### "Float Review"

June 14, 2022

5.0

We track time in our department on projects and tasks for costing, and it works very well for us.

Pros

I like the ease of use, lots of functionality, shortcuts, and intuitive design. Very easy to drag and drop projects and tasks to easily capture time, and easy to export data when needed. It has many different ways to view the same data which is very helpful.

Cons

Any cons that existed are quickly updated and improved upon, with new releases almost monthly.

### "Feedback on Float"

January 17, 2019

5.0

Ensuring that the internal resources are not burning out - through resource allocation of jobs.

Pros

The visibility it gives us on all the status and workflow of all our ongoing projects against the resources.

Cons

The software has a pretty high tendency of hanging. On multiple occasions, time blocks input would not be reflected resulting in missing work allocation.

### "Float gives me a clear picture of my current and upcoming work"

August 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

Clean and easy design that allows me to quickly see what I’m booked on now and in the future. Also allows me to quickly see the same information for my colleagues.

Cons

No real issues with the software. Does exactly what it needs to do for me as a standard user just needing to see what I’m booked on.

### "Very good and easy way to manage teams"

January 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

Extremely user friendly for all parties involved - super easy to schedule team members on different projects and everyone can have clarity of workload.

Cons

No issues really - so far so good. Features are a bit basic though.

### "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

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

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. allows us to have full visibility of what people are working on when.

Pros

I really like - 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/ connection was working great and then it wasn't and hasn't worked the same since.

Reason for choosing Float

Connection to Teamwork

### "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 is a breeze for anyone trying!

Cons

I think it would be great to make 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. 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 . 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 stops recognising my email address

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

September 8, 2020

5.0

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. 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.

### "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.

[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 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 is that it is only a scheduling software and you are not able to input actual numbers and compare them to scheduled ones.

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 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!
