Product Description

Resource Guru is scheduling and resource management software that helps busy teams keep projects on track.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Too often productivity tools are focused on tasks and not the people completing them. Resource Guru is the only resource management software that puts people first.

We give project managers and planners a clear understanding of who’s available and when – factoring in time off, individual working hours, competing workloads, external calendar events, and more. Our unique clash management system actively prevents double bookings and overtime, so employee workloads stay manageable, teams stay motivated, and projects stay on track. When the week is up, you can compare forecast hours to actuals using refreshingly quick-to-complete timesheets.

Resource Guru is also the only resource management software that lets you schedule people, equipment, and meeting rooms, all in one place. That means you can book everything you need for a project, in one simple drag-and-drop interface.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

ResourceGuru is simple but powerful, it works for project portfolio scheduling, resources scheduling and management, and resources capacity planning, it is easy to learn and use, and it gives a clear visual view of the use of resources classifying Projects, Clients and Booker by colors, it has booking and time off management (holidays, personal and sick leaves), it can manage Clients, Projects and Resources, it integrates automatically with calendars, it has powerful reports and it has good integrations through zapier so you can incorporate it in many business case scenarios avoiding the needed to do manual data entries and decreasing the probability of errors, it gets new features constantly, it shows very interesting and motivational phrases when you use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

All teams can see the bookings from each other (it would be great to be able to limit visibility depending on each resource or at least limit it to busy/available and not to show all the details), the price is very good but you have to pay an additional to get the reports and excel exporting capability, it has a trial but not a free plan, it could have an addon for Outlook/extension for GMAIL, it could add more customization options for example for new fields and information in booking, projects or customers, it doesn't have any translations for other languages except English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Resource Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

Project portfolio scheduling, resources scheduling and management, resources capacity planning, team booking and time of magament, team activities planning, managment reports of spend hours by Client and Projects, full overview of team time usage, automatic integration of google calendar events to register hours. There are a lot of benefits: each team member can manage its own bookings, managers can book activities for the team members, we can clearly view extra hours, it facilitates the reporting of the use of the resources and we can use ResourceGuru as the base for our Capacity Planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi David

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I wanted to share some info which you might find helpful.

We do support 2 way calendar syncing with Outlook/Google Calendar. You can learn more about this at: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/collections/38238-dashboard.

In regards to visibility in the schedule; if someone has View access they will be able to see all bookings for all resources (however any synced calendar events for other people remain private, and will just show as "Busy" without giving the details of the external event). That said, we do have plans to enhance the permissions in future, so I'll be sure to share your vote for this feature with the team.

It's currently possible to add custom fields for resources (https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942075-using-custom-fields-to-categorize-resources-by-skills-department-and-more) and we have firm plans to support custom fields for projects, clients and bookings in future too. We also have plans to offer Resource Guru in different languages. Can I suggest that you sign up for our newsletter in the footer of our homepage if you haven't already - http://resourceguruapp.com. That way we can keep you in the loop about new features and other news.

I hope this info is useful, and if you have any other questions or feedback please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Easy to use, flexible (for projects and resources), directly online, always readily available, easily readable + the sole tool that can be integrated internally with Smatsheet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

There are just 2 bad points, but fundamental => the absence of the "undo" button + the actions of moving an object or of copying it, are too similar and "sensitive", and this often leads to mistakes that without the undo button can't be easily overcome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Resource Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly the internal schedule of the team, it helps me to manage and coordinate all team activities, a perfect overview for the team + the sole tool that can be integrated internally with Smatsheet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
