### "Float- A User's Prospective"

August 1, 2019

5.0

I am a new user, but so far Its very easy to use, and at a glance I can manage my assigned projects and obtain much needed information.

Pros

the text-to-white space ratio; the UX is not cluttered; easy to navigate-the first time I opened the software, I knew where to go to find the information I needed because it is very intuitive.

Cons

The information is only as good as what's entered, so I'd like to make certain if not all fields mandatory. For example; when you click on a project a new window appears- All of the information regarding the project should be required. Also, the grayed out sections of a team members schedule- you could list the project there in a faint color.

### "Great option to pick up and run with resource management"

March 28, 2021

5.0

Overally a very good and capable bit of software but needs to branch out more to become the go-to.

Pros

Float provides great tools for quickly assigning work to your co-workers and effectively managing their resource load. The drag and drop interface is easy to use and makes it really quick to have an overview of who is doing what, when.

Cons

Unfortunately, Float doesn't quite do enough, or integrate with enough to fit effectively in our workflows. As a go-between project management and resource management, there are still systems it's integrations fail on such as Jira.

### "surprisingly fast for a planner and easy to use"

February 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

The fact that it was easy to use and plan was important to my company. Also the interface is fast and obviously it's an online web solution so it's accessible anywhere, even from outside our company.

Cons

Way better that our old planner, but I liked to be able to add personal notes here and there and integrate it to my outlook.

### "Great for Scheduling projects"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Great scheduling software at an affordable price

Pros

We use this for scheduling projects with deadlines with several employees on each part of the project, this software works very well for what we need

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at this time

### "Logging Time Off"

August 23, 2019

3.0

Pros

Appreciate the daily emails updating my schedule.

Cons

The only time off options to record in Float are paid time off, sick days, and holidays. As a consultant with this client, I am contracted for about half time. I do not get paid for time off, sick days, or holidays. Half my work week is dedicated to other projects. There is no way to indicate this. Simple addition of a "Busy" button would make it possible to flag those times I would be unavailable to this client.

Thanks for the feedback. You can set custom hours per day and the number of days per week for individual team members by clicking the Part-time box from within the person's profile on the People page. This feature is mostly used by part-time employees and contractors, and should help your client see at a glance what days you're available. Check out our support article here: http://support.float.com/en/articles/28934-set-custom-hours-and-work-days If you need any assistance, please email us at support@float.com. Cheers, Siobhan

### "Great Software"

August 25, 2020

4.0

Overall, I have a good experience with using this software.

Pros

I loved being able to see who is busy with what and how far they are to completion. Budget tracking is a great way to see if you are within your bounds and to see which employees are going over the planned budget.

Cons

I would love a bit more intergration with other systems. Maybe an API etc.

### "Float is the solution to your team's bandwidth management "

February 5, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like that it does what it needs to do which is track the time spent on projects, your teammates, and general information about the project. I don't think other programs do it as elegantly as Float or has this type of functionality down. I think we were looking for a solution for a long time and this has helped our project management and mapping out everyones workload. It is a great solution to a problem that has caused the team to be overloaded with work.

Cons

I think the UI can be improved for legibility and general aesthetics. It does not feel as smooth as it could be. I think the software COULD be slightly too niche in that it lacks a lot of the functionality of other project management programs such as Asana or Trello.

January 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy to understand, not hideous to look at.

Cons

Would be good to be able to look at overall projects, not just people. Project overviews instead of people.

### "Impressive software with a few features we feel are missing"

September 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

I love that it integrates with your project budget. It shows you how much you're over or under your projected target given how many hours you put into float. It's clean and looks great and is fairly easy to read (unless you zoom out and you project title gets truncated). It's easy to add and modify tasks and setup is fairy self-explanatory minus a few quirks.

Cons

I hate that you can't lock items into place and that when you move items around they don't automatically push out the schedule. I get that the method used here works for a lot of situations, but it'd be nice to add in some functionality. Right now, youre budget isn't the constraint. You can move hours around willy nilly and that number fluctuates. I'd like to see an option where you set your budgeted hours and the program rigidly holds to that, pushing the schedule out as needed to accommodate. And I like that you can see your budgeted hours as a percentage but the functionality is super light with regards to accuracy. We update our Float schedule every week and it's a pain to get accurate numbers given the "hours per day" model. If you end up spending 11.5 hours in a week on one project or task, you have to put them all in a single day to be accurate.

### "Time management wizard"

September 11, 2019

5.0

im solving the hiccups of meeting and review scheduling as a agency head it always hard to keep up with the developments of a project so with the help of floats we can have a integrated dairy system that we all have an opinion on based of job urgency and availability.

Pros

The ability to share my dairy to multiple coordinators and operation managers for the easy access of scheduling meetings.

Cons

The lack of time tracking and keeping most ops managers estimate a time, but there is no way to keep track of the amount of time one has actually put into the project.

Pros

It allow different PM to adjust the hours and also review the activity history.

Cons

The UI, the new design still seem to be a bit confusing, with the colouring, the action area/item is not intuitive enough.

### "Simple and effective timesheet solution"

August 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

The simple interface mean it's easy to use and timesheets are no longer a chore, especially since my administrator can pre-populate my time according to contacts.

Cons

It might be nice to be able to set your default view. For example, I only really use the 'log time' page, so it'd be good if float loaded on that page - then the UX would be even smoother.

### "Easy to use for small teams"

July 20, 2019

3.0

Good for smaller teams

Pros

It's an easy to use staffing management tool, especially for companies in services industry. If the team size is small, the project forecast and the leave tracking can be managed easily along with basic data calculation

Cons

Not very robust when it comes to features offered. Also, its integration with other softwares is limited

### "Float is good overall"

February 18, 2021

5.0

So far its good with minor issues but it was all taken care by the customer support. This is a good product which needs a little bit of improvement

Pros

Scheduling is most important nut its not user friendly

Cons

If the view for the scheduling can be changed to ease of use, this will be the best product

### "A user's honest review of Float... one year later"

August 2, 2019

4.0

Team management. The main benefit for me is to, at one glance, be able to see team availability for task scheduling. It makes my job easier to hand out tasks and see who is low on workload.

Pros

Ease of use and functionality. The fact that this software is specifically designed to fulfil a task.

Cons

Overall very good. Nothing is bad and nothing that I really do not like. I am not familiar with the price structure and never required follow up service, so I cannot comment on those two items.

Switched from

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

Excel was too cumbersome and not really designed for the task. It was a case of trying to fit the software to the required task rather than obtaining a functional, useful, intuitive software to fulfil a need.
