It was very good. Very helpful to creative teams, always flooded with requests.
Float is easy to use. Very intuitive. Just dragging and dropping, and you can see the whole team at once. It helps to define the priority of things, seeing if they have to go further on the calendar or if we should hire a freelancer when the team is too busy. Plus, I find the interface more friendly than other options like Resource Guru.
There's nothing I strongly don't like about Float. I just wish it was a little more affordable for startups.

resource management
Easy to compare resources for under/over utilisation.
can be difficult to copy/paste tasks and move around as needed
Thanks for your review, Louis! Great to hear you're monitoring utilization across the team with Float. In case you haven't tried it, to copy-paste a task, hold the shift key and click and drag the task. Et voilá!

Ease of integration with Microsoft Outlook Allows for quick review of personnel and where they are scheduled to be, what projects or milestones they are supporting, so we can determine what personnel can be available for other projects or milestone support.
Not integrated into our resource management software

Excellent resource management tool
The ease of changing around the work schedules of the resources
The project management part is not powerful enough for our use
Thanks for your review, Bjørnar! Happy to hear that Float is helping you manage your team's schedule!

All concerned have the visibility now of the full resource. Resource Planning is much easier with this tool.
We just needed a basic software that will support our resource planning requirements and Float answered that. It's easy to use and adopt and affordable so we are happy to be using it now.
That it could not be linked to our leave management software (OrangeHRM)

Reporting can be improved to allow more KPI forecasting any resource conflicts.
visibility of schedule for forward planning and addressing any resource conflicts. However, it is restricting when there many projects for one resource not easy to manage.
Not able to export / run performance reports based on full year.

The benefits are that we can obtain a clear and quick overview of the resource mix for the business.
Clear overview of status and resource mix
Interface is sometimes laggy and scrolling to the future distorts the view

We do a great job of keeping our consultants busy and our projects on track with Float. It's visually appealing and presents a great plan on a page view of our workload
Really good visual demonstration of resource utilisation
Not the most intuitive to set up so takes a bit of time to manage

Simplicity, easy to understand view to the resource allocation.
Not really cons. It is a tool for a single job and it does that very well.
