I have been able to schedule absolutely everything I need to do for the month and what's great is that I get an email reminding me of what's next to do. The support team has been great.

Float has been a super useful way to manage and keep track of tasks for the day. The layout is very clean and straightforward so it's easy to navigate through.

No more ugly resourcing spreadsheets that are impossible to follow.

I would recommend Float for small to mid sized companies definitely, it is a great product boost and good way of reporting and seeing issues early.

The ease of use is great and allows me to keep my schedule maintained quickly. I love the drag and drop feature and the ability to color code.

The interface is clear and pleasant. I like the ability to track the tasks that are assigned to me and at the same time have an overview of all the projects assigned to each resource.

Float is SUPER easy to use and very user-friendly. I had never used this kind of software in any of my previous positions and it's so helpful.

Overall for the money it's great. Easy to use but again it is only as good as the information being put into it.

Very happy with the product, it's clean and easy to use. We had senior managers who use the guest function to just view the forecasted consultancy and not paying for a guest viewer login is great.

I like how clearly I can see what I am supposed to be doing each day. I like how easy it is to amend any resourcing.

Fast business integration with handy task, resource and budgeting tools. A great overview of daily tasks for each person of the team.

I have yet to have any issues with it. Slack integration is especially nice.

Extremely good integration with budget control programs.

The forecasting cashflow features are great. The integration with FreeAgent makes Float the best option.

I appreciate the customer service. Sensitive content hidden] is the best and deserves a raise.

Clean user interface which is easy to navigate around. You have a good overview of the team and their current responsibility at a glance.

Further, whenever we've had an issue the Support team is very quick and responsive to helping us.

So far its good with minor issues but it was all taken care by the customer support. This is a good product which needs a little bit of improvement.

We do a great job of keeping our consultants busy and our projects on track with Float. It's visually appealing and presents a great plan on a page view of our workload.

I hate that you can't lock items into place and that when you move items around they don't automatically push out the schedule.

At the beginning splitting and moving tasks can be a quite hideous job. Especially in the environment where we have many changes during the week, it can be difficult to keep track on everything.

Budget tracking is a great way to see if you are within your bounds and to see which employees are going over the planned budget.

I like how you can assign tasks and track progress of the tasks. It's good for task management in an organization.

It has been a good experience. There have been a few hiccups along the way but the Float support team has helped us through each time.

The pricing model is also great, as it's per resource, so you can have as many (free) account as you like with access to see the schedules still.

It is a great helper as it helps you in  better visualizing that which about which will take how much time.

I really like the clean usability friendly interface and since I am a fan of numbers I enjoy looking at the reports section.

It is an excellent tool that helps you with scheduling your work and resources. This enables you to make better plannings.

Hiding or collapsing resources that are not available at the moment.

This is a problem, because managing the schedule/resources is already complicated - Float should make it more streamlined, not add steps.

I have only great impresions about Float. It's an amazing tool for time management on my projects.

Overall, our business experience with Float has been a bit disappointing.

Float helps me in my daily work assigning tasks to my company's designers and it works for good. Sometimes I find it too simple and want something like a pro version.

I get very disoriented scroll in two dimensions through the enormous grid, it can be confusing search through such a large spread of information.

The missing sum function in the daily planning is annoying. Especially with many parallel running projects the schedule view can become confusing.

It’s the best professional level software for any office or school. Very reliable and super user friendly.

I grew up with this software, it was taught to me at school and I thought it was the only way to do things. I was in love with Microsoft 365, its useful, accessible and easy to use tools.

I love that the programs integrate seamlessly and can store files online in the SharePoint platform for ease of use when sharing documents for collaboration.

It's very easy to use and the fact that you are able to not only switch between them very quickly and seamlessly, but the fact that they integrate with one another is amazing.

Overall experience is great start from installing to using and updating yearly in the organisation. It just takes care of its own when it comes to updating which is great.

It is terrible on mobile or even if you just have the admin panel taking up half of your screen. Can be frustrating to work with.

The overall suite is nice to collaborate with fellow employees on specifically Microsoft Teams is amazing for collaboration.

My overall experience is good  I would recommend this program to everyone. I have had a positive experience  with this program.

If I have no internet connection then I an not able to access anything which can be frustrating if I am out somewhere with no connection.

My experience with Microsoft 365 has been great. I really like using the software because it helps me with business letters and eeseach.

It's nice to have a one-stop-shop for all of your needs. That makes it super helpful because it works across platforms.

Non profit pricing is excellent. Love the Office 365 Exchange much better than on-site.

Customer Service is included in the cos,  I have had to call them a couple of times and have been taken care of by a real person and they have resolved whatever issue I was having.

Everything you love about the disk version of Microsoft but in the cloud. Super easy to use, super easy to share - and you can plugin in Grammarly.

I like some of the apps that you can integrate with the system. They are superior and more advanced.

There are many things that I love about this program. The price point is fantastic, especially considering all the resources you get for a small monthly fee.

It's super easy to setup for my employees. I get the peace of mind they are using the best.

And all includen in the same plan. I use it in my work space and its amazing, the flexibility and the integration is amazing.

I like the ease of use of Office 365. It is a great value for the money and helps me keep all of my business information easily accessible.

The auto quarantining is a bit aggressive and sometimes has false positives. As an admin I can release them so no email is lost, but still a bit annoying.

I love that they offer Office 365 for free to use, and I love the ease of most of their apps, such as Microsoft Word, and a few other docs.

Doing the same search query on desktop vs. browser will consistently return different results, which is particularly frustrating. The calendaring system has also gotten worse over the years.

The overall experience has been wonderful. Even the customer support was a pleasant surprise, compared to others.

It was a godsend to have 365 in place, because I was able to move my business out of the office as needed during the more challenging springtime, and now have the option to work from home as desired.

The microsoft suite is amazing because it is compatible with pretty much everything now. Making documents is great because it has review things where you can send things to other people.

Microsoft Support is horrible and it takes an incredibly long time to get through to them if you have a problem.

Overall Microsoft 365 is an amazing product with great features and wonderful customer service.

The customer service staff is amazing and well trained. My experience with Office 365 has been amazing and I will continue using this product.

It’s been a great product and I like having mag programs to get various jobs done. Price point is good and quality is great.

The worst thing would be that its hard to recover lost excel documents as they don't show in recent workbooks.

I love that this program is very easy to use and has lots of functionality. I also love that there is a place to find answers when necessary.

Great suite of products. With Excel, Word, and Outlook being at the forefront of the great softwares that are part of office 365.

Ease of use and the ability to communicate and share your screen with coworkers. Great part of the Office 365 suite.
