What do you like best about Float?

I love how easy the interface is to understand and play with, very easy to move resources around and see what is coming in the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I wish we could archieve people on projects easily. We have projects that spam over months at a time and resources can change week to week. When you try to sort by project a number of profiles that even briefly touched the project appear and cause clutter. The only way to clean it up is to removed them from the project which very tetious and deletes any history on the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very easy to see what all resources are working on from a birds eye view, allows for the ability to plan and see what is in the pipeline. Helps highlight when we need more or less resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

Dependent on the workflow need, Float has great potential for resource allocation. It's GANTT chart visuals are great. Once the phases were discovered, it was easier to see project flow.

The customer support was strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

If you are heavily project based with short and quick turnarounds this is extremely administrative intensive. Therefore, my frequency of use has been limited.

This is an excellent project for consultancies that work on longer projects with resources...

It did take a while and still does for implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we bring potential problems to Float, they listen and try to help through additional training and support. At times, they take the suggestion/question and provide it to their development team. My assumption is that some of these developments come about when recurring problems within their customer base provide the updates that benefit us as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

Float makes time and task management simple. It's intuitive and easy to use. The team scheduling percentages is super helpful at demonstrating who in the team may be overloaded or who might have capacity. It's helped us get a better grip of our billability and share workload around more appropriately. Now Float is the first thing I check when I get to the office in the morning. I don't know what we did without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I regularly have to re-set my password to access float. I'm not sure if this is a me problem or a more generalised issue. It would also be good if you could integrate Float into Teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

Float visually organises the workflow in a way that's quick and easy to understand. The filters that help you compare different workflows are handy for overseeing the team's workload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

What I dislike is less related to Float and more how the internal tasks are underdocumented on it for my role. No complaints about the platform itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps to organise my day in terms on focused work and when I am able to locate meetings. It reduces the interruptions during my focus time and helps to report the actual time used later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

It allos me to categorize different types of jobs and allows my field crews to see where they are going days in advance instead of asking everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

It would be nice to be able to hide certain people from the dashboard. I really would just like to see my field crew chiefs on the schedule, but everyone can still see the schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping track of where every employee is at each day. Its very nice when doing payroll to look back at where people were. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

As we are working with people from across the globe it helps us keep the track of time for all of our employees and the best part is we have export the relevant data for the selected employees that helps is in may ways to keep a track of all the time spent and how can we charge the clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
