Float.com Reviews & Product Details

I like how easy it is to track availability and schedules of a lot of staff. This way I can easily find help on projects when needed and know who will be out of the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Float is very easy to navigate, the only problem is when people are not updating regularly. I wish there was a reminder feature so people were updating at the same frequency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float offers an intuitive interface, making team scheduling and project tracking a breeze. The real-time updates and integrations have significantly improved our workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Float is largely beneficial, I wish there were more customization options for visual themes. However, its core functionalities remain unmatched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to use color schemes for all blocks.

Easy access for users and easy to add new users when needed.

Being able to slide blocks and set certain hours etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blocks are really big and take up the whole screen. If I want to see the whole team i have to zoom out so far that I am not able to read the blocks annymore. This makes working with Float difficult in some situations to match schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets me easily log time as a casual employee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slightly annoying process for logging multiple tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really easy to use. In our team, there's not a lot of people, so the scheduling is very convenient. Comparing to the competitors, Float has a positive benefit of using categories and different colors for the projects. Possibility to check completed tasks is a benefit, too. Visual design seems to be on point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be really lovely to get an automatic color attachment for different category projects. And maybe adding a deadline to the project would be even more easier, it wouldn't require to re-check in Jira when scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool has a simple overview, visually similar to already known calendars. This means that you don't need any time to familiarize yourself with it. Just click and add entries.

If you work with many different customers, you can create them once and then easily add individual projects within these customer folders.

I especially like the fact that I can tell my clients apart right at first glance using the Color Coding feature. But when I need more information, I can also click on the entries and have access to the job number, the available budget, and any other information that might be available.

Thanks Float - you make my daily work so much easier :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What could be improved:

Currently, when I enter vacation, my projects in the same time frame just disappear from the schedule. This is quite inconvenient and should be fixed. It would be more practical to at least be warned and transfer the projects individually to someone else from the team, or be able to specify vacation substitutions so that the projects are automatically transferred.

Also, it would be great if you could duplicate blockers via copy & paste. The split tool is often a bit impractical to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can filter down by project, title, names. You can also add details of the team members (what team they belong to, direct report or even simple tags like experience level) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you assign a team member to a project, and they need to work different hours in different weeks, you have to create an entry for each segment. E.g. 3hrs/day in Q1 and 4hrs/day in Q2, and then the same in Q3 and Q4, you need to create 4 different entries. It gets complicated if you program by week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These functions may exist but in the limited time I have when using float these have not been obvious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the moment I was introduced to Float, I was impressed by its intuitive interface. The platform is visually appealing, making it easy for users of all tech levels to navigate and understand. This is crucial for a tool that is meant to be used across various departments in an enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where Float could improve is the ability to move time events to different days. While the current drag-and-drop functionality is excellent for intra-day adjustments, extending this feature to allow for moving events across different days would make the platform even more versatile.

I mainly use float for project management and tracking and I think these features provide a very smooth and user friendly platform to manage my projects along with other colleagues in my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When creating a new project, I think the options available to amend the project could be a bit more comprehensive. For e.g everyone should be auto-selected as project manager and later we can edit it according to our requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
