Float has improved collaboration among our departments.
Float has improved collaboration among our departments.
Pros
Float has all the features I need for my startup like a robust mobile app so Im not bound to my system while working. And the UI is another thing I appreciate. The app not only enables me to share files with the right people but to be a part of the conversation wherever I am as well. I also find the widgets in Float as quite detailed.
Cons
There’s nothing really deal-breaking for me here, but if I had an issue I know that the customer support team will be kindly receptive to my comments and suggestions. As of now, I would like the possibility of customizing Float according to our company branding.

Total lifesaver for project managers.
Total lifesaver for project managers.
Pros
Float is great for project managers as it allows for easy management of time while adding contract workers at the same time. It has great visuals and a smooth UI. My designer has been really appreciative of it and used to have trouble sorting his work week’s flow with our older software.
Cons
It’s a small issue, but we have wasted a lot of time trying to figure out a color scheme for tagging our projects, which could be tagged automatically. Also, entering a project (if it’s not already there) is a bit annoying as well. I just need to have an option to ‘add a project’ when I enter a date or time rather than going out of the search and specifically choosing the add project option. It would just save me time, thats all.

A simplified way of performing project management.
A simplified way of performing project management.
Pros
Float enables us to add jobs and projects quickly. The helpful color codings make each activity and project stand out for our convenience. It allows us to log larger blocks rather than just the required "logs per minute." We have made better time logs and plans thanks to Float.
Cons
Project planning is not as detailed as we wouldve preferred. The provided tools are currently quite basic. And time tracking, which we use the most, is not available individually.

Amazing data management with a quick search feature..
Amazing data management with a quick search feature..
Pros
Float has an excellent UI and is simple to use. It enables coordination between several resources across multiple projects. It is evident that they have given priority to usability, effective use of screen space, and straightforward navigation. The main highlight is surely the search feature with which a single word can yield extensive information, including tags.
Cons
One significant problem with Float is that anyone can alter literally any value for any field. This basically means that lists of task names, clients, job descriptions, etc. cannot be centrally controlled. This makes it challenging to analyze data across records if there are multiple users of the system.

Although this is very useful software, it cannot always provide a smooth experience..
Pros
It has an interface like that of a calendar, which is very welcoming for new users. Float is exceptionally easy to use, and the calendar-like part has encouraged our teams to use it. Since the user experience is constant throughout the entire product, Ive been learning more about Float the more I use it.
Cons
I use a trackpad, and that has been the biggest hurdle in my experience with Float. Sometimes, the software gets buggy and randomly receives a click from my trackpad, which opens up a certain dialogue box and ends up wasting my time.

Easy-to-use software that gets the job done!
Easy-to-use software that gets the job done!
Pros
I had a difficult time comprehending trainer occupancy before we had Float, and it was impossible to plan training across multiple regions well in advance. Thanks to Float, I can quickly see whats coming up and give stakeholders accurate reports so they know how busy we are and will be. I can quickly assess how much time we spent on what at the end of the quarter.
Cons
I access Float as a member and a project manager, and switching between those can be difficult. I think it would be wonderful if there were a "Department Manager" role that allowed those with this level of access to change the calendar for anyone in their department but not those in other departments.

Indispensable for Efficient Resource Management
Indispensable for Efficient Resource Management
Pros
I'm highly impressed by its seamless integration with various project management and communication tools. This has significantly enhanced team collaboration and the synchronization of critical information on a unified platform. Moreover the bulk editing feature for project plans has simplified updates and adjustments saving me considerable time and effort.
Cons
While this tool boasts a range of valuable features there are a few areas that could benefit from enhancement. Notably the absence of an integrated time tracking function stands out. Although I can allocate tasks and monitor my team's availability the inability to track taskspecific time within the platform necessitates the use of an additional tool.

Efficient Planning with Float
Efficient Planning with Float
Pros
An essential feature that stands out is the ability to generate detailed reports including budget reports. This facilitates effective cost management and oversight. Float's userfriendly interface is a major advantage although it does require some time for thorough exploration and resource management.
Cons
Float is wellsuited for managing projects of moderate size but its effectiveness diminishes for largerscale projects involving multiple longterm tasks within the same project. This occasional limitation hampers Float's ability to handle extensive projects effectively.
