User interface

Fast

Non lagging

Useful information upfront on the display Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

Could have linking to Jira tasks

Could have swimlanes to classify users instead of just filters. Swimlanes could be skillset, designation, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A top resource planning and scheduling tool"
What do you like best about Float.com?

The ease of use of Float it top class. From the creating of projects to assign resources to, creating of tasks in the projects and managing the milestones is super easy. The calendar grid format makes it really easy to see what resources are assigned to and makes it really simple to manage your resource scheduling. Access management is good too. The reporting is decent. The UI is a delight to work with. These days it is all about the user experience. We make use of the Float API suite too to automate the synchronisation (create, deletes and updates) of our team's approved leave request between our leave management system and Float. This saved us loads of manual work to ensure that information is the same across systems. There is not a lot you cannot do with Float. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

The only small gap I have found is a specific operational reporting requirement I had that the reporting suite didn’t cater for. I required a daily view for resources that did not exist. While there is a weekly view, it does not seem to offer a day-by-day report that can be imported into Excel (through CSV or other means). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for scheduling across a busy creative team"
What do you like best about Float.com?

The quick and intuitive means by which projects and jobs can be added, updated and moved around in schedules. It's a really handy way to both view and quickly update the full picture of workloads, schedules, availability and project progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

While excellent for immediate-term planning, I would like to see a little more in the way of options for longer-term, or non-date-specific, planning - perhaps the ability to add a "pending" column that sits persistently alongside the day and date columns, to act as a reminder of jobs that will come onto schedule soon but aren't ready to be assigned to a particular day/week!

It would also be useful to be able to less evenly proportion time across days - e.g. spread a job over two days but assign more hours to one than the other, rather than the equal split as present.

These are feature requests rather than issues, though - on the whole the experience is excellent and does exactly as you'd hope/expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great purpose-built tool which helps solve a huge problem in agencies."
What do you like best about Float.com?

I really appreciate the simplicity of this tool. It doesn't take much to set up and only asks you for as much information as it needs in order to be useful. Because it is assumed that the tool will be updated frequently, there isn't a lot of extra data points that are required to set up a person's schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

In some ways the tool can feel a bit stiff or limited. Because it's built to really do one thing well-- scheduling, new users might look for other features like time tracking or dependencies which are found in similar project planning tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keep our studio organised, accountable and active!"
What do you like best about Float.com?

- being able to allocated multiple jobs to one team member

- colour coding and access to different

- the new feature for dragging jobs down or up for more or less time

- reports on individual and team times and capacity

- The "Time Off" button

- new feature to continuously scroll forward or backwards

- The organisation of clients and jobs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

- It would be great if we could automatically add our public holidays into float

- I don't like that every time I press enter after filling out a field that it adds the job directly onto the calendar

- It would be great to be able to zoom into a day view of the whole team with working hours next to it (similar to google calendar) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float Review for Audio / Visual Studio"
What do you like best about Float.com?

The feature that we as an audio / visual studio have found the most beneficial is the scheduling feature. This allows us as a team to assign and schedule tasks and projects, and allows each individual to keep track of what the need to complete by when and what is upcoming in the days and weeks ahead. By doing this everyone on the team can log into Float and see what it is each team member is busy on and when it needs to be completed by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

As a user i have found that the admin person can schedule tasks and projects for individual team members, but if these need to be changed suddenly then they can only be changed by the admin person and not the individual. I have had one or two occasions when I needed to update and reshuffle my schedule on Float but wasn't able to do so as the admin person was off or not in the office. This caused some scheduling delays for myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect to manage maintenance teams!"
What do you like best about Float.com?

We analyzed several reviews before getting a Float license for our maintenance team. What impressed us is the ease of use and immediate approach of the user interface. Even non tech skilled people can easily plan and update activities, without spending too much time on the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

So far, almost 1 year after adopting Float, we can't identify any particular downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CH - Float Review - 16JAN2019"
What do you like best about Float.com?

Ease of accessibility and ease of use. Mobile application is quite useful, especially being on the go a lot of the time. ROI and forecasting is an excellent and helpful tool incorporated into the application. All features are beneficial in ways that show positive outcomes for the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

Pop-up windows when clicking on a scheduled task have a tendency to cut off wording, making it harder to see the entire scope of the task. The ability to have a larger pop-up screen or scrolling ability would make this issue less bothersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Float for team scheduling"
What do you like best about Float.com?

I like being able to see our teams schedule anytime and place as long as I have wifi or cell data reception. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float.com?

I dislike the navigation method on a cell phone; to move left and right on a schedule (forward and back in time) I have to click on two little buttons instead of having a normal slide/scroll bar to move around. This is a bit slow and clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
