"Adorian Float Review"
What do you like best about Float?

The user interface was really well done. I can easily interact and view my colleagues hours and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

The lack of a time tracking feature for each task (a manual timer). Maybe there is a timer/stopwatch, but I was unable to find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float gets the job done, but can be glitchy. Some persisting issues that are bad for our business."
What do you like best about Float?

The visual aspect of Float is fantastic. We rely heavily on the ability to color code by project manager (matched to our KanBan board) for better overhead visibility. The clarity around capacity limits (turning red at 8 hours), PTO, and project owner give a great overhead view of each resource. Also, the edit history is incredibly helpful.

What do you dislike about Float?

The software can be glitchy and hard to rely on at times. Often when moving blocks of time, the software will prompt you to refresh the page and you will lose whatever action was in progress. Sometimes the software will not let me drop a block where I want to, and I'll have to place it a few days and then manually extend/shorten the time block.

The reports section was recently changed, without warning as far as I know, and it has been a huge pain point for me. I run Capacity to Contract reports using Float exports, and this structure change completely crushed my existing workflow to the point where we abandoned our old spreadsheet in favor of a completely new report.

Sometimes ghost data will not show up on the schedule view, but will skew the reports for each resource. This causes a headache when running reports because I have to manually keep tabs on all numbers for each resource, given I can't trust they are 100% accurate.

"Float makes it easy to plan your resources within the company"
What do you like best about Float?

Float provides the opportunity to plan the resources available to the work team giving more management in the collaborative resources, within its drag-and-drop functions you can set individual working hours when employees are working on scheduled tasks which in turn allows you to track among colleagues the project data systems to drive business decisions from the user interface thus achieving the activity of coordinating multiple resources on different projects giving managers easy access to work done by each employee in the organization on the website, allowing the workflow to be easily assimilated allowing for browser-based team scheduling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

It is important to emphasize that during the use of Float within our company we have found functions that play against him as it is when you begin to use the menu of search to locate some specific file tends to autocomplete nonexistent searches, this comes because it does not provide the information that has to personalize in a deep way the way of the tool for your company, then with the updates is improving this problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

In float problems occur unit of storage of images, where the same ones at the time of managing a creation of campaign presentations, initiates an automatic load of images in simultaneous in a random way, placing images without any type of relation to the treated subject, as main objects of public view before carrying out the publication of the same ones, which represents a considerable failure for the system of this software, since it could show wrong visual information, causing confusions between the users when not knowing to what some images are due in reference to products or financing of services.

"A part of our own development phase"
What do you like best about Float?

As a developer the sidetracking is easy. So we've got engineers but instead Float. Float doesn't only help me remember track of what I'm doing and what I can do it, and that also lets me keep count as to what other coworkers do. Particularly now, because homeschooling is indeed the new standard, it's very easy to test if one of my teammates is busy, and whether they may have any room from my. It all without installing 20 filters, and handling a complicated UI. Hover seems to have all the functionality in almost all of the right positions but also manages to retain a UI that looks lightweight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I think the integration of this software with our time sheet tool might be more valuable. Refreshing the page may sometimes induce several other documentation to go lost. Many more than all these sites, I don't think Float lacks user interface but had been of benefit to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
