Float.com Reviews & Product Details

A perfect mix of Team, Project, and Individual view of time management enables deep analysis. This helps me get a view on utilisation for professional services which is critical to understanding revenue and profitability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally it does take a while to populate the records for the staff that I manage... but then again its a big complement of people. After a while the browser will show all the relevant data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a good solution to monitor a project's resources and how they allocate their time to different tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not allow you to easily move a bunch of small tasks along in the timeline. Also, when trying to put half-day tasks, it's not so user-friendly because sometimes the cursor from neutral turns into cursor of completion or deletion without warning. Another point would be when you try to log in your time off - it took a while to discover how to do this without deleting the previous log-in recordings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main screen is dedicated to delivering the most important information. The filtering, sorting and view modes are natural and easy to use. We leverage external integrations with our HR systems to synchronize time off and availability, ensuring the Float information is always up to date. Both the Schedule and Project Plan view allow easy focus on possible issues and opportunities. The customization tagging combined with rich filtering really makes it accessible to all our team. Reporting is also nice with very flexible timeline options (I especially like the per month/per week/per day option in the bar chart capacity reports). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truly, it is a great platform, nothing major is an issue. Some interesting enhancements could be adding the possibility to easily simulate scenarios when planning for long-term projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main interface is clear and offers a great overview. Planning time on projects and tasks is intuitive and easy. Tracking your time along those tasks also works great. We were looking for a tool that did some high level planning and tracking, not track-per-minute. Float has been great to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project planning is a bit harder in float. Planning different phases offer less overview. We also really love the time tracking tool, but it is not available separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Float is the overview of the projects and of the work the team is currently executing, it allows you to keep control and follow each one of your tasks. It gives you the freedom to manage your time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that each task has to belong to a project because it limits the possibility of tracking day-to-day tasks like answering emails, doing check-ups on the team or talking with other team members. It empowers the productivity culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with float in conjunction with my managers has made keeping track of my projects and my time sheets so easy. It really has been a huge help. Instead of going through emails or memos I can login to Float and see my entire work history for the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't had anything to dislike. It really has made one part of my job that I dislike much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is pretty predictable, it usually works just like I think it does. This is very useful because while I'm working hard it's not great to spend a lot of time registering what I was doing, so the process of producing timesheets should be fast and straightforward.

Nothing is too bad but I have some ideas for improvements:

- While I'm creating a task, I might not be part of the project of the said task yet, so it would be nice to show me Projects I'm not a part of and a way to solicit entering the projects so I can create the task and then later my manager just have to approve it.

- Notes is a one-line text input, it should probably be a multi-line text area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float helps me plan my day in the most efficient way, and not overschedule myself. It gives me a guideline for how much work I can take on without taking on too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be buggy, and the calendar integration doesn't always work. it's not super intuitive but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it. The support team are really helpful too if there are any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time-logging process couldn't be smoother. And the big-picture visibility of time logged for the week (any week) is great! It's way easier to fix time-logging mistakes on the fly. That was very tedious with the system my company used before: Accelo. I'm glad we switched. To be clear, I was not an administrator of our Float system, I was just a user—an employee who used it for logging time. My company has many clients, so Float allowed us to keep track of how many hours we worked for different clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Took me a few moments to get the hang of the user interface. The UI is not that complicated, but it's different from what I was used to. Once it clicked for me I had no issues. Now I prefer the Float UI style. I think it's more elegant. Less obvious from the software designer's point of view, but ultimately more straightforward for the end-user.

The other time tracking software I'd used was more traditional. Accelo and similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float's interface is as user-friendly as it gets, with friendly colors and a "card"-based grid view where it is very clear what tasks you are working on and what tasks the rest of the team is working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a bit of a learning curve, transitioning from a drastically different scheduling system. There are a lot of options and bells and whistles, but once you get used to Float, it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
