Nice interface and useful tools, but needs some adjustments to streamline usage
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to track people's available time and percentage utilization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the input methods are confusing or counter-intuitive. For instance, when creating new tasks, the duration often changes based on other inputs (hrs per day, # of days, etc). This makes it too easy to make mistakes. Also, I would like to be able to see reports and the weekly schedule in the same window simultaneously, so that I don't need to flip back and forth between tabs. Both are useful tools, but the extra step of switching while not being able to see the other form of info makes a complicated task even more complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resource management, tracking utilization and task efficiency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to set the report period to the current week (every time you use it) otherwise it will not automatically keep up over time.

The ease of adding project hours across multiple days/weeks makes organizing work really simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
That sometimes you can be booked too many hours in a day - when working multiple projects with multiple PM's. I'm not sure if PM's get a warning but a red box saying 'Hey, maybe this person doesn't want to work 16 hours' might be helpful.

A clear and concise way to view when and for how long I am working on something

Float is fantastic
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Trial it and run it in parallel to existing systems for a few weeks prior to going live.
