### "Float helps our company to manage resources easily"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Such a piece of good work enabler

Pros

Best part is the User interface for float. The nice way of drag and drop allows to manage resources easily and gettings good feel about it.

Cons

The color combination is not that attractive, there should be an option to customize the theme for each organization

### "Float Review"

January 16, 2019

5.0

Extremely useful for productivity and assuring organized scheduling.

Pros

Ease of use and accessibility. Mobile application is quite useful.

Cons

Pop-up screens need to be bigger or have the ability to be expanded. Pop-up windows, when clicking on an assigned task, have a tendency to cut off some wording.

### "Great platform to use"

August 13, 2022

5.0

Float helps with time management and team working prior to communications.

Pros

It is the simplest to use, extremely well organised and allows for really effective time management between the creative, editorial and customer service teams.

Cons

At times, it tends to take too long to find available tasks.

### "Unique!"

January 17, 2019

4.0

The team loves using Float and even the slow servers can't make us give up on this unique tool :)

Pros

Very easy to understand and use, requires almost no team training at all.

Cons

It's been getting a bit more complicated and slow with every improvement. I hope this can be solved soon, because I love this tool.

### "recommended"

June 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

Intuitive and easy to use with a friendly UI in both mobile and web interfaces. Using Float has given our team insight on unused capacity and improved team scheduling.

Cons

Not being able to split tasks if they repeat weekly; a very confusing hours/day field that sometimes leaves you having a task happening for a year (still didn't quite figure it out but it's a minor issue). If you chance Billable / not-billable tasks, the hours update only after you log out and back in.

### "Float review"

July 5, 2023

5.0

Generally speaking: Month to month cost is extremely low, administrations are perfect, support is superb, connection point is a goodness.

Pros

I truly like that it is so natural to utilize, that is the most compelling thing!

Cons

I wish the program could naturally fabricate plans utilizing an end date like Microsoft Undertaking yet the data is truly simple to go into Float.

### "Great system for project resourcing, budgeting and time tracking. Easy to use and powerful"

June 15, 2022

5.0

I use it nearly every day. It is easy to use and doesn't get in my way.

Pros

The system is easy to use. You have several ways of visualizing projects, people/resources and their allocation as well as budget. Very easy for people to log their hours too.

Cons

There was a time when one of our team members deleted a schedule and it was gone. Maybe it was too easy to permanently delete stuff. In any case, support helped us retrieve it.

### "Change the way you work!"

August 1, 2019

5.0

Time spent managing an excel spreadsheet, trying to integrate or find out staff holidays and /or training, managing pipeline work and assigning staff - all this is now achieved in minutes rather than hours!

Pros

Float saves you time: when you manage a number of resources across multiple clients and projects and lets not forget planned training and AL - most organisations don't have one system where employees, managers and project managers can view staff availability. The administration for Float is low and does not require you to update!

Cons

updating a resource and having to select the Today button again - sometimes is confusing

Reason for choosing Float

Float kept it simple

### "Helped to automate manual plans"

August 19, 2020

5.0

I like using it and has sped up the process of blocking out rough plans and assigning weeks work to the team

Pros

The interface is very easy to use and onboard the team onto. It automated a lot of the manual entries we used to do across various schedules.

Cons

It would be handy to be able to make placeholder buckets for people where work hasn't yet been confirmed - at the time of writing it's only possible to plan alternative streams of work for a person by utilising a new track (paid license)

### "Great Tool"

February 19, 2021

5.0

I use it every day and it is essential to our team's success.

Pros

Gives a clear visualization of what I need to do

Cons

Nothing particularly wrong with Float. A mobile app would be great.

### "We love Float!"

July 30, 2020

5.0

It keeps us organised and on track with all of our programs + hours. It's really a great help for us.

Pros

Float is super user friendly, very customisable and always reliable! It's our best planning tool we use.

Cons

Honestly not many complaints we just always wish it could do EVEN more because we love the software so it would be amazing to be able to use it for more functions. Like if we could somehow add invoicing. Also if you could split billed hours (ex. per function). Lastly - I wish there was a view function where you could see the notes placed because we tend to use this as part of our planning

August 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

I enjoy using Float because of its user-friendly interface, visual project timelines, and the flexibility to adjust tasks and deadlines. The resource management features help me allocate team members effectively.

January 24, 2019

4.0

I personally found it really good! Loved the colour coding of jobs etc, made it so easy to keep track of things.

Pros

I liked the ability to view and keep track of my week at a simple glance. Plus also see what was coming up - made it easier to know if I could take some time off etc.

Cons

Probably that it was ANOTHER programme we were using - would be great if it could integrate with other systems/provide ability to do timesheet through it etc.

### "Great product and ease of use"

August 13, 2020

5.0

Great experience. Our team likes this product.

Pros

Its ease of use and assigning the work schedule is more flexible. Updating the work schedule is possible on timely basis.

Cons

The feature around jira integration which is missing, everytime you have to check jira and then create a task in float.

Hi Sourabh, Thanks so much for your review! We recently released an integration with Jira that syncs your issues into a sidebar in Float, so you can directly drag and drop them onto your schedule. No more double handling! Feel free to read the support article here, https://www.float.com/blog/sync-and-schedule-with-our-new-jira-integration.

### "Float is great"

February 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

It's really really REALLY easy to use with a very intuitive interface. Float is continuously tweaking features for the better to further improve upon the UI/UX. My project management team did a lot of research on resource management tools and Float was the only one that allowed for such a granular view (i.e., instead of planning sprints in 2 weeks, it's day by day). We needed that for our business as we are run day-to-day with sometimes very small tasks (0.5-1hr) and Float was the only one allowing us to get that granular. Further, whenever we've had an issue the Support team is very quick and responsive to helping us!

Cons

The Reporting tools aren't as great and well-organized as our Finance/Billing team would like. But the front-end is superior to the other tools my team considered so we are still using on that front.

### "Versatile Mutli Project/People tracking tool"

January 22, 2019

4.0

Overall the experience has been very good. I did some research and trials before choosing to pay for Float over some of the free options. I have received good service when requested and a couple of minor issues were dealt with quickly.

Pros

Visual representation of projects and resources and also the Reports functionality

Cons

I would like to be able to shift an entire project timeline as a batch, rather than have to move every task for every person involved.

### "Best in class for resource management/allocation"

March 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

I find that Float is best in its class for resource management. My managers use Float to manage our pipeline. Float allows us to see the data in many different ways and that does make a difference in the user experience of the product.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is that it could have more integrations with other products.

January 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Very intuitive and easy-to-follow. Multiple views allow me to see what our team is doing by project or by person. It's also easy to update.

Cons

It used to take awhile to scroll through the calendar, but recent updates has made loading much faster.

### "Great scheduling tool"

August 1, 2019

5.0

I've used Float for a number of years now, it's my go-to tool for scheduling resource as it's very quick to setup, and only takes a few minutes each day to update and maintain. The pricing model is also great, as it's per resource, so you can have as many (free) account as you like with access to see the schedules still.

Pros

Float is great for scheduling development resource, the biggest advantage it offers is the ability to quickly and easily make amends and changes, and seeing what impact that has on other projects.

Cons

the UX can be a bit fiddly when it comes to setting up repeating events, such as weekly maintenance windows. It does however become easier once you master the keyboard shortcuts.
