### "Easy and intuitive interface"

August 23, 2023

5.0

Overall it's great, just a bug/inconvenience with the cursor as mentioned. There should be a way to 'clear' the function after using it.

Pros

I like how simple and easy it is to use, makes doing timesheets a breeze!

Cons

My cursor gets stuck after I add/delete/split. I have to refresh the page to get back to normal cursor mode.

August 28, 2023

Float keeps everyone on schedule and engaged with tasks. With the features it has, it enhances productivity and the organization level of teammates.

### "Float makes profitability easier"

June 15, 2022

5.0

I don't need to spend hours sifting through reports to understand the status quo of the business and what impact will result from various changes. Float is superb!

Pros

I love the ability to analyse utilisation and schedule resources at multiple levels - for an individual, a project team, a department, and even the whole company. This allows an immediate way of getting feedback once changes are made. It also allows me to see profitability immediately based on resource actual and scheduled utilisation.

Cons

No cons in my experience. The worst we've had is a slow loading website.

### "A well balanced system which combines ease of use and richness of features"

August 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ease of use - specially the switching of my view vs company viewAlso, the color coding used in the scheduling view is very goodAnother good feature is to add multiple holidays/events on a single date, which caters to users working in different locations

Cons

When in the scheduling view, if the project name is long, and if a resource is assigned to it for a long period, on some weeks, the middle part of the project name is not visible. Only the first 15 or so and the last few characters are visible. This should be corrected. Also, I would like improvents in the view and functionality in the scenario when a resource is assigned to multiple projects on a single day or has a few hours off and not a full day off

### "Great for capacity management "

August 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

Super useful for planning and capacity resource prediction and management across multiple projects and clients!

Cons

The integrations with Trello and Xero Projects leave a lot to be desired to be honest - there is no way to link existing Float projects to projects in these services

### "Simple, visual resource planning tool"

August 29, 2023

5.0

Simple and visual overview of what all expertise areas are working on, helps immensely to plan resource of my immediate team and coordinate / collaborate with other teams.

Pros

In a consultancy environment ability to have a view of what the full team are working on is essential, helps with planning ahead and managing capacity

Cons

It is difficult to get a few of how many person hours are assigned to a project/ task. This would be useful from a budgeting perspective.

### "Float - first month experiences"

June 21, 2022

4.0

Great - it helps us to stop working with spreadsheets. It works intuitively and has everything we were looking for in a tool. We compared many tools, and ended up with Float. We are all very happy with it.

Pros

It is great that float offers, in a very intuitive way, a tool that combines everything we need: project management, capacity planning, an overview of the spend budget, a good overview of all deadlines, and hour tracking.

Cons

When you log your hours you cannot see the notes that were added to a task while planning the task.

Thanks for your review, Deborah! Amazing to hear that Float is helping you manage projects, capacity, budgets, and time all in one place! Great news -- we recently released an update so that notes on scheduled tasks carry over to logged time. Hope that helps!

### "Choosing Float as a communication tool means choosing a pillar of agility and attractiveness in a co"

July 30, 2020

5.0

What do your employees expect in terms of corporate communication? Employees no longer hesitate to use their personal tools and applications for professional purposes. Collaboration and communication tools promote new uses and new ways of working within a digital, agile company that is increasingly extended to its external ecosystem. Collaboration and communication tools promote new uses and new ways of working in a digital, agile and increasingly extended company to its external ecosystem. Float as an internal communication tool makes all this possible, bringing managers and employees closer to the company and meeting their expectations in terms of information. Fun, practical and functional, Float has become for me an indispensable managerial tool, both to explain the company's strategy and to highlight my results. It also allows me to motivate my colleagues!

Pros

I find that the features already present are exactly what I need for my start up: the possibility to call each other via Chrome browser is a plus. The mobile application is really very useful and makes Float easier to use. Not only does it allow me to continue to follow the threads of conversation wherever I am (in a meeting, on the road, anywhere), but also to send attachments (images, records, etc.). The integration with other applications is very ergonomic: I use Jira and Confluence a lot and the widgets in Float are very responsible as soon as I import a link for my collaborators.

Cons

I'm a fan of it, I find that it is not lacking in functionality, but if I ever change my mind, I know that the customer service department will welcome my remarks and suggestions with kindness and professionalism. However, I do find that the possibility of not having to change browsers and make or receive calls from Mozilla would be great.

### "Great Product!"

August 28, 2023

4.0

Pros

It's so easy to use. You can get started using it with little to no training. Being able to track time for multiple projects weeks ahead of time and creating reports to look at how much time I would be spending on each project weekly and monthly.

Cons

I would love if it integrated with my outlook calendar or other calendars so I only had to update one.

### "Float made scheduling a breeze"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Job scheduling across a large team is now much easier. Integrating with our job management tool saves time on timesheet management and ensures jobs don't go over on time.

