Easy to use and to teach to new employees

Occasional bugs when using the iPhone app.

Easy to schedule a team - no more paper timesheets.

The ability to view the planning of your colleges and to do resource planning based on availability. The tool have a clear visibility of planned project allocations. The filtering also works well.

The lack of more in detail daily breakdown of tasks.

Project resource planning and consultant availability.

Ease of use fantastic interface great reporting Drag and drop features

Doesn't have all the features that some other market leaders have, and reporting could continue to improve

Transparency, we can see where all team members should be spending their time. It makes it easy for an overview, and for people to stay up to date on their work .

Easy to use, helpful and multi-screen... it's definitely a best-in-class in resource planning. Thanks to simple drag and drop features it's very easy to organize and visualize tasks and planning. All the team can see our schedule and we can see what each other is doing.

It can be difficult to synchronize a whole team on a single task. We have to create fav with people of the team to easily have access to their schedule. If not, we lose them on the next log in.

I spend less time organizing my tasks, and more time to actually do them. It's a time saver and I can easily track my times on a daily basis, making it more efficient.

The integration in our existing business was easy and helpful to keep track of everyone's task and check availabilities in one sight. Organisation is one of the most important things in a company.

Nothing, it is very easy and intuitive to use. I really recomend it.

Float really gives the chance to reorganize the schedule if needed, we have gained a lot of time.

It helps you to properly log the time you dedicate to each task.

At first, you need to create templates for each type of project you will work on, otherwise organising your tasks to properly track your time becomes a bit of a nightmare.

It helps to see where resources need to be allocated.

Easy to see what is scheduled. Clear view.

Needs to be easier to find me - logged in user should be more prominant

To find out what work I have been assigned to.

Ease of use and great interface. Very simple to manage our resource and forecasting within this product.

Could do with a few more project management features to become a more advanced product

How to assign resource correctly and forecast resources going forward for project planning

UI is simple and nice - I enjoy the ease of use and drag and drop of tasks.

After normal corporate hours ability to add tasks it looks a little clunky and could use to be tidied up as sometimes projects may take some time to complete.

Problems are listed above such as the after regular hours ability to add tasks it looks messy - benefits is too see a streamlined interface of where each user/colleague is working on.

My favourite part about float is the ease to manage client work with colour coding and the capability to edit and view other colleagues schedules

Float could be improved with functions such as duplicate and reoccurring tasks

The ability to view colleagues schedules and the schedules of rooms has made office work much easier

the ease of use this platform. Sometimes it doesnt need to be any feature, just simple as float make schedule perfect

I like to see the feature of seeing other staf schedule. Because human brain is full of curiousity

The benefit of using float is we can see what time the deadline meet

Float is extremely easy to use and you can work on it like a pro from day one. Its dashboard is quite clean and uncluttered. I can see mine and my team's performance and plan clearly on the dashboard. We can send updates, assign its priority and plan everything in advance with its help.

Its quite an amazing planner but it still has a long way to go. It still doesn't offer some features such as proper functioning search bar, its dashboard is quite small, etc. But probably the whole point in using this software is less is more.

Planning and updating tasks among team members. Keeping the track and maintaining workflows.

Simple and clean overview of resource planning. Easy to adjust and play with.

Seems a bit slow when including lots of resources. Once detailed analyses is needed (e.g. budget allocation on subparts of projects) it seems to be limited.

Easier overview of resource planning

I like that you can split bookings so every day is defined with the precise hours required on that resource, rather than a large blanket booking. I like that there are unlimited colour choices for each user, and one can easily identify each resource's role in the company. I like that you can easily see when someone is overallocated.

I dislike the extra step that one must take to add a new client and new project. It's an additional step that I find too cumbersome and not user friendly. I also don't like that there isn't a simple "duplicate" button, rather, you must split it and then move it to a different resource.

We've discovered that larger companies need something like Float so we can be more precise with booking. Since time management is crucial in the production industry, we appreciate that you can be more accurate in bookings.

Float is very quick and easy to use and add activities in. I find the usability one of the best aspects of Float, as it is simple to teach and learn, which makes it so easy to implement. The last thing you need is to add cumbersome processes and time consuming activities to an already busy team.

I think many of the issues I originally had with Float have been fixed or new features added in the time I have been using it. New updates and features have overcome some of the complicate menus and streamlined the process for adding new tasks.

Our team are getting a very good idea on where our time is going and what clients or activities are taking the most time. It's able to track how much time is going into our own management and processes and how much time is going to client work. We don't use it a lot for forecasting, but would like to get there one day. At this stage it is very helpful in providing a log of our time.
