How easy is to get onboard with the app. We didn't need a company meeting explaining how to use the app, we just started using it right away, and it's super intuitive
There is no way to request vacations from the app, or at least we are not using it in our company, we use a different tool for it
The hours are planned by management and I just need to login and press 1 button and is done, no need to to log hours for each day and project like we had to do in other tools
I love being able to drag tasks around and assign them to other people all on one UI.
I don't have much I don't like. I want 1/4 hour time tracking is all I'd change.
We are solving our resource planning problems. We are able to see when things will have the time to be worked on effectively.
Can categorise departments and teams, to allow me to see what my department and collaborating departments are working on
Email updates could be better, email me on a monday what my week looks like, should show my tasks first rather than alphabetical by default
Allows me to manage my time, as well as predicting completion times by seeing when things i am waiting on will arrive
Organization and the ability to track projects
The inability to search for other people with a search bar
Open time per coworker for project delegation
Easy to view the data very useful reporting
I would like to insert a to do list inside the weekly schedule
N/A
I like how much it helps me to organise my day. I use it constantly to see what I have coming up.
I dislike that I can't edit things unless i am an administrator. Sometimes I would like to mark things as complete, for my benefit.
I am figuring out who, in my team, can help me with projects and when I need to book a holiday, I know not to choose days where my colleagues are off, through Float.
The ease of use and the nice overview to see if everyone has something to work on.
Quite the amount of manual work are needed to keep float up to date.
To plan what kind of resources are busy at what time. Float helps us plan for longer projects. This is also a tool to help our salespeople to say to the customer when we can start on new projects.
It's really easy to use. It has cool design - much better than Jira! Website doesn't lag at all.
I would like to have menu (schedule, log time, etc.) on the left side of the screen.
I'm logging time as QA engineer. It's much easier than in Jira.
Float is a great way to keep track of working hours and who is working on what projects. We use float to go over everyone's weekly schedule. Everyone enters this be themselves and anyone can check how is working on what very easily.
The process of creating and editing projects could be more user friendly. Editing project name was not the easiest to figure out. It was easy if you knew what you were doing but not for a new user.
With each department growing in size, it was getting difficult to keep track of who was working on what. Float is a great tool to help with that issue.
Easy to use You can find the planning easily
There is nothing to complain here, it works as expected!
With Float, you can have an overall image of the planning in just a few seconds so you know what you should do for the projects
