely fast to use interface. I picked up how to create customers, projects, tasks and to schedule them without using the help documentation or customer support. It is very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like little additional features here and there but adding features naturally increases complexity so I cant really complain. The ability to see things offline occasionally would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are planning design and manufacturing tasks / workload using it. It is giving us visibility of our capacity bottle necks and communicating overall plans to everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the trial and see if it meets your needs. Dont expect bells and whistles. It is quick, easy to use and effective because it is so simple.
Float Schedule system
What do you like best about the product?
I found Float really easy to set up & a great way to track resource through the department.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing missing for me is a financial tracking system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had no overview of workload through the department, Float has solved this & made it really easy for all to know what they are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IF you need a straight forward tool to track resource float is the one.
Quick and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Float is very quick and easy to use and add activities in. I find the usability one of the best aspects of Float, as it is simple to teach and learn, which makes it so easy to implement. The last thing you need is to add cumbersome processes and time consuming activities to an already busy team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think many of the issues I originally had with Float have been fixed or new features added in the time I have been using it. New updates and features have overcome some of the complicate menus and streamlined the process for adding new tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team are getting a very good idea on where our time is going and what clients or activities are taking the most time. It's able to track how much time is going into our own management and processes and how much time is going to client work. We don't use it a lot for forecasting, but would like to get there one day. At this stage it is very helpful in providing a log of our time.
Great for fast moving teams without taking too much time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float allows us to manage the scheduling of our resources into the future.
Very useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Float has been very useful in our project management and time allocation. We use it to delegate tasks and projects. It is a great visual representation for scheduling. We also find the time off and milestone features very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Float can be tricky to use at times and there aren't many resources like guides or videos to reference. Other minor things like the split tool gets stuck sometimes and there isn't a way to unsplit tasks. Sometimes when trying to assign time off the website won't let you do it until you refresh. The differences between admin, project manager, owner are not very clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The visual aspect allows us to ensure we are meeting deadlines, making sure we don't overschedule team members. It has been very beneficial in terms of time management and making sure tasks are completed in a timely manner.
It's great!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, clear display of information. Reports are a handy feature to keep track of time spent on projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use additional project-based features such as timelines, the ability to add phases, sub-phases, or assign tasks to projects or people
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy tracking of hours spent and active projects
Love using float!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that my schedule is color coded so I can quickly see an overview of my week at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike about it. It's the easiest scheduling software I've used out of all of my jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having my managers book out my time in a clearly laid out manner makes it easier for me to focus on my work and not have to worry about which project is more important, or try to prioritize my work myself, or spend time tracking down managers etc. It streamlines my work flow.
Easy to Use and Manage
What do you like best about the product?
the integration of budget and burn rate.
What do you dislike about the product?
inability to tie in with our payroll software (Ajera)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
each team members impact on a budget as the hours are used per project
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No tie between payroll and float so you havce to go back and update the forecast with actual data to stay current.
