"Very useful product for our team"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

Since we started using Float we don't have to care about out allocation on each project, in our team we have many projects and sometimes it was very difficult to inform each time every person it the team that today his assignment has changed, but Float makes this process much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and concise"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

The ease of adding project hours across multiple days/weeks makes organizing work really simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

That sometimes you can be booked too many hours in a day - when working multiple projects with multiple PM's. I'm not sure if PM's get a warning but a red box saying 'Hey, maybe this person doesn't want to work 16 hours' might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

Float will no doubt help you to organize multiple people across multiple projects. Speaking as a basic user, it will no doubt make your organization of personal work more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for scheduling and track to-dos"

5/5

What do you like best about Float?

Does exactly what it needs to do to help me keep track of each day and week, broken down into each project and task within a project. It has all the fields I need, such as how long something will take, a field for additional notes, the project name, and the task name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

It can be a bit slow to open a new or existing task, but that may be more my company's internet speeds than Float itself. I also wish you could see tasks that get deleted from a Float, as things have been accidentally removed multiple times from my schedule (by myself or others) and we have no way of knowing what was there before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No problems really. Benefits - It's very helpful to visually see how much time you have dedicated to each project as well as what things you are working on for the day. It's also very easy to see at a glance whether you are overbooked for the day so that you or your Project Managers can adjust appropriately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
