Autologging can be annoying
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?
The way my company has it organized makes it so that I can see exactly how much I am supposed to work on a project based on my float schedule
Great Visibility and Flexibility, But Time Tracking Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It aligns well with how we view our business and operations. It provides good visibility into the availability of our team and is flexible so we can view the data from multiple different vantage points (ie: Total hours, per team, per client, per project, etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
Its difficult to keep float up to date as time passes, the time tracking features aren't as robust as we need, so we use an external tool and try to keep it in sync with planned vs. actual as much as possible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing visibility into exactly how our team is being utilized, identifying the gaps in resource allocation so we can actively work to fill those gaps, and uncovering overages which could signal the need to push out a timeline or adjust the delivery of a project
Effortless Daily Scheduling with Float and Seamless Integration
What do you like best about the product?
It helps me to follow my day to day schedule with a lot of ease. I use it everyday to check my bookings. I love how easy it is to integrate. Although I only use it for my daily bookings but the number of features in it are vast.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I haven't experienced anything that I do not like about Float particularly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to be on top of my bookings everyday and helps me to track my time eddiciently.
Director, Resource Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the interface is user friendly and it is easy to train and onboard new users. The platform also appears modern and designed well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is room for improvement on the budget section of the projects. Ideally I would like to capture budget by person or role/title on a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use float to schedule employee time against projects - we use that data to help us identify individuals with bandwidth to take on last minute projects and asks. Individuals use float as a guide to what they should be focusing on day to day.
Intuitive Resource Management with Room for Personalization
What do you like best about the product?
I find Float incredibly useful for resource management at my brand management agency. It allows us to efficiently monitor how work hours are allocated among team members, facilitating accountability and providing a clear view of the team's activities for the week. Float's intuitive platform is impressive, as it operates without requiring complex login procedures, making it easy to use right out of the box. The ability to see everyone's workload and make necessary adjustments helps ensure that our small team remains productive and that no one is over or underburdened. This is particularly beneficial considering we operate with varied budgets. The schedule feature is fantastic, offering transparency not only about my tasks but also about the entire team's commitments, which is crucial for our global operations. I appreciate the project planning feature, which offers a simple yet effective roadmap for our projects, enhancing our planning capabilities significantly. The recording tab that displays the billable versus non-billable time helps maintain clarity in our financial assessments, preventing oversight. Overall, the ease of use and the practical insights it provides are why I continue to appreciate Float.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think having more personalization would be really helpful. Our team setup does not currently allow each user to update their own schedule – instead, project managers manage this. It would be better if users had more ownership and personalization in updating their schedules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float to manage team resourcing, ensuring workload balance and improving accountability, which helps us optimize operations weekly.
Great Experience!

Easy UI, customizable views, fewer clicks to get what I need
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it's perfect for what we need it to do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling and resourcing
Great for Team Scheduling, But Drag-and-Drop Can Be Tricky
What do you like best about the product?
It's helpful to be able to see all the team's schedule in one place and be able to easily transfer the bookings from one to another by dragging or entering their name. Adding team members and implementing to our regular process has been easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when moving bookings, it can be finicky and changes are made unintentionally such as length of booking, moving it to the wrong person, etc. Sometimes when changes are made by someone else, it doesnt show up on my screen until refreshed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to manage resources and it shows when a resource is fully booked for the day and the PMs know not to keep adding bookings on that resource and look for support elsewhere.
