Float vs Slack Comparison

It is easy to add projects and assign them to different employees. The reporting tools are very helpful as well. The overview of what everyone is working on is very helpful. Searching within the program is perfect.

Slack or Jira integration would be helpful.

The user interface, and how intuitive the application is to use.

The application does not integrate with Slack

This software is very easy to use in every aspect, the cards, the columns are very intuitive and the options are the ones that are necessary for every team.

Missing integration with slack and missing a dashboard

Very easy and intuitive to use, reports make sense, useful links with other software (e.g. Slack).

Mobile app's use for scheduling is not extremely easy to see a medium to long term time frame. Not able to have different normal working weeks for different projects.

The best part about the software is the ability to sync float with my offices slack group

Can be a little laggy with an older computer

Easy to use. The drag and drop functionality keeps it very simple.

Might be expensive if your team grows. I would also like to control the type of triggers for the slack notifications.

Great visual design experience. An eagle-eye view of whole resources and team schedules. Slack integration is just lit.

No project management software feature. If it was there, we would have used just float for both project management and resource planning/scheduling.

Float gives me a great overview of what's on today's schedule. The tool is customizable and can fit my agency's needs.

The notifications are somewhat inconsistent and I believe that they can be optimized even more. Perhaps a Slack integration would be cool?

Float is straightforward from a user perspective. I have yet to have any issues with it. Slack integration is especially nice.

I do wish there was better feature parity between mobile and web, but otherwise, I have no major complaints with Float. Float allows me to easily input my time tracking.

Easy to use, integrates well with Slack, and provides a good iOS app that works well on iPad. Google Calendar integration is also handy.

Lack of dedicated Android app, although the web functionality is usable.

What I like the most is the easy navigation and display of the information. The whole team knows at a glance what other team members are all the time and that's really useful when you have to collaborate.

Sometimes the font size feels a bit small. Also, it would be cool to have integration with other apps like Slack or Google Docks in order to share some notes.

I really like the simplicity of Float, as you get everything done with drag and drop. Filling a week of our 15+ people is a breeze.

There are some "glitches". One glitch is related to making the autocomplete more obvious, because when you delete the whole text in the field it stays there. Another glitch is that sometimes the sync breaks on other clients and they have to refresh to pull-in changes. Their Slack integration is really basic at the moment, as it streams notifications over Slack. It would be way cooler and useful if it could send the weekly schedule to each member.
