### "Empowering Efficiency: A Scheduling Product that Masterfully Handles Prioritization"

August 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

What sets this project management software apart is its exceptional user interface. Navigating through tasks, timelines, and reports feels intuitive and user-friendly. The visual representation of project timelines and progress is a standout feature, making it easy to grasp project status at a glance. This visual clarity has significantly enhanced our project planning and decision-making processes. With this software, complexity is simplified, and managing even intricate projects becomes a breez

Cons

In my experience with Float, the aspect that has the most potential for growth is the mobile app. While functional, it could benefit from more robust features and smoother navigation. Real-time updates and more comprehensive task management capabilities on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the product's utility for users on the go. Despite this, Float's desktop version remains a reliable tool for managing schedules and projects effectively.

### "Great for "

August 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

How visual and easy it makes talent scheduling for our client services business! It's really intuitive in terms of its UX/UI and means that the information is shareable and understandable by everyone. It's actually created positive reliance for the business where it's become the single source of truth about who is working on which project/ away on hols and for how long, so that teams can effectively plan the best use of people. Especially as we work on multiple projects under the same client account, the tags are super useful as while we might be working for Client X, project A and project C might have completely different briefs and people scheduled on them to complete.

Cons

Probably some of the toggling features when you try to filter people across multiple departments.. It's not a massive issue, but one I am struggling to nail.

### "Float Review by Advertising Video Editor"

June 28, 2022

5.0

My experience has been nothing but positive. It's saved me time, and my agency.

Pros

Its graphic layout is clear and easy to navigate. Being able to track my time easily for timesheet reporting has made this task one that I dreaded into something I don't even think about. And it's always updated and accurate which means no more returned timesheets.

Cons

So far it's all been positive. I don't use a lot of features Float delivers but I am very happy with the ones I do use.

### "Keep Your Business Afloat"

February 19, 2023

5.0

Overall, I would recommend Float as a useful tool for managing cash flow and making financial decisions. Its intuitive interface, powerful scenario feature, and the ability to link to existing accounting software make it a helpful addition to any business’s financial toolkit. However, the cost may be a barrier for some businesses, so it’s important to carefully evaluate the pricing plans before committing to the software.

Pros

Float is a cloud-based cash flow forecasting and management software designed for small and medium-sized businesses. As a user of Float, I find the software to be a helpful tool for managing cash flow and making financial decisions. One of the primary benefits of using Float is the ability to visualize future cash flow, which is useful for planning and forecasting. One of the key advantages of Float is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to use and navigate. The software allows you to link to your existing accounting software, which means that data can be automatically imported into Float. This saves a lot of time and reduces the chance of errors, which is particularly important when dealing with financial data. Another benefit of Float is the ability to create multiple scenarios, which can be used to model different financial outcomes.

Cons

One of the potential downsides of using Float is that the software can be expensive, particularly for small businesses. The pricing plans are based on the number of cash flow forecasts that you need to create, and this can add up quickly.

### "Float Application - One of the best resource managment tool"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Overall, it's a time-saver tool for our team in the organization as it centralizes a lot of task with transparency.

Pros

One of the things I like best about Float resource management tool is that it allows you to centralize your people and project data. This means that you can easily see the availability, workload, and skills of your team members, as well as the status, budget, and timeline of your projects

Cons

A few points on which float needs to work:- It has few API integrations that work- It has limited reporting and forecasting features or maybe I need to look into it myself.

### "Eseential for PM"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

Visual format of scheduling people with the ability to adjust as necessary and the ability to generate reports based on schedules.

Cons

Inability to customize user info such as color or even assigning an icon for new PMs onboarding. Not everyone is going to learn everybody's name right away when new so it would make sense that we can assign each member of our team with a special color or icon.

### "Easy Resource Management Tool"

June 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

Our mid-size organization loves Float for an easy-to-use depiction of future capacity. Managers like the ability to change their direct reports' assignments quickly, and folks enjoy referring to Float to fill out their own time sheets in our finance system.

