Float.com Reviews & Product Details

Float is a very powerful tool that gives you real-time insight in projects, planning, time tracking and budgets. All in one single well working app. When using Float, you'll love how fast it is, no more waiting for your reports to load. It's very flexibel in the way you can set it up and use it so it will easily fit all your requirements from smaller to larger companies. And finally, nog only myself as a project manager / planner loves working with Float, it was very easy to get my team on board because of the way it fits their wants and needs too.

There's not much to dislike about Float for me. It is a tool that truly helps me manage projects and deliver them in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in consulting and manage a team of 6 consultants. I find Float really useful to be able to manage scheduling for my team as well as forward plan based on upcoming work and team availability. I also work with a wider team and need to be across what other projects are happening and where my wider team might have upcoming availability that I might be able to use for my upcoming projects. I can use tags to be able to filter based on my preferance, i find this feature extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't really think of any. It works as it should for my needs. It has an intuitive user interface and super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Float is how easy it makes planning and managing workloads. The interface is simple and intuitive, and I can quickly see who’s working on what, which really helps with scheduling and avoiding overlaps. It’s also great for keeping the whole team aligned without needing constant check-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Float is that while it’s great for scheduling, it can sometimes feel a bit limited when it comes to tracking actual time spent versus planned time. It would be even better if there were more flexible reporting options or deeper integrations to make reviewing workloads and forecasts easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float makes tracking and reporting billable hours easy. Simple interface and functionality works as you'd expect it. Once we adopted it as our platform for assigned work it took no time at all to familiarize myself with how it works. I reference it daily and I am able to easily look ahead to know what I will be working on in the near future. It's also great for scheduling time off, vacations, and sick time- makes the process much easier as I can integrate this time myself rather than relying on additional admin work and process.

Quickbooks works better for hour by hour tracking and detailed reporting of time. Oftentimes I am jumping back and forth from task to task even within the same 30 min chunk of time and the Quickbooks interface is still superior for this kind of hours tracking.

Time logging is easy, reports tab is helpful once you learn how to use it, the calendar integration is helpful (except when it goes rogue and sometimes duplicates entries), the help community on slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little visibility/support to see budget by task (Budget by task doesn't roll up into phase in the report tab) and allocate accordingly (having to do maths/guesswork to put an allocation across several days that matches the budgeted time - would love to be able to select multiple days and put the total number, and then have it calculate how long that is for each day), having to manually schedule in a whole project when each project has very similar durations and lengths of time (would love a one-click "allocate" where it just shows up in sequence and by length in my schedule), the random "your schedule may be out of date" messages that lose my most recent attempted log. The "overtime" concept is also not super helpful for us- would much prefer it be able to report across a week or a month (and balance out with lower-logged days) rather than only add up the days where more than 7.5 hours have been worked.

What I appreciate most about Float is its scheduling and project planning features. I find it very straightforward to manage tasks among various employees and to set milestones, which makes organizing projects much easier. The implementation was super easy, in less than 3 days I was already using it with my team's tasks, and I have been using it every day, I can plan the schedule of the entire week and month, I can even add freelancers to the schedule.

I am not satisfied that the financial report displays a graph for only one project, rather than providing information for multiple projects with their respective budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Float.com because it serves as a singular place for our firm's general schedule, making it easy to see everyone's schedule at a glance without having to go to a lot of different places. I also appreciate its flexibility and ease of use. It's really easy to see and sort employees and schedules in many different ways with very little effort, and the initial setup was very easy.

Reporting and exporting reports/information is not easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the layout and design and colors and how easy it is to track the time, add a short description, and get a really great overview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I synchronize my Outlook calendar with Float.com, I have to choose a default preset that tags the event. It's kind of annoying to change it repeatedly. I wish the system could recognize if it's a meeting or a marketing task and tag it accordingly. Also, syncing with Factorial sometimes doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is extremely easy to use and is perfect for keeping track of work in progress. It makes managing ongoing tasks much simpler and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One issue I have is that you can't view the deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the platform, it's so easy to drag, drop and view all of the company's assigned tasks as a very quick glance. The ability to be able to switch to project view (vs just people) is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Early on when we started with the platform some of the usability was cumbersome & slow. However, it's changed a lot since, and is a very smooth platform now.

I think one of the things I'd like most is the ability to add notes alongside milestones so that we can put notes in about what that milestone includes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
