Float – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

High level view of project plan with team schedule

Nachteile

More budgeting options (Hours reset monthly)

Vorteile

Float is an user friendly easy to use tool that allows accurate time tracking and budget monitoring.

Nachteile

I wish it was more customizable according to division's needs!

Vorteile

I find the tool easy to use once one gets one's head around toggling between "logged" versus "scheduled" when on the Report view.

Nachteile

I would like to be able to click "start" and "stop" when starting and stopping an activity on a project. One often doesn't remember how long one worked on an activity and being able to use Float to do this would be very helpful. I would like to see a better report dashboard that shows, for example, percentage of budget spent and what the margin is.

Vorteile

I enjoy the ease to add and archive employees

Nachteile

I feel like it is overly-complicated and difficult to spread hours across resources / projects, and the reporting it confusing. It also doesn't allow you to add pass thru costs to a project seamlessly.

Vorteile

That is just all on sight and allows me to see my workload for the day/week.I also can plan ahead, and manage all the projects I work on.

Nachteile

Time tracker doesn't have an actual tracker, you have to fill in the time manually. So I need to complement that by using another app.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and helps me and my coworkers to track our tasks and schedules. Notes can be added to the tasks and it makes it easier to find details about each task. We also use it to communicate our day offs and personal appointments, etc. with our team.

Nachteile

I wish it was easier to control the week to week panel view.

Vorteile

La vision sur une semaine pour voir un aperçu général des membres de l'équipe

Nachteile

De ce que j'ai vu jusqu'à présent Float me semble très complet

Vorteile

Float is simple to use, looks good, and has a good selection of shortcuts to make it easier

Nachteile

The new feature where it inputs your task for you based on the latest task from that project can be really frustrating

Vorteile

Does what it says on the can! The app itself is intuitive, lightweight, and isn't bloated with features. It was easy to set up thanks to a detailed Help Center and a great onboarding team. The Float Community Slack channel is also an excellent resource.

Nachteile

There are a few additional features I'd like, but the Float team is pretty transparent with their roadmap, so I'm confident most of those will be added in the coming months.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Float

Vorteile

Overall, the visual resource planning with Float is superb. It's very easy for our teams to track progress across projects. Project managers have high transparency and visibility into 'resource' (aka analyst/associate) staffing, and this has made delivering projects on time much easier than before. Assigning resources between team members is also very easy.

Nachteile

There was a slight learning curve for some of our team members, but that's really the only drawback we experienced.

Vorteile

Float help and support on managing teams efforts on different project and give clear understanding on which projects are consumer our time and resources

Nachteile

it's easy to use and can and provide the right kind of reports

Vorteile

Easy to use and a very clear scheduling tool

Nachteile

There is nothing that I do not like about Float

Vorteile

I really appreciate the custom tracking categories and the team schedule.

Nachteile

I've encountered a couple bugs in my time using float, but they were both fixed very quickly.

Vorteile

It's a simple and effective solution, that is very easy to implement and for multiple users to maintain.

Nachteile

Some of the editing functions are less intuitive and can cause issues.

Vorteile

Nothing

Nachteile

"You need to redesign it; it has awful UX and a horizontal calendar. It's not possible to find your last week or current week easily; it constantly jumps to the start of the year. There is no clear visibility of which week is the current one or which days are missed. It's unclear why the Schedule calendar and Log time calendar are separated."

Vorteile

Modern, user friendly, interactive, effective visuals.

Nachteile

Live updates, cost tracking, thats all really

Vorteile

UX/UI, usability, flexibility, and stability of the service

Nachteile

there is nothing to complain about from my side

Vorteile

We primarily use float for availability of time and tracking what days we will be working on what projects; which it does this with ease.

Nachteile

Integration with outlook could be better, allow the option to bring through projects into outlook with different statuses as currently i am always showing as busy on teams.

Vorteile

UI and organization. It looks clean and is easy to use

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind.

Vorteile

I really liked the ability to have a real-time view of my team's availability and workload, with this I have been able to assign tasks more efficiently and ensure that all resources are being used optimally.

Nachteile

I would like to point out that this platform is not the most intuitive tool in terms of its design and navigation because sometimes I find myself looking for certain features or functionality that are a bit hidden or not as accessible as I would like.

Vorteile

Once you get over the learning curve, Float has an intuitive and efficient layout. Time tracking is very fast.

Nachteile

The learning curve was moderate. This could certainly be improved.

Vorteile

Easy to manage time schedule and easy to use

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Keeping track of calendar events and task management is so smooth using Float.

Nachteile

None, all features are very useful and user friendly

Vorteile

Easy to use and navigate. Simple design.

Nachteile

That you have to pay per member that you add.

Vorteile

How clear the UI is, making it easy to learn where things are and to see what projects people are working on.

Nachteile

Some of the drag features i.e for extending time are too sensitive.

Vorteile

For the most part, it's a user friendly software that helps me track hours and stay accountable for progress in real time.

Nachteile

Splitting tasks can be tedious. I also find it frustrating having to hide resources that aren't currently available.

Vorteile

To calculate the time consumption on different different tasks in a project. Its micro management.

Nachteile

Sometimes it doesn't sync and can cause issues.

Vorteile

It's easy to schedule a task and move it around. The API is there and its rather easy to get the data out of the tool.

Nachteile

I don't like how the tool looks, visually. Especially the project planning part. Many basic features that are available in other project management tools are not available, for example the Gantt chart is not really there. The reporting part is very weak. A lot of people in the office like the tool, I think, but for me it's not the best because of some basic things are missing. We ended up using Qlik to build reporting part and the Gantt chart.

