### "I use float to plan the work of 25+ developper and project manager located in different countries"

March 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

Float give us a visual way to plan our week. With the interface you an easily make change without having to reorganise everything manually as Float will do it. It's also very useful to be able to gather very detailed metric in order to calculate ROI of each of our project. Finally I like the design, very modern and simple so you won't be distracted.

Cons

I would will be happy to have a Jira integration in order to directly link tickets to my task instead of putting URL in the note.

### "Keeping everyone on the same page"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's easy to schedule, reschedule and move projects around. This allows us to always see what our capacity is and where we might need to divert resources. The team always knows what they should be working on and what is upcoming.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to split projects or change details. And the mobile experience isn't that great.

### "Very happy with Float"

September 1, 2023

5.0

We are able to track availability and schedules of employees in our entire department without needing anyone to specifically manage this.

Pros

We wanted a way to easily track productivity and schedules for the staff in our office. We also use the tool to help staff with forecasting their schedules.

Cons

Float has been very easy to integrate. I am not familiar with all the functions, but right now we don't have reminders set up through Float which would be useful to remind staff to utilize it.

### "Unbeatable task and team manager"

July 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy, Easy, Easy! Uncluttered and extremely intuitive user interface. Basically no learning curve, even for unexperienced users. Despite its clean and tidy interface, Float is still ideal for enterprise use. It sports a very powerful team manager platform, perfect to assign and follow tasks, instantly spreading any update with team members. Automatic reports allow to keep under control time consumption.

Cons

Float run in cloud, there's no possibility to implement a self hosted solution.

Reason for choosing Float

User interface cleaner and easier.

### "Resource View"

March 31, 2021

5.0

It would be a perfect project management tool but needs more work. We are purely using it to manage resources and have other tools/softwares supplementing.

Pros

The visual look and similarity to the age old resourcing view that came out of excel. It makes scheduling easy

Cons

Spilt and having to right click and come back to add/edit every single time. Generally its working well for what we require of it

Alternatives considered

### "Useful tool for day to day workload"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Float is a very handy tool to let workers know in advance what projects they'll be working on and whats coming up in the near future too. For our company also its a great way of knowing exactly which project is allocated to you in order to log your time correctly.

Cons

My least favourite thing is something they have removed recently, which is allowing you to copy the text on each item on float. This allowed me to quickly find the tickets for said projects I'm assigned too.

### "Float"

August 22, 2019

4.0

Good

Pros

Easy - if there were more functions it would become cluttered. Simple is good.

Cons

You used to see your time first when you logged in, now you have to type your name in. That's annoying. I feel bad for whoever's name is first in the alphabet.

### "Float- making cost and time management easy for multinational project teams."

August 25, 2023

4.0

Pros

It gives a great overview of fees spent on projects in real time as team members log their hours, and is broken down into different phases. This makes cost management for a project manager accurate and easier.

Cons

Reporting functionality can be better by having an option to capture estimates vs actuals not just scheduled vs logged. Employee hourly rates don't update in bulk on all of their projects, meaning it must be manually done on every single project, resource by resource.

### "Great tool for collaborative working"

August 14, 2020

5.0

Makes working with the team a lot more transparent

Pros

It's a great tool with the right amount of inputs to make organising, filtering, and managing time across the team easy. Great for collaborative work and essential for working from home in the covid-19 pandemic.

Cons

It would be great to see a tasklist integrated into the software - so a task could be assigned an amount of time etc.

### "A great every day tool"

June 24, 2022

5.0

It is very helpful in keeping up with my schedule. I have a clear understanding of my workday timeline. It's a great way to let my colleagues know of my workload every day.

Pros

It is perfect for keeping my work schedule organized. I have a clear view of how much time is left in a work week and that just makes life easier

Cons

I would like to have an easy way to overview how many hours I spend each day without having to add them up.

### "Float for time management"

January 17, 2019

3.0

Problematic - not 100% sure this is floats problem, as it seems designed for the restaurant/service industry, and we are more a agency/service business.

