### "Effective Workflow Platform "

June 21, 2022

4.0

Float is a fairly simple tool that allows our team to load balance and delegate work according to project based on planning and other tools.

Pros

Float is a fairly user-friendly tool that makes planning workflow and delegating tasks to team members easy. It allows complete team and department transparency, allowing easy workload management.

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to duplicate the same projects across multiple days and team members.

### "User-friendly, with a few interesting quirks! "

July 29, 2020

5.0

Float allows us to better plan our week / month as teams, and gives us better visibility over time spent on projects.

Pros

As a company we've just moved to this from Trello as we needed time logging projects. So far this has been really useful, and we're getting a much clearer picture against the budget of a project. The scheduling side is something we're really valuing too, integrating this into Slack means we can see the work we've been scheduled on, how much time we've got booked in for it, and plan our days more easily.

Cons

Tasks- we have set this up to be a bit more like Trello for us- but because of that we miss the checklists functionality of Trello, particularly as we could organise sets of tasks for a project using a checklist. We use tasks in place of this, but these will only list alphabetically. If we number them, we can go up to 10 before the logic fails and adding '11' means the list goes 1, 11, 3, 4, 5.... and so on!

Better time logging and scheduling for project work.

4.0

### "Simple and powerful timeline"

January 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

The simplicity of the timeline is what floats makes such a powerful tool. You can not only see a clear overview of all projects, but also of all people in your team. This makes it easier to schedule new issues and see when anyone is available.

Cons

When you’re having a board with lots of items, it might get a bit slow on some systems. But luckily you can use filters for each project or person anyway, so it is not that big of a deal.

### "Float Review"

February 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

Categorise departments, I have set up members of my teams so I can keep track of what team members are working on, as well as other disciplines to allow me to plan for the arrival of new art / features

Cons

Float should show my tasks first, it's alphabetical at the moment, meaning i have to search for myself first

### "Float is excellent for Scheduling & Project Management"

July 5, 2022

5.0

Wonderful for weekly scheduling, project planning & time management.

Pros

Float is simple & effective for planning my week and/or projects.

Cons

Overall it is wonderful; it would be nice if the Project Plan screen had a summary (or maybe a list with the option to "expand" a project and/or "collapse" a project.)

Reason for choosing Float

Simplicity (I didn't need everything in Asana); just wanted a better calendar than Google calendar for work.

### "Super solid platform for project management "

October 15, 2019

4.0

Float has been vital for helping keep all work on the teams plate clear, actionable and well organized.

Pros

Float is clean, easy to use and, most importantly, helps project teams visualize their work, thus allowing for efficient and profitable project execution.

Cons

Float was simple and intuitive for me as a project manager, but members of my creative and development teams seemed to complain quite a bit. Could be simple resistance to change, though.

### "Does what it is meant to do really well"

January 23, 2019

5.0

It's been great. It's solved our issue of resourcing, and once your team is on board with using it however you decide, it is a really helpful and powerful (yet simple) tool to make sure communication and expectations of teams for the day is clear.

Pros

Float is made for resourcing at a high-level view. They do this well and in a visually appealing manner. Float is constantly improving as well with adding more helpful features. They are not trying to be a project management tool or something else, which I truly appreciate as I don't want too many bells and whistles on top of their core product.

Cons

I'd like the ability to clean and audit it a bit more, as we use it for a very large network, but that may be more on my company than Float to manage.

### "Good to manage resources in medium/large sized businesses"

April 21, 2023

4.0

It is a great tool to understand what everyone in the business is busy doing and understand what projects need more or less resources. The user interface though could be improved.

Pros

The user interface is very clean and simple and it's quite fast to grasp the concept of how it needs to be used by everyone in the company.

Cons

Some functions unfortunately are not very intuitive. Very few people in our company understand how to input data for the whole week in one single click, so they end up going through inputting data for every single day of the week and getting quite frustrated.

### "Good Software"

November 29, 2018

5.0

Personally I think it's a very good app. It's very easy to use

Pros

\- easy access to reviewing my schedule - easy access to find information on a specific project (i.e when the project us due)

Cons

\- sometimes it's hard to read because things can get swished together and font isn't very big

February 18, 2021

4.0

Very good experience overall, would recommend.

Pros

The timeline view is very simple to use, it allows me to get a quick overview of the team load.

It's harder to cut a project into smaller chunks.

### "Useful software but seems old fashioned "

February 24, 2024

3.0

Pros

Easy to use. Easy to export data. We used it during several years but we decided to switch to a more up to date software.

Cons

You can’t lock the hours, so every time a user is changing something you can’t justify your invoicing and reporting anymore. Looks a bit old fashioned.

### "This is the best product of its category"

January 16, 2019

5.0

We have a professional services team that works on multiple separate ongoing projects. This helps us to figure out how to allocate tasks, as well as bottlenecks in the work so that we can focus on easing them.

Pros

Ease of use, fantastic flexibility, and a great development team that responds well to feedback and criticism and incorporates them into their product.

Cons

Initially a little difficult to pick up, but once we got used to it, I never want to use anything else.

### "Useful feature for teams juggling multiple projects"

June 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

Float is a helpful tool that allows you to lay out your own availability and see others' availability regarding their current projects. It has pretty much everything you could need for seeing your own schedule and others, plus a nice UI compared to similar tools like Outlook calendar.

Cons

I don't love the side-scrolling feature, and I've seen the buttons you can use to navigate, but sometimes I wish it would allow me to scroll down to see future weeks, rather than to the right.

January 17, 2019

It's a great tool and really easy to use. With Float we are able to stay on top of the resources allocation over a myriad of projects almost effortlessly.

Pros

It might not be the most resourceful tool to manage roadmaps but it excels on what it does. Easy to use and since the last update it's great performance-wise. The shortcuts are one of my preferred features as it helps me to perform simple tasks effortlessly.It might not be the most resourceful tool to manage roadmaps but it excels on what it does.

### "Simple, Easy, and Affordable!"

January 17, 2019

5.0

We have been super happy since switching to Float! Cutting our resource planning meeting from 90 mins fown to 5 to has out individaul booking conflicts has been amazing!

Pros

Float is simple to set up, manage, and roll out to either a Large or small team. It is far less complicated than competitors but atill offers alot of features that our organization needs! Reporting is simple and easy to use. Best of all it is cloud based! No involvement from IT is needed to roll it out!

Cons

Standardizing some options at the Admin level would be nice. When multiple people are able to pick their colors for projects, it can look too much of a rainbow!

Pros

Cons

I don't like how sometimes I can modify a note in a specific task and it's very easy to press cancel instead of update. Made this mistake many times!

### "It's easy to see what me and my coworkers are doing, but I don't trust the data"

February 6, 2020

5.0

I can see who is doing what at a glance. I know what my future looks like. I know when someone will be on leave. I know what my coworkers are doing. That's pretty cool.

Pros

It's easy to see who is doing what because the UI is clear.

Cons

\- I don't trust that the information in float is accurate. I don't trust it to be up-to-date with changes in the real world. In a way this isn't Float's "fault." - 90% of the time I just want to see my own schedule, but I always have to search for myself to find it. This is a minor issue.
