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?

The schedule is used most by me and it is easy to look through to see which of my colleagues have certain projects. I also like the fact it is easily colour coded and the filter function is useful to quickly search for certain people or projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I don't make the bookings within resource guru so I just use it to see what projects I have been booked on. This means I don't really have any aspect of it that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a clear way of viewing everybody's schedule and knowing what you have coming up in the future to be able to have planned and prepped everything you need by the time the project is due. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You will never look back. So easy to use and excellent customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am co-ordinating a training service across different teams and locations. It seems crazy that we used to rely on a multi-colored spreadsheet that only one person could access at a time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Resource Guru of Resource Guru

Thanks for your feedback!

Customisation of the colour palette is firmly on our roadmap, but in the meantime if you have any programming capabilities at your end you can use our API to add custom colours. You can assign your own custom colours via API right now if you'd prefer. You can find all of the API documentation via our Developer Center here https://app.resourceguruapp.com/developers/apps

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

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Geethu

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I noticed that you suggested daily meetings have to be added manually, so it sounds like you're not aware of the repeat booking feature. You can create multiple day bookings by clicking and dragging over multiple days, and/or you can set bookings to repeat, as shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/4601727-repeat-bookings.

It may also be worth mentioning that a dark theme is something we're considering for the future, and we already have firm plans to support filtering within Projects. 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 helps, but 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?

I have been using for a few years now and since the updated it’s even better I would be lost with it!!

As the administrator one my objectives are monitoring and recording all types of leave and absences for the entire teams. With this system I can see all future workloads and helps team managers to collaborate, plan with staff holidays and other absences more effectively and with total confidence. It is particularly helpful for the project managers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly recommenced for any business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The system allows each user to see at a glance what they are working on daily and future bookings and synchs via Outlook calendar which is very beneficial for them to plan and change their workload by informing me to make any changes on their behalf, without this tracking system it wold prove more difficult.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

As a consulting firm, we have many different projects running at the same time with team members being planned on different concurrent projects. As our team size increased, we had more difficulty managing the memory- and Excel-based planning. Since we moved to Resource Guru, we manage to balance out the workload and have a much better overview of our employee's mid- to long-term capacity (1 to 3 months). Moreover, using the reporting capabilities, we are able to keep track of our budget vs planned resources.

Resource Guru is a very intuitive, flexible, easy to use and straight-forward tool. It is visually appealing and not at all time consuming to complete. Finally, it also has an interface to Outlook (layered behind your actual agenda), which helps guide your weekly planning and reminds people to update their Guru when they see there's a mismatch between their planned and actual work. It does not necessarily offer capabilities that are impossible in Outlook or your ERP / timesheet tool, but the ease of use and out-of-the-box reporting capabilities are a big convenience.

Customer service is very friendly and helpful. Moreover, they are continuously working on their product such as improving the speed and stability and developing new functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Possible downsides are the lack of integration from Outlook to Resource Guru, to automatically add events such as time off or holidays.

All other downsides we had when we started using Guru (more than a year ago) have been resolved in the meantime. Keep up the good work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Resource Guru has lots of benefits and helps keep communication and planning time efficiently in my team. The interface is well designed and it has other perks such as reminders when people are on holidays in the daily email update. Great to see what I am booked on and timings on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Would prefer the week view to be auto not day view. Not sure on daily emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Don't hesitate to go for it! I have already recommended to people! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I can schedule months out at a time. Nothing gets missed now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I wish I could limit the viewing of our field staff to just the upcoming week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Try it! The one month trial will tell you what you need. Additionally, there was a considerable amount of push back from my staff. Change is so hard! I took their input seriously and they, though reluctantly, gave RG a shot. It has changed operations management for the better! Everyone loves it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company is a low voltage systems integrator. Before Resource Guru, we were using a whiteboard that showed the current week plus 3 more. Many of our jobs last longer than that. Since we could only plan 3 weeks at a time, jobs were falling through the cracks often. Now, when we win a job, it is scheduled immediately. It is so easy to move them once they are on there. RG also gives a visual reminder of who is on what job so we can keep them on it through to completion. This was a struggle with multi-phase jobs.

RG is the best scheduling assistant I have found in my career in construction management. Additionally, the support at RG is prompt and very helpful. I would recommend to anyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
