What do you like best about Float?

As someone who works flexible hours, I find Float incredibly helpful to schedule. I use it every day to schedule my ever-varying calendar and it's very easy to allocate timings to the projects I'm working on, which can be compared well with the rest of the team's calendar too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

There is unfortuantely no feature to input exact times into Float and only lengths of time, so I have to use the "notes" feature to add exact times, which can be a bit annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work flexible hours part time, so it's really important that the rest of my team clearly knows what projects I'm working on and when, which Float solves. My manager is also able to easily schedule my hours. The whole team uses Float, so it's easy to check all projects always have sufficient resources allocated to them.

What do you like best about Float?

We had represnetatives who were very kind and eager to help us integrate the interface into our company. They were all helpful and very informed but our company was not equiped/ready to switch over to a new time tracking tool. The google calendar integration is also very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

There are too many functions on this platform and too many different ways to use it. This has caused confusion in how our compnay uses it and has led to lots of incosistencies which prevents us from using the tool effiecnlty. The schedule also shows such a small preview of calendar events of time allocations that it's not very helpful unlesds you click into it which is much less conveneient.

What do you like best about Float?

Float's time entry feature is a game-changer for our team, making time tracking effortless and intuitive. The user-friendly interface and seamless integration with our workflows save us time every day. We love the flexibility to log hours quickly and the real-time syncing keeps everyone on the same page. Customizable entries with tags and notes make project management and reporting a breeze.

Overall, Float has transformed our time management process, boosting productivity and making tracking tasks enjoyable. Highly recommended for any team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

While Float offers many great features, one area that could use improvement is the mobile experience. The app lacks some of the functionality and smoothness of the desktop version, making it less convenient to log time on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time tracking in a easy way, time spent in each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

It is simple to use, fast and the UI design is clean. We use it daily and it is very reliable and have not had any bugs crop up which is vital in resourcing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Not being able to order booking in an order is frustrating. Would be great if booking could be moved up and down vertically like an Outlook calander. This way we would know which work needs to be started first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It keeps everyone on the same page. I can see who else in the team might be overstretched and who is OOO. This means we can share around our resourcing when needed and understand in a glance who is currently online to work on the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

The best thing about Float is its intuitive, visual scheduling interface. It makes resource management and project timelines clear at a glance. The drag-and-drop functionality is a game-changer for quickly adjusting schedules and allocating resources efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I cant really say anything, but if on the tracking sheet under project there would be a selector like jira, trello, canva or other doc/task/ticket, because right now its tidious to always copy the ticket number in to the description Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Float helps us maintain transparency with clients by tracking how much time is spent on each ticket or project. This allows us to provide detailed reports on work completed. Additionally, it enables managers to monitor resource allocation and workload distribution effectively, ensuring that no one is overburdened and that projects stay on schedule.

What do you like best about Float?

I like how easy it is to move blocks of time around - the shortcuts are nice to use as well! It intergrates well with google calendars too so we can easily keep track off meetings that get put in with the team and can make sure resource isn't maxed out. I use Float almost every day so having a platform that is visually nice to look and and easy to navigate it great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

Sometimes the plaform will lag when I'm moving around resource and the blocks end up duplicating so I have to go in and delete them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When there are multiple projects through the agency I can easily map them out across my direct team and easily keep track of where we're up too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

It is very customizable and works quite good for multiple teams working on multiple projects with the ability to assign project, tasks and notes to the allocations and people. With good scheduling and repeating tasks options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

My manager cannot filter hours I logged using the Notes field. Also I wish there was an undo button when deleting/modifying logged hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows me to keep track of my tasks when working on projects. My team also uses float for KPIs on our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

I use float for knowing which sessions I will be attending and at what time, but I have clear visibility over the rest of my team, making it easy to connect with them, collaborate, and to avoid clashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I would prefer if there were more customisation options for the visual user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my role I run training sessions for existing and new staff. My colleagues also do the same role, and float is our method of keeping track of where there are common free times for collaboration and knowing what sessoins we will run. Using float generally avoids the frustration of cluttered outlook calendars, while allowing coordinators to assign us tasks and modify them in the background.

What do you like best about Float?

I like the idea of being able to colour code tasks, assign tasks to an email and define time requirements as well as project details within a task. I also really enjoy the reporting side of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I would like it if Float offered the ability to change the title of some of the input box titles. For example, where it says "Project" I would like to be able to edit that to my own title. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It gives a good helicopter view for me and my team of the ongoing projects, up and coming projects as well as the capacity of each individual team member. Using the different colours also gives a good overview of the types of work that is going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Float?

Scheduling is amazing and accessible, holiday requests are a perfect flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

- Placeholders should be free. It's challenging to plan the future of hiring and business development pipeline with high uncertainty. I need to put possible future employee but not paying because if I don't sell they are never going to be a real employee

- Reports should be easier, there are many options and you need to do so many trials to get what you need.

- When someone is manager in a project, they get access to modify their hours in everyone projects, you should change that it drives to errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a very flexible company, it helps me to know what are everyone doing, and see if there are people free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like how some public holidays are autofilled and cannot be removed, so if you do work that day , you cannot remove the public holiday from Float. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float allows the scheduling of meetings and work across myself and my colleagues so you can see who is busy, when and what with. It allows me to keep track of all of my important work so I know where to be and when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
