Float.com Reviews & Product Details

I like the color coding options. It makes it really easy for our team to view people's schedules and organize the information in a way that makes the most sense to us. Organizing our schedules based on clients and assigning colors to each one makes it easier to see allocations in Float.com. The color coding helps us make decisions more quickly since we can view the schedule in this way, organizing it in our brains more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think it's the most user friendly at first. We switched from another resource management tool that everyone was able to understand really quickly. I think there's a lot of tabs that kind of feel like they do the same thing, but you're only able to do certain actions when you're in a certain view or on a certain page. So that can be kind of confusing. We tried doing a Monday integration, and that didn't work. It was actually quite challenging. We had a Float.com representative that tried to kind of onboard our team or prep our team, but I think we tried to implement it before we were really ready. So overall, the company struggled a lot with the implementation, and we didn't find the Float.com rep to be all that helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Float to plan project schedules and manage resource allocation across different tasks. What I like most is its simple interface and clear visual scheduling view, which makes it easy to understand team availability and workload distribution. It helps keep project planning organized without adding unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the advanced reporting and customization options could be more flexible. New users may also need a bit of time to get familiar with all of the planning features and how they work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from the ease of resource scheduling by tasks and tracking progress, Float.com can be used in tracking and analysing actual time used by specific tasks. This is a really helpful feature to calculate team effectiveness and refine project costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that would be helpful is the ability of downloading the Booked and Task time used details by Months at a consolidated level. Currently it has to be done month by month Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to see at a glance how many projects a person has been assigned to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is clunky. It would be nice to be able to see a whole year at once instead of just months, since our projects typically span 2+ years of development. It would be nice if editing the Start and End dates would automatically update the schedules of the folks assigned to the project, instead of needing to manually update each person. Please let us toggle off the cost tracking option, as we don't use it and it's throwing up warnings all over the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float enables our business to use a clear, visual forecasting tool. It quite literally drives our business by letting our consulting teams know what they’re doing on a week-to-week basis, while also enabling our project management team to plan for the next year.

The challenge with Float is that its highly visual interface can sometimes lead people to misuse it like a kind of Tetris game with other people’s time. It’s easy to get so focused on arranging the visuals that you lose sight of the human side of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Float.com has a clean and clear schedule interface. It's helpful because, at a glance, I can see the blocks of work I have to do for the day. The initial setup of Float.com was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information within the blocks is not super clear, which might be due to the setup at the agency. Also, on mobile, when I click on a work item in the schedule, sometimes there's no way to close the pop-up, and I have to refresh the page to return to the schedule view.

I love how simple Float.com is, with moving bookings, adding placeholders, and changing time estimates all easily done by pointing, grabbing, and clicking. As a process tool, it allows me to spend less time on processes and more on actual project work, making handling bookings and tracking my work super quick and easy. The initial setup was super easy and hassle-free, which was great for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to be able to integrate Float with Asana, where I manage my work, so it automatically copy bookings between those two tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate and easy to pick up for new users. The support team have been great when any issues have occurred and there have only been a minimal amount of times that performance hasn't been up to scratch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports aren't fit for purpose for my teams needs - I have had to create AI prompts in co-pilot to send summaries of resource booked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to duplicate tasks across days on Float.com if things change. The filters are really helpful too, even though it would be nice to set a default filter for team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float.com could be improved by allowing seamless switching of views without reloading the page when I want to see different teams. Additionally, having a morning and afternoon view would help project managers manage my time more effectively. It would also be beneficial to set a default filter for my menu view to reduce loading screens when I want to see a wider team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me keep track of my time and stops me from wasting it on projects that are secondary or less important. Using the built-in timer has been a game changer, and the drag-to-resize hours feature has saved me quite a bit of time when adjusting my tasks. The interface is also clean, and it’s quick to learn and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer, I find the project management features cumbersome and difficult to read. Also it is difficult to understand in which phase to your time on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
