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.

Pros
minimalistic style makes it easy to identify different tasks and task blocks
Cons
It's a bit basic in terms of what you can do with scheduling, could be more autonomous when assigning tasks in terms of setting your own colour permanently

Useful software but seems old fashioned
Reviewed on 24/02/2024
Pros
Easy to use. Easy to export data.
We used it during several years but we decided to switch to a more up to date software.
Cons
You can’t lock the hours, so every time a user is changing something you can’t justify your invoicing and reporting anymore.
Looks a bit old fashioned.

Reviewed on 09/04/2024
Pros
The possibilities with float are very high, we could have done so much more to get the most of that software.
Cons
The redundance of the tasks, but it's more due to the use we do of the software than the software itself.

Great tool for planning of a numerous team
Reviewed on 16/04/2024
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.

Own opinion
Reviewed on 05/06/2024
Pros
Resource management software that assists groups in tracking project budgets, allocating resources effectively, and visualizing workloads.
Cons
Compared to other all-inclusive solutions, it could not have as many advanced project management features as those, task dependencies or time monitoring.

Great tool overall to track hours and availability of teammates over multiple projects
Pros
overall it is easy to use and has a lot of great quality of life features for our firm. It would be great to have the ability to integrate it with our financial software, but still a great tool for scheduling out projects and teammates.
Cons
It would be great to have more integration options to make it more efficient for expense tracking.

Overall, it's a very convenient & reliable tool from a project manager's perspective. Some changes would be helpful, but in general it is a massive help in resource planning and I can't imagine working without it.
Pros
It is a great tool to be integrated with jira - it works well for our team, it's a seamless, smooth integration that helps us estimate time & choose the right resource for any jira tasks. It is also easy to follow by the users who are marking tasks "complete", adding comments, mark bookings as tentative. All very clear and transparent.
Cons
The integration with google calendar doesn't work that well. Some of the bookings are wrong / outdated / are not being updated / duplicated / not being displayed in a correct project or are missing. Luckily, the support team is open to help with this kind of issues. Also, the annoying feature is that the "View in jira" link doesn't work for duplicated bookings. It doesn't work well for our team as more people use the same tasks on jira in different time. It's impossible to search using the jira ticket number (you have to know the ticket name). Also, ticket numbers are not displayed in the “Task” field- that causes some confusion because we work with tasks with similar names.

Great employee scheduling/management tool
Reviewed on 30/08/2023
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.

It gives a good helicopter view for me and my team of the ongoing projects, up and coming projects as well as the capacity of each individual team member. Using the different colours also gives a good overview of the types of work that is going on.
Pros
I like the idea of being able to colour code tasks, assign tasks to an email and define time requirements as well as project details within a task. I also really enjoy the reporting side of things.
Cons
I would like it if Float offered the ability to change the title of some of the input box titles. For example, where it says "Project" I would like to be able to edit that to my own title.

Float is very intuitive, so easy to implement and teach people on the team how to use it.
Pros
It was a great upgrade in terms of quickly visualizing the team's capacity and modifying tasks in real time.I also like the possibility of creating a project template because it saves me time when I add new projects.
Cons
I would like the possibility of de-zooming (or making the density more compact), because as I have a big team that would allow me to visualize the big picture of the workload of the team altogether.

An amazing overview for the whole team!
Reviewed on 23/08/2023
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.

Minimal approach to project management
Reviewed on 22/08/2023
Pros
I enjoy how simple it is. Software these days can feel bloated and overwhelming and in a digital age, Float has the right balance of features and lack of, to simplify the project management process.
Cons
I wish that float had a project management feature like asana built in so we wouldn't have to use both. I prefer float!