Vorteile

Able to keep track of projects and tasks for the week

Nachteile

Inability to add hours for a project that hasn't been assigned

Vorteile

The ease of use and helping things to be clearly organised throughout the team.

Nachteile

Integration with teamwork project management software could be better.

Vorteile

What I like most about float is how easy it is to use and view

Nachteile

There is nothing in particular to do not like about float

Vorteile

It's difficult to know how exactly how my next week will go, and where I'll spend my time. Float allows for flexibility as I can track time to different clients easily, without lots of admin or support.

Nachteile

The platform is visually quite busy, making it difficult to scan

Vorteile

It's great that Float updates live. I can have a chat with my account service team and watch the schedule populate as they fill it in. Being able to see my availability at a glance (or whether I'm over capacity) is a great feature.

Nachteile

It would be better if I could disable email reminders from float at a user level. I could not find an unsubscribe option when management decided I needed a daily reminder email.

Vorteile

Smooth interface and nice color scheme. Time tracking is easy.

Nachteile

Very expensive and can be tedious to use.

Vorteile

The UI is pretty intuitive and lets you check what everybody on your team is doing.

Nachteile

Doesn't record the time of entrance nor the finish time.

Vorteile

It is really easy to plan ressources and to evaluate the outcome of the scheduling.The reporting feature is great.

Nachteile

When I have planned someone on a phase the duration of the phase changes to the planned start and end time of this.I then can't change the end date of the phase and don't get any clue as where to fix this.

Vorteile

Easy to use and get employees on board, and collaborating

Nachteile

At a push, one could make use of this software to manage more parts of their business, perhaps features for employees requesting time off and management verifying and tracking this.

Vorteile

Really nice interface and very easy to use. I use this to track time and keep up to date with what projects I'm working on. It's very user friendly and great that it has the ability to be linked to outlook to ensure my calendar is up to date.

Nachteile

Nothing, I don't use it as much as others may within my team so don't know about the full capabilities but from a time management perspective i think it's the nicest platform i've used.

Vorteile

C'est un logiciel qui facilite la gestion de projet. J'adore son interface intuitive et ses fonctionnalités puissantes

Nachteile

Les inconvénients son très minime, je le trouve parfait

Vorteile

I like the overall look, minimal interface and many helpful tooltips and on hover states. I find this product generally looking modern and intuitive.

Nachteile

Visual differences when reporting same amount of hours on different days: For example - on Monday I was working on 1 project and on Tuesday they were 3 projects I was involved in - I report the same amount of hours, but the length for those days varies due to gaps between projects. Visually I see that I reported different length (height of cards). I remember feeling confused when logging my hours for the first time. It would be helpful to see them all visually aligning at the bottom if in total there was the same amount of time.

Vorteile

We wanted a way to easily track productivity and schedules for the staff in our office. We also use the tool to help staff with forecasting their schedules.

Nachteile

Float has been very easy to integrate. I am not familiar with all the functions, but right now we don't have reminders set up through Float which would be useful to remind staff to utilize it.

Vorteile

It gives a great overview of fees spent on projects in real time as team members log their hours, and is broken down into different phases. This makes cost management for a project manager accurate and easier.

Nachteile

Reporting functionality can be better by having an option to capture estimates vs actuals not just scheduled vs logged. Employee hourly rates don't update in bulk on all of their projects, meaning it must be manually done on every single project, resource by resource.

Vorteile

It is easy to log time towards specific projects and tasks for each of those projects. Having the ability to add a note as a reminder of the exact task to which the time was logged is particularly helpful.

Nachteile

The scheduling homepage is not intuitive for the new user. The home page should clarify that the scheduling page is not the logged time page.

Vorteile

I like that Float allows me to easily plan and manage my projects.

Nachteile

The pricing can be a bit much for someone just starting out.

Vorteile

i liked the ability to track how much i spent on what project.

Nachteile

some times some server issue. and other minor bugs

Vorteile

I appreciate the customer service. [sensitive content hidden] is the best and deserves a raise.

Nachteile

I don't like the "trainings" they offer. It's by a young 20-year-old-girl who is clearly doing a job for a paycheck. It's super quick, very surface level and not very helpful. As a company, I would record trainings that are actually helpful and save the money you're paying her.

Vorteile

The ability to set custom hours on projects and descriptions allows me as the user to know what i am cracking on with.

Nachteile

Currently i have no issues with float, as it is serving its purpose.

Vorteile

Float offers a comprehensive and intuitive interface that greatly simplifies resource management and scheduling. The live view of data on people, projects, hours, and budgets is incredibly helpful in ensuring accurate information and forecasting project delivery. I particularly appreciate the ease with which I can create and assign projects, as well as the ability to allocate resources efficiently.

Nachteile

One aspect that I find slightly challenging is the learning curve associated with the initial setup and configuration. It took some time to fully understand all the features and functionalities of Float.

Vorteile

Its easy to use, and so useful to see whos on which jobs with me. Makes planning my week very easy. It is so convenient

Nachteile

Theres some kind of bug that means when I scroll to the right to look at future weeks, the whole thing shifts up/down so I lose the person I'm tracking

Vorteile

You can work remotely by assigning tasks as optimally as possible and in real time. In addition, by having an intuitive interface, collaborators tend to contribute more.

Nachteile

For companies with a more complex organization, it would require other complementary software to develop more advanced functions such as the development of complex reports.
