Float.com Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Float is how clear and visual the resource planning is. The timeline view makes it easy to see who is allocated to what at a glance, which helps catch capacity issues early and avoid over‑ or under‑booking people. It’s also quick to adjust schedules when priorities change, and the interface is intuitive enough that team members can get up to speed without much training.

What I dislike about Float is that some more advanced reporting and customization options feel limited without exporting data. While the core scheduling works well, digging deeper into trends or historical insights can require extra steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the color coding options. It makes it really easy for our team to view people's schedules and organize the information in a way that makes the most sense to us. Organizing our schedules based on clients and assigning colors to each one makes it easier to see allocations in Float.com. The color coding helps us make decisions more quickly since we can view the schedule in this way, organizing it in our brains more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think it's the most user friendly at first. We switched from another resource management tool that everyone was able to understand really quickly. I think there's a lot of tabs that kind of feel like they do the same thing, but you're only able to do certain actions when you're in a certain view or on a certain page. So that can be kind of confusing. We tried doing a Monday integration, and that didn't work. It was actually quite challenging. We had a Float.com representative that tried to kind of onboard our team or prep our team, but I think we tried to implement it before we were really ready. So overall, the company struggled a lot with the implementation, and we didn't find the Float.com rep to be all that helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Float.com has a clean and clear schedule interface. It's helpful because, at a glance, I can see the blocks of work I have to do for the day. The initial setup of Float.com was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information within the blocks is not super clear, which might be due to the setup at the agency. Also, on mobile, when I click on a work item in the schedule, sometimes there's no way to close the pop-up, and I have to refresh the page to return to the schedule view.

I love how simple Float.com is, with moving bookings, adding placeholders, and changing time estimates all easily done by pointing, grabbing, and clicking. As a process tool, it allows me to spend less time on processes and more on actual project work, making handling bookings and tracking my work super quick and easy. The initial setup was super easy and hassle-free, which was great for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to be able to integrate Float with Asana, where I manage my work, so it automatically copy bookings between those two tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can move in and out of different projectes or people fairly quickly on the Report screen. I am a people manager as well as an individual contributor, so I have to balance views of multiple schedules and it is very easy for me to move around to get to what I need quickly.

I do not understand the Schedule page at all. The team member that is the "owner" of Float is able to look at it and know exactly what is going on, but the screen is overwhelming and I cannot make sense of it. I also really struggle when logging time, if I accidently bump my mouse or move in an incorrect way, it will log all of the time for that day even though it is not accurate. I wish there was a way to undo that when it happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Float for its intuitiveness and how easy it is to use. It’s implementation is smooth; it's straightforward to add my schedule in the time-blocking section and quickly get a clear, visual view of what I have on for the day. It’s also simple to check what everyone else is working on throughout the day. It integrates well with our profitability program, which lets us see in real time how profitable certain projects are compared to others. I use it every day along with the rest of my team, and if any issues come up, customer support is fantastic at making sure they’re resolved promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Float’s least helpful feature is probably that, once items are synced from my calendar, they can’t be moved around within the schedule. Sometimes I want to place a timed meeting between two other untimed tasks to block out that time, but I can’t reposition the meeting if it’s stuck at the bottom of the day. Aside from that limitation, Float has been fantastic for my everyday use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Float for a couple of months since we switched from Timely, and it’s been a noticeable upgrade. The user experience feels intuitive, so it’s easy to navigate and manage time efficiently. One of my favorite features is being able to schedule time and view the entire team’s timesheets in one place. That setup makes tracking simpler and gives better visibility into team workloads, which helps us stay organized and keep on top of our tasks. There is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, Float becomes a very effective tool for resource management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Float is a great tool overall, there are a few areas I find challenging. To start, the initial setup and learning how to use all the features can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if you’re new to this type of software, and it definitely takes some time to get comfortable with everything. In addition, the platform can sometimes feel a little slow when loading or updating, which is frustrating when you’re trying to move quickly. Lastly, I wish the reporting options were more detailed, since that would make it easier to generate more specific insights around time tracking and overall project progress.

What I like most about Float is its highly intuitive visual interface. It gives me immediate clarity on team capacity and project timelines at a glance, so it’s easy to see what’s happening without digging through details. The drag-and-drop functionality makes schedule changes quick and seamless. Overall, it removes much of the usual complexity of resource management and helps us stay organized and proactive, without the typical administrative overhead.

If I had to pick one thing, it would be the notification settings. I wish there were more granular controls to customize alerts for specific project updates. Additionally, the mobile app could be more optimized for editing schedules, as it currently feels more like a viewing tool than a management one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Float.com to receive tasks and scheduling from my project managers at a design agency. I love that it gives me a clear overview of who is working on what and what project codes are connected to my work. The ability to see when I and others can have holidays is extremely helpful. I find Float.com very intuitive, and it’s easy to filter different roles and projects. Since we are mid-sized teams that sometimes work together, I can easily choose which groups, roles, projects, and people I want to view. This makes it simple to see who in the other team might be involved and who I will work with in the upcoming weeks. As a designer, I use quite limited functions on Float.com, but I have nothing that needs improvement. It's a great step up compared to the previous project management tools we've used, and the overviews are fantastic. Switching was very easy for me as a user.
