Float.com Reviews & Product Details

An easy start for scheduling multiple people of multiple teams. Float gives a nice overview and had good reporting functionality

Scheduling meetings for multiple people requires the meeting to be scheduled for each individual. Then when for example the meeting date changes all separate items need to be rescheduled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is easy and clean to look! Best part, colour-coded! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to use through web and sometimes, confusing when many tabs are in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it's very easy to use and visually not overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I DISLIKE per say, but I think for what our team needs, in terms of accessing the calendar on-the-go it could be a bit more user-friendly. Our team has a lot of people who are not very tech-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it doesn't work as well for people on multiple projects - think 4 and above - and changing hours from week to week Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The intention of the tool is very helpful and it is probably amazing for smaller groups with limited projects.

2. Color coding of projects/teams/clients is helpful.

1. The interface is not obvious; features are hard to find.

2. You have to navigate between different tabs to enter information for a single project. You should be able to add projects & people from a single view. And deleting something from one tab does not carry over to another (e.g., deleting someone from a project in the Schedule does not delete them from the project team).

3. You cannot see the roll up of how over allocated someone is without trying to figure out the reports for a single person. This is incredibly frustrating for our large team with a lot of projects going on at once. The red area is not a good indication when you can hardly see it behind the projects. The row views are also quite small, which hinders this being noticeable. Then you have to do the math to see the number of hours over. Other tools we have used will give percentages for allocations and overages.

4. A single project does not take a horizontal view to scan across weeks/months, as you add new projects each week the view changes and makes it very difficult to scan.

5. You cannot specify what time off is for - would be helpful to be able to track out of the office time based on conference or vacation or maternity leave or another reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface

Project, timeline, people overview and management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User experience is not so obvious in some cases - clicking on project in some cases not always results in expected effect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best features of float are it's ease of use, it's sleek UI design which makes it easy to read and the ability to share easily among colleagues. The permissions management is also a strong area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The two features that could be improved upon are. The system needs an advanced tutorial to train users on the hidden hotkeys and tricks - I had to go externally to a blog post to find these. The system also needs the ability to select a total time and an end date and then automatically work out the daily allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to see the full overview of everyone's activities, tasks, and projects in the office at once but then search through and see only the projects I want to see or am currently working on to clear out the schedule so I can focus. I love also having specific tasks within projects, as many have long lead times and deadlines split among many different individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is may be more of a problem on our end - but we have so many projects concurrently running that we ran out of colors that really contrast to visualize who is working on what at a glance. Our office also doesn't quite function by hours per day or billable hours, so it can feel strange to arrange the days like that - however, it's helpful to arrange things by hour to sort out your day and workflow.

I would also like if it integrated into our dropbox or google docs accounts - if we could pin or upload files to specific tasks. That would be a great feature to have in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kudos to you guys! I love the newer faster Float! You are making my job much easier & faster. Love the faster navigating/scrolling and the changing of a task’s time by scrolling on the schedule up or down beats the hell out of having to open the task and do it from there.

Love the new feature that you can hover over the work task and the notes appear without having to open the task.

Great job, keep it up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to be able to move a task to the afternoon (or lower in the cell) for a day where it is not a full days worth of hours and there is nothing else for that employee that day. Example, I have a technician on a 4 hour training course and it is in the afternoon. He has nothing else scheduled that day but I can't move the task lower in the cell so it looks like it is scheduled for the morning. It would be nice if you could hover over the "Time off" cells and see the notes associated with it , like you can for a work task, without having to open the "time off" cell.
