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?

Resource Guru is fast and flexible and has almost all the mechanics required for planning team utilisation. Note that this is not a task tracker (but that's a good thing). It's super easy and quick to create, move or duplicate bookings. Recurring bookings

The tool is also being developed actively and receives frequent improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It isn't perfect. For our very complex team scheduling process, we're missing features like linking multiple bookings and moving them together.

Still, other tools are missing other more critical features or aren't as easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Test it thoroughly. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're using Resource Guru to plan bookings for our 70+ size team. It's providing an excellent overview of who's doing what and everyone's availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thanks for leaving your review of Resource Guru! Are you looking for a dependencies feature, which would let you move associated bookings if, for example, a project was delayed or got moved forward? If so, I'm pleased to say this functionality is on our roadmap for the future, so I'd encourage you to signup to the newsletter in the footer of our homepage (https://resourceguruapp.com/) if you haven't already - that way we can keep you in the loop on this and other new features.

Or perhaps you mean that you'd like to book multiple resources at once (similar to how you can schedule time off for multiple resources), and have any changes to a booking apply to all resources who have been booked for it? If that's what you're looking for I'm happy to say it's already being worked on, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!

I hope this helps, but please let me know if I've misunderstood what you're looking for, or if there's anything else I can do to help.

Thanks

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The scheduling and how helpful RG is with logging hours worked on a project correctly. We link BambooHR into our scheduling so it automatically picks up sick days and annual leave etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Have not found any downsides yet, it does everything it says on the tin! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping an accurate record of time spent on a project is always a problem, memory fades or we just don't remember. Now you can bill accurately for your time.

Performance increases because you can guage effort more accurately based on previous projects or tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I like the ease of managing several people's schedules in one view. It's easy to know exactly who's needed where in a quick glance and flexible enough for frequent changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The only downside I've experienced is viewing the schedule on a mobile device. The website will work, but it's challenging to see everything in a useful manner on a mobile device. An app might be a useful addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The logistics of managing a fluctuating number of team members across multiple projects occurring at the same time is always a challenge, resource guru helps us stay organized and keep everyone on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The interface is super user friendly. You can easily set up different project and mark it in different colour. It's very easy to list out the tasks for you or your team. Our team use it on a daily basis for the quick team catch-up and Resource Guru provides a quick overview of each team member's tasks for today so the account manager can assign the tasks based on people's availability. With this tool, we've managed to increase the team's efficiency greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Would be great if it can makes it easier to set a repeating task for a long period without doing the copy and paste one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Taks management for the whole team has never been so easy and effortless. You can mark your annual leave there as well so the account managers know not to assign any task on those days in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Resource Guru of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback :)

I just wanted to touch base on the point with creating repeat-bookings for a long time period - have you already checked out our repeat-booking feature we've released this year? This feature let's you quickly create bookings that repeat weekly, monthly or custom and for how long you need to. You can either choose to let it repeat for X amount of occurrences or on a specific date. Please find further details in our walkthrough here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/4601727-repeat-bookings

I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm always happy to help!

Thanks,

Michelle

Resource Guru gives us an easy way to plan our On-Site engagements while giving our consultants and managers a calendar that is easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Weslley

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I wanted to let you know that you can share filters with your team; you just need to apply the relevant filters and then copy and send the URL to your colleagues. By clicking on the link they will then be able to see exactly what you see, and they can even save this view as a saved filter so it's quick and easy for them to jump to it in future. You might find this walkthrough from our Help Centre handy: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942088-filtering-resources

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or feedback at any point, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks again :)

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

It's clear and very intuitive, it can be managed without training.

It's very simple the creation of a new project and the resource booking. The interface is superlative from a ux point of view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I didn't identified minus in the core system. I think that the communication by mail (DEM) could be improved, maybe adding a content curation, abstract from publications, snack contents and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now I can have a clear view of the booking of my resources and the statut of each project. It's very useful the possibility to add comments to the booking, especially for quick and dirty activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
