"Quick and Easy time management"

The interface and its responsiveness. The previous solution was a bit slow.

The reload screens and notifications - it would be nice if most of them could be a background task.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accessing the information through a web browser helped overcome the older system`s licence limit.

"Easy project overview"
What do you like best about Float?

I love the ability to see my projects laid out for the days, weeks, and months ahead. Its UI makes it really seamless and easy to get all of the necessary info I need.

What do you dislike about Float?

The path from the timeline view to my personal user information which features project reporting is a little clunky, but that's all.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm a user of Float rather than a PM, so for me it's all about planning and managing my own time ahead of schedule and Float captures all of that information for me really easily and simply, making planning and flagging anything in my timeline really easy.

"Best Easy to Use Visual Project Management Tool"
What do you like best about Float?

We love the ease of use of Float to visualize our team's schedule. It allows us to quickly see how our people are resourced and make adjustments on the fly with the draggable task blocks. It was extremely easy to set-up and implement with our team and projects–no tutorial or laborious how-to required!

What do you dislike about Float?

We only use the basic features so there's nothing I can think of that we dislike. I wouldn't mind a sleeker or more customizable interface though :)

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has allowed us to essentially self-manage projects without having to have a dedicated PM on staff.

"Simple and powerful resource management tool to manage team workload"
What do you like best about Float?

Easy to setup and use without any training required. Clean interface that makes it easy to view and update resources assigned to projects. Love the ability to easily drag to extend duration of tasks assigned.

What do you dislike about Float?

Would be great if there was a better integration with our timesheet tool (Xero) to populate timesheets automatically based on plan in Float.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float has been a game changer in effectively managing our resources across projects. We now have a clear view on our resource pipeline and it’s allowed project managers to better utilise team based on availability and make more informed hiring decisions. Everyone can see what people in the team are working on, which has been super handy now the team is working remotely.

"Excellent for easy Project Scheduling"
What do you like best about Float?

I am using float for almost 2 years not and I am in love with it!! It made my life easy when I am working on multiple projects with easy navigation, clean design and easy to understand interface. The reporting tool in float is an excellent tool to get an insight of billability plus more for whole workforce. Export feature allows to easily export whole data in CSV format for further analysis. Notification also serves a useful purpose which notifies user through the app or email when a change is made or new item being added. I highly recommend Float for managing projects, scheduling and resources.

What do you dislike about Float?

Nothing as of now as it has all essentials features inbuilt.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using float to get an updated view of currently assigned and future project. Also, I am able to clearly understand the time I need to spend on each project.

"Invaluable Product!"
What do you like best about Float?

I like Float, because it is the most efficient way to keep track of our day. We use float to review our individual schedules, but most importantly--we can keep track of everyone else too!! At a glance, I can review my project details and associated colleagues assigned to it. Float also allows me to look at future projects. I especially appreciate the notifications I get via email on my upcoming schedule. This is helpful when things change...as they sometimes do. I am instantly "in the know". It pays to know...so this product is invaluable!

What do you dislike about Float?

Nothing! From the Schedule to People to Projects to Reports, I am able to quickly find valuable information about our team.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the age-old question of Billable Hours! This is a quick reference to not only mine, but others on the team. I also use it to help focus my communication when a colleague may be in a different time zone. I can keep track of everyone here--which is a great benefit.

"Float is leading our decisions"
What do you like best about Float?

Float has a lot of features, but one of the most important is the dashboard to overview our projects allocation in one page. It's easy to understand where our team is working on and some possible work gap in our future schedule.

What do you dislike about Float?

Float has a lot of report options. However, in our company, we always track the Earned value management for our projects. Currently, Float does not support this report. Then, we need to calculate it in an external software. We already got in touch with Float and it's on the track to be developed.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float helps us to have an overview of our company allocation. It's easy to understand how many people are allocated and available to work on new projects. We use this information to help our commercial area and project management to predict gaps in work and help us to improve the accuracy of our project. Last but not least, using Float we can track our project budgets and always be aware of its financial healthy.

"Float is great."
What do you like best about Float?

It's an easy way to see what project's people are on in the company. Extremely fast solution to come in to work, and find out where and what you're doing with zero faffing around.

What do you dislike about Float?

When float gets busy the UI starts to get slightly messy with many different projects.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of taking an hour in the morning speaking to project managers to see where I am supposed to be in the day, I can just open float and get on with what i'm supposed to be doing.
