Float is by far the easiest project management software i've ever used. It provides reliable organisation, tagging and staffing needs that any user can quickly use and adapt to. What I like about Float compared to other software is it focuses on the work week versus project allocation budgets. Adjustments on time blocking, swapping staff, project codes and details are intuitive and minimal clicks. I find this is a well-rounded tool for group timesheet scheduling, holidays, isolating project milestones and holidays to our internal intranet so it complies with our data regulations.

1) I often find I/or someone on the team has made edits, they open an existing Float tab or present the pre-loaded Float screen and the changes are not shown. Screen re-loads are not always automatic, which is very frustrating when every manager may need to check the schedule 8-10 times a day and make edits. I don’t have time to also check with every person in the team if the changes are shown and they might need to refresh the screen. There should be constant automatic refreshing for all cloud based apps.

2) When moving a blocks of time sometimes people use larger than 1 week timeframes and editing requires re-building all other weeks after. There should be a quick split or clip function so I don’t need to rebuild 8 weeks if a person only puts 1 block of time start to finish.

3) When adjusting time blocks close to weekends Float always grabs the Saturday or Sunday block instead of the project block and extends everyones weekend on Float and notifies everyone even if you change it back quickly. Weekends/holidays should more locking functions that don’t allow this to happen.

4) We use Float in our weekly catch-up and screen share. When sharing the view is not presented as well as it could be with large scales taking up most of the screen. There should be a presentation mode, collapsed nav bar or way to highlight per person as we go through staffing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float is a great tool for project managers to track time and hours for our design teams including scheduling out projects for the year. Its simple and intuitive to use and quick to make adjustments during phases. has a lot of great quality of life features that definitly makes it more efficient to use over other products.

For example it allows our team to make scheduling adjusmtents when projects go on hold, or have temporary stopping pooints as it allows it to organize our team to fill hours where it is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downside to float, is it makes it a bit difficult to integrate into our time and expense tracking software, but it is still quick to update to match, however it adds a bit of additional work to go back and match our expense software. I definitely wish it had some sort of integration like that to make it more efficeint for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User rights has been a little tricky. Feels like it needs more thought rather than the limits it currently has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Undoubtedly, the most notable quality of this project management software is its flexibility. It caters to diverse project types and team structures seamlessly. Whether you're running an agile development project or a traditional waterfall project, this software adapts and supports your methodologies. This flexibility extends to customization options, allowing us to tailor the software to our specific needs. In a world where projects vary greatly, this adaptability is a treasure.

In my experience with Float, the aspect that has the most potential for growth is the mobile app. While functional, it could benefit from more robust features and smoother navigation. Real-time updates and more comprehensive task management capabilities on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the product's utility for users on the go. Despite this, Float's desktop version remains a reliable tool for managing schedules and projects effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to schedule and log hours per specific client is essential for proper time management and for ensuring that clients aren't over or under serviced. The interface is easy to navigate, and the colour scheme makes it really easy to distinguish tasks. I really like being to move tasks around simply by clicking and dragging. Overall, an easy to use interface that has become essential to my Agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When dealing with a lot of colleagues and a lot of clients, sometimes its difficult to distinguish hours logged per client per user or overall hours logged vs hours scheduled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scheduling tasks for the team and monitoring project spend on Reports. Use it to report sick day, annual leave, all in one place is really helpful. Good for a small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no way of actually tracking time spent it would be really useful to have a timer so team members can accurately time how long they spend on tasks. At the moment we are all making educated guesses at the end of each day / week. Also not clear how to lock task list after people have already logged into them. Another issue I've found is that creatives can delete projects assigned to them, it would be useful if they could pass it back to the allocator so they are aware the task was unable to be completed.
