Float.com Reviews & Product Details

I run a design agency. 2 things are important to me 1) Simplicity - Float is simple to use. 2) Aesthetics - If i'm to use a tool daily then it has to be attractive and Float is one of the better tools that satisfies this niche requirement.

I like how much the focus is purely on just resourcing my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a big fan of time tracking nor the recently released budgeting features. Neither are useful in my use case as I use dedicated task management tools (Basecamp, Harvest) that are far better at managing this than Float. Float should focus more on resourcing and scheduling because that's what brought me to the platform and what it's good for. I understand tools like Float need to evolve but at the same time stick to what you're good at because there are other tools in other areas that often do better jobs. There's a reason why tools such as Clickup or Monday are disliked so much - it's because they're bloated trying to focus on too many things it becomes unusable. I'd suggest focussing more on integrations with other tools to expand Float's usefulness into those other areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Float is how intuitive and easy to use it is. The interface is clean and well designed, making it simple to plan, allocate, and adjust resources without needing much training or setup time. Implementation was straightforward, and it integrated smoothly with our existing tools, which helped us get up and running quickly. I also appreciate the range of features available, from capacity planning to time tracking, which give a clear, real-time view of team workload and project timelines. Overall, Float strikes a great balance between functionality and usability, making it a reliable tool for managing resources efficiently. The fact there is an API is a bonus.

One aspect I find frustrating about Float is that the reporting features can be somewhat complex to navigate, and the results for hours tracked are not always entirely accurate. This often means I have to spend additional time adjusting or double-checking the data, which makes the reporting process less seamless compared to the rest of the platform.

The best tool for resource management. Allows you to forecast and manage active projects. Ability to estimate and manage profitability of project based on the team rates. Flexible permissions allow you to give different members of the team access to manage projects and team. Reporting gives a granular view of a Projects phases and tasks which makes it easy to share information with clients. Time tracking is a breeze with team able to track time against already scheduled tasks, adjusting the time and adding notes as needed. The Float support team are super friendly and responsive, answering questions within a few hours. Our team uses Float multiple times a day and gives everyone clear direction on what its happening now, in the future and the past. Easy to onboard team members and integrates with Google Workspace.

There are no "Project Management" features, so you'll need to use Float alongside another PM tool like Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Trello etc. However this does make it easier to onboard teams already using these tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float is super easy to use and didn’t take long to get the team onboard. The interface is clean and makes scheduling feel almost effortless—just drag, drop, and you’re done. We use it daily to plan out work and manage capacity across projects. It integrates nicely with Google Calendar, which helps keep everything in sync without extra effort. I also found their customer support to be responsive the one time we needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the reporting features were a bit more detailed in the basic plan. Sometimes I have to export data just to get a clear picture of workload trends. The mobile version also feels a bit clunky—fine for checking things, but not ideal for making updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It ia very useful, it has the filters and different option to add leave also. We can create the project and related task as much as we can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we apply leave from float, it is not reflacted in relavant third part. We need to do it manually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to navigate Float, every day I get to the office I can have a look at my schedule and know exactly on which clients I am Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy everything about Float, I don't really have anything negative to say about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to divvy up time and reflect dedicated project time in people's calendars to better represent what their day looks like. I find myself checking Float often to see who has space to help me if I have too much on my plate, and vice versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure what the pricing structure is like at Float, but I've used alternate applications that were much cheaper that do similar work, plus unlike Asana it doesn't seem like there's a lot of user control if you aren't a manager applying time to someone's schedule. It feels like something that could integrate really well into other apps, like Asana, or the other way around Float has their own task tracking, that could be part of the overall time marker for project completion.

Float has become an indispensable part of our daily workflow. We use it in all our projects to plan and allocate resources efficiently across the entire team. It’s extremely user-friendly, visually clear, and helps us avoid overbooking or scheduling conflicts. The drag-and-drop interface makes updates quick, and the ability to forecast availability has significantly improved our planning accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Float is a great platform overall, it would be even better if it offered more advanced reporting features and analytics dashboards natively, without needing third-party integrations. Also, it sometimes takes a bit longer to load when managing multiple teams or large-scale project portfolios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I like using Float because it's very easy to use and helps me track all my work efficiently. It gives me a clear view of how tasks are divided and what I’ve completed. I also find it really helpful to look back and see exactly what was done, when it was done, and how much work was involved. Adding entries is smooth and straightforward, which makes planning and updating tasks quick and hassle-free." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Float for the past few months, and it has had a truly positive impact on the way I manage my work. From the start, the interface was intuitive and easy to navigate, which made getting started quick and stress-free. One of the most impressive aspects of this app is how effectively it helps me stay organized and focused.

The ability to track tasks, set deadlines, and collaborate with team members has significantly improved my productivity. I can easily see what needs to be done, when it’s due, and who’s responsible for what. This has eliminated a lot of confusion and helped our team stay aligned.
