What do you like best about Float?

Wonderful and intuitive design. Great aesthetics that lets you see large amounts of metrics in a visually appealing manner. Has never experienced any service disruptions. Is quickly able to respond to changes from large team making several updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Some of the metrics on resource planning could be better explained. The difference in interpretation of metrics from API vs the web dashboard is difficult to understand. Support does not do a good job of explaining them.

The development team does not customize the product much according to company requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Float Scheduling tool is an effective solution for managing team schedules and workloads. It allows for a clear view of both current and future projects, ensuring that everyone is occupied without being overwhelmed. The tool is particularly useful for our weekly 30-minute meetings, where we review what each team member is working on for the week and assess long-term project planning. This approach helps maintain balanced workloads and enhances overall team productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

While Float Scheduling is an effective tool for managing team schedules and workloads, I wish there were additional features for developing custom reports. The ability to generate tailored reports would enhance our ability to analyze team performance, track project progress, and make more informed decisions based on specific needs.

What do you like best about Float?

Being able to colour code and adapt the blocks of time for different tasks. I also like how the blocks of time are different sizes depending on how much time has been allocated (our previous software didn't have this). Being able to slide blocks of time around is also very convenient.

It was very easy to set up at the beginning as well, we had no trouble learning how to use the software.

We've not yet had to use customer support, but that's a good thing. If I ever did feel like I needed to, I would feel comfortable with reaching out.

We use this everyday, with ease, and it's definitely not as painful to use as our previous software. No one likes filling in their time sheets but Float does make it that little bit better.

I personally don't use any of the intergration tools, but I am percetly happy just keeping Float as its own thing on my desktop browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

It's a bit fiddly to see how much time is left in my schedule when plotting tasks in resource meetings. You need to slide that grey bar at the top across to see how much time you're over or under by, and it's a little bit annoying. I would like to be able to see the exact minutes or hours for each day. It can also be a bit annoying when time is allocated across a whole week and it doesn't split it up into daily blocks, it makes the week look all janky and unorganised. What would also be really useful is being able to plan tasks according to time, I use my Google cal to plot tasks for each day/week, but if you could do this in Float I wouldn't need to be tracking time in two different places.

Float offers us the scheduling and time tracking capabilities of other platforms such as Smartsheet Scheduling (formerly 10,000ft) without the bloat or extra costs of these larger suites. For a smaller team, it provides everything we need, and nothing we don't.

The customer support team were excellent during the on boarding process. We were even able to discuss a couple of feature requests and were glad to hear they were already in the works.

I am now using Float to plan out my teams work over the two week sprints. We all then use it to clock our time daily. The reporting feature is fantastic to keep an eye on project budgets and analyse where any issues around workload or deadlines might arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Quite a few of best features are hidden without any documentation or tutorial on them (such as holding shift and clicking on a time entry will allow you to duplicate it), and some have to work in a specific way to get right. But it's still a new product and evolving all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

Float offers a lot of features and you are able to use as many or as few of them that fit your needs. As a designer, I like being able to see how my time is allocated in the neatly organized color-coded calendar. From there, it is easy to log my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Because of its many features, it can be hard to navigate to find what you are looking for. I wish there was a basic home page with navigation links to then jump into what you need to access. As a designer and not a project manager, I don't always need access to or care to view what the rest of the organization is booked on. It would be nice to have a standard home screen where I can just access my projects or time sheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I wish it had a feature where you could link your leave on Float with your availability in Microsoft Teams to show that you are out of office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

it helps my organization know where and how I am allocating my time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Editing the time that has been logged is unnecessarily difficult. when you move the start time the end time also changes, so either you log hours without proper time allocation or spend 20 minutes trying to get the log right. Also, adding manual logs for circumstances like forgetting to press play is complicated and does not allow for a specific time of the day allocation only for the sum of time.

What do you like best about Float?

Float can help you manage your time logs in multiple projects in different color shades, it is very fantastic to show your time logs in different colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

When we generate report of the time log project-wise, it is showing total logged hours and scheduled hours, it didn't show if it was billable or not, I think two extra column can show billable hours of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

I appreciate all the features it has for categorizing the work. By project, by phase. The different colours to differentiate bookings. The overbooked visual warning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

The format is not as liked by my whole team. Developpers don't like it, but the creatives like it. So I think some of that is bias based on work style / personality type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