Pros

I like the fact you can filter and search by people and/or project

Cons

I don't like that you cannot see 3months in advance on 1 screen. It's still laggy when scrolling, we have 70 people timesheeted and we have project managers filling this in, they find it cumbersome. The repeating tasks are not well formed, as in if you set a repeating weekly task then want to edit one week to be say 3 days, it won't let you do it. We have other awkward things around adding contractors or people leaving jobs, it would be nice if Float had more sample data as I think sometimes we uncover usecases they haven't tested for - atleast tested the UX for. I'd love it to improve, as the last speed improvement they did was a step in the right direction, but more customisation is needed.

### "Top resource planning and scheduling tool"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ease of use of Float it top class. From the creating of projects to assign resources to, creating of tasks in the projects and managing the milestones is super easy. The calendar grid format makes it really easy to see what resources are assigned to and makes it really simple to manage your resource scheduling. Access management is good too. We make use of the Float API suite too to automate our team's approved leave from our leave management system to Float and it works really well. The reporting is decent. The UI is a delight to work with. There is not a lot you cannot do with Float.

Cons

The only small gap I have found is the operational reporting. While there is a weekly view, it does not seem to offer a day-by-day report that can be imported into Excel (through CSV or other means).

### "Effective Resource Management with Float: A Review"

January 21, 2023

5.0

Overall, I've been pleased with my experience using Float for managing my team's resources. It's easy to use and keeps everyone organized, but the mobile app could be better.

Pros

Float has made managing my team's workload a breeze. The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and the real-time updates keep everyone on the same page. Highly recommend!

Cons

While Float has a lot of great features, the mobile app could use some improvement. It's not very user-friendly and often crashes.

Switched from

[Portfolio Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/82678/LiquidPlanner/)

Float stands out among other resource management tools for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and real-time updates. It's a great choice for teams looking to streamline their workflow.

### "One of the better project management tools out there"

September 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that you can split bookings and set different hours on different dates, rather than blanket booking a full resource.

Cons

I dislike that you must click more than 2 times to add a new project. It's an extra step that I find a bit more cumbersome than other project tools.

Switched from

[Toggl Plan](https://www.capterra.com/p/140685/Teamweek/)

Teamweek was too simple and geared towards smaller organizations. It didn't offer the features for larger, complex projects.

We love using float in our studio as it helps with workflow and assessing whether we can take on more work or not. It's easy to set up and integrate within our processes.

Pros

August 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

Straightforward to use for tracking hours worked each day. Great for reporting to my company.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. Perhaps an intiutive way to see missing time (per day instead of for the full week) when logging hours.

January 23, 2019

4.0

Very good. I've tried several other similar SaaS providers and gave up because they were way too complicated and I couldn't figure out how to customise them for my needs.

Pros

Visual and intuitive. No hidden menus and no need to read directions. Very easy to set up a new project. It just works.

Cons

The Archive feature is a bit opaque. Once something is archived, it sows up in some searches but not others. that makes it hard to track down where extraneous data is coming from in the reports.

January 16, 2019

Float has helped us keep a birds eye view on who's working on what

Pros

The software is very quick to get going with, as there is minimal setup and information can be entered quickly on the fly

Cons

It's a little buggy still. Sometimes I just have to refresh in the middle of using it to see updates or continue to work.

### "Float Review"

June 15, 2022

5.0

I'm really satisfied with Float. I was introduced to it through my Team and it has been a huge help in my time management(given i work from home, the necessity for float increases).

Pros

The new update has made it much easier to schedule, log and update tasks as they are the features i used most, the same can be said for online time tracking and reports.

Cons

So far i think the occasional crashes are a bit off putting.

### "Great for balancing our resources"

August 14, 2020

5.0

I think Float is having a real positive impact on our project management team and is becoming more the useful the more we use it.

Pros

As both a user and administrator of Float at our company I'd say my favourite feature is the UI design of Float. It looks great and I never have to to look hard to find the information I need - it's all very intuitive. I also love the daily email digests that come through. Way better than any 'to do' software I have tried in the past. The reports visualisation is fantastic too, and is something I'm only just discovering.

Cons

I'd love to use time logging / timesheets but cannot for the life of me figure this part out!

Reason for choosing Float
