Float.com Reviews & Product Details

Search: Search and filtering options are really powerful, letting quickly locate specific projects, team members, or even open time slots without hassle.

Visualization: Visual scheduling interface is definitely the best part. Seeing the timeline view with everyone's capacity laid out so clearly makes resource planning incredibly straightforward.

Performance: fast and responsive

Overall: User-friendly design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dashboard: Lack of a central dashboard landing page to get a quick overview on log in.

Summary header: Search for a team member and wish it provides a concise summary of their current assignments instead of just showing their timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can track my time. I can also track the other analyst time as well keep a record of the time allocated to them. Help in financial expect fromt the business point of view. Help me to understand how much a particular brnad is paying so that we can work accordingly on monthly as well as yearly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing negative as such. But yes the management can sort the date issue, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate being able to schedule tasks across multiple projects and project teams, as well as track the time spent on each task—it's fantastic! The filtering options are also excellent, allowing for a more tailored use of the app to suit specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven't come across any features that I don't like. I'm still in the process of exploring the integrations, but everything has been good up to this point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seeing a snapshot of my day and upcoming workload. I can use it as a to-do list by seeing which projects I'm scheduled to work on, and understand how much time I'm expected to spend on each. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I can't correspond with the scheduler within Float, and I have to message them separately. I wish I could click on an entry and leave a comment or send a message.

I don't like that there's no 'total hours' at the top of each day, so I have to add up the hours for each project to tell if I'm heavy or light that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can categorize events and see everything in a clear fashion. I also like that there's a permission structure where folks can access information without accidently causing unintended changes (view only mode). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a training company, sometimes we work overnight events and as of now, Float won't let us block a continuous overnight block. I usually end up having to make more than one block to show the event's duration properly to my team.

I also kind of wish there were a schedule drafting space (which I believe there is technically, just not exactly what I need for my role). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It aligns well with how we view our business and operations. It provides good visibility into the availability of our team and is flexible so we can view the data from multiple different vantage points (ie: Total hours, per team, per client, per project, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its difficult to keep float up to date as time passes, the time tracking features aren't as robust as we need, so we use an external tool and try to keep it in sync with planned vs. actual as much as possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate receiving updates whenever there are changes to my schedule, and I find it very convenient that I can toggle the 'remote work' option on or off for specific dates. I also like how the app highlights days in red when I am scheduled for more than eight hours. Another feature I enjoy is the ability to connect my Float schedule to Google Calendar. Thank you.

I believe it would be helpful to introduce tiers for schedules according to their importance. For example, if project 1 holds greater significance than project 2, it could be placed in a higher tier or displayed in another visual manner that clearly indicates the priority order for that day.

I like its flexibility and ease of use. It has a simple user interface that is easy to understand. It can handle a significant number of users and helps keep track of activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the user interface is simple and could be improved to make it much more user-friendly. I’m not sure if it exists, but an interactive onboarding tutorial could help new users explore the basic features of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The color coordination makes it easy to track tasks, and being able to view the entire team's workflow helps with accountability. It also increases awareness if someone is overloaded with work. Reviewing past weeks and future weeks is great also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am quite satisfied with my experience using float. It would be interesting to see deeper integration with our briefing system, though I think this may relate more to the way our team has decided to use float rather than any limitations of the platform itself.

This tool enables me to plan my weeks effectively and makes it easy to keep track of my timesheet. It also lets me review the workload and priorities of my colleagues. As a result, it reduces unnecessary chit chat and messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, timeboxing can seem too detailed, and I often find myself assigning arbitrary numbers since it's hard to distinguish, for example, between a task that takes 3 hours and one that takes 4. Additionally, it's not always obvious whether someone's float is current or outdated—a 'last modified' feature could be helpful for keeping track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
