    Float is by far the easiest project management software i've ever used. It provides reliable organisation, tagging and staffing needs that any user can quickly use and adapt to. What I like about Float compared to other software is it focuses on the work week versus project allocation budgets. Adjustments on time blocking, swapping staff, project codes and details are intuitive and minimal clicks. I find this is a well-rounded tool for group timesheet scheduling, holidays, isolating project milestones and holidays to our internal intranet so it complies with our data regulations.

    For example it allows our team to make scheduling adjusmtents when projects go on hold, or have temporary stopping pooints as it allows it to organize our team to fill hours where it is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Undoubtedly, the most notable quality of this project management software is its flexibility. It caters to diverse project types and team structures seamlessly. Whether you're running an agile development project or a traditional waterfall project, this software adapts and supports your methodologies. This flexibility extends to customization options, allowing us to tailor the software to our specific needs. In a world where projects vary greatly, this adaptability is a treasure.

    I really like using float for the first time in my 7 years of professional career as it helped me to move me from sticky notes to the web version of a kind of time table that I used to create for my day to day tasks. Its feature of scheduling has also helped my manager to have the right visibility of my work time as a result of which he has kept our work management balanced.

    I like the idea of being able to colour code tasks, assign tasks to an email and define time requirements as well as project details within a task. I also really enjoy the reporting side of things.

    Float is being used by myself and my Director of Operations. We both use the service to forecast out our cash flow. Depending on the numbers we see we allocate more to each department across the organization to spend more in order to grow faster. This is a crucial service for us as we are trying to maximize our growth by spending as much as possible.
    Float is great for a startup/small (< 20 employee companies) that have limited resources for keeping an eye on cash flow. Yes, you could hire a contractor CFO, but it would simply be less expensive to use Float and educate yourself a bit about cash flow. For larger companies I feel like you would have a dedicated financial controller or CFO that may already have tools they are familiar with, but this service might also still be useful.
    Cash flow management. Forecasting out how much you can spend. Quickbooks integration.
    Quickbooks integration could be improved to automatically include recurring transactions. Pricing is a little steep for smaller businesses.

    Float in our organization manages the capacity, work hours, and public holidays. We use float to assign or reassign resources to projects. Assign hours to resource on the particular project and we can also view the holidays in between if any. Assigning of task is very easy and quick using float. It also helps us in reporting.
    I would definitely recommend everyone to use Float, It's easy and friendly to use. Performance-wise as well it is great. Really helps in streamline and scheduling resources and their utilization. Its reporting feature is great, Shows all projects for a particular resource or all resources for a particular project. It's a go-to tool for management.
    Assigning task Maintaining Holidays Reports on Project or resource
    More mobile friendly Scrolling through x and y dimension is bit confusing I have been using Float for a long time and no more cons I can think of.

    I've been using CETA scheduling software for the last 4 years in big VFX companies and I must say that Float is not there yet but is actually getting broadly comparable. In the last 4 months that I introduced it into my new team it's proved to be quite useful to keep track of the progression of our projects. During these months I've seen that it has already improved in many areas that I'm excited to see what comes next. I can see it can become a really powerful software.

    Float enlightened us on how to have better planning and resources allocations. It allows us to first understand what is available to use and with such information, it becomes easy to plan our work based on what we have and what we are capable of. It allows us to institute responsibility among ourselves since it easy to know who is allocated to which job.
