### "Not sure how we coped before Float!"

September 12, 2017

4.0

The key benefit is knowing that my team can track the tasks they are doing which makes reporting P&L a lot easier.

Pros

Very easy to use, and lots of handy features such as the repeat task option and the ability to add different departments. The ability to add 'observers' is great too, so everybody on our wider team can check in and see what we're up to/what our availability is.

Cons

The lack of a mobile app is an issue, but I believe they are working on one as we speak. The mobile website is quite tricky to use too.

### "Float is our daily go-to"

July 29, 2020

4.0

We were able to move off an old spreadsheet for daily and weekly workflow management, and get a more visual, collaborative tool which gives us a better look at our pipeline.

Pros

Float allows our entire team to have clear visibility over work in progress, resource, capacity and priorities. It's incredibly easy to use and personalise to our organisation.

Cons

It would be fantastic if it integrated with our accounting/project management software (Workflow Max by Xero) especially for timesheeting.

### "Great non-intrusive tool for time management "

June 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

Easy of use and logging time are very easy. This is also non-intrusive so engineers do not feel they are being micromanaged

Cons

Switching between interfaces is little challenging but this will become more normal with frequent usage

### "Project Planning and Resource Management"

February 23, 2021

5.0

Pros

Brilliant solution to allow me to manage my project resources and monitor their weekly/monthly/quarterly allocation with good reporting

Cons

I have struggled to find useful ways to integrate with other project management tools like Jira

### "Easy management"

August 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

Very easy to manage all projects at once from people from different teams.

Cons

It doesn't have integration with other management apps. So it's a stand alone.

### "Good Product That Could Use Tweaks"

February 21, 2020

3.0

We have multiple content writers and creative producers. Float allows us to have full visibility of what people are working on when.

Pros

I really like Float- after comparing to other apps it suits all of my companies needs. I like the visual representation of projects and I have made it that each client is a different color which is so helpful. This rally helps my team understand what is going on and what is priority.

Cons

Things got messy and stopped working properly when I added another user. The Customer Service wasn't great- I felt like I understood the tool better than them and it took them a long time to respond. They said they would credit me for the month it didn't work, and they never did. The Teamwork/Float connection was working great and then it wasn't and hasn't worked the same since.

Reason for choosing Float

Connection to Teamwork

June 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

Its easy to use user interface and adaptability

Cons

It doesn't allow 'Medical leave' and other types of leave to be placed into schedules.

Thanks for your review, Max! Great to hear that Float is easy to use and adaptable to your needs. A tip about leave types -- these are customizable and can be adjusted by your Float Admin in Team Settings.

### "Float is so easy to learn and great for new starters!"

February 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

It is so easy to use and easy to understand. Learning how to use Float is a breeze for anyone trying!

Cons

I think it would be great to make Float more inclusive for other project management tasks - ie budgeting etc

### "Super simple"

February 21, 2021

4.0

Super simple, and easy to use

Pros

The user face for those of us who just need know what we're doing in a glance, its great.

Cons

I don't use the functionality overly, so no real hassles for me

### "Simple and easy to use, would like to see more customization"

July 29, 2020

4.0

Pros

Ease of time tracking. Resources can easily click + update pre-scheduled events vs needing to search for individual tasks/projects. Helps to reduce effort for a task that often gets overlooked by our team.

Cons

Our project management tools use three levels of organization. Float only allows for Project + Task while we have an additional layer in between. This makes data mapping more tricky. It'd be good to have more customization in this regard.

### "Great for project managers"

January 17, 2019

4.0

Scheduling how many hours needs to be worked on each project or client is easy with float. It allows for the accurate timesheeting and billing to clients and makes sure all team members know what each other are working on and when they are doing it

Pros

being able to associate projects with job codes for cross-team alignment on projects and accurate timesheeting

Cons

I seem to constantly have to reset my password and occasionally float stops recognising my email address

### "Easy to use, and clear user interface"

September 8, 2020

5.0

Float has solved our time-tracking issues, and has allowed us to schedule developer time in a way that is unobtrusive and flexible.

Pros

The user interface is really excellent, and allows for both high-level (for managers) and individualised (for employees) views. The integration with Outlook makes logging time from calendars really simple.

Cons

The API can be a little bit fiddly to integrate with other services and/or buggy, but there have been significant improvements to this.

### "So Intuitive and Easy"

August 5, 2019

5.0

This program is helping us look at our pricing model to determine if we need to make any adjustments in how we bill. Additionally, the team members I am scheduling really like it. It gives them a clear picture of projects on them for the week and even weeks ahead.