Cons

Multiple Float environments can't be combined nor can SSO be implemented for an organization that has multiple Float environments (without having to choose just one URL). Also, support tickets can linger and it takes a long time to get a direct question answered effectively.

### "Float Keeps You Organized"

June 27, 2022

4.0

Float took about a week to get the hang of and since then it is an integral part of our work day, keeping track of all the different projects we work on. It is a quick and easy program to use and let's you spend more time working and less time with housekeeping.

Pros

Float has a user-friendly, "card"-based, grid interface where you can schedule your tasks for the day and see what you are scheduled to work on days (or weeks) in advance. My job is project-focused where we have a large team who are all working on different projects and Float keeps everything running smooth by showing who is on which project and tracking all the utilization all the while. Also it's very easy to update your Float Card and log your time each day.

Cons

Sometimes Float can be dense especially when you first start using it, there's a lot of different options and bells and whistles, but once you get the hang of it, it is very easy to update your calendar and tasks.

### "best project planning and resource management software"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Float takes care of all of my project management and resource management needs. It is the one place i can go to to keep an eye on the projects that my team is working on, and to see what the next 6-8 weeks looks like for my team and assign work/projects accordingly.

Pros

I work in consulting and manage a team of 6 consultants. I find Float really useful to be able to manage scheduling for my team as well as forward plan based on upcoming work and team availability. I also work with a wider team and need to be across what other projects are happening and where my wider team might have upcoming availability that I might be able to use for my upcoming projects. I can use tags to be able to filter based on my preference, i find this feature extremely helpful.

Cons

I can't really think of any. It works as it should for my needs. It has an intuitive user interface and super easy to use.

### "Great tool to manage your team"

August 22, 2023

4.0

It helps manage my team's work

Pros

UI is excellent. I like it very much. I am very comfortable managing a team's work as well as my own

Cons

In the past, I said that the logging button is hard to find on the navbar. Now this button is clearly visible. I'm grateful to Float for listening to customers

### "MID-SIZE CREATIVE TEAM (20 ppl)"

August 28, 2023

4.0

Pros

Float is a powerful tool that can help the managers to make sure the team is not overloaded (or underloaded :) ).At the same time we have a clear vision if we, as a team, we can take more projects to work on or we have to raise our hand because we are in difficult

Cons

Visually could be more appealing. User interface is easy but it could be more eye-catching for the creative team

### "Great platform for staffing and management"

August 31, 2023

4.0

A good platform to manage: who, what and when. Float has maintained the visual people focus I love about the original product. Integrates well with our data compliance and avoids budget/client confidential data which will need to stay on our intranet. Presentation mode and time split functions are areas to grow functionality.

Pros

Intuitive and easy to use, focus on work schedule not project budget.

Cons

Updates are not always realtime forced page reloads required which can be troublesome for the team.

I am using Float for 5 years now. I will never change it fo any other planning program.

Pros

Easy to use, friendly interface, easy to follow by all departments

I would love for our timesheet tool to have an API so we can integrate Float, but unfortunately it is not yet possible.

### "Planning system for all business resources"

May 29, 2023

5.0

It allows you to plan and manage products, without being complicated. It is also a solution that can be adapted to companies without problems.

Pros

I like float because it allows business resources to be planned, it is a system that allows a customizable work structure so it can be easily established in companies without being complicated and with the ability to create reports quickly and accurately, it is also collaborative so professionals can also work in teams

Cons

I have no problems with this tool, it is a solution that helps to manage projects in a strategic and fast functional way, it has been helpful in my organization

Convenient platform, pleasant interface, available buttons for various purposes

Pros

The ability to conveniently plan hours on projects and set milestones, the ability to create sub-departments

Cons

That you need to separate the schedules in order to mix the number of hours on a specific daySometimes the information is not displayed immediately when you check the reportsYou can improve the system with data exports, namely, convert the CSV file into an Excel file

### "Development company taking next steps in project management"

August 14, 2020

5.0

A very positive experience allowing the company I work for to get better more accurate project plans and financial reports.

