Float is great, really easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
continuously tweaking features for the better to further improve upon the UI/UX. My project management team did a lot of research on resource management tools and Float was the only one that allowed for such a granular view (i.e., instead of planning sprints in 2 weeks, it's day by day). We needed that for our business as we are run day-to-day with sometimes very small tasks (0.5-1hr) and Float was the only one allowing us to get that granular. Further, whenever we've had an issue the Support team is very quick and responsive to helping us!
What do you dislike about the product?
The Reporting tools aren't as great and well-organized as our Finance/Billing team would like. But the front-end is superior to the other tools my team considered so we are still using on that front.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily Resource allocation and management for the Project Managers to schedule client work and maintain progress throughout projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
- There were couple glitches and numerous updates in January but that is resolved now
- Previously performance was not great, but there are great improvements recently on that part
- Adding holidays could be easier
- When grouped by project I'd like Float to show all assigned project for people, not only specified project

We are using Float in our organization to manage resource allocation and we have been using it for the last 3 years. It has been mostly great and enhanced our resource allocation amazingly and provided great visibility into resourcing across different programs and into the future. We use Float to track Holidays and vacation across all regions (worldwide), we use it to forecast allocation and revenue across the team per each project. Permissions are straightforward and allow us to control what we want. We can keep projects as tentative while awaiting for the contract and still allocate people to provide visibility into anticipated resourcing load. Overall Float has been great for us and I would recommend it to any organization providing services and focused around resourcing their team. Float has been constantly evolving and you can notice the difference and improvements rolled out weekly if not daily. Thank you for your work Float team!

Simple planning tool
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is user-friendly enough that my managers actually have time for creating a schedule :-)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor issues that could be improved: data retention for ics exports should be increased to 3 months, locations should be added to scheduled tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling a team of consultants for a wide variety of different locations, customers and appointments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it!
Easy team planning
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplicity of Float, as you get everything done with drag and drop. Filling a week of our 15+ people is a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some "glitches". One glitch is related to making the autocomplete more obvious, because when you delete the whole text in the field it stays there. Another glitch is that sometimes the sync breaks on other clients and they have to refresh to pull-in changes.
Their Slack integration is really basic at the moment, as it streams notifications over Slack. It would be way cooler and useful if it could send the weekly schedule to each member.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to stay on top of the schedule for the engineering team and Float helps in that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sharing the schedule with users is really nice and useful, but think carefully about the users you want to schedule, because it's not good if they'll find their row empty.
Float Review
What do you like best about the product?
The general look and feel of the product. The fact that you can access is anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality to maintain my projects. The user friendliness is not the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning and overview of team members on a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float might be a good solution to use internally for your team members.
Nice to see my schedule
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to see what my day is going to be blocked out as
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it will allow for more hours set than are in a work day
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
time Management
Great scheduling software
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to allocate projects / clients to tasks. Many other software didn't have a clear time allocation or overview week by week of the schedule. Float is very transparent, quick and easy to use and view the work an individual or team has booked. The reporting feature is also very handy to see where time has been spent by whom and if we are going over time!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only feature I would recommend that isn't currently available is to duplicate time blocks easily, you can drag similar length projects across days, but sometimes I may want to work 3h on one day and 2h on another currently I'd have to enter the task twice, may be easier if I could just copy and duplicate then edit the time needed only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has brought increased efficiencies across our design team, making it much easier to get projects briefed in, time allocated and client managed properly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float is a case of use and implement it into your schedule or don't use it all, we initially had paper briefs and a scheduling white board, we did away with all of that and haven't looked back. It's most effective when used to the full across every team member.
Helpful view of capacity in teams
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automatically map hours across the team with holiday, sickness already considered. As a user the dashboard was user friendly and a helpful reference when progressing through a month.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to spread project hours unevenly across weeks/days for the regular roundup e-mails to users. Users requested an additional level of detail that reflected their evolving day to day capacity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A helpful view of capacity, work distribution and team member availability.
Miranda - FullFunnel
What do you like best about the product?
Float provides a good visualization on the distributed hours that we assign our remote part-time employees to be working on a particular client.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very limited in terms of features, would be nice if there was some sort of integration that made it easier to email and communicate with the team about modifications to the schedule
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The way that it can be modified each week based off vacations and other anomalies make it easy for our team to see the gaps that need to be filled in these instances.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you manage projects that need different hours allocation from each participant, Float provides a an easy-to-use platform for making sure everyone knows how to spend their time!

What do you like best about the product?
Float is easy to use, quick, and visually cool
What do you dislike about the product?
marking days with sick leave or holiday after planning jobs before, kicks out these jobs totally. no details about jobs can be mentioned in a kind of form or struture, e.g. job numbers, responsible people, etc. (only possible in the notes)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
capacity planning in a digital ad agency
