What do you like best about Float?

First of all, it would be the ease of use and implementation. It is very intuitive, and compared to other tools, we have functionalities that exist in others, but here we can use and understand them more easily. Secondly: Customer support. Like any tool, questions or problems arise, and the support we have at Float is exceptional, as even with email support, the responses are incredibly fast. With other tools, we even gave up sending questions due to the delay in response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Look, the tool is quite comprehensive.

My suggestion for improvement would be the possibility for admin users to configure new charts and create metrics.

For example, how much of my capacity was dedicated to billable demands, non-billable, and time off. This is important data to gain more knowledge of the operation and understand how each layer of the organization dedicates itself to day-to-day activities.

In summary, I believe the way for the tool to continue standing out is the creation of new reporting functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is user-friendly. It was easy to integrate with the existing time log system, its implementation was easy and easy to teach the users how to use it and its features. Features like Log time, Schedule time, Emails received for the scheduled time, and Log off are frequently used. The services are so good that we didn't need to seek help from Customer support, but as the services are good, Customer support should also be best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using Float 10 years ago. As our business evolved, we switched to different competitors, but we always missed the simplicity and straightforwardness of Float. That's why we switched back to Float 3 years ago, and we’re still glad we did. We've been using it every day since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

I am a designer working in a Studio. PMs are the ones who has access to edit and change my schedule. The live updates and how easy it is to use it. I use it every day, I love how it's intgrated with Slack and the incorporation in my calendar

Suggestion: it would be super nice if I can add my float time in my calendar but NOT in the 'all day' section, but to be able to edit this myself and place the time into different time slots Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Colours: The colours, despite choosing them ourselves, is very hard to know which ones are the faded ones (not logged) and the ones that have been completed.

Suggestions: Sometimes PMs add a project time but it would be good to be able to suggest times, for them to approve so their job is easier too.

Management: When you are managing, the Schedule vuew is very hard to see in detailed what are they working on that particular week. A 'loggin time' view is much bigger and easy to see, it would be nice to be able to see that from your peers.

Notes: When I write notes, automatically the time gets logged in, I'd like to be able to change these notes for myself without having to ask all the time to PMs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Float is a robust tool for resource and project management, one significant drawback is its lack of seamless integration with Azure DevOps. This limitation can hinder its utility for teams heavily invested in Azure DevOps for task management and assignment. This disconnect necessitates additional manual effort and can undermine the seamless experience that Float otherwise aims to provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A friendly user experience, drag and drop, calendar view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

When you need to change a schedule of 2 or more days, an action is required to "cut" the days completely.

It would be nice to visually shorten a task schedule by reducing the task rectangle, not necessarily changing the number of hours in the modal window, as is currently the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
