### "Great scheduling"

June 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

Easy to digest interface, easy to edit and change blocks when needed

Cons

Would like to see the ability to make items more detailed like attaching briefs/docs, more of a collaborative aspect with other colleagues. Currently integrate with Monday.com and would like to only use one scheduling website

### "Easy to start with"

January 17, 2019

4.0

We needed a day-to-day overview of or resources, including contractors. We started with Excel but that was hard. Float allowed us to set up an initial schedule for a few months in just hours.

Pros

An easy start for scheduling multiple people of multiple teams. Float gives a nice overview and had good reporting functionality

Cons

Scheduling meetings for multiple people requires the meeting to be scheduled for each individual. Then when for example the meeting date changes all separate items need to be rescheduled.

### "Great software"

August 2, 2019

4.0

Float allows the entire studio to understand what they're booked on and gives the managers a greater understanding of when tasks are completed.

Pros

Float is a really helpful piece of software, especially for running studio resourcing. The flexibility of being able to move jobs between different resources is great. Definitely one of the easiest resourcing tools i've used.

Cons

After doing a a few resource moves the system gets a bit buggy and you have to refresh or sometimes log out and log back in again to see the changes you've made.

### "Helps us a lot with planning resources"

January 21, 2019

5.0

Affordable tool that does exactly what it was meant for. Speeds up our resources planning and overseeing potential delays or bottlenecks.

Pros

Ability to switch between different views, ease of access - especially when it comes to merging and splitting tasks.

Cons

Can't think of anything :) With many users (over 50) it tends to become slighlty slowher

### "Float for three years"

August 13, 2020

5.0

We have used this for three years and will continue to use it. It is easy to use, functional and allows us to do everything we need.

Pros

We can easily book our team of editors on both commercial and internal jobs. We are the biggest media company in New Zealand and this has proven to be the best 'booking system' for running post production.

Cons

The iPhone app is a bit slow and clunky.

### "The Way It’s Done"

April 13, 2019

5.0

This allows me to manage our workload from start to completion. The integration with other tools is essential for letting our creatives “use the tool that helps them work well” and gives us the insights we need to reasonably receive and assign projects.

Pros

This program is incredible and so reasonably priced!

Cons

The design is a little basic compared to other options.

### "4 Weeks impression"

August 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Its fast and user friendly. team meetings go a lot faster now and we have more time to do actual work. One last feature is that make easy to coordinate work between teams in the company.

Cons

Our company accountan software is based on Deltek and we need to log time twice, one in float and one in deltek so it will be nice way for this 2 to interact or add a package for accounting.

### "Quick and Easy!"

January 17, 2019

5.0

It's still quick and easy even with its very few flaws. my coworkers and I are all scattered around the country so its nice to be able to quickly look at an upcoming job then find out who is on it with me without having to call them all and find out who I'm working with!

Pros

I've only been using it for about 6 months but I love how clean and to the point it is. I find my name and find out what my duties are for that day. I travel a lot so its really nice to be able to look at a week and see where in the country I may be. It allows me to start planning my travel and some sightseeing with plenty of time to spare so that once the time comes, I just get on a plane and go to work!

Cons

There's no Android app. That's a big turn off but I manage. I'd really appreciate this functionality in the future. I'm not sure if its just me but when I log in on my computer, each area takes up the whole screen. its quite strange. I have to scroll to the next person even though they should be smaller boxes. on my phone they are almost too squished to read and I haven't found a way manually size the boxes.

### "Super easy to use, very simple"

February 4, 2021

4.0

Basically each monday I open float and check the projects I need to work on. If i need to know what the team is working on I can also easily search them using the search bar and know their schedule

Pros

I open my float to know the project I need to be working on. It also allows me to know what the other members of my team are doing.

Cons

I cannot add information or task to the day assigned to me (thus making it useless for real planning)

### "float — a nice tool for organisation and structure"

June 28, 2022

5.0

float in general is nice to organize yourself but also your team.

Pros

i really much appreciate the minimalistic and simple surface for users.

Cons

the editing is easy, but there should also be something like a duplicate tool for every task.

Thank you for your review, Eva! Glad you're finding it easy to organize your team with Float! A quick tip for duplicating tasks -- try holding the shift key, then click and drag the task you want to copy!

### "Great schedule managing program"

February 27, 2020

5.0

Our business model is based on many freelancers filling in different jobs/positions. The program helps is organizing many people's different, ever-changing schedules.