Pros

One dashboard, one overview of all resources and it integrates with our job creation tool which makes it super easy for timesheets. Moving jobs to other days is just a drag and drop away.

Cons

It would be awesome, if a job doesn't exist in our job management tool, if float could create it via push.

### "Good for small/mid teams"

September 1, 2023

4.0

Very useful for discussing planned work for staff and looking at resource for future work. Service is always up and normally very stable.

Pros

The service is stable and always up, and new features get added without making breaking changes.

Cons

Something there can be issues with permission on what I can do for the staff I manage.

### "New User - Very Impressed"

June 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

I really like how easy it is to use, that's the main thing! I have never used it before but within 15 minutes I'd managed to schedule all my projects. I also like the budget tracking element - I have quite a complicated project with a less than 2% tolerance with the budget and Float has been invaluable helping me track that.

Cons

I find it's quite hard to export the data which we need for our invoicing - I end up exporting it in Excel and then having to copy and paste. I would love it if there was some sort of invoicing feature in float so we could generate them at source!

Response from Pixel Paddock

June 30, 2022

Thanks for your review, Melanie! So happy to hear that you're able to track your budgets effectively with Float. Thanks for your feedback about needing an invoicing feature, we'll pass that along! In the meantime, perhaps our integrations with Xero Projects, QuickBooks or Zapier might help?

### "Great scheduling tool"

August 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

The scheduling tool and time tracking is top-notch.The reports are great and easy to follow.

Cons

Task management is a bit fiddly and either too or not enough restricted.Having multiple way to define certain information (pricing) is great but can sometimes lead to a lack of clear vision.

### "Good ressource management software"

June 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

It's a good software for scheduling people's time on projects, seeing at a glance who is available and when, and who is working on each project. We can easily categorise people into teams, roles etc and then do quick searches. It's also really easy for every employee to log their time spent on projects so that we know what to invoice to clients.

Cons

It's not great for managing the budget of a project: the reports are really limited so you have to do a csv export if you want to do in depth analysis.

### "Float "

August 30, 2023

5.0

Very user friendly and easy to use.

Pros

I love that it is user friendly and easy to use. We are a service based business and it is therefore imperative that we are able to track time spent on each project effectively and accurately.

Cons

I would recommend that they enable the downloading of reports into excel.

### "Production Management Software"

August 30, 2023

3.0

Pros

It's web based and easy to use. You can track based on projects or people.

Cons

You cannot see the projection of the finance accurately as if team members forget to log their time. This is a big disadvantage and would be the reason why wouldn't recommend.

### "Easy to use and learn"

August 30, 2023

4.0

Pros

Float has been designed well to have a intuitive user interface which is easy it to pick up and learn. Additionally, it promotes a balance between home life and work life as time recording encourages me to to identify signs of overworking. Overall it helps create a healthier and happier work life.

Cons

Time recording in general is burdensome or very administrative. I try to record my time at the end of each week as a habit but I tend to forget. I also receive several promotion emails from Float which is a bit annoying.

### "How Float works for us"

August 18, 2020

4.0

After using the Trial, we found the best way to apply it to our business and implemented quickly for Live usage. We have been using Float daily since and it has been successful in providing a complete overview of staff workload and availability. It provides clarity for future scheduling.

Pros

\* Provides an overview of scheduled work and staff availability for forecasting and scheduling \* Ability to assign consultants to specific projects, while also assigning individual tasks. \* Minimal duplication of work as the system maintains the lifetime of the projects \* Ability to link to Jira tasks \* Easy to schedule timeframes \* Can view based on teams or individuals

Cons

Not a lot we didn't like, but it would be great to have; \* Task breakdowns \* Two way Jira linking (Currently only from Jira) \* Pull more data from Jira (Timeframes etc)

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Float

It covered some of the basic features of Asana but providing an overview of staff available and scheduled work, which was a higher priority for us.

### "A solid system for smaller teams"

February 22, 2021

4.0

Great system, great team. There is a lot of very good positives for Float, but I can see there is still room to grow, but I have no doubt the team at Float will progress this in time.

Pros

Float is incredibly easy to use and integrate into smaller teams. Visually straightforward, it gives you quick and simple answers to essential resource-based questions and allows team members to see what work they should be progressing and when in a tidy calendar view. In addition, there is an easy link between time in the calendar to projects that can be managed quickly.

Cons

I do find that compared to some other systems, a level of detail when it comes to finances and budgets vs resource is missing. Whilst you can get some very top-level detail, the ability to link actual time spent versus project budgets is a little simplistic and could be expanded upon to really drill down into more detail to provide better overall reports.

It makes managing your time far easier, and planning time in advance

Pros

Seeing all of your different projects in one place, being able to see what others are up to and ensuring others can see your capacity.
