### "Resource planning in big picture"

September 9, 2019

5.0

Float is great tool that helps us in three ways: 1. Planning resources in the near future - thanks to this we can easily know what specialist and when will have free time for some short maintenance or start new project. 2. Planning time off office days 3. Get statistics about how much time was spend in which project in wide perspective and quickly check who and when was working on what milestone off the project for client reports.

Pros

How easy it is. To book resource or edit time range you only need a few clicks or drag and drop.

Cons

It will be nice to get notifications about not booked time of some resource and small tool for moving all booked resources for a given project in time.

### "Best Visual Project Management Tool I've Found"

August 13, 2020

5.0

It has allowed us to essentially self-manage projects without having to have a dedicated PM on staff.

Pros

We love the ease of use of Float to visualize our team's schedule. It allows us to quickly see how our people are resourced and make adjustments on the fly with the draggable task blocks. It was extremely easy to set-up and implement with our team and projects–no tutorial or laborious how-to required!

Cons

We use the basic features for an easy workflow overview so it covers all the features we would need.

### "The tool that transformed the way I manage my team"

August 19, 2023

5.0

Integration with other communication and project management tools has been a highlight because I have been able to centralize information and communications on a single platform, which has made it easier for team members to collaborate and coordinate.

Pros

I really liked the ability to have a real-time view of my team's availability and workload, with this I have been able to assign tasks more efficiently and ensure that all resources are being used optimally.

Cons

I would like to point out that this platform is not the most intuitive tool in terms of its design and navigation because sometimes I find myself looking for certain features or functionality that are a bit hidden or not as accessible as I would like.

### "Float - Quick and simple time management"

January 17, 2019

4.0

I am a production manager at a Design Agency working with designers and developers. Float allows me to track progress of everyone across multiple projects in one place. Ease of use and simplicity to update are the main reasons I chose Float. It's simple enough for anyone to pick up, the useful features can be found when you need them.

Pros

Easy to pick up and use (even for tech novices). Instant access from anywhere easily due to being stored online Automatic email updates to team. Easy to scan statistics and automated reporting are a huge win for me.

Cons

None major. One issue is that sometimes updates are missed on the email updates but we have an internal system which we use to update staff so we sometimes use that when working to tight deadlines.

### "Great Concept with Some Server issues"

August 2, 2019

4.0

Float helps us accurately manage our project life cycles and also individual workloads to ascertain useful information about performance rates and also account health.

Pros

Float is visually very easy to read and allows users to be succinct but detailed at the same time.

Cons

Float tends to not register all our changes and tends to not be completely "LIVE" as it requires multiple refreshes at times to attain the most updated information. This is mainly happens when there are multiple project managers. The export report is not as detailed as I would like it to be. It would be more beneficial to have monthly exports with breakdowns per job, per person and per week. I need to use the raw data more often than referring to the online report so it would be good to see some improvements on this.

### "Float is certainly an easy tool to use, accessible and fast to edit. It used to be cheaper although."

December 14, 2017

4.0

An overall view of the production team more clear which help us make fast choices when we are in rush or we need to find solutions. Plus a more transparent overview of the actual and future work for the team.

Pros

The fast and easy to edit is the major plus to this software. All the tools (cut, insert, slide) are helping lots to edit faster.

Cons

When you start to have a lot of persons, it becomes really slow, even if your account is always clean (archived projects). Plus, the price doubled recently, which I found it a lot if we consider the quantity of new features and updates (1) since this change. I don't see a lot of communication sharing the next plans for Float or what they are working on, it should be shared more.

### "Great for everyday use, maybe not for small projects. "

August 14, 2020

4.0

Overal I am very happy with all the (recent) functionalities that Float has to offer. Especially the budget tracking option is great.

Pros

The quick overview and filter options to see the availability of you and your teams is essential for me to get a grip on our capacity. The recent function to assign tasks to multiple members has even more improved the functionality in my day to day use.

Cons

The schedule function doesn't seem to be ideal for planning small projects that either take up a small part of the day or only last for a short period of time. It is quite cumbersome to work with multiple 1-2hr task during a day.

### "Efficient resource management and scheduling"

August 29, 2023

4.0

Pros

Float offers a comprehensive and intuitive interface that greatly simplifies resource management and scheduling. The live view of data on people, projects, hours, and budgets is incredibly helpful in ensuring accurate information and forecasting project delivery. I particularly appreciate the ease with which I can create and assign projects, as well as the ability to allocate resources efficiently.

Cons

One aspect that I find slightly challenging is the learning curve associated with the initial setup and configuration. It took some time to fully understand all the features and functionalities of Float.

