Float Reviews & Product Details

Float offers a great way of planning your week when working on multiple different projects. It helps you keep track of your workload and enables you to plan ahead very concretely and punctually.

When there are many different projects the company is working on, it is sometimes difficult to properly distinguish between them.

I'm solving the problem of time management, both for myself and within the team, as hours are easily distributed between team-members as well.

Very simple and easy to manage the design team's time and see what we have coming up

The only downfall is trying to manage freelancers, as they have little bits and pieces of time

Float has made it much easier for the delivery team to request and manage our design resourcing

easy user experience and presence of really useful shortcuts

the pop-up windows are not floading, ithis function could be implemented

we have combined in a single software the two previous tools used in the past

The ability to easily view all my schedules work and allocated hours at a glance

I would love a custom view to see just my work, as opposed to viewing all my team's calendar

As a contractor, I would like to know my upcoming projects. With Float, my manager can schedule work as soon as possible and I get to see it immediately. This way, I am kept informed which helps me to plan ahead.

Really easy to use. Changes in the schedule can be done very fast with a lot different ways to handle it. In our dynamic environment it's really helpful.

We're missing some kind of dashboard with general overview of schedule which can be easily use with digital signage.

It helps us staying better organized and enables everyone to easily check other people workload.

The software is easy to use and very modern

I did not like the segmentation of the menu

Timemanagement and To dos I submit in float and work it step by step

I like the visual aspect of Float, it is easy to understand at a glance and easy to plan. Employees enjoy using it which means they are more inclined to update their schedules, which is important for accurate planning.

I wish there were more access levels. I am managing an increasingly large group of people and I need them to be able to edit anyone's schedule in their Department. Currently there is only "Project Manager" or "Member" and neither one suits my needs perfectly.

I have been able to quickly and accurately measure bandwidth and plan accordingly. This has allowed me to project headcount needs as well as give better completion projections to stakeholders.

It's a very accessible and easy to use tool!

I haven't been using it for that long so i haven't had any bad experiences so far

I'm an intern here so it's really nice to see what project I have to work on with who and at what time

Being able to see the next three months of my team planning. I know when each of them will be available to work on something else. Also, I can set an amount of time per project, that let me know if we're on budget or not.

The view on the milestones is not really clear. I'd like to see it better so we can rush in time to finish!

I now have a clear view on who is available or not to start a new project.

Float is SUPER easy to use and very user-friendly. I had never used this kind of software in any of my previous positions and it's so helpful! My managers use it to assign work and make sure that everyone stays on top of their projects. Even on the user end, it's very simple to get the hang of and it makes my life so much easier!

I haven't run into any problems using it so far so I don't have anything negative to really say about it!

I've been able to keep better track of my schedule, and I love that I can access Float on my phone and personal computer as well. It has increased team productivity, increased accountability, and is so easy to use!

I love the ability to zoom out and view the entire lifespan of a project.

Clicking into a task can be a little clunky, especially when it comes ot logging time.

Float has been great for managing bandwith.

It's really easy to drag and drop time allocations in, so you can quickly shuffle projects and resources around and see the impact of it, very helpful for trying out different approaches.

Managing reoccurring events can be a bit of a faff, it's easy to make a mistake and end up with multiple copies of the same thing.

Mostly when a change of plan occurs (i.e. resources of timeframes change, or another project comes along), float allows me to quickly try out new schedules and to see the impact that has on the various projects.

The platform is very useful for daily workload management. Easy interface and great features!

Very rarely does it happen but sometimes there is a glitch which misplaces tasks.

Time management is the main problem that is solved with this. Being in media, account managers can view your workload and book time in accordingly.

We are big fans of Float, it schedules our studio and keeps us organized. We have tried many other solutions over the years.

It's a positive and a negative, the software doesn't have a ton of features, but that's what we like about it. It does scheduling really well, and is super fast now that there's been an update. We really like it, despite its narrow focus.

Getting everyone on the same page, daily, with what work needs to happen. Also forecasting big batches of work and making sure we're covered - resource-wise.

Being able to visually see what the whole team is up to in one place. The simplicity of moving around/adjusting schedules on the fly.

When tasks need to be reassigned (to other team members) there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in bulk. I have to manually move each piece of the project to the assigned person. I'm pretty new to Float, so I may have not learned how to do this, but at a minimum, it's not obvious or easy to figure out.

We have approximately 34 team members and constantly fluctuating project schedules. Float is super helpful for having one place to see what everyone is up to and being able to efficiently schedule project resources.

This tool is user-friendly enough that my managers actually have time for creating a schedule :-)

Some minor issues that could be improved: data retention for ics exports should be increased to 3 months, locations should be added to scheduled tasks

Scheduling a team of consultants for a wide variety of different locations, customers and appointments

Transparency, ease of use, clean interface, mobile application

Sometimes issues with scroll or mobile app lags

We can plan the team's work well.

It might not be the most resourceful tool to manage roadmaps but it excels on what it does. Easy to use and since the last update it's great performance-wise. The shortcuts are one of my preferred features as it helps me to perform simple tasks effortlessly.

It could have a couple of additional resources/features such as integrations with popular team management tools.

As an Agency, one of our challenges it's to always stay on top of the resources allocation over a myriad of projects. With Float we are able to do that with little effort.

The dual view mode and the Skill tags function are winners. You can view the team’s overall project workload and timeframes and you can see everyone’s availability at a glance, while individually you can view your own workload and make contextual decisions. The Skill tags function is neat in choosing which team member is the best fit for the task. The hovering function is very neat too — not having too open work tasks for notes for example.

Should the admin person not be available, try to anticipate it so that changes can be made to the scheduled tasks.

I find Float to be a flexible scheduling tool that allows you to slice, dice and manage tasks, assignments and timeframes. It gives the team transparency as you can view the team's workload at a glance and assign or shift tasks between team members as the project rolls out. If someone gets swamped out, you can act and tailor as you go. Project management made easy. No sweat.

Super easy to use and figure out. Took almost no time at all to start implementing it in the workplace. It also makes it really easy to manage others - you can pass tasks from one person to the other, postpone them easily, and see at a glance whether someone is overbooked.

The capabilities are a little limited. While it can help you track workflow and task progression, it doesn't grant you a lot of flexibility in storing info about clients, setting due dates, etc.
