Great software that I rely on to keep my daily work life running smoothly

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've always liked using this app. It's super easy to use, I can access it on my phone too. I really like the fact that I can see other team member schedules as well as my own.

It would be amazing if you could build into Float and add the function to do have your own to-do lists. I think it would go great with the scheduling/planning features of the software.

Overall, great software that does the job - but could be more useful and embedded into customers' work life with some added features like to-do lists and other planning functionalities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be frustrating when I've been double/overbooked for something and I can't reject/appeal/flag the booking in my schedule. It would be nice if I had more flexibility and control over my own schedule without PM's being able to book in whatever they please so that I can raise the double booking without having to reach them via another method of communication or even in person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float has made planning my day much easier. Ahead of a project, I'm able to plan and organise wrapping up the current project, so I'm ready for the next one. It gives our team a wider awareness of everyone's time and how we can share the workloads together and prepare ahead for any potential flags.

I love using float, but there I do think it could be more integrated with other software. For example, it would be great if I could have my float schedule and my outlook calendar synced so I can see my meetings as well as what projects i'm working on for that relevant day or week.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great software to gain visibility of your own time availability as well as the wider team.

Clear & Simple

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Everything is nicely laid out and clearly colour coded.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reload popup that occurs quite often is a little annoying. I can't think of much else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising daily programming team tasks. It's not our main project management tool but it's a great way to clearly see what everyone should be doing on a given day and to plan ahead.


    Non-Profit Organization Management

Useful Resource Planner

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up working hours, teams and to allocate projects and tasks. Very clearly shows pinch points and spare capacity. Functionality to create recurring tasks helps give the work day a more realistic feel and encourages regular use.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you need to significantly change when you have allocated tasks and/ or whole projects, it can be quite difficult. For these changes a detailed list view of tasks in a project (with date and user) would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big problem we have solved is being able to demonstrate to the business where resourcing issues (specifically staff) is going to create a bottle neck down the road. Also has allowed a much more informed and reason-based estimates on project completions and timescales for resolving new requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ideal if your primary need centres around resource management and planning. Not a full blown project management tool, but excellent as a compromise between a very detailed and complicated tool, and a simpler free option like Asana.

Part of my daily routine

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
First of all, I really like the clean look of Floats interface. Everything is clearly structured and even with a high amount of people in the schedule section overview is given.
I am a big fan of numbers and statistics so I enjoy the "Reports" page the most. There I can see the current workload of my team and other company members.
Another nice to have feature is the "Projects" page which shows you information like budged and timeframe for each of your projects. To sum it up. Float is an all in one app. filled with all the information you need for resource planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really much I could wish for except one thing which isn't critical at all. I would love to have some more detailed customization options for all sections to personalize Float for my needs.
Also, a minor dislike from my side is the font withing the schedule section. Depending on the display variant you use + color of the tasks, it can be a little bit hard to read. But as I mentioned, it's a minor issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every morning before work it gives me a greater overview of what's going on today in the company. I can see what my tasks are for today and what other people in my office are working on.
Team resource planning is so much easier before. Cool features like the people and budget section giving detailed information about nearly everything needed for proper planning and managing of your team and company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an all-in-one package. Float it perfect for you.

Perfect for pure Traffic and scheduling

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, customisation, drag n drop and general user experience
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit buggy sometimes but they are minor and correct themselves
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility of workflow, for me and my team - while keeping single control of it. Also there is no money changing hands as were purely in house, and the system allows for that easily

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

    Outsourcing/Offshoring

Simple and Clean

  • February 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Definitely ease of tracking for team members.
2. Great presentation of each user's data across the board.
3. Easy to add and remove tasks / descriptions.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Lack of labels for some details i.e. Legends / Color marking and their meanings.
2. Layout is not easily customized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had difficulties tracking user's activities and what tasks are assigned for using Excel, so we always had trouble keeping up with the latest updates. With float it enables scheduling to be done hassle free, and its quite efficient per se, definitely should give it a go to figure out its benefits.