### "Great software for planning but missing some features."

February 12, 2020

4.0

Overall I am very satisfied with Float, as it allowed me to save a lot of time in my planning activity and provided the company with a tool that everyone can use.

Pros

I really like the possibility of having a global view of the activities and the possibility of having a fast (very fast) synchronization with the Outlook calendar. Furthermore, it is really useful to assign different roles to people in order to define planning permissions.

Cons

I am not crazy about the graphic style of the calendar / schedule view. Hiding over the weekend it is difficult to see at a glance the separation between the various weeks. Also there is no translation of the portal in Italian, not a serious deficiency, but if there were it would be better :) It also lacks the ability to view your schedule in a daily agenda format in order to have a more precise schedule of your commitments, as you can do through outlook.

Reason for choosing Float

We chose float among all the other software seen because it provided a better user / price ratio than others in relation to the size of the company. The choice was also made because it provided all the necessary functions of division into teams, projects and tasks that were necessary for our team.

### "An ally in remote work"

August 20, 2023

4.0

It seems to me that its price is economic, besides for a company not as big as ours it is useful for us.

Pros

You can work remotely by assigning tasks as optimally as possible and in real time. In addition, by having an intuitive interface, collaborators tend to contribute more.

Cons

For companies with a more complex organization, it would require other complementary software to develop more advanced functions such as the development of complex reports.

### "A good platform for small creative businesses"

January 17, 2019

4.0

We are able to clearly see when we are running over on jobs and overall our experience has been positive.

Pros

Seeing everything at a glance. It is great to have a visual reference of the time spend on specific tasks and know when you are over time. I love that you can now complete tasks

Cons

With the update my screen scrolls continuously which is really annoying. I have a tablet and the mobile and tablet app is really buggy and not a good experience so I use the desktop version on my devices however this is still not a great experience.

### "Honestly very pleased with your product!"

February 17, 2021

5.0

Excellent.

Pros

I love the modern-looking UI and simple design, which makes our messy every day schedules seem more organized. As a graphic designer myself, I realy appreciate a good looking system. But overall it's super simple to use, simple to navigate and it reduces my time of checking and making a schedule from 30mins to something like 5-10.

Cons

Honestly nothing just yet, been using it for months alraedy and I'm perfectly happy!

Easy to use, good to work with a team.

Pros

It is easy to use, and update if scheduled time changes from logged time. Visually easy to see what is planned for the week. Colour coding helps to see quickly what is on when.

Cons

It does not always sync with workflow max.

### "Good but there are space for improvement"

February 5, 2020

4.0

Pros

Overall, it is very easy to input project and hours.

Cons

There are project report and people report that are provided by Float. But I feel like there isn't a bridge to connect people and project. In many situations, we want to see what kinds of projects that people are working on. For example, for person A, we want to see a report that show for this week, A is working on project B for 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week, project C for 2 hours a day, 10 hours a week and project D for 2 hours a day, 10 hours a week, etc. If you can connect project and people, that would be very helpful for us to plan resource and estimate the cost for every project/client.

### "Easiest visual scheduling ever"

September 21, 2020

5.0

I love it! I could never go back to the old paper and whiteboard workflow planning systems I used a decade ago!

Pros

Simple colour blocking makes workflow easy to take in at a glance (perfect for visual thinkers like me!).

Cons

Sometimes when you scroll left it takes you back to the log-in screen.

June 15, 2022

4.0

Float is solving a quick simple but complex problem at the same time. It's keeping a great overview of our personal planning within the company and not a day goes by where you don't know what to do.

Pros

What I love about Float is how easy it is to use the user interface, it's intuitive and it gives an amazing overview of your planning. The daily updates on mail make sure that you never miss a thing.

Cons

It's probably a small little thing but having to log in every time you visit float is a little frustrating, I would prefer if you're logged in right away. Nothing too big though.

The data it collects is really useful for analysing what my team works on and what projects take up the most resources.

Pros

Float is one of the most straight forward scheduling apps I've used. It has a nice clean UI and it's easy to drag and drop tasks around the calendar.

Cons

We still need to use other software to track the project status. It's not a full end-to-end solution.

### "Best Scheduling Tool on the market"

August 24, 2020

5.0

It's fantastic to use :)

Pros

So I hardly ever write Reviews, and even less on software - but Float is an exception. This tool really change the way our Agency works, especially in times of 100% home-office. It's amazingly simple to use, has a great overview of your team's schedule, and makes forecasting and reporting extremely easy. I'd give this tool 12 points if I could!

Cons

There are a few minor glitches - but the customer service team including the devs are very helpful!

Thanks to float, I can put the calendar of an entire team as soon as I leave a client meeting. With a few clicks, I can create projects, assign tasks and schedule time off. it's a great software
