Great platform for staffing and management

A good platform to manage: who, what and when. Float has maintained the visual people focus I love about the original product. Integrates well with our data compliance and avoids budget/client confidential data which will need to stay on our intranet. Presentation mode and time split functions are areas to grow functionality.
Pros
Intuitive and easy to use, focus on work schedule not project budget.
Cons
Updates are not always realtime forced page reloads required which can be troublesome for the team.

Useful software but seems old fashioned
Reviewed on 24/02/2024
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Great tool for planning of a numerous team
Reviewed on 16/04/2024
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
