Float Erfahrungen

Float has a fantastic UI and extremely easy to use
It also caters to specific team types like consulting while recognizing the work we do for external clients

It could have a better project search functionality. It is a bit glitchy

Easy to use. Easy to export data.
We used it during several years but we decided to switch to a more up to date software.

You can’t lock the hours, so every time a user is changing something you can’t justify your invoicing and reporting anymore.
Looks a bit old fashioned.

Easy to manage time schedule and easy to use

Nothing, eveything works well, you can learn to use it by yourself

It gives the possibility to use it with a low or high level of detail of scheduling. A lot of possibilities and very flexible tool.

I don't have any issue with the product. What I like least about using Float is that not every member of the team is committed in using it so we can have some misunderstandings because for instance the colleague schedule some time-off on Google calendar but then forget to report it also in Float.

The possibilities with float are very high, we could have done so much more to get the most of that software.

The redundance of the tasks, but it's more due to the use we do of the software than the software itself.

the features you'd expect are all at the finger tips, keeping track and scheduling all simple and work as you'd want it to, or expect

for my use i didnt have many complaints to delve into, signing in on the mobile app can be a bit frustrating but not worth getting upset about or worrying about.

I used float at my previous workplace and the ability to integrate with other apps such as Teamwork was brilliant and its easy to use and amend.

There wasn't anything that stood out for me

Time management. Collegues and managers can know when i'm available and what bandwith i have.

Nothing that i can think of. I like every aspect

Resource management software that assists groups in tracking project budgets, allocating resources effectively, and visualizing workloads.

Compared to other all-inclusive solutions, it could not have as many advanced project management features as those, task dependencies or time monitoring.

What sets this project management software apart is its exceptional user interface. Navigating through tasks, timelines, and reports feels intuitive and user-friendly. The visual representation of project timelines and progress is a standout feature, making it easy to grasp project status at a glance. This visual clarity has significantly enhanced our project planning and decision-making processes. With this software, complexity is simplified, and managing even intricate projects becomes a breez

In my experience with Float, the aspect that has the most potential for growth is the mobile app. While functional, it could benefit from more robust features and smoother navigation. Real-time updates and more comprehensive task management capabilities on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the product's utility for users on the go. Despite this, Float's desktop version remains a reliable tool for managing schedules and projects effectively.

The tool has a simple overview, visually similar to already known calendars. This means that you don't need any time to familiarize yourself with it. Just click and add entries.If you work with many different customers, you can create them once and then easily add individual projects within these customer folders.I especially like the fact that I can tell my clients apart right at first glance using the Color Coding feature. But when I need more information, I can also click on the entries and have access to the job number, the available budget, and any other information that might be available.Thanks Float - you make my daily work so much easier :-)

What could be improved:Currently, when I enter vacation, my projects in the same time frame just disappear from the schedule. This is quite inconvenient and should be fixed. It would be more practical to at least be warned and transfer the projects individually to someone else from the team, or be able to specify vacation substitutions so that the projects are automatically transferred.Also, it would be great if you could duplicate blockers via copy & paste. The split tool is often a bit impractical to use.

Visual format of scheduling people with the ability to adjust as necessary and the ability to generate reports based on schedules.

Inability to customize user info such as color or even assigning an icon for new PMs onboarding. Not everyone is going to learn everybody's name right away when new so it would make sense that we can assign each member of our team with a special color or icon.

UI is excellent. I like it very much. I am very comfortable managing a team's work as well as my own

In the past, I said that the logging button is hard to find on the navbar. Now this button is clearly visible. I'm grateful to Float for listening to customers

Easy to use and has a great structure of UI design

Sometimes I find it too difficult to set up new projects, that option could be less complex

I like that float allows me to track what my team is working on and when, as well as schedule them on new tasks easily and quickly as needed. It is also a great tool for ensuring your team isn't overburdened on any given day.

I find scheduling different hours on the same project in a week (or longer) can be tedious so I usually just end up splitting the hours equally across the week (or longer). So it's a rough outline of what projects I/my team are working on, but it isn't exact.

easy and fast to measure, user friendly and integrated with excel (csv)

choosing reporting and many users using "and" app is crashing often, I need to refresh or roll down the screen againg, it's problematic

One dashboard, one overview of all resources and it integrates with our job creation tool which makes it super easy for timesheets. Moving jobs to other days is just a drag and drop away.

It would be awesome, if a job doesn't exist in our job management tool, if float could create it via push.

The views that allows to see what the teammates are working on and help with allocation of resources in a dynamic environment.

The notifications for changes in the schedule is not clear on what was change.

Float's simple UI makes navigation extremely easy. Tracking my time across multiple projects is incredibly easy and makes forecasting future projects a breeze.

Not a ton to complain about with Float, it's easy to use and gets the job done.

It's so easy to use. You can get started using it with little to no training. Being able to track time for multiple projects weeks ahead of time and creating reports to look at how much time I would be spending on each project weekly and monthly.

I would love if it integrated with my outlook calendar or other calendars so I only had to update one.

In a consultancy environment ability to have a view of what the full team are working on is essential, helps with planning ahead and managing capacity

It is difficult to get a few of how many person hours are assigned to a project/ task. This would be useful from a budgeting perspective.

It was a great upgrade in terms of quickly visualizing the team's capacity and modifying tasks in real time.I also like the possibility of creating a project template because it saves me time when I add new projects.

I would like the possibility of de-zooming (or making the density more compact), because as I have a big team that would allow me to visualize the big picture of the workload of the team altogether.

I love that it is user friendly and easy to use. We are a service based business and it is therefore imperative that we are able to track time spent on each project effectively and accurately.

I would recommend that they enable the downloading of reports into excel.
