Great Concept, but Inverse Effects
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, share and visualise timings/deadlines/etc.
It helps get everyone on the same page in terms of project activity, and is especially good at helping individuals manage their deadlines and daily tasks. Especially individuals that seem to struggle in this area.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest feature that's missing from this service is a method to measure Float predictions against actually output. And get suggestions to optimise! As in, how much time did we actually spend on that project? Was it 10 when we estimated 4? Or 2 when we estimated 8? We could get better at making Float work for us rather than making us work for Float if this were an option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has had some inverse effects on our team and team dynamics. Our team now works to make our work match Float, not to make Float match our needs. This is probably a management on our issue, but the nature of the platform to make shapes fit perfectly means we neglect key human features that would be nice to have the system flag:
i.e. Do we now have six people working on the same project in order to meet a deadline? This isn't really efficient to have multiple people on the same project at once. In reality, we loose time. And neglects the expertise of any one individual and the time they've invested in that project in the upfront.

Clear, functional and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I am mostly using Float within the company I work for to get an overview of what projects I'm working on during a particular week. The clear and functional display makes it easy to immediately see what has been scheduled. It also lets me see who of my colleagues are on holiday or what projects they're working on. Great product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can begin to get a little bit laggy when there are many other members of staff on display at the same time. Other than that, no complaints!

Task management, work scheduling
Float is easy to set up and allows to kick-off your resource planning very fast

Float for Simple Planning
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use simple resource and people planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great if allowed for timestamps so calendar integration wasn't just all day events.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Capacity planning, distributed across a global company. Has helped solve actual availability and planning vs a spreadsheet.
An easy to use, clear scheduling tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a modern UI for scheduling. Team members are clearly displayed and it gives us visibility we clumsily tried to achieve via Google Sheets in the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
Horizontal scrolling via a mouse with a vertical only scroll wheel can be awkward. There are buttons on the bottom to move left and right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency with team movements and schedules.
Good but could be great
What do you like best about the product?
Love seeing what everyone is working on including myself :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel the app could be easier to view. I find it hard to see what I'm doing on mobile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to see at a glance who has time to fix up last minute jobs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would recommend reviewing the mobile app so that it's easier to see your day, or an option to see everyones days.
