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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Empowering Efficiency: A Scheduling Product that Masterfully Handles Prioritization
Reviewed on 24/08/2023
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.

Makes capacity juggling so much easier
Reviewed on 22/08/2023
Pros
The tool has a simple overview, visually similar to already known calendars. This means that you don't need any time to familiarize yourself with it. Just click and add entries.If you work with many different customers, you can create them once and then easily add individual projects within these customer folders.I especially like the fact that I can tell my clients apart right at first glance using the Color Coding feature. But when I need more information, I can also click on the entries and have access to the job number, the available budget, and any other information that might be available.Thanks Float - you make my daily work so much easier :-)
Cons
What could be improved:Currently, when I enter vacation, my projects in the same time frame just disappear from the schedule. This is quite inconvenient and should be fixed. It would be more practical to at least be warned and transfer the projects individually to someone else from the team, or be able to specify vacation substitutions so that the projects are automatically transferred.Also, it would be great if you could duplicate blockers via copy & paste. The split tool is often a bit impractical to use.

Eseential for PM
Reviewed on 22/08/2023
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
