Float.com Reviews & Product Details

As someone who works flexible hours, I find Float incredibly helpful to schedule. I use it every day to schedule my ever-varying calendar and it's very easy to allocate timings to the projects I'm working on, which can be compared well with the rest of the team's calendar too.

There is unfortuantely no feature to input exact times into Float and only lengths of time, so I have to use the "notes" feature to add exact times, which can be a bit annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, Float is very useful and helps me stay organized. For some tasks, it has already replaced my notebook and pen.

Not to mention the ease of linking with Jira and Google Calendar, which makes everything so convenient. The implementation is simple, and I didn’t even know that was possible until I discovered Float. Seriously, I like it a lot.

Due to frequently using Float, I needed customer support because Float was not supporting translation via the browser and was causing some conflicts. I was pleasantly surprised by the support provided by the Float team. They were quick and gave me an incredibly simple solution that worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Float is the duplication of only some Google Calendar events in the LOG tab; in the Schedule tab, everything is normal. I’m checking what might be causing this. Also, the lack of multiple languages is inconvenient for people who don’t speak a second language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was looking for something more advanced than my DIY project management spreadsheet but without the high cost of a big-business solution - as a sole trader/freelancer I just wanted to be able to manage my workload day-by-day, with flexibility to move things around where needed - add in my days off, customise my hours and most importantly - keep on top of my work!

I wasn't looking for an overly complicated software so I really like the simplicity of Float but I'm sure over time some additional features wouldn't hurt - like different views - but I've only been using it for a couple of weeks so I may not have discovered all it has to offer yet!

Float has been an exceptional tool for our organization's resource planning. Its user-friendly interface makes scheduling very easy, and the drag-and-drop feature simplifies adjustments, saving us a lot of time. We use it daily to view resource availability in real-time and this allows us to allocate our team effectively, ensuring no one is overbooked. The integration with Outlook in our example has also streamlined our workflow, making Float a central hub for all our planning needs. The customer support is responsive and helpful whenever we've had questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Float has been largely beneficial, one area that could improve is the reporting functionality. It would be great to have more advanced reporting options directly within Float, particularly for tracking long-term trends in resource utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all the inputs are adjustable, so I can add the correct categories for each day, then slide them to the correct length, since I don't have a super clear timetable of how much time I spent on each activity. I also like that it is a very visual way of keeping track of what I've done vs. writing a list in a spreadsheet or something like that. If my manager gave me assignments for what to do with my time, I think Float would be a very effective way to communicate that too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it's quite easy to accidentally log all your hours for the week in a future week, and it is impossible to just move all those times to the previous week. This has happened multiple times in the 4 months I've been a float user, and I have to screenshot what I said and then recreate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After researching many different options, Float quickly became our top choice and has been an incredible addition to our agency's operational platforms. The simplicity of use and the focus on resource management and team bandwidth was exacrtly what we needed in order to streamline how we were utilizing our resources across every account and department.

The only downside which is not a significant issue is that our customer success rep was located in a completely opposite time zone then where we are, so finding time to meet to discuss questions wasn't as easy as I would have preferred considering we were enterprise customers.

The Experince after using this tool is very good i can easilt understand the workflow of this tool and explain to my team as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no such a point which i disliked about this tool till now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all, it would be the ease of use and implementation. It is very intuitive and compared to other tools, we have functionalities that exist in others, but here we can use and understand them more easily. Secondly: Customer support. Like any tool, questions or problems arise and the support we have at Float is exceptional, because even with email support, the responses are incredibly fast. With other tools, we even give up sending questions due to the delay in response. I use and would recommend Float! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Look, the tool is quite comprehensive. My suggestion for improvement would be the possibility for admin users to configure new charts and create metrics. For example, how much of my capacity was dedicated to billable, non-billable demands, and time off. This is important data to gain more insight into the operation and understand how each layer of the organization dedicates itself to day-to-day activities. In summary, I believe the way for the tool to continue standing out is the creation of new reporting features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using othe time logging and resource planning tools I can confirm that Float is the easiest , frequent and the most productive tools to make work logs and scheduling easier for management.

The wide variety of additional features offered paired with ease of implementation and easier to integrate with other tools provide a one stop solution to all problems related to time and resource management and planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI even though it is user friendly but in some instances the UI can be counter productive as well, say for example in times of applying for leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is user-friendly. It was easy to integrate with the existing time log system, its implementation was easy and easy to teach the users how to use it and its features. Features like Log time, Schedule time, Emails received for the scheduled time, and Log off are frequently used. The services are so good that we didn't need to seek help from Customer support, but as the services are good, Customer support should also be best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially once could have an issue while using the app which happens in all cases, but once you are used to the Float app. You will not find any issues with the app. There is no point in disliking the Float. But there is one issue that it can't be synced with the Jira which is a little drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
