Great for scheduling, could use some upgrades But does the job!
What do you like best about the product?
Its a great tool to manage / automate scheduling for resources. Would recommend it over a manual process for sure! I would also like to have the ability to create more detailed job assignments per resource so that
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a resource request pool for when you need resources and none are available. Currently you have to create a fictional user and assign tasks to them until divied up. Users currently have roles but it doesn't go into detail on their expertise of said role.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling / resource management. It is way better than excel and more automated. Less opportunity for mistakes. It allows you to see across multiple regions for resources to find subject matter experts if possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend float for users with a broad range of resources.
Float is part of our team
What do you like best about the product?
The schedule view is the best around, and we've tried a few. It's replaced our spreadsheets, we now have a clear view now on who's working on what. We're able to plan our time off, and we use the unassigned roles to log upcoming work. We use the Slack app to keep track of changes as they happen. The new iOS app has been handy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to be able to add our project budgets to track those, but I hear that feature is coming soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float saves us a lot of time we previously spent in spreadsheets. We have multiple projects on the go and so it's great to be able to have a single view of them all and a quick snapshot of everyone's capacity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it, it's the best scheduling tool we've used and the support is superb.
Functional, but difficult UI
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me to schedule my time among various, billable projects as well as for time off. Others like being able to use that to project cash flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is really difficult to use. While it does seem to be improving, it requires fore knowledge of unintuitive UI elements that don't outwardly suggest being interactive and also fine-grained mouse clicking on distinct elements that are very close together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me as an employee, it solves the problem of booking time off. For others, it helps them estimate future cashflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask them to write a new UI. The functionality is fine as far as I can tell, but their UI really needs some more attention to detail and user experience.
Inexpensive resource management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Float allows us to customize how we use the tool to complement our billing system and maximize our human capital.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could tie it to our billing system and only have one point of data entry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better equips us to see when staff is available for assignment to a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. It's cloud-based and intuitive and super user-friendly.

Great for viewing team project availability

It's easy to see who has availability across a large team

Loads slow for large teams. Doesn't integrate with Teamwork so you have to manually enter all tasks into Float
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps us see, across a large team, which members are at full capacity and which ones have availability to take on new tasks.