Pros

This has been so easy for our company implement and the benefits of tracking $$ to time spent has been well worth it. So long Excel!

Cons

I wish I could build out our schedules from an end date automatically.

Alternatives considered

[Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/)

Reason for choosing Float

Smartsheet is so cumbersome and not user friendly. I know it's a powerful too but it's really hard to use. Float has been so easy to start and for everyone to use.

### "Does the job, if you learn its quirks"

January 17, 2019

4.0

Pros

Back-end integrations for planning and capturing time in collaboration with legacy systems.

Cons

1\. It can take a very long time to search & load the table – especially on mobile and tablet. 2. Certain keystrokes cause unexpected behaviour, such as hitting Enter when selecting a hours from the dropdown (while populating the details for a job in the popup) submits and closes the popup. It would be better if it confirmed your choice of hours (like a standard HTML dropdown would).

### "Great Tool"

February 5, 2020

4.0

I use this tool in order to find which resources are available to assign to a project that I am about to sell. When I have a meeting with a prospect, I use this tool to find out when I can offer them the solution they are looking for, and how long it will take for its completion.

Pros

\- It provides real-time visibility of the resources available and the locked ones in other projects. - provides a high-level idea of what these projects are about if they are detailed in the notes - It allows you to view the scheduling sorted by projects, users, resources, etc. - It allows you to use different colors to have a clearer view of the resources - It allows you to set Time off days and vacation days - It allows you to assign each project different resources with different hours allocated by each resource.

Cons

I haven't found any yet. A great tool so far.

The design of the software makes it very easy to read and understand, allowing me to schedule my time with great efficiency.

### "Excellent Option for Resource Management"

February 6, 2020

4.0

It has really helped us get a sense of our workload vs resources, and identified clearly where we need to invest to remove pinch points.

Pros

Easy to set up working hours, and to see visually where there are pinch points and where resourcing is stretched.

Cons

It isn't so easy to move projects around. A more detailed list view per project (where you could assign tasks to users and put provisional dates), would be simpler when setting up multiple tasks for a project or where you need to radically reorganise projects and priorities.

Switched from

[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/)

Asana was a very useful task list, but didn't handle resource allocation as well.

### "Easy to use scheduling software"

June 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

What I like most about float is that you can easily edit multiple people's schedules in the same view and that it is very easy to add a new project or extend time on an existing one.

Cons

I guess the only thing I don't like about float is that it is only a scheduling software and you are not able to input actual numbers and compare them to scheduled ones.

Review Source

Response from Pixel Paddock

June 30, 2022

Thanks for your review, Alexander! Love that Float makes it easy to keep your team's schedules up to date. It sounds like adding time tracking to your Float plan would allow you to compare scheduled vs. actual time.

### "Clear, functional and easy to use"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

I am mostly using Float within the company I work for to get an overview of what projects I'm working on during a particular week. The clear and functional display makes it easy to immediately see what has been scheduled. It also lets me see who of my colleagues are on holiday or what projects they're working on. Great product.

Cons

It can begin to get a little bit laggy when there are many other members of staff on display at the same time. Other than that, no complaints!

### "Fantastic Scheduling tool"

January 17, 2019

5.0

I use Float on a daily basis to plan the resources in our studio - it enables me to react quickly to the ever changing needs of our clients and has had a very real impact on the efficiency of our teams. I have already recommended Float to friends of mine that work in the industry and will continue to do so.

Pros

Float is incredibly easy to use and provides a clear view of what our studio is working on at any given time. The ability to quickly add in projects on the fly is a great time saver and being able to book projects tentatively helps to plan work well in advance.

Cons

We have a large number of clients and the preset colours are fairly limited - we'd like more , varied colours to choose from.

### "Organising my transition to work from home."

February 17, 2021

5.0

Really great overall experience. Working from home requires organisation and discipline. Float helps immensely with both.

Pros

I love the ability to sync my calendar with my apple devices. One quick look on my watch or phone and I know what I have coming in on a specific day.

Cons

I would love an option to remain logged in on a specific device or keyboard. It's annoying to have to log in every time I use float. Also a traditional calendar view would be a nice option.

Our scheduling has become much easier to manage since using float. We can see all our resources displayed at the same time and can manipulate easily making confidence decisions.

Pros

The ease of seeing all schedules in one easy to view page

Cons

Not being able to set up recurring job tasks to select from and needing to create the tasks each time a new job is created
