Easy and clear people allocation management
What do you like best about the product?
We originally used Excel spreadsheets for maintaining people-project allocations, perhaps similarly to other businesses. A specialised tool offers many benefits, such as notifications, different access levels based on the role, auditing and history, and much better data quality. We have integrated the data with our timesheeting in ServiceNow, and this allows very quick insights for team leaders into whether their team members are working according to the expectations.
I use Float weekly and can normally find the information I need very promptly and without much effort.

What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from ServiceNow, which has powerful data filtering possibilities, I find this a little lacking in Float. For example, having a list of colleagues who have available capacity in a given month I find a little challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Universal, company-wide allocation of people to projects is handled completely within Float. This makes it the single source of truth which everybody respects.
A visually clear workflow
What do you like best about the product?
Float visually organises the workflow in a way that's quick and easy to understand. The filters that help you compare different workflows are handy for overseeing the team's workload.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is less related to Float and more how the internal tasks are underdocumented on it for my role. No complaints about the platform itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to organise my day in terms on focused work and when I am able to locate meetings. It reduces the interruptions during my focus time and helps to report the actual time used later.
2 year user review
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to get a fuller overview of distributed colleagues. I think it has a fine UI and can be navigated without problems. It is still simple to adjust things like time off and project length for someone who does not use it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not think too many things come to mind, perhaps, it could be easier to sort/filter people to have a more specific view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seeing which collegues have capacity and ability to assist on other projects
Float has changed the way I work for the better
What do you like best about the product?
Float makes time and task management simple. It's intuitive and easy to use. The team scheduling percentages is super helpful at demonstrating who in the team may be overloaded or who might have capacity. It's helped us get a better grip of our billability and share workload around more appropriately. Now Float is the first thing I check when I get to the office in the morning. I don't know what we did without it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I regularly have to re-set my password to access float. I'm not sure if this is a me problem or a more generalised issue. It would also be good if you could integrate Float into Teams
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps us plan our workload in the team, and manage projects to ensure we are meeting client deadlines.
God workflow planning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see an short and long term view of team workload/ capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be quite buggy - the filter menus someones miss some of our teams our, the and/ or search tool is irritating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seeing where there are resource gaps in the team, tracking time spent on projects
A good way to view my schedule
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to quickly see what I've got on this week, as projects come in/out of priority.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be useful to be able to flag inaccuracies within the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me be aware of what my wider team is expecting to be delivered each week.
Float is easy to use and nice to look at and a very helpful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Colour patterns and its ease of use, easy to navigate around, very intuitive as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, clicking on someone's schedule by mistake can change it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I already know which projects I will be working on and others will be working on and for how long a project runs
Makes Work Easier
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that I can see exactly what's on my week - and the coming weeks up ahead. It's easy to plan my time with a detailed yet fluid system. At our advertising agency things change all the time, and Float enables us to keep on top of things. It's software that's embedded in our daily working lives, helping us to plan workload and keep teams in check.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way that people would see that I was in need of help if I was overbooked my daily allowance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float helps our team to understand what we're all working on as a team - and as indivduals. I really like that I can see exactly what's on my week - and the coming weeks up ahead.
Overall positive, some room for growth
What do you like best about the product?
i like being able to see everyone's schedules, and to sort and filter in different ways
What do you dislike about the product?
Capabilities are limited to certain user types, so it can be difficult to fully understand and take advantage of the platform if you have limited features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to see how my time is allocated
