Simple and Effective Time Tracking and Scheduling Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Float offers us the scheduling and time tracking capabilities of other platforms such as Smartsheet Scheduling (formerly 10,000ft) without the bloat or extra costs of these larger suites. For a smaller team, it provides everything we need, and nothing we don't.
The customer support team were excellent during the on boarding process. We were even able to discuss a couple of feature requests and were glad to hear they were already in the works.
I am now using Float to plan out my teams work over the two week sprints. We all then use it to clock our time daily. The reporting feature is fantastic to keep an eye on project budgets and analyse where any issues around workload or deadlines might arise.

What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few of best features are hidden without any documentation or tutorial on them (such as holding shift and clicking on a time entry will allow you to duplicate it), and some have to work in a specific way to get right. But it's still a new product and evolving all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we were only doing time tracking with no real way to analyse the data. Now we can use Float to not only track our time, but analyse it against project budgets, forecast work to see if we calculating those budgets correctly, and easily present the teams workloads to upper management.
Float helps me to effectively manage my schedule
What do you like best about the product?
Float helps me to effectively manage my schedule, as well as to delegate tasks, in a way that Outlook alone simply doesn't allow for
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit slow at times, and a bit buggy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps me to prioritise tasks based on urgency and budget
Senior designer
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience, how it made my working week smoother and more effective
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can think of specifically. Maybe the price? It could be cheaper.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been using float for over a year now and we can see the impact that has had on our team. More transparency and clearer plan for the week.
Easy and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Lightweight and easy to use interface which is crucial for a tool I use daily. It has all the features I need for tracking time across team members and quickly identifying capacity. Including float in our workflow was straightforward and we were supported during onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I can think of at the moment. It would be great if there was an easy way to integrate with google calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking and reporting time and identifying unused capacity. Easy resource allocation for new projects.
Planning is good, logging not
What do you like best about the product?
I like the planning tool the most. As a developer I always see directly on which project I'm planned on
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the logging. It is difficult to adjust the start time if you forgot to push the start button. Further, the two types of logging hinder each other. For example, if you push the start button, then you see the old suggested logging time still in the popup window.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier we used Excel for the planning which was really difficult to use. Float is much better. Further, the roles (planning, customer) within the company are better visualised and more usable.
Easy resource planning and management
What do you like best about the product?
You have all the necessary tools at your fingertips and it is easy to manage. You don't need specialized training
What do you dislike about the product?
Leave management is not very developed, but you manage with what exists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and resource management of a 7 person team.
Where I go, Float goes
What do you like best about the product?
Float makes resourcing and scheduling clear and simple. You can see at a glance who has capacity and who doesn't.
Logging time is more efficient as it's an easy button push rather than filling out spreadsheets!

What do you dislike about the product?
Some fetaures are more geared toward longer running projects will minimal phases or tasks. Not all projects are as liniar so having options that are geared toward shorter/multiple projects with more tasks/stages would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple teams and projects, this simplifies who's on what task for what project per day. Everyone has the same view and can access clearly laid out information.
Have introduced Float in my new job to manage resource planning better
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the clear UI with drag & drop, easy tool to plan out resources and see them at a glance, it gives our developers a better idea f what they're supposed to work on and when, very good customer support with short response times, it's very easily set up, it has become an essential tool that we use daily in my team
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to create a new task in a project as I add the time to someone's schedule. I don't love the extra step of going to the project first to add it there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we used Float we haven't planned our resrouces ahead of time so it has helped us visualise resource availability as well as capacity.
One Stop Shop
What do you like best about the product?
The Feature to schedule time is one of the key features on float, it helps me calculate the capacity, schedule overtime and track the hours logged
What do you dislike about the product?
Earlier when we on boarded Float it was a bit slow however timely changes were made and now it's very effective to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Float is solving for us is scheduling hours which helps us track resources and time tracking helps us identify the time spent on the specific projects we have.
Manageable and portative
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Float for our team planning and scheduling needs, and it's been a great fit.
One of the standout features is how easy it is to access the app on the go.
The mobile integration is smooth and reliable, making it simple to check schedules, make updates, or review plans directly from a phone, no hassle.
Float offers just the right amount of features for our needs.
It’s not overloaded with unnecessary complexity, which makes onboarding and daily use straightforward for everyone on the team.
The interface is clean, intuitive, and helps us stay organized without getting in the way.
Overall,
Float has streamlined our planning process and made team coordination much easier. Highly recommended for teams looking for a lightweight yet powerful scheduling tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
one area where Float could improve is in handling daily processes within larger projects.
It would be helpful if it were easier to assign recurring or sequential tasks across multiple team members within a single project. Right now, that kind of planning takes a bit more manual effort than we’d like.
Overall, Float is a reliable and streamlined solution, but a few enhancements in project task management would make it even better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Float, coordinating tasks across multiple people often meant juggling spreadsheets or scattered calendar invites. Float brings everything into one place, making it easy to see who’s doing what and when.
The ability to access Float on the go is a big win. Whether we're checking schedules during a commute or making quick updates from a phone, the mobile integration keeps us connected and responsive.
