Float Use Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use + how the data is organized (ie. colour code). The administrator can easily move tasks around to different days without a problem. It's also beneficial to put additional information in each task in the notes section of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
That you can't highlight information within each task. When you want to copy the information in the notes section, it can't be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it keeps the entire team organized + accountable for the tasks they have to accomplish. It cannot be changed by user so there's no excuse in not completing the task

Great and Simple Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed how pleasant it was to use Float. Their interface is very simple and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there was another I would have to dislike, it would be how hard it was to know how to add more than 1 event/schedule on the same day.

The business problem I am having is being able to manage my team's schedule and known who is where.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend the use of Float. It did satisfy our needs as a company but we just had no direct need for it at this time. We were looking at other solutions but I would say Float would have been our top choice if we had needed a solution like this one at this time.
Electronic Drives & Controls - Float Review
What do you like best about the product?
The program is very user friendly and intuitive. It is very easy to add users and set up projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program does not allow users to create "what if" scheduling scenarios to trial schedules in an off line environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float gives a quick visual picture of capacity problems and availability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a simple, cost effective tool for resource planning. It is very easy and fast to get up and running on it. It is always a balancing act between how much you want to invest inputting data vs. what you need to get out.

Staffing of Consulting Projects
A top resource planning and scheduling tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of Float it top class. From the creating of projects to assign resources to, creating of tasks in the projects and managing the milestones is super easy. The calendar grid format makes it really easy to see what resources are assigned to and makes it really simple to manage your resource scheduling. Access management is good too. The reporting is decent. The UI is a delight to work with. These days it is all about the user experience. We make use of the Float API suite too to automate the synchronisation (create, deletes and updates) of our team's approved leave request between our leave management system and Float. This saved us loads of manual work to ensure that information is the same across systems. There is not a lot you cannot do with Float.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only small gap I have found is a specific operational reporting requirement I had that the reporting suite didn’t cater for. I required a daily view for resources that did not exist. While there is a weekly view, it does not seem to offer a day-by-day report that can be imported into Excel (through CSV or other means).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Float UI is so easy to use. Doing resource allocation is quick and easy using Float. The API has helped us a lot and saved loads of manual work for syncing approved leave requests between our leave request system and Float. The reporting is good and covers most needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Float is a well rounded product that caters for most of our planning and resourcing needs.
Simple, Reliable, and cost effective!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and easy to use! All Cloud based! The overall program blows it's competition away. The quick & easy changes through the UI are simple and dont require a trip down the hall to IT!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much! Everything in the system is great. One improvement would be some more specific control as an admin primarily when it comes to what schedulers are allowed to use color code wise to keep the system UI clean.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling Fulltime & Freelance creative resources to elminate double booking and under utilized staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Don't hesitate. Pulling the trigger 3 months earlier would have avoided a big mashup of overbooked labor!
