Project planning and estimating would benefit from a quicker view of spend, especially when putting budgets to tasks. Although phases have been introduced, setting it up quickly isn't particularly efficient for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple to schedule and block out the day, and it's also easy to keep track of everyone's schedules and see what has been completed. We can plan out a week's worth of work, and everything is straightforward to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the search functionality on the app quite frustrating. When I need to quickly look up a specific past issue and see who it was assigned to, there really isn’t an easy way to do it. The app also isn’t very beginner friendly. New users tend to have a lot of questions before they start feeling comfortable using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float.com provides an intuitive and visual way to manage team capacity and resource planning. The timeline-based interface makes it easy to see availability, prevent over-allocation, and plan projects efficiently. It helps teams stay aligned and improves overall utilization without unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Float.com is excellent for resource planning, it can feel limited for teams looking for advanced project management or detailed task-level tracking. Some reporting and customization options could also be more flexible for complex use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to visualize my colleagues’ schedules. As a team lead, being able to quickly see their daily or weekly availability clearly makes my job much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a lack of automation. I want to email my teammates to ask them to update and fill in their float schedules, but it would be much more helpful if an automated feature could handle this for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love how user-friendly Float.com is. I never have to look around for things very much, and I can just drag and drop things. The report features are really good, and everything is just very straightforward. The initial setup was super easy and straightforward. I didn't even have to do a training, as it was already set up by my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if Float.com and my Outlook calendar could sync so that certain meetings would already be registered on my float. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is lightweight and easy to learn, making it simple to use on a daily basis. I have relied on it for nearly three years in my work, and it helps me quickly assign time for myself and my team across various projects. It also gives me a clear overview of which tasks are currently being worked on, allowing me to stay organized and efficient. The Outlook Calendar integration is excellent and can be set up with minimal effort! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting everything set up for the entire team can be a bit time-consuming.

Admins need to stay on top of new additions/updates or users risk falling behind with logging and/or reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can pull other projects that are not currently in my schedule, making it seamless and hassle-free. My project manager knows exactly what's happening daily. It makes my everyday life so much easier and less time spent on admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing. I've found it to be the best experience compared to other admin portals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fast and simple to set up and then edit projects.

The ability quickly set up recurring events saves a lot of time.

Our general user experience is good, as they each have an ability to view resourcing through different lenses which is impactful.

As a leadership team we have very good visibility across shared resource pools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major flaws.

For what it costs, the limitations are quite easy to work around.

Forgetting to quit the 'Delete' button has caused some issues when editing in a hurry, but Ctrl+Z fixes almost all of these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float is a great resource management tool that makes scheduling and planning easy. The interface is simple and easy to use, even for beginners. I love how you can quickly see your team’s availability and avoid scheduling conflicts. The ability to assign tasks based on your team's workload helps keep things organized and on track.

Float can feel a bit complicated for smaller teams or simpler projects. The price is a little high, especially if you only need basic features. Some customization options for reports could be better, and the platform can sometimes slow down during busy periods. Also multi currency option is missing. Also it should support third party integrations and there should be APIs to directly access data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
