Float – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

Ease of use - specially the switching of my view vs company viewAlso, the color coding used in the scheduling view is very goodAnother good feature is to add multiple holidays/events on a single date, which caters to users working in different locations

Nachteile

When in the scheduling view, if the project name is long, and if a resource is assigned to it for a long period, on some weeks, the middle part of the project name is not visible. Only the first 15 or so and the last few characters are visible. This should be corrected. Also, I would like improvents in the view and functionality in the scenario when a resource is assigned to multiple projects on a single day or has a few hours off and not a full day off

Vorteile

I like the idea of being able to colour code tasks, assign tasks to an email and define time requirements as well as project details within a task. I also really enjoy the reporting side of things.

Nachteile

I would like it if Float offered the ability to change the title of some of the input box titles. For example, where it says "Project" I would like to be able to edit that to my own title.

Vorteile

Easy to use and has a great structure of UI design

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The ability to conveniently plan hours on projects and set milestones, the ability to create sub-departments

Nachteile

That you need to separate the schedules in order to mix the number of hours on a specific daySometimes the information is not displayed immediately when you check the reportsYou can improve the system with data exports, namely, convert the CSV file into an Excel file

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Clearer timelines improve productivity.""Team collaboration made effortless.""Real-time tracking saves guesswork.""Resource allocation is now a breeze.""Easier planning, better outcomes

Nachteile

Lacks certain advanced features.""Syncing issues with other tools.""Pricey for small teams.""UI can be occasionally clunky.""Needs better notification settings

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Very clear and simple to use, it is easy for everyone to understand and it doesn't have too many features that makes it complicated.

Nachteile

You can't create new projects on the mobile app.

Vorteile

Float makes managing a team's workload easier. I would be lost without it.

Nachteile

I don't have any issues with Float. Perhaps I need to explore the functionality further as currently I only use it for scheduling.

Vorteile

It's 'straight to the point' approach with giving a clear overview of how projects are performing within the agency and to give employees that overview of what they'll be working on.

Nachteile

A lack of a running timer for time tracking puts it at a disadvantage compared to other tools like Clockify.

Vorteile

Easy to use and share across different users

Nachteile

Adding more people to the team difficult or limited licensestracking budget adding leave and leave alternatives

Vorteile

Super useful for planning and capacity resource prediction and management across multiple projects and clients!

Nachteile

The integrations with Trello and Xero Projects leave a lot to be desired to be honest - there is no way to link existing Float projects to projects in these services

Vorteile

Design simple et utilisation intuitive.
Fonctionnalités utiles et modulation des temps très pratique.

Nachteile

A l’époque : ouverture API très sommaire.
Peu de documentation développeur

Vorteile

The service is stable and always up, and new features get added without making breaking changes.

Nachteile

Something there can be issues with permission on what I can do for the staff I manage.

Vorteile

I like how easy and convenient it is to schedule work for my team, assign tasks with details and deadlines, and manage my clients' appointments.

Nachteile

I use it for scheduling work and appointments. So, I like the way it is.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to use and all the customization

Nachteile

Can't think of any downsides! It's a great software for the workplace

Vorteile

Clean and tidy, every user needed 0 explications in using it

Nachteile

I have no one, I really like the schedule and the log tabs

Vorteile

I enjoy how simple it is. Software these days can feel bloated and overwhelming and in a digital age, Float has the right balance of features and lack of, to simplify the project management process.

Nachteile

I wish that float had a project management feature like asana built in so we wouldn't have to use both. I prefer float!

Vorteile

VEry happy with the speed of both onboarding and weekly logging of the time. It feels like what used to take me up to half an hour suddenly takes 5 s! So can't be more happy with it!

Nachteile

Initially I was a bit confussed when logging in on my own - after the inductions. There are quite a few features I don't use that are still there. It would be nice to be able to hide them, as I primarily use it for time keeping and sometimes to see which colleague works on what project.

Vorteile

The scheduling tool and time tracking is top-notch.The reports are great and easy to follow.

Nachteile

Task management is a bit fiddly and either too or not enough restricted.Having multiple way to define certain information (pricing) is great but can sometimes lead to a lack of clear vision.

