### "Clean UI, easy to learn"

June 15, 2022

5.0

We were using Excel to track activity, with poor effectiveness. Discovered Float, did a free trial, now have clear insight into team's activities & capacity to take on new projects. We are actively managing resources over 18 concurrent projects with clear view on future capacity for 7 upcoming.

Pros

Ease of use, clear understanding of capacity

Cons

No direct connection to MS Project, but does have ability to via import/export CSV

### "Good software on Float"

February 6, 2020

5.0

Overall, a great software that does the job - but could be more useful and embedded into customers work life with some added features like to-do lists and other planning functionalities.

Pros

I've always liked using this app. It's super easy to use, I can access it on my phone too. I really like the fact that I can see other team member schedules as well as my own. It would be amazing if you could build into Float and add the function to do have your own to-do lists. I think it would go great with the scheduling/planning features of the software.

Cons

Sometimes it can be frustrating when I've been double/over booked for something and I can't reject/appeal/flag the booking in my schedule. It would be nice if I had more flexibility and control over my own schedule without PM's being able to book in whatever they please.

### "Great Organisation Tool"

February 17, 2021

4.0

Very easy to use and simplistic. What we were looking for when it comes to project management.

Pros

Float is a great way for us to organise our work team in a clear and concise way. It easy to see which projects each team member is working on, and their upcoming schedule.

Cons

If there was an element of the team members being able to track their time and hours that would be great, as we have to use another platform for that.

Hi April, Thanks so much for your review! We do have a time tracking feature in Float which teams can try free for 30 days. Your timesheets will be pre-filled with your scheduled task hours, so you can simply log or adjust the actual time taken. See how it works here, https://www.float.com/how-it-works/time-tracking. Account Owners can enable this from your Team Settings in Float. Otherwise, get in touch with us at support@float.com for assistance. Cheers, Siobhan @ Float

August 13, 2020

5.0

I'm really not behind the scenes so what I use it for it's a great time management system.

Pros

It's simple to update, edit, and use. I can look to see what my co-workers are working on without bothering them.

Cons

I add projects to keep track of time work on each job. If there is a duplicate I would like to be informed.

### "Make Team resourcing easy"

June 19, 2022

4.0

It is very easy to track the work of all team members and resourcing

Pros

Can schedule the tasks for a long period of time

Cons

It doesn't give option to customize the hours for a long period of time - for example - Mon -1.5hr, Tuesday 1 hr, Wednesday 2 hrs and so on

Reason for choosing Float

The user interface is good

### "Float"

November 29, 2022

4.0

My overall experience with float has been a good experience. I would recommend to anyone. As it's helped me keep better record of people. Its also saved me time .

Pros

The one thing I like the most about float is it saves me time. As I can keep track of all my data and employees information in one place.

Cons

So far I haven't had any issues or haven't ran into any bad expectations.

### "Float, the resource manager"

September 23, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is very intuitive. With Float you are able to check your planner and compare it with others. You can create projects and add people to it, so the review is much easier. It is flexible and visually clean. It is easier to plan your work and tasks with Float. You know what types of people you have free to fill the gaps in projects, eg. if you need a project manager you can check only for available project managers.

Cons

I do not like that I can't remove default bookmarks or rename them, eg. the keyword "Me" is reserved for the current user. With "Me" selected I don't see everything related to me, as when I choose my name and last name. The second thing - you can't choose the timezones if you cooperate with other countries.

### "Float - Easy, Handy & Organised"

February 6, 2020

5.0

We went from working on a whiteboard calendar to float and we'd never go back. It's super easy, everyone can see it and we can view all of the information we need in one place (budgets, job numbers, timings etc).

Pros

\- Super easy to navigate and use - Clear and organised - Visibility of workload across the full team - Budget % remaining visibility

Cons

\- Occasional loading issues - I can't think of any other issues I've had with it!

### "Float is my go-to tool for time management "

September 12, 2017

5.0

I manage a team of 8 consultants. Float allows me to see where everyone is going to be on just one screen, instead of having to check 8 different calendars. Ease of my job is absolutely the biggest benefit.

Pros

Weekly emails, ease of adding in new projects or tasks to existing projects, the color options (it's like working in a rainbow!), and the reporting/statistics feature. It's nice being able to see current utilization vs. projected. It's very basic, but very straightforward. I also love how it's cloud based, so I can access it anywhere I need to.

Cons

My only complaint is that if you make adjustments to the weekly schedule too close to when the weekly emails go out, the changes might not always get picked up in the notification. I've worked with the developer team to try and figure this one out without any luck. It's so minor, though.

