"Simple Schedule and Project manager"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

My company tried using Asana for about a year and found it too complicated to get everyone on the same page.

Then we went fully manual, by switching to spreadsheets for schedule and project management.

Float finds a nice middle ground of simplicity and interactive UI. It's great that managers can view everything from a project view and makers and creatives can look at just their own schedule. Plus the option to subscribe to an actual calendar format makes it easy to view our schedules on the go from our phones and personal devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I haven't found a way to specify what TIME of day things need to happen. When viewing from a subscribed calendar, every event is an "all day event" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

Float is straightforward from a user perspective. Compared with some other time-tracking solutions, time tracking is simpler because administrators can pre-fill time slots. I have yet to have any issues with it. Slack integration is especially nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I do wish there was better feature parity between mobile and web, but otherwise, I have no major complaints with Float. Float allows me to easily input my time tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for visibility"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

Easy to use and it's simple to scroll backwards to check your historical or upcoming bookings. As a user it does all I need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I've previously used Synergist which was great for production resources as all the bookings automatically pre-populated timesheets ready to add hours and submit. I'm not sure if Float has this functionality but our organisation uses separate systems for both, and I find it does add a little more effort to time logging.

"Great resource management tool, not customizable though."

4/5

What do you like best about Float?

User friendly, visually appealing, effective resource management tool, cheaper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Not customizable, doesn't integrate with other programs, cannot tweak API or make suggestions to correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

Make sure you know exactly what you need when researching platforms. This is not a customizable tool, but could be a very efficient use of resources ($s) if it provides the baseline what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2.5/5

What do you like best about Float?

- Simple to use and learn

What do you dislike about Float?
