Effortless Resource Management & Scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Float contributes to better workflow management by allowing me to forecast in terms of project hours accurately. This predictability helps me know when resources are finishing up their current tasks, which is invaluable for scheduling ahead of time. I find the feature that enables switching projects from tentative to confirmed particularly useful, as it enhances the accuracy of project management and helps in better resource allocation. Additionally, Float's user-friendly setup made it easy for me to get started without any hassle, and the ease of ongoing management is a big reason I would choose to use it again. Its capability to assist in resource management ensures I can manage my projects efficiently, making it a tool I would rate highly for recommendations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Float makes it difficult sometimes to see an entire year's schedule for a person. Currently, I can only view a couple of weeks at a time, which limits my ability to plan and oversee schedules comprehensively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float to solve resource management issues, allowing me to know when projects finish and schedule ahead, enhancing our forecasting capabilities and workflow efficiency.
Simple, Beautiful Scheduling—But Extra Features Feel Unnecessary
What do you like best about the product?
I run a design agency. 2 things are important to me 1) Simplicity - Float is simple to use. 2) Aesthetics - If i'm to use a tool daily then it has to be attractive and Float is one of the better tools that satisfies this niche requirement.
I like how much the focus is purely on just resourcing my team.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a big fan of time tracking nor the recently released budgeting features. Neither are useful in my use case as I use dedicated task management tools (Basecamp, Harvest) that are far better at managing this than Float. Float should focus more on resourcing and scheduling because that's what brought me to the platform and what it's good for. I understand tools like Float need to evolve but at the same time stick to what you're good at because there are other tools in other areas that often do better jobs. There's a reason why tools such as Clickup or Monday are disliked so much - it's because they're bloated trying to focus on too many things it becomes unusable. I'd suggest focussing more on integrations with other tools to expand Float's usefulness into those other areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing me to resource my team in a quick and easy fashion, it also facilitates others to do the same for individual teams.

Essential, User-Friendly Tool for Team Scheduling and Task Management

Great Event Organization, But Needs Better Support for Overnight Scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can categorize events and see everything in a clear fashion. I also like that there's a permission structure where folks can access information without accidently causing unintended changes (view only mode).
What do you dislike about the product?
As a training company, sometimes we work overnight events and as of now, Float won't let us block a continuous overnight block. I usually end up having to make more than one block to show the event's duration properly to my team.
I also kind of wish there were a schedule drafting space (which I believe there is technically, just not exactly what I need for my role).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float handles hour allocations and helps reconcile how long tasks take leading to better personnel scheduling. Also handles PTO requests and scheduling to make sure we have coverage on key projects.
Needs Improvement in Flexibility and Permissions
What do you like best about the product?
I find Float valuable for providing a centralized location to log hours and manage budgets. This feature simplifies tracking and configuration, ensuring that our project hours are efficiently monitored and aligned with budget constraints.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Float's features to be somewhat complicated, cluttered, and clunky compared to platforms like Trello. The platform's interface doesn't allow for the ease of movement and task-based organization that I'm accustomed to, such as viewing tasks in a Kanban board. The scheduling feature is also not very useful to me because it doesn't suit how our project timelines work. Additionally, Float feels limited in capability and flexibility, and I haven't found a great way to utilize it effectively. As a result, I am considering returning to using Trello alongside Float.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float to log hours and manage budgets efficiently in a single place, making it easier to track work and financials together.
Super Clean, User-Friendly UI
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is super clean and user-friendly!
What do you dislike about the product?
More details could be shown on hover to find out what users need to know quicker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a glimpse, I know exactly how much time I have to allocate to each project any given week. It allows me to identify if time allocation is realistic or if I believe that some task will eat another one's time and raise a flag or prioritize as needed.
User-Friendly Interface Makes Interaction a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
It has a very easy interface to understand and interact with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that you should be able to add meetings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
