Super simple and powerful resource management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Float is very powerful, easy to use at a glance, and not bloated with too many features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality around planning for unconfirmed projects that are in the pipeline could be improved to allow for better scenario planning. We use various workarounds for this at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resource management and reporting.
Easy and useful software
What do you like best about the product?
Float is very intuitive and easy to use. The search feature and the ability to drag and drop a task are great functionalities. It is a great tool to organise, visualize, and communicate the workflow with the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be useful to be able to move a half day task for the afternoon as currently, we do not have the choice to place tasks at a specific moment of the day. I would also like to see a better way to get a long-term view of capacity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great tool to organise, visualize, and communicate the workflow with the team. I am able to easily schedule many people and if I need to reassign a task to someone else, thats very easy to do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very efficient and easy to use tool to organise and communicate with a team.
How Awesome is Float???
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is THE software I needed to more efficiently monitor my staff workloads. I very easily assign staff to projects without having to question every other project manager in the office. We know who is available and who is not at all times.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a single thing I dislike about using this product!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem solved is who is over worked and who is under utilized. I can now easily assign work to my team evenly. It brings down the stress level, folks aren't worried about not having work and other are stressed with too much.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it!

Transparency, ease of use, clean interface, mobile application
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes issues with scroll or mobile app lags
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

float - Great for resource planning!
What do you like best about the product?
We use the zapier integration to connect float to salesforce. This is how we automatically have our salesforce projects in float.
What do you dislike about the product?
We plan about 160 resources and have well over 2000 projects. Sometimes float gets pretty flow and the scheduling takes a while becuase of the auto complete feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use float to keep an overview of free resources (Consultants) for project staffing. It is easy to identify wholes in the schedule and find people for short term ad-hoc projects.
I start a new day with looking at Float.
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and very intuitive. Just one look at Float and I know what work I have to do during the day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes zoom in / zoom out feature is not working properly, but that might be my device problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working as a frontend developer and I start a new day with look at Float so I know what to do. Tasks are added by PM's in my company and I know they like Float too. After all they decided to choose it as our work management app. Without Float it would be much more difficult to manage my day schedule.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion Float is easiest to use scheduling app.
Inspired scheduling tool with beautiful UX
What do you like best about the product?
Float is a really nice piece of software to use. Great attention has been paid to the UX, making efficient use of screen real estate, infinite scrolling in all directions, nice layout and an amazing search and filter toolbar. It's very easy to learn to use and although the design is simple, there is some clever logic going on that optimises your workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real complaint is that (at least in the version we're using) it's not possible to lock down values in lookups. This results in inconsistent use of fields, making it difficult to analyse the data across projects and teams. For example you cannot set up a global task list, so each time you create a project you have to define the task types again and try to keep them consistent with your other projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have around 100 people working on around 20 projects at any time. Many of these people work across multiple projects simultaneously. It's difficult to plan your capacity and delivery timescales in such an environment, but Float makes this about as easy to do and as transparent as it could be. Bravo!
managing my design team
What do you like best about the product?
Float lets me forecast hiring for my team, balance workload among team members, and block schedules for project manager visibility
What do you dislike about the product?
The selection/moving functionality on Float is pretty touchy and since undo functionality feels hit or miss, it can get a bit frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resourcing for agency-side work is a huge business problem we try to solve every day. Float helps me see how billable we can be.
