4.5/5

The Schedule feature me and my team we have never used it as we are working with the clients that pay us on hourly basis and the contract is renewed every month so this particular feature is not that helpful for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not user friendly"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

We had represnetatives who were very kind and eager to help us integrate the interface into our company. They were all helpful and very informed but our company was not equiped/ready to switch over to a new time tracking tool. The google calendar integration is also very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

There are too many functions on this platform and too many different ways to use it. This has caused confusion in how our compnay uses it and has led to lots of incosistencies which prevents us from using the tool effiecnlty. The schedule also shows such a small preview of calendar events of time allocations that it's not very helpful unlesds you click into it which is much less conveneient.

"Better than most resourcing tools but some bits could still could be improove"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

It is simple to use, fast and the UI design is clean. We use it daily and it is very reliable and have not had any bugs crop up which is vital in resourcing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Not being able to order booking in an order is frustrating. Would be great if booking could be moved up and down vertically like an Outlook calander. This way we would know which work needs to be started first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the easiest tracking app on the market in my opinion"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

The best thing about Float is its intuitive, visual scheduling interface. It makes resource management and project timelines clear at a glance. The drag-and-drop functionality is a game-changer for quickly adjusting schedules and allocating resources efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I cant really say anything, but if on the tracking sheet under project there would be a selector like jira, trello, canva or other doc/task/ticket, because right now its tidious to always copy the ticket number in to the description Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Float helps us maintain transparency with clients by tracking how much time is spent on each ticket or project. This allows us to provide detailed reports on work completed. Additionally, it enables managers to monitor resource allocation and workload distribution effectively, ensuring that no one is overburdened and that projects stay on schedule.