Pros

What I appreciate most about Float is the ability to connect multiple team members to use a synced, scheduling program. Multiple team members use the program and, being part of the management team, it's easy and beneficial to seeing everyone's schedule at a given time.

Cons

I think the one thing missing that stands out is the ability to undo a specific action, especially in the case something is a project or team member is deleted. We ran into a situation where a team member accidentally was deleted, but we were able to re-input his data/schedule. It was fine, but it would have been easier if there was the ability to undo the action. Other than that, the program is working swimmingly for our needs.

August 23, 2023

Overall - best experience specially in project management

Pros

Project Management , which you can schedule timely and accurate, also you're able to relate your schedule to other workmates.

Cons

Sync to other software like workflow max, not 100% accurate

### "Very intuitive and easy to use"

February 17, 2021

4.0

Overall I love the platform and ease of use

Pros

Setting up projects is very easy. Training the team was a breeze and once set up, the UX is so intuitive that everyone is using it like they've been on Float for years. Drag and drop functionality for the scheduler is very useful to. Great took to see who's doing what at a glance.

Cons

Not sure if it integrates with Asana, we use both but I believe we use them independently from each other. Putting hours on one and reflecting on the other would be amazing

### "Float User"

February 18, 2021

5.0

Overall a very easy to use planning tool, that has helped our organisation

Pros

The software is quick and easy to use and update. Everyone can easily review and track projects.

Cons

We plan people only, but these people use equipment and if two people are planned on two separate projects and both need the same piece of equipment at the same time there is a clash, the software does not pick up.

Ease of use

### "Useful software to track time"

January 17, 2019

4.0

We are able to better track our time against projects to make sure we are charging appropriately.

Pros

The design is easy on the eye and intuitive.

Cons

It can feel a little clunky at times and buggy. For the most part it is ok, but some of the processes could be easier and more flexible in how a user can interact with them.

### "Excellent for easy Project Scheduling"

July 30, 2020

5.0

Excellent !!!

Pros

I am using float for almost 2 years not and I am in love with it!! It made my life easy when I am working on multiple projects with easy navigation, clean design and easy to understand interface. The reporting tool in float is an excellent tool to get an insight of billability plus more for whole workforce. Export feature allows to easily export whole data in CSV format for further analysis. Notification also serves a useful purpose which notifies user through the app or email when a change is made or new item being added. I highly recommend Float for managing projects, scheduling and resources.

Cons

Nothing as of now as it has all essentials features inbuilt.

### "Float's changing the way my company is resourcing our time!"

February 17, 2021

4.0

Ever since the pandemic kicked in, we have gone from being highly local - staying close to our separate offices in the US - to deploying people regionally. Without Float, trying to maintain a view on what's happening, who is available, and what everyone is working on was a pain-staking nightmare. Much of thathas been solved through Float's functionality and ease of use!

Pros

Great cross-office reference tool to see how everyone is being deployed. Super easy to update information on projects and timelines.

Cons

Some of the project input tools are clumsy for me to use. It's very intuitive - so much so that I'm often having to go back to correct information that was automatically filled in.

### "Great Software for Time management, Simple to use and easy to follow in realtime"

February 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

It's simple user interface makes it easy to follow for any user. It also has real time update capability so that you are always informed of what you should be working on at any current time.

Cons

I think tasks and notes should be displayed in small font or more obvious when you log time. The little note in the top right hand corner of the project tag can easily be missed, Also a feature to unlog time, instead of having to remember if you misclick

### "Good number of features without going overboard"

February 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

Float has a nice clean interface with a powerful search feature so you can filter down by person, client, project etc. very quickly and easily. The documentation for Float's APIs is nice and clean. Although our software doesn't naturally integrate with Float, we've been able to use the API to bring projects in automatically from our sales tracking platform.

Cons

The way that people's time commitments on other projects are displayed on every project is useful to make sure nobody is over-resourced. However this means that each project can take up a fair amount of space, and using placeholder people/roles is a nightmare because they look incredibly over-booked if you're using them across many projects while planning.

### "Float keeps me organised"

February 17, 2021

5.0

very easy to use and keeps me organised when I have 50 tasks a day to get done!

Pros

I write down all of my tasks across different clients onto the boards. It is a super user-friendly and intuitive system. I find it helps me massively brain dump all of my tasks and have a clear system for keeping on track of everything.

Cons

I wish there were more options for customisations such as easily changing card and list colours and moving them more freely around the page
