August 1, 2019

### "Great palling tool"

February 6, 2020

4.0

Float simplifies the planning of resources. It is also very clear and shows when employees are off.

Pros

What I like the most about Float is that you can sort/search not only by people but also by projects. I also like the function of the milestones.

Cons

What I dislike the least is that many projects are displayed in the same color. But since I'm not an administrator, I don't know if there are more options in the settings.

### "Quick notes"

August 11, 2019

4.0

I am in general happy with the software - our team is planning to use it for a long time.

Pros

What I really like about Float is that even for big organisations - it is still fast and that the filter works very well for everything.

Cons

I still can't figure out how to add the official holidays for an entire organisation.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Float

Much more convenient than the alternative. Another reason is the integration with Jira

### "Float: review."

January 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

1\. The feature of temporarily booking something. 2. Ease of moving timelines around. 3. Ability to cut a timeline up and book another project/task in between. 4. Ability to schedule more than one project per day. 5. The regular updates and features which gets added.

Cons

1\. Lacks colours to assign to projects. 2. Would be great if a separate feature was added which gives one the ability to set up tasks per project timeline.

### "Good but not sure it's suited for our business model"

July 30, 2020

3.0

Its reasonably seamless to use but will take a little more time for us to try customise it to our business. We won;t be usng all teh orect features so it may be a little expensive for us as it really doesn't provide our teams with any additonial beneifts than google sheets other than it looks pretty

Pros

I like that it has an App that our technicians can access on company and private devices

Cons

It's not as customisable as we want for the business we operate in

January 25, 2019

### "One of the best capacity planning tools I know"

September 13, 2017

5.0

Better and faster planning of our teams and a greeat overview of running projects

Pros

Working in a creative environment, we love great designed tools. Float does not only do the job, but also looks good while doing it. And everybody who can handle any calendar, can work with it.

Cons

It would be great, if you could schedule a task with different hours/per day, e.g, 2 on Monday, 5 for Tuesday and 1 for Wednesday without create them after another.

### "Float review"

February 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

I really enjoy the fact that I can see all my colleagues and what they have scheduled. Like this, I can organize my time to lock in with theirs in case we have to collaborate on something.

Cons

I didn't find a way to copy a task and assign it individually to more people.

### "Float is easy to use and visually appealing "

March 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

It is really easy to schedule new tasks specially the repetitive ones just by clicking around. I find it intuitive and easy to get up to speed with its functions.

Cons

I would like to have more report templates out of the box. Although it can be achieved through the API.

4.0

We are currently using Float for scheduling of projects

Pros

Ease of access and maneuvering of grids. The fact that you can zoom in or out of the grid (due to it being web based).

Cons

Would be useful if you could work in reports for billing

### "Software Solved review - Admin/PM"

January 17, 2019

4.0

My overall experience with float has been great. I think it has helped in our company to stop the 'bashing of heads' over resources.

Pros

I think the best thing about this software is it's ease of use. Absolutely everything is intuitive. The sleek UI design also makes it extremely easy to read. Also the ability to share schedules to specific people is great and the permissions management works well.

Cons

There are two main issues that I have with Float. 1 is that there is no tutorial for all of the niche tips and tricks (I had to go to a separate blog post for those). The second issue is that it is missing the feature to be able to set a total amount of time for a task and the date it needs to be completed by and then automatically work out the allocation per day to complete that task.

### "Helpful for managing dynamic workloads"

February 12, 2020

5.0

Pros

It's good to be able to see other peoples workloads, along with you own. And getting emails about changes made to my float keeps me on top of dynamic workloads

Cons

Sometimes the search function isn't completely intuitive

### "Organize way to work with team."

September 4, 2019

5.0

I believe that our management adapting to float shows the value it brings to the table.

Pros

As a member of a team that use float it's a great way to share your daily or weekly work or current projects. It helps the management plan better for future projects.

Cons

I didn't find anything least, I find all function to be necessary.

### "Very good"

February 26, 2020

5.0

All in all, Float is beneficial for business management and I believe the key is in simplicity.

Pros

I liked the simplicity and the clarity of interface, may you add an option for tasks priority

Cons

I did not like that my Boss could not control my leaves and that I had to do it my self. Please add the feature to review my leader's tasks, it is needed in emergency cases.

### "If you can get your staff to go all-in, it's useful"

January 17, 2019

4.0

Float is very difficult to work with if all your staff don't get on board - we often run into trouble where someone has booked a staff member out casually and not used Float because it was a 'quick job', and then the producer is surprised when that staff member isn't working solely on the tasks allocated by Float. An integrated desktop environment or secondary task list would help manage these 'little' things which crop up.

Pros

\- Very clear readout & screen real-estate used - Works very well on all browsers/mobile - Colour-coding

Cons

\- Reduced functionality for splitting up days - Unable to mix time-allocated jobs with 'general' task lists for employees which have no discernible time attached

February 17, 2021
