Float Reviews & Product Details

The utility of it, the efficiency, and the UX design.

Haven't used it for a long time so far so I have no cons.

Team task management and time tracking, reporting.

My company uses Float primarily as a scheduling tool and we depend on it every day. Very intuitive!

I can’t think of anything I dislike since I haven’t run into any problems with it.

Scheduling is very important at our company and Float helps us keep this organized day to day.

the speed and ease in which you can add new cards- seeing all of the different cards in the lists makes it very easy to see your daily/weekly tasks.

there is a lack of customisation in terms of where the cards can be placed on the screen, it would be great to drag and drop the tiles so I can view more in one screen. I wish there was an easier way of discarding tasks too such as pressing backspace when you select a card

I work in accounts which means I have a lot of different tasks and clients. Float helps me with both the small tasks that pop up in the day that I can easily post onto a board and keeping all my client work distinct and organised.

Simplicity, user interface, easy of use, modern approach, easy to navigate (UX)

Nothing so far honesly! Been using for months and I'm happy!

Task scheduling mostly, we've got several different projects per day so it's good to stay oragnized.

I like to have an overview on what I'll be working on and also, what my colleagues are doing.

I feel like there's not much else to do than watch my calendar. It feels like a small app with not many features.

It helps my colleagues to know on which project is everybody.

Great user-friendly time management software

There isn't anything to dislike, it's easy to use.

Team schedules

Using float is easy and very practical when organizing your work planning daily. In addition, having this in your organization you can also track the schedule of your colleagues to.

I would say that there are fewer details when creating an activity

Keeping track of my schedule and also receive new work project from my supervisor.

I love the ability to sync my calendar with my apple devices. One quick look on my watch or phone and I know what I have coming in on a specific day.

I would love an option to remain logged in on a specific device or keyboard. It's annoying to have to log in every time I use float. Also a traditional calendar view would be a nice option.

Solving the issue of being forced to work from home. Home computers tend to have multi-use i.e. not just for work. Being able to log on to a app dedicated to just my professional work is a god send.

The user interface was really well done. I can easily interact and view my colleagues hours and tasks.

The lack of a time tracking feature for each task (a manual timer). Maybe there is a timer/stopwatch, but I was unable to find it.

I was able to organize myself better. I was able to contact colleagues that were available and to not bother the ones that were busy.

I have recently begun utilizing this product and as of now I have my remaining workload arranged for myself. I went over it in one of my online pursuits and I can disclose to you that it is truly having an effect. I have had the option to plan totally all I require to accomplish for the month and what's incredible is that I get an email helping me to remember what's next to do. The support team has been incredible. They are there for you directly from the beginning. Setting up activities and executing them have been a breeze. There is an alternative to add your colleagues so they can see what should be done as well. There are lots of features within this program that they truly have considered everything.

I genuinely have discovered nothing I don't like about this product. That might change in time, I don't know.

It has been really simple to use. I am now able to accomplish the genuine work I need to. They have been very clear on how to use this software which is very pleasing.

ease of use, user friendly easy to understand

you can add more feature for users in (rights for instance)

time better orga

Flexibility, easy to use, self explanatory features

The cursor can turn into completion or deletion mode without warning, creating half days tasks is annoying

It's an easy way to keep track of employees, it acts symbiotically with JIRA

Float provides a seamless and super-responsive interface for us to manage our projects and our teams. Real-time collaboration, integration into the tools we use (Slack). In the 4 months we've been using it we've completely transformed the way we manage, schedule and track our projects. We love it.

Float has really helped us fill the gaps in the previous platform we were using (10,000 ft). Additional customized reporting would be helpful, but isn't blocking us in anyway at the moment.

Float's real-time updates and collaboration mean that we can have multiple team members editing our schedule and projects in realtime without versioning problems.

The ability to have online and accessible from device, the ease of collaborative scheduling with other managers

The font colour needs to be changed and enlarged

We can see hour production capabilities, and see what ares of the business need more work

It's extremely simple and provides an amazing overview of your team's capacity, schedule and workload

It's a bit difficult to reschedule activities and there is no option to temporarily increase or decrease the availability of a team member

We have an agency with ~20 operative consultants and PMs. With Float we manage their project assignments and workload. We also report on billable vs. internal hours

Since we started using Float we don't have to care about out allocation on each project, in our team we have many projects and sometimes it was very difficult to inform each time every person it the team that today his assignment has changed, but Float makes this process much easier

Actually, I don't see any big disadvantages in this product.

Projects allocation, since we have many employees who works on several projects.

The easiness of using Float to have an overall visibility of all current, past, and incoming projects on individuals of an organization.

Notifications, not all are accounted for.

Mostly visibility, having a bird's eye view of the overall flow of projects is a big plus.

It is super simple to use. With 90 busy engineers and designers, we needed a tool that would provide workload managers with the info they needed without being time consuming or difficult to learn. Float has performed brilliantly. It's very easy to bulk upload projects which we do once per week.

We needed to make all users 'Admin' in order for everyone to see all projects as soon as they are added (otherwise we needed to add every project to each person). But this works well for us.

We used to use Excel to manbage our workload, but it was clunky, manual, time consuming and difficult to use. Float makes it simple for everyone to enter their workload every couple of days. It makes people more aware of their upcoming workload and makes workload managers aware of who is overloaded and underloaded.

I like the user interface, and the way it allows me to look up everyone's schedule. Makes it really easy to be able to schedule projects.

Nothing. It allows me to do everything I need. No complaints.

We mainly use it for project management and managing people's schedules.

We were looking for a product that would help us plan and manage our current and up-coming projects with ease. There were lots of products on the market, but Float stood out from the rest for being very user friendly, responsive to queries and feedback, and for a good price. The reporting tool on Float is great and can be used to filter however you want. This has given us a much better overview of our staffing requirements and patterns.

One of the features we would like to see is different budget currencies available on the same team. Currently you can have one currency per team, but multiple teams. This for us is not practical as we have people on multiple projects that can be different currencies and this would give inaccurate

We have better staffing reporting and long term planning with Float, allowing us to spot gaps in our staffing or workloads and adjust them accordingly where needed.
