"With Float you can forecast your budget expenses and manage inventories"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

This solid resource management software has many positive features among which I can first mention its interface which is very intuitive and with a really fantastic design, it also offers a lot of collaborative tools for project planning and scheduling of real-time tasks, The drag and drop function is excellent as well as its tools for reporting and editing, is a highly effective platform for forecasting budget expenditures which is very helpful to develop future plans that allow us to function according to the capacity and real resources finally presents a lot of dedicated integrations with Slack, Teamwork and Google calendar just to name a few Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Some of the negative points that I have found in this software are the mobile application is very poor even I do not find a utility I would like to improve this, I am not very satisfied with the search functions of this software is actually very complicated to schedule projects, labels and departments, the time tracking of each activity that is running many times is inaccurate what is a major problem especially for those who carry out the functions of manager finally we have your technical support which I consider is very poor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

Float is one of the most powerful software I have used for resource management and planning, this is one of the main reasons why I would recommend this software, however it has other strengths that make this software a real business tool, for example its interface is easy to use and it is loaded with great tools that allow users to divide, drag and duplicate and insert tasks without any effort, besides that it has one of the best prices in the market which is perfect for smaller organizations that want to grow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Much of my organization uses Float for project planning based on employee capacity where we can also set individual work hours, add holidays, holiday schedules and create a detailed description where we can visualize where and when an employee is working, budget forecasting tools are very useful within my organization and have allowed us to solve a lot of problems and create schedules that really work and are effective finally it has helped us much better schedule our employees through messaging functions, reports and schedule distribution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float is fantastic"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

Float provides a seamless and super-responsive interface for us to manage our projects and our teams. Real-time collaboration, integration into the tools we use (Slack). In the 4 months we've been using it we've completely transformed the way we manage, schedule and track our projects. We love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Float has really helped us fill the gaps in the previous platform we were using (10,000 ft). Additional customized reporting would be helpful, but isn't blocking us in anyway at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trial it and run it in parallel to existing systems for a few weeks prior to going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love it"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

It is extremely easy to schedule new tasks, to keep track of the total time spent on each one and of the people involved in the project.

The Reports page is super useful for keeping track of the total time spent working, which could later help in better time estimations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
