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.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

ResourceGuru is easy to use and can be prepared very quickly to include new team members as well as new customers projects. During years it was improved with more capabilities with a clear intention to improve usability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I think that a better integration with Outlook (bidirectional) would be a great improvement. Also some additional possibilities related to reports will be more than welcome as well as the possibility to organize resources visibility to managers into a big organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've been using ResourceGuru for many years now and Using it I was able to have a single source of truth when it comes understanding where people are supposed to be and have a clear situation about which space I have to allocate resources to new initiatives. It is a useful tool to discuss with internal counterparts about prioritization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scheduling UI is super intuitive and robust. I really like how easily I can drag out bookings for resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was built-in support for email notifications. Currently need to use webhooks to achieve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Making sure that resources aren't under or over booked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I really appreciate a system that I'm able to read, complete and use without having to google "how to" YouTube videos. To be honest, I'm sure there is a help function when you first login to Resource Guru, but you don't really need it. Once you're in you can update any calendar by simply clicking on to sync.....that's it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I disagree with the word dislike. I would reframe the question to; What would make Resource Guru even better? The only feature that I feel could improve Resource Guru would be if I could edit my own "time off" slots. It seems that once i have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working in a team of online trainers, coaches and online producers, the coordinator is able to instantly block agreed time slots. This is then automatically transferred to to my calendar once I have updated the information on the Resource guru website. The daily email is a good start to the day and a reminder to me to sync my calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to review Resource Guru :) I wanted to let you know that you can indeed edit your own time off, but you'll need sufficient permissions in order to do this. Permissions can be customised, so I'd recommend speaking with an Administrator in your account if you don't currently have the permissions you need.

I hope this helps! Please don't be a stranger if there's anything else we can do for you :)

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Resource Guru is super simple to navigate around, shows bookings clearly and provides an excellent forecast for weeks ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It would be handy to be able to see more people on screen at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Solving the problems of scheduling time for editors, operators and all team members. It's a huge benefit to be able to see the time for not only that week, but weeks ahead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there,

Thanks so much for sharing your review of Resource Guru! The number of resources you see on screen will depend on things like your screen resolution and how many bookings people have on individual days; the more bookings, the taller a resource's individual row becomes. However you can consolidate things a little by hiding your availability bars, and this will allow you to see more resources on screen at once. You can find out how to do this here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942098-using-the-availability-bar

I hope this helps, but if there's ever anything we can do to make life even easier, please just let us know :)

Thanks,

Kat

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

I have been using for a few years now and Resource Guru is a really good software with easy and friendly interface. Since it was updated it got even better. You can add clients and project and move things around very easily with drag and drop functionality. The look and feel and their calendar is extremely helpful and clear. With RG you can schedule people and easily manage annual leave, sick leave, and hours dedicated to each task, client or project. We never required any sort of training and the whole team was able to start using straightaway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It would be nice to have a Project view. To make it easier on the hours management on a project basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scheduling people and managing their hours spent on multiple projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Patricia

Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'm really pleased to say that a dedicated project view is very firmly on our roadmap :) We're actually working on a "group by" feature at the moment, which should also help you with this. Can I recommend that you signup to our newsletter in the footer of our homepage (www.resourceguruapp.com) if you haven't already - that way we can you updated on new features :)

Thanks again!

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your feedback!

I just wanted to let you know that a dedicated project view feature is actually currently being designed, but you can also use the project filter in the top right to reduce the visible resources to those that have been booked on a project (please see https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942088-filtering-resources). Also, as long as you have selected Color by project from the drop down menu at the top you should also be able to pick out the bookings that relate to a specific project.

I'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as there is any news on it!

If there's anything else we can do to help please just let us know.

Thanks,

Michelle

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Its compact, organised , user friendly and I love that it shows current capacity as well as when a user is overtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Some fields are a bit repetitive or redundant, I also would like to be able to add a new client in the same section where you make a new project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

I think establish what your business needs are as well as what your team / employees struggle with. Most companies struggle with overworking their team or possibly having employees or complain that they are overworked but their deliverables do not match. The beauty of RG is that figures and hours don't lie, this is an extremely organised programme which enables you to have a holistic view of the business and productivity at all times across all departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Capacity is a big one in our company, we like to ensure that we are not over working our staff and that also the business is getting a full productive day from its employees. The reports are very useful and we use them monthly in our operations meetings and make projections based off those reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback :) I wanted to let you know that you can also create projects and clients on the fly from within the Schedule - perhaps this could be a quicker option for you? You can find a walkthrough on this here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942064-creating-projects-and-clients

It would be great to know which fields you find a bit redundant; I'd love to share your feedback on this with the team here so we can consider it further. You can contact us on happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com. Thanks! Kat
