User-Friendly Interface, But Filter Options Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It has a very clear and user friendly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The filter options are not very refined that is if I search up a specific client, it does not directly flow to the area which I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to plan out my work for months in advance.
Effective for Scheduling, Needs More Project Management Features
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Float makes project allocation straightforward, allowing me to efficiently distribute tasks. The setup process was also very straightforward since everything was already set up for me when I started using it. Additionally, I find it valuable that Float helps my team member by showing her what projects I'm working on and forecasting for the upcoming weeks, even if it doesn't directly solve my personal problems. This feature aids in better transparency and team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that Float is not solving any of my problems directly, yet it helps one of my team members, which can feel indirect and less beneficial for me personally. Additionally, the inability to manage projects directly within Float is a significant limitation. Project management is a crucial aspect of my workflow that I wish could be handled within the system. This aspect limits the efficiency and completeness of the tool in my daily tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps my team by showing project allocations and forecasting upcoming tasks, aiding in better team planning and resource management.
Absolutely Love This Software!
What do you like best about the product?
Tracking has become easier, and the planning structure is much improved from an admin perspective.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be really helpful to have integration with Asana, allowing the timer to be started directly from within Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing tasks and organizing time across several projects has become much simpler. The process of planning and keeping track of different responsibilities is now more straightforward.
Effortless Time Tracking, But Beware of Accidental Logging
What do you like best about the product?
Flat is easy to use, and a useful way of tracking hours worked across many different projects, as well as an effortless way to review the years' hours worked come tax return time. It's also pretty good for knowing in advance which times of the year are already overloaded and shouldn't have extra projects added to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that if one accidentally drags a box sideways when clicking on it logging hours, it'll fill in all the rest of everything scheduled on the day even though that stuff hasn't been worked on for those hours at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float makes it easier to report to my superiors about the hours worked, as well as track them personally, ensuring early detection of if a project won't be profitable and (working from home) an easy way to demonstrate productivity if queried when qualifying for stuff like pay rises.
Efficient for Resource Planning, Less So for Engineering Detail
What do you like best about the product?
- Balances workload across engineers and analysts:
+ Visual schedule shows who’s over- or under-utilized.
+ Lets leads reassign or delay tasks to avoid burnout and bottlenecks.
Why it helps: Keeps delivery consistent and prevents critical-path delays caused by uneven workloads.
- Supports utilization reporting:
+ Tracks billable vs. internal (non-billable) analytics or engineering effort.
+ Reports help justify headcount or demonstrate workload trends to leadership.
Why it helps: Provides visibility into how team time is spent and supports resourcing decisions.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Limited context for engineering complexity: Float treats all tasks as equal-length time blocks — it doesn’t account for technical uncertainty, dependencies, or scope creep.
Downside: Estimates in Float can oversimplify engineering effort, leading to unrealistic expectations.
- Less value for individual contributors: Most of Float’s insights (capacity, utilization, forecasting) benefit leads or managers more than engineers themselves.

What problems Float is solving
Lack of visibility into team workload and availability
– Before Float, it was hard to see who was available, who was overbooked, or when projects could realistically start.
– Float centralizes that view, showing team capacity and planned work in one place.
Difficulty coordinating tasks across multiple projects
– Engineering and analytics teams often juggle overlapping priorities.
– Float makes it easy to assign and adjust work, ensuring deadlines stay balanced across the team.
Inconsistent or manual time tracking
– Float’s time tracking lets team members log actual time spent directly against planned work.
– This helps compare estimated vs. actual effort, improving future planning accuracy.
Limited forecasting for future capacity
– Without Float, it’s challenging to predict when the team can take on new work.
– Float’s scheduling and reporting features help forecast upcoming availability and workload trends.

I can track how long I spend on a job compared to other employees and can track my productivity
Intuitive Data Entry, But Login Consistency Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to enter data and intuitive, and friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logging into system is not consistent, sometime logs in automatically, sometimes asks password.

Time and task tracking
Beautiful Colors and Simple UI, Just Wish Time Logging Was Easier to Remember

Multiple stakeholders will see my estimated work time and can adjust based on it
Effortless Scheduling and Reporting Keep Projects on Track
What do you like best about the product?
simple to use scheduling tool, the reporting aspects make managing projects easy and ensure that things keep on track. if there is any creep in terms of time allocation we are on top of it immediately and can address why this is occuring early in the project delivery.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like the ability to adjust the financial rates per project as these differ by client. Would like the allocated hours per proejct to be displayed as we are scheudling in time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team utilisation, project scheduling and management - provides a valuable tool for time-tracking and forecasting and improves team communcaiton as there is no confusion around who's doing what and when it is required.