Vorteile

My experience with Float has been great thanks to its many features
It makes all matter scheduling easy and time tracking is easy too

Nachteile

Bo bad experiences whatsoever with Float. It ticks all needs

Vorteile

I love the ease of use in creating our schedules, the flexibility to easily edit our schedules, and the overall informative nature of the interface.

Nachteile

It's too easy sometimes to change an item with a misclick - like shortening time set aside for a specific task by dragging in error.

Vorteile

We were previously working on a competitive solution. Compared to other solutions on the market, Float is affordable and allows you to use the tool to its full potential. You're not drowning in a ton of functionality and that's what I liked about it. The ease of use for users and the ease of management for administrators is very satisfying.

Nachteile

Perhaps the most annoying thing about Float is the ability to export a schedule for customers that is easy to understand. The statistics section could also be improved so that we can compare the time spent (and internal costs) against what has been sold (with the costs sold).

Vorteile

Float keeps everyone on schedule and engaged with tasks. With the features it has, it enhances productivity and the organization level of teammates.

Nachteile

Sometimes I experience random minor glitches that make me reload the schedule and lose filtering.

Vorteile

I think there are many benefits for the operations manager, but I'm not as familiar with those, but I think it is good for planning.

Nachteile

The desktop widget for tracking time is very hard to use. I have been using the desktop widget for harvest for years and for the past few weeks I've been using the float one and have been very frustrated. Adding hours by percentage of the hours is way too much math. Adding hours in general is very hard, harvest has a feature that works really nicely for if you left your timer running on accident. Still unclear on what happens if you leave your timer running on accident on float. I often think that I'm tracking my time well but then I check and it's only tracked half of the hours I thought it would.

Vorteile

It is a pretty straightfoward to use the use for scheduling and logging your time. There are more features that I as a simple use do. Some reporting functions are really useful for team management as well. Quick filtering options give you ease of use.

Nachteile

There are some project phases that I want to track - currently I only have the option to use a comment to indicate there. In the reporting functions, I did not find how to see how much time I spent on that particular task - could not find how to filter for comments.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Tiered access based on level in the company. Ease of use when allocating tasks and making modifications.

Nachteile

Cannot condense everyone's schedule into one page for easier view. Sometimes the way how filter works is not very clear or intuitive, things get complicated when having multiple filters in.

Float is a super quick way to make sure everyone knows who's working on what and when. Easy to quickly re-arrange scheduled to adapt to changes in projects.

Nachteile

Interface misses some simple things (e.g. why can't I right click to copy/duplicate a task?)being able to converse on a task and track billable/non billable time would probably mean we could ditch some of our other tools...

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

It's web based and easy to use. You can track based on projects or people.

You cannot see the projection of the finance accurately as if team members forget to log their time. This is a big disadvantage and would be the reason why wouldn't recommend.

Nachteile

there could be more colour options for project blocks

Vorteile

Very easy to use, it's been easy to get people onboarded.

Nachteile

Sometimes small features are a bit difficult - if you click away you lose what you've started milestoning, reporting and searching can sometimes be difficult but these are very minimal

Vorteile

Float has been designed well to have a intuitive user interface which is easy it to pick up and learn. Additionally, it promotes a balance between home life and work life as time recording encourages me to to identify signs of overworking. Overall it helps create a healthier and happier work life.

Nachteile

Time recording in general is burdensome or very administrative. I try to record my time at the end of each week as a habit but I tend to forget. I also receive several promotion emails from Float which is a bit annoying.

Vorteile

Float is a very useful tool in order to track your time in different tasks and projects.

Nachteile

It lacks of a good way of tracking vacations and time offs, it doesn't track them well.

Vorteile

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.

Vorteile

It's highly intuitive and easy to use. It integrates well with other software - my holiday time seems to be automatically propagated to Float

I think there needs to be an overall calendar view so I dont have to scroll multiple pages to review the status of my bookings for the month.

Vorteile

It's ease of use and interpretation plus its integration with Workflow Max

Nachteile

The cost of adding additional staff members

Vorteile

Capacity planning is crucial to our business and serves our needs perfectly

Nachteile

I would like to add a team member from another department to the overview of my team

Vorteile

What I like best about Float is its intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to create and manage schedules. The real-time collaboration and visual representation of team availability are also big advantages.