### "Float review"

June 15, 2022

3.0

Pretty good there are some things I'd want to change and have found that since we've been using it the look of the platform has changed a couple of times

Pros

That it's online, pretty intuitive to use, easy to view at a glance with colour coding and descriptions for tasks

Cons

Some features feel a bit clunky like linking projects across days and the adding / editing function for projects, it's a little annoying that you have to manually refresh before making changes to the schedule it doesn't seem to auto refresh all the time.

### "Great for a project manager who also oversees full consultancy team diary"

August 26, 2020

5.0

Very happy with the product, it's clean and easy to use. We had senior managers who use the guest function to just view the forecasted consultancy and not paying for a guest viewer login is great.

Pros

The integration options with Teamwork. The clean view and ability to import outlook calendar events directly into the feed.

Cons

There is currently no two way sync with Outlook other than an ical feed

We have been using a more expensive competitors product, which was $15 dollars a user. We made the choice to move to float because float had more functionality for a third of the price.

### "Easy to use"

February 6, 2020

5.0

I have a team spread around the globe and this really highlights what work and projects are being carried out by the team and provides a good forecast of where resource shortfalls are.

Pros

The software is easy to use and has many features that support resource planning in flexible ways.

Cons

There could be some work on the global settings where we can convert from a local currency (i.e. Euros, Pounds, Aussie dollars) into a default currency to see how projects compare with each other when normalised.

Reason for choosing Float

They solved the issue I was struggling with which is a team view and resource capacity planning. The other products were either to complex or did not have the features I desired.

### "Float is a great scheduling tool for work teams"

May 30, 2021

5.0

Float is a very useful and easy to use software that my team and I use everyday to manage our time.

Pros

The interface is very intuitive in planning your schedule. The schedule page is great for quickly seeing how the team scheduling is looking, with any gaps and overflows quite easily visible.

Cons

The finance and budget components of the software I don't find as useful, as they don't offer reporting in as much detail as required.

### "Organized Schedule and ease of use"

February 14, 2021

It's great to see all the company schedule in one page and organize project orientation if seconds.

Pros

The website is easy to use and quick access using web browsers and interface is good enough on all browsers.

Cons

the application is slow to use on android and ios devices, take a lot of time to load each time you open it.

We'd welcome you to download this and give the new app a go. We'd also love to hear your feedback via a review in store or email us at support@float.com. Thanks again! Cheers, Siobhan

### "Love this product!"

August 25, 2020

5.0

We have ERP software that does elementary scheduling and was customized to manage some of our production processes, but I found Float as an EXCELLENT and SIMPLE tool to schedule and track secondary processes that help us be more efficient and communicate more effectively with sales. Probably not a typical use of the software, but I find it fantastic!

Pros

It is extremely simple to visualize your projects and communicate timelines.

Cons

Can't say anything negative at this point. I've used the software for over a year to schedule vehicles through our manufacturing process and find it to be outstanding!

September 9, 2019

4.0

Float makes scheduling very easy, and we really liked how you could simply move boards around which made updates painless and quick.

Pros

Float is very easy to use. We had brand new project managers come in and barely had to train them on how to use the software, because it's intuitive and easy.

Cons

While the software is great and certainly accomplishes the job, it is a very simple tool. We found ourselves switching to another resource that could handle more functions.

### "Data mining and reporting"

January 17, 2019

4.0

It's been a great experience. Our entire team is using Float and it is one of the best project management tool. Kudos to the entire Float team.

Pros

Data mining features are best. The search capabilities and capturing the data from the group/project/resources level is just perfect for any project.

Cons

The reporting can be enhanced to capture high-level information required for the management.

### "Solid, straight forward tool for resource scheduling"

September 4, 2019

5.0

Float is a great tool for us to quickly run through resource allocations across projects. It's intuitive and uncomplicated, which means we can conduct a resourcing meeting in under 30 minutes and get back to billable work.

Pros

Float is great for planning out upcoming weeks of tasks across multiple individuals. We do weekly planning using this tool to make sure all team members are properly allocated.

Cons

Since Float doesn't have timekeeping capabilities, it's only half the solution we need. We use a separate timekeeping tool (Harpoon), so we have to transcribe our daily tasks between tools. This also means that Float doesn't have the data necessary to compare allocated hours versus actual hours, so the reporting features aren't useful to us. That said, it does resourcing allocations simply and effectively, so it's worth the inconvenience.
