"Easy to use resource allocation"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

Really easy to deploy and use, good learning curve. See in one layout all the resource allocation and filter by projects and employees (even inside the reports) are great features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Even when it's easy to deploy and the learning curve is asequible, requires more clicks than expected to control a full workforce can be long. A more detailed report would and custom fields on projects and employees be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float review"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

I like the fact that I can see all my colleagues' tasks. So, I know what they're doing and when I can bother them. This also helps to lock in my schedule with them, so I can work on my individual tasks when they're not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

This program has pretty much everything you need and then some more, so most of the problems come from the fact that I can't find a certain functionality. It gets easier with time and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool to track time."

2.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

It's easy to track time spent and my planned schedule for the current (and following) week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

When logging time, it could be easier to spot wrong weeks, specially for recurring tasks. If I'm logging time on a task for the future, it should prompt me to confirm whether I'm not making a mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float is one of the best tools we use today"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

I can see a complete overview of all the activities, tasks and the projects in the area at the office at the same time, and I can see the current projects to clearly define the schedule I need to focus on. I also like to have specific tasks within the projects because many of them have long deadlines and tasks with different people with different responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

It may be useful to have the possibility to spread the days less evenly, for example by spreading the work over two days, but giving more time to one person than to another instead of giving the same schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

I encourage you to think about trying out a programming program, do yourself a favour and try Float. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This is a tool that makes it easier to follow the mission without having to solve all other problems. As an agent, I can log in quickly, review my tasks and then leave without losing time to interact with anyone else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
