Inconvénients

Pourquoi passer à Float

Avantages

Ease of usage, its quite straight forward.

Inconvénients

User Interface, which is so Basic.?The colour combination on screen are not great, so I get confused where to find what

Avantages

The general UI is very nifty and responsive, and the scheduling view is great for visualising timelines. When managing a specific project, it's great for visualising timelines and tasks across the team.

Inconvénients

It lacks certain reports and integrations, most importantly in the revenue tracking and headcount allocation space. This means that we had to resort to "hacks" to record information, and then visualise this data elsewhere. We also had to use hacks on other softwares to set up the right invoicing / approval / billing processes.

Avantages

The colour coding of projects and ease of real-time alteration of bookings.

Inconvénients

The delete function at the moment makes it too easy to make a mistake and delete a booking in error.

Avantages

Float is a super quick way to make sure everyone knows who's working on what and when. Easy to quickly re-arrange scheduled to adapt to changes in projects.

Inconvénients

Interface misses some simple things (e.g. why can't I right click to copy/duplicate a task?)being able to converse on a task and track billable/non billable time would probably mean we could ditch some of our other tools...

Avantages

Float Streamlines project scheduling and resource allocation.

Inconvénients

Float has limited customization options for unique workflows.

Avantages

minimalistic style makes it easy to identify different tasks and task blocks

Inconvénients

It's a bit basic in terms of what you can do with scheduling, could be more autonomous when assigning tasks in terms of setting your own colour permanently

Avantages

It lets me log whether I worked today and correctly assign projects

Inconvénients

Slightly annoying process to log multiple blocks for the same day

Avantages

Float has a fantastic UI and extremely easy to use
It also caters to specific team types like consulting while recognizing the work we do for external clients

Inconvénients

It could have a better project search functionality. It is a bit glitchy

Avantages

Intuitive and easy to use, focus on work schedule not project budget.

Inconvénients

Updates are not always realtime forced page reloads required which can be troublesome for the team.

Pourquoi passer à Float

Avantages

The possibilities with float are very high, we could have done so much more to get the most of that software.

Inconvénients

The redundance of the tasks, but it's more due to the use we do of the software than the software itself.

Avantages

It gives the possibility to use it with a low or high level of detail of scheduling. A lot of possibilities and very flexible tool.

Inconvénients

I don't have any issue with the product. What I like least about using Float is that not every member of the team is committed in using it so we can have some misunderstandings because for instance the colleague schedule some time-off on Google calendar but then forget to report it also in Float.

Avantages

the features you'd expect are all at the finger tips, keeping track and scheduling all simple and work as you'd want it to, or expect

Inconvénients

for my use i didnt have many complaints to delve into, signing in on the mobile app can be a bit frustrating but not worth getting upset about or worrying about.

Avantages

It gives a good overview over the planned projects, even if there are many employees in different teams. The planning, time tracking and reporting features seem to work in a stable manner. Sorting and filtering is done really well.

Inconvénients

There are some UX problems which are just plain weird. Scheduling time for an employee is tedious because the planned time affects the duration and vice-versa. We do our planning on a weekly basis instead of day-to-day, so we're often entering time planned like 0.4h/day which is more complicated than we would like it to be. There are some weird issues with the API as well, where some fields are not being applied correctly, or behavior changes with updates.

Avantages

You can filter down by project, title, names. You can also add details of the team members (what team they belong to, direct report or even simple tags like experience level)

Inconvénients

When you assign a team member to a project, and they need to work different hours in different weeks, you have to create an entry for each segment. E.g. 3hrs/day in Q1 and 4hrs/day in Q2, and then the same in Q3 and Q4, you need to create 4 different entries. It gets complicated if you program by week.

Avantages

It is a great tool to be integrated with jira - it works well for our team, it's a seamless, smooth integration that helps us estimate time & choose the right resource for any jira tasks. It is also easy to follow by the users who are marking tasks "complete", adding comments, mark bookings as tentative. All very clear and transparent.

Inconvénients

The integration with google calendar doesn't work that well. Some of the bookings are wrong / outdated / are not being updated / duplicated / not being displayed in a correct project or are missing. Luckily, the support team is open to help with this kind of issues. Also, the annoying feature is that the "View in jira" link doesn't work for duplicated bookings. It doesn't work well for our team as more people use the same tasks on jira in different time. It's impossible to search using the jira ticket number (you have to know the ticket name). Also, ticket numbers are not displayed in the “Task” field- that causes some confusion because we work with tasks with similar names.

Avantages

My whole team can access it, and really helps drive who is on what piece of billable work.

Inconvénients

Gets hard to manage lots of small projects and tasks, the view gets crowded and hard to read. Reporting is straight forward either, its hard to understand initially what they show

Avantages

Its best function, in my opinion, is to be able to forecast a company's cash flow. Something that some entrepreneurs do not take into consideration and leads them to bankruptcy. He is also an excellent manager.

Inconvénients

There are problems in the reformulation of the activities, it occurs when you want to modify some tasks and these are not modified at the same time in the schedule.

Avantages

UI is excellent. I like it very much. I am very comfortable managing a team's work as well as my own

Inconvénients

In the past, I said that the logging button is hard to find on the navbar. Now this button is clearly visible. I'm grateful to Float for listening to customers
