Float Ratings and Reviews
- Allysa J.Project Manager
It's really really REALLY easy to use with a very intuitive interface. Float is continuously tweaking features for the better to further improve upon the UI/UX. My project management team did a lot of research on resource management tools and Float was the only one that allowed for such a granular view (i.e., instead of planning sprints in 2 weeks, it's day by day). We needed that for our business as we are run day-to-day with sometimes very small tasks (0.5-1hr) and Float was the only one allowing us to get that granular. Further, whenever we've had an issue the Support team is very quick and responsive to helping us!
The Reporting tools aren't as great and well-organized as our Finance/Billing team would like. But the front-end is superior to the other tools my team considered so we are still using on that front. - Kyle K.Principal Crafter
It allows me to schedule my time among various, billable projects as well as for time off. Others like being able to use that to project cash flow. The UI is really difficult to use. While it does seem to be improving, it requires fore knowledge of unintuitive UI elements that don't outwardly suggest being interactive and also fine-grained mouse clicking on distinct elements that are very close together. Ask them to write a new UI. The functionality is fine as far as I can tell, but their UI really needs some more attention to detail and user experience. For me as an employee, it solves the problem of booking time off. For others, it helps them estimate future cashflow. Functional, but difficult UI Hi Kyle, sorry to hear you're not digging our interface! We pride ourselves on how intuitive our scheduling is.
