"I found it useful using Float in managing resource time utilization"
What do you like best about Float?

Float is super good in managing hours utilization and team updates on project allocation. I think it is an easy to use tool. I only manage resources but there are other ways of using Float too.

What do you dislike about Float?

UI of Float seems old. The Colour scheme needs an update, filter option is sometimes confusing in a way about what to select and from where but overall it is fine and manageable.

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

I am using Float for solving team resource allocation and adding team members to the required projects. It helps me in guiding a resource about their allocation and project, work etc

"A solid system for smaller teams"
What do you like best about Float?

Float is incredibly easy to use and integrate into smaller teams. Visually straightforward, it gives you quick and simple answers to essential resource-based questions and allows team members to see what work they should be progressing and when in a tidy calendar view. In addition, there is an easy link between time in the calendar to projects that can be managed quickly.

What do you dislike about Float?

I do find that compared to some other systems, a level of detail when it comes to finances and budgets vs resource is missing. Whilst you can get some very top-level detail, the ability to link actual time spent versus project budgets is a little simplistic and could be expanded upon to really drill down into more detail to provide better overall reports.

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

Resource management. The ability to organise team members and ensure they're informed as to their work schedules was quickly and easily done with the use of Float.

"Great Software for bigger Companies!!"

Very organized and clean, great to maintain a good workflow overall, Scheduling is made very easy on this software

What do you dislike about Float?

Can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but super quick to learn

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

Project scheduling in bigger Teams is as easy as it can be. Scheduling your own day is also very great on this software. It allows you to work in bigger Teams without getting in each others way.

"Easy-to-use, amazing collaboration tool"
What do you like best about Float?

Float is very easy to use and has a nice user interface. Next to that, I really like the fact that you get notified everyday about your daily schedule and every time someone makes changes to your schedule.

What do you dislike about Float?

It's not completely mobile-friendly. I've got trouble scrolling all the way to the bottom.

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

It's really easy to see what colleagues are doing everyday. Before, if you couldn't participate in a stand-up, you didn't know what everyone was up to.

"Float is great for first learners and so easy to use!"
What do you like best about Float?

I love how easy to use the software is, it is great for new learners and not difficult to understand

What do you dislike about Float?

I think it would be better to make Float more inclusive to PM and production needs such as budgeting. It would also be better if you could temporarily add users such as freelancers for 30 days.

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

It is so easy to use and it is great for teams to be able to access this. The guest feature on Float is also great as it lets account managers see live updates.

"Very good experience with Float"
What do you like best about Float?

Easy to use, helpful and multi-screen... it's definitely a best-in-class in resource planning. Thanks to simple drag and drop features it's very easy to organize and visualize tasks and planning. All the team can see our schedule and we can see what each other is doing.

What do you dislike about Float?

It can be difficult to synchronize a whole team on a single task. We have to create fav with people of the team to easily have access to their schedule. If not, we lose them on the next log in.

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

I spend less time organizing my tasks, and more time to actually do them. It's a time saver and I can easily track my times on a daily basis, making it more efficient.

At first, you need to create templates for each type of project you will work on, otherwise organising your tasks to properly track your time becomes a bit of a nightmare.

It helps to see where resources need to be allocated.
