Pros

Although there is room for improvement, I think in the last year it has improved greatly and am excited to see what features are to come in the future.

Have really loved using this software. It's been user friendly, informative, detailed and is a great platform to organise and structure work within out agency.

I liked how quick and easy this software was to use, as I'm not that good with technology I was amazed at how simple it is.

Pros

Its easy to use, it has a good layout and is clean. I also like the UI, it's not cluttered or over complicated.

I like the visual representation of projects and I have made it that each client is a different color which is so helpful. This rally helps my team understand what is going on and what is priority.

Float is helping us to understand better our resource management and the financial health of the projects. It helps us to decide which is the best team to work on which project.

Cons

Hence, we don't need reminders about overbooking. These are a little irritating.

Updating my work schedule/bookings is no longer a task that I dread. With Resource Guru, I am able to update my work schedule easily and quickly on a daily basis.

If someone else books your work, they have to delete or change it. If my schedule changes and the booker is not available to change it then it causes problems on my end.

Cons

I am not crazy about the graphic style of the calendar / schedule view. Hiding over the weekend it is difficult to see at a glance the separation between the various weeks.

Missing integration with slack and missing a dashboard.

So I have nothing to point out that is bad or buggy.

Float

I recommend

Reviewed 2 years ago

It was very good. Very helpful to creative teams, always flooded with requests.

Pros

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.

Cons

There's nothing I strongly don't like about Float. I just wish it was a little more affordable for startups.
