Integration to rest of the team

  • August 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, specifically for traffic to brief in work to the creative department. This also makes it easier for all the creatives to fill in their timesheets once everything has been scheduled. The design is clean and pleasant to look at, which makes it working with it delightful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't enough training for the creatives to use it more efficiently. This hinders the level to which the software can be integrated into e-mail (if possible), and therefore have a more streamlined process instead of having multiple logins in order to use the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easier to do timesheets once work has been logged on float.

I have nothing more to add but require to use more words in order to fill the word count, in terms of UX I think tghis was a short sight from the survey creators. This might just make it a wordy response rather than dealing with specific points from my experience of the softweare. Luckily I am almost there with regards to the word count and can get my $20 for these surveys. All in all it is a good product and more training should be provided for all stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Train the rest of the team well, and not just the administrators initially tasked with briefing in the work. This will assisst everyone to make the best out of this software. Use the customisable interface in order reap the best experience for oneself.

Really good piece of software that keeps me on project

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Really clean UI that lets me quickly see my projects currently and for the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an end user the product is fully featured. May be stuff from an admin point of view but this isn’t in my remit.

Helps keep me on task and project.

Great Tool!

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that this gives you easy access to see where people are scheduled w/ outside teams on certain projects. Makes our communication within a production photo studio way more steamless!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are multiple ways to access projects within the tool that showcase different info. Sometimes this causes my team to record info different. Not huge changes between the info but has caused some confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to plan out further and faster with this tool! Plus keeps people accountable for their tasks in assigning people as well as visibility across all teams!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe this is an user friendly tool that can really streamline work schedule processes like it has within my companies teams. We used to relay on Google Drive for all things like this but without the backup data so Float has been a great addition to our tools to help keep things moving along in our ever changing work!

Float for team scheduling

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to see our teams schedule anytime and place as long as I have wifi or cell data reception.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the navigation method on a cell phone; to move left and right on a schedule (forward and back in time) I have to click on two little buttons instead of having a normal slide/scroll bar to move around. This is a bit slow and clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Following the teams schedule when offsite.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use float if you work off a server and need remote access to a schedule

A app to control your semester of tasks

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that the app is visual, and I can easily control my tasks during weeks, months or semesters in the office.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you can`t lock tasks to your team. That would help to count total work hours on each task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
overloading tasks on the same day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
keep doing that good job! It`s helping my whole team

Float Review

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Float is so simple and straight forward to use. It allows managers to keep track of the workflow and all team members are able to see what has been worked on as well as what needs doing. The scheduling system is so smart and allows me to save time and keep all my projects on track.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of yet there is nothing I dislike about fault. I think there are features that are a lot more useful to managers which I would not use and therefore can not comment on. An improvement I would suggest is that when a new user has been added by the manager it would be useful if they got a notification or email letting them know that the new user had accepted their request as managers can be quite busy and forget to check.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Within our team we are all able to see what has or hasn't been done very easily which also therefore helps us to organise meetings if needs be. An additional benefit I had not realised before is that Float also allows you to add in holidays/paid time off etc which is very useful. We are able to reassign tasks as appropriate and see any changes made almost immediately. It is a massive improvement from using the Excel spreadsheet we used to have.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful to read the 'How Float Works' section on the website to learn all the features. There are a lot of great features that I think more workplaces could make use of, such as viewing all your team's workload in one place and viewing multiple projects at the same time.

I Love It!

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Float is SUPER easy to use and very user-friendly. I had never used this kind of software in any of my previous positions and it's so helpful! My managers use it to assign work and make sure that everyone stays on top of their projects. Even on the user end, it's very simple to get the hang of and it makes my life so much easier!
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any problems using it so far so I don't have anything negative to really say about it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been able to keep better track of my schedule, and I love that I can access Float on my phone and personal computer as well. It has increased team productivity, increased accountability, and is so easy to use!

So far so good!

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't been using it for that long so i haven't had any bad experiences so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm an intern here so it's really nice to see what project I have to work on with who and at what time

No problem, great tool!

  • August 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I really like the best is the ease of use of the product, which gives you all the information you need in a very short period of time. I use it mostly to forecast the availability of people and it works great!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike, but in my opinion the only thing that could be potentially improved is the filter feature. I think it is a great feature but it could be either more visible or pushed further away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps me to quickly see who is working on which project and when, which can be very helpful when a new project is coming and you are looking at the availability of some people. You get this information really quickly and easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great and efficient tool!
