What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides of the product features.
The product can be enhanced, we found missing features that can be very helpful:
- non-billable resources when some portion of resource availability isn't billed to a customer;
- vacations, sick leaves approval workflows will allow to use it by all staff, not only management;
- removed resources limited visibility, e.g. some resources can be moved to another project but are visible in the current project's resource group, but can be hidden or collapsed;
There are workarounds that are used to resolve the absent features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Two problems that are solved with the Float:

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it as a good tool for Project and Resource managers mainly. It can be a single point of truth regarding resource pool availability and utilization, eliminate the need to maintain a number of tracking and reporting spreadsheets.
The reporting system can be used by accountants or billers to prepare invoices in case you use the T&M contracts.
