Resource Scheduling: Hub Planner excels in resource scheduling, providing a clear and intuitive interface for managing team assignments and project timelines.
Customizeable, and with a great support team in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find the reporting function a bit tricky. Templating would be nice so a specific report always looks the same (minimize number of clicks). I'd like a report that update the dates whenever I use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Hub planner has a below features which i like:
User-Friendly Interface: The clean and intuitive drag-and-drop scheduler makes it easy to allocate resources, adjust timelines, and visualize workloads at a glance.
Resource Management: It offers detailed resource allocation features, including capacity planning and real-time utilization tracking, helping teams avoid overbooking or underutilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mobile Functionality: The mobile experience could be improved; some users find it less intuitive compared to the desktop version, which may hinder on-the-go updates.
Speed Issues: Occasionally, users report lagging or slower performance when working with large datasets or managing a significant number of projects and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hub Planner features an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy to configure and integrate with our team. We rarely needed support during the onboarding process or afterward, but when we did, the Hub Planner team was quick to respond and resolve any issues. They are also very receptive to feature upgrade suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are few downsides to Hub Planner. However, a clearer "current day" identifier would be beneficial. An "undo" button has been a frequent topic of discussion, and we are still anticipating its implementation. Additionally, the ability to customise and download project and resource dashboards would be a valuable enhancement. Finally, a more user friendly mobile web interface or app for resources would be of significant benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ease of filling my weekly timesheet. Logging hours had always been a pain for us contractors but hubplanner made pain go away. Love the UI , no hussle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I hope i could see my past logged hours in much easier way , say like in a side panel or a weekly dropdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and the simplicity of understanding our workload. There are many team management programs out there, but most are overcomplicated and not simple enough to fit the purpouse. With Hubplanner you can easily see your workload split into hourly slots, and easily find any information needed to start the job.
Customer service and the tech team are great as well, every problem we encountered got solved in the matter of hours/days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be great to have teams integration, so people can see your workload (or the fact that you are busy) whilst booking you into meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easily you can set up the Scheduler and how it makes it clear the amount of hours you are expecting to spend on each project. It is also quite easy to use and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing I do wish hubplanner did implement is to allow you to move filled out timesheets to a different week. Several times I've accidentally filled out the wrong week and there is no easy way to just carry it over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pros:
- Super user-friendly and was not difficult to integrate into the workflow
- Amazing customer support staff
- Affordable compared to other platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cons - But all minor things!
- Wish the mobile platform gave admin users more visibility about the projects than just the team members.
- Does not integrate with our financial platform, but not the end of the world.
- Wish you could input/type out a date vs clicking the month until you get to the date when entering milestones/phases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like being able to see all of the resources available or the allocations for resources for any given week. It's really helpful to see what our agency is working on at any given time. It has the flexibility to denote time allocations in any given week and assign different colors to different types of tasks. I am looking at it daily so I can see how to support my team. We've tried to replace the tool, but haven't been able to replicate its capabilities. It's relatively easy to pick up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a Resource view and a Projects view. I wish I could dive into a project on a resource's line to then backwards view all of the resources also assigned to that project. That's not a possibility for me. It's tedious to be in meetings to toggle back and forth many clicks and scrolls to be able to go between the individual resource and the project and all of the resources on a project. It slows me down. I'd also like to be able to click into a project to drill into details - currently, we're not able to write details into entries, I'd like to be able to anticipate where we're going for travel projects. Lastly, not everyone has the same capabilities without admin privileges - I'd like to be able to filter for available resources in any given period; instead, I find myself scrolling up and down our board to see who is available in a manual capacity.

The mobile app isn't so reliable or useful. Our engineers need to look at the app every day due to changes in works, but they have to get their laptops out since the app doesn't always populate the jobs into the calendar. I'd really like it if the app could be made more reliable.
The timeline bar showing the current day is thin and needs to be more obvious. It progresses throughout the day which may be good for some, but for me, it would be better if the line was thicker or just the whole day down the grid was a big obvious bright colour Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Timesheets are fairly easy to complete, and the group schedule interface is decently intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No ability to create multiple resourcing scenarios, so we have to do that in a separate document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- good-looking UI, definitely nicer than Excel's
- being able to see what everyone's working on and having it on one single screen instead of scrolling
- ease of use,
- wealth of ways to set-up various projects and categorise them,
- flexibility of the scheduling tool,
- suitable for small and medium sized enterprises Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- can be overwhelming in the beginning
- out of the box might not have all features you'd want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
