Float Reviews & Product Details

As a producer, the upside of Float is the ease of scheduling my team's many projects. Float's interface helps our team access and view each other's calendars so we know which resources are available. It's also a very nice interface that is pleasant to look at.

The only thing I dislike about Float is when I try to drag projects and their timelines, the dates end up getting messed up. The drag feature skews the dates sometimes.

Float solves our issues of inter-company schedule access. Instead of wondering what projects our editors are working on, everyone can access Float and see who is busy on what projects. It has made our lives so much easier.

Everything about it is super useful -- extending tasks to span other days, splitting tasks, colour-coding by client, easily dragging tasks around, adding notes to each task, etc.

I wish they had a membership for single-person use.

My work follows a 2-week sprint and I use float to organize my day-to-day to keep me on track for the 2 weeks. I can also easily move tasks around if they spill over to the next sprint.

We're able to see and plan our leaves perfectly.

Nothing. Everything in this platform is easy to use

Nothing, it benefits my work- life balance.

I find float very user-friendly, took me no time to get going on it. I can manage my time effectively by knowing what is coming up next for myself and the team.

I do not have any 'dislikes' at this time when it comes to Float. I would like to see additional features in the future but would like them to keep their aesthetic.

Scheduling all of our projects while creating transparency for all members of the consulting team regardless of level or tenture. I was able to quickly trust the process because of Float.

eay to use, intuitive, and generally user-focussed, I'm really happy with the time and task tracking aspects

bit of a pain to have to scroll down to my name - would imagine it would suck in a larger organisation - maybe there should be a way to keep your tasks at the top?

task management - much easier to prioritise and attend to different responsibilities

Float helps me a lot in organizing my schedules

I wish there is an android app available

It solves unorganized tables

I like the easiness of usage for float, it helps the organisation in time management

There is no option to view monthly progress, only weekly

Time management and team capacity/availability

to change the schedule as you want, it very easy to use

i want it as an app on mobilephone to use it out of office

organize my team tasks and time

float helps individual to record timings and can recall what he/she did on a particular day and can also see the data in form of how many hours worked in a week or month.

No disadvantages for using float. interface could have little bit better and of less complexity

float helping to record time in a very organising manner

As the title says, the best thing about Float is how easy it is to use. We're a medium-sized design agency and we looked for ages for a solution to project management that didn't bog us down in admin and could be easily accessed.

It could be better at scheduling holidays, we use Timetastic for this and it would be great if the two could be integrated.

Easy scheduling of projects so the whole team has a clear overview of what they are personally working on and what is in the studio.

I really like how easy it is to use, that's the main thing! I have never used it before but within 15 minutes I'd managed to schedule all my projects. I also like the budget tracking element - I have quite a complicated project with a less than 2% tolerance with the budget and Float has been invaluable helping me track that.

I find it's quite hard to export the data which we need for our invoicing - I end up exporting it in Excel and then having to copy and paste. I would love it if there was some sort of invoicing feature in float so we could generate them at source!

It's helping me monitor the profitability of my projects, it's ensuring our people are not overloaded or not having enough to do - which ensures we can maintain a sustainable velocity across the organisation which is really powerful.

I like it; it lets me have good visibility about project resources, and I can also check company resources.

I was not getting used to updating and filling it in at the beginning. But then I realized all the pros that it gives me. Sometimes I am lost in dates.

It gives me the good visibility, I can book people, I can plan project.

Quick and fast set up and time visibility

Negative total float, seems weird. Wondering, how could Float simplify the overlapping works without showing (-)?

No work-conflicts with my several Poject Managers.

Float helps us visually plan out our week

Nothing really, the keyboard commands can be a bit clunky but the app does what it needs to!

It helps us plan projects and employee leave in 1 UI, which makes long term planning much easier.

The ease of use + features & mobile app is really great

Nothing at this time that comes to mind it's really a great product

Visibility of planning/capacity but also the time/budget management against that + let's not forget that timeregistration has now become a breeze

Easy to see entire workload at a glance. Powerful filters to show only the information you need.

Can be slow when loading complex views. Some UI elements aren't that intuitive.

Keeping track of a remote team. Visual aid for daily meetings.

Float makes tracking time/hours for each project you are assigned to very quick and easy. Each task has its own tab that is very specific to what you are working on.

Logging in time should definitely be the responsibility of the user, however, I think an alert/notification feature to remind users to track their hours would be very useful. I dislike that it is up to managers and higher-ups to reach out about missing days or time.

Float solves the issue of employees being unsure about how often or how little they dedicate time to certain projects; with Float you can visualize in the reports how much time is spent on a task, and this is beneficial in showcasing how your hours are being distributed throughout the day.

Being able to show how busy I am and how I can show when I need work.

When I am updating a job or adding a new job I need to be specific about what I need.

I have not had any to send out.

Float has made daily scheduling and project management a far simpler process, it is simple and aesthetically designed. The layout makes it easy to see both my own schedule, and that of my team

Sometimes the integration with 3rd party apps such as Asana is a bit clunky, but on the whole there is very little to complain about. Some more customisation options for the colour scheme etc. might be nice.

Float has made daily scheduling and project management a far simpler process, a shot planing session at the start of the day/week sets up my schedule for the week and allows me to plan in detail.

It allows me and my team to work seamlesly, I manage all of our workflow through this product and we have never been more efficent.

nothing at all to be honest, it makes perfect sense and allows me to do more with my team

In advertising scheduling is often a nightmare, this is no longer the case as the whole office can see and work through workflow due to the open nature of the platform.