Pros

The ease of use as a one stop shop, browser based to allow all the development team (and subsiduary but linked teams) to see important dates like dev complete, bug fix windows, cert windows and release dates. The ability to quickly block out time for features and projects. The ability to add notes and details to tasks. Fully fleshed out holiday and time off structure. Robust financial reports possible with very high degree of accuracy for budget per project, per quarter, per annum. We used to get by with using Excel, we invested in Float and it has taken the companies' project planning to the next step. I would recommend Float for small to mid sized companies definitely, it is a great product boost and good way of reporting and seeing issues early.

Cons

it does not allow you to easily move a bunch of small tasks along in the timeline, that's my only main gripe, you can't band box select you have to shift select. Everything else is intuitive and easy.

### "Need to track people resources, this is the tool you need."

December 17, 2021

4.0

Overall, I really like Float. It is really easy to use. It is very customizable.

Pros

It's straightforward to add, archive, and customize your space. I love that you can give people various accesses. I love that I can look at a glance and see where everyone is at. In the last week or so, Float did a significant upgrade, and visually it's so much better.

Cons

Float can be a bit slow sometimes. I don't know if it's because it needs more bandwidth or what, but you need to be patient with it some days.

### "An amazing overview for the whole team!"

August 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's 'straight to the point' approach with giving a clear overview of how projects are performing within the agency and to give employees that overview of what they'll be working on.

Cons

A lack of a running timer for time tracking puts it at a disadvantage compared to other tools like Clockify.

Great! For basic processes I think is a great tool to allocate time to users, I would like the ability to tag people and comment on specific tasks.

Pros

Very clear and simple to use, it is easy for everyone to understand and it doesn't have too many features that makes it complicated.

Cons

You can't create new projects on the mobile app.

### "Great employee scheduling/management tool"

August 30, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like that float allows me to track what my team is working on and when, as well as schedule them on new tasks easily and quickly as needed. It is also a great tool for ensuring your team isn't overburdened on any given day.

Cons

I find scheduling different hours on the same project in a week (or longer) can be tedious so I usually just end up splitting the hours equally across the week (or longer). So it's a rough outline of what projects I/my team are working on, but it isn't exact.

April 16, 2024

4.0

Pros

It gives the possibility to use it with a low or high level of detail of scheduling. A lot of possibilities and very flexible tool.

Cons

I don't have any issue with the product. What I like least about using Float is that not every member of the team is committed in using it so we can have some misunderstandings because for instance the colleague schedule some time-off on Google calendar but then forget to report it also in Float.

### "Project timeline management made easy for our team"

June 1, 2023

5.0

As always, coordinating between projects, especially in consulting, can be difficult. We started using Float last year to support our firm's efforts across multiple client projects. Generally speaking, it's been a pleasure using Float to better manage project timelines. In particular, my firm's managers appreciate Float's ability to make resource management easy to visualize and understand with a quick glance.

Pros

Overall, the visual resource planning with Float is superb. It's very easy for our teams to track progress across projects. Project managers have high transparency and visibility into 'resource' (aka analyst/associate) staffing, and this has made delivering projects on time much easier than before. Assigning resources between team members is also very easy.

Cons

There was a slight learning curve for some of our team members, but that's really the only drawback we experienced.

I find Float super easy to use, I genuinely think I'd be lost without it. I'm a visual personal and I love how Float is very visual and I can see everything upcoming in a way which works for my brain. Definitely a good platform for any ND people!

Pros

Easy to see forward into weeks ahead for project planning and resource planning. Can easily see when my team hit the limits on hours per day to see when a project is going to need additional resource called in.

Cons

I don't think there is anything I don't like about Float.
