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?

I really like the visual and easy way to make assignments with Resource Guru. You have a quick overview of the occupation of your resources and you can modify them in a simple, intuitive way, without complicated commands. Drag and drop is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It would be interesting to have a way of defining rules so that, when extending an allocation, weekends are not taken into account, while at the same time being able to assign non-working days annually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

It is an ideal application to take control, management and allocation of resources if your organization works with several projects in parallel, or you need partial allocation of time to develop various tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been able to manage the allocation of resources more efficiently and easily and to be able to foresee in the future the degree of occupation of each one of the people in my organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I wanted to let you know that you can indeed create bookings for specific times (i.e. 9am-11am), as well as durations (i.e. 2hrs). You can learn more about creating bookings just here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942065-creating-bookings

I hope this helps to clear up any confusion but please let us know if you still have any questions. We're always happy to help, and we can be reached on happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com.

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

Resource Guru (RG) provides a simple and intuitive UI for managing team schedules. It’s easy to set up and has simple web calendar integrations to allow the team to see their calendars elsewhere. It has a a flexible resource (people/cars/rooms etc) definition model, with custom attributes. The API framework provides good external access to complete most tasks. Flexible and simple reporting allows filtering on all the data within the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Whilst the resource framework is flexible, the client and project are fixed, with no custom attributes at all at the moment. A client for example is limited to name, note and colour and projects are similar. It would be ideal to be able to add custom fields at these two level as well, to allow for additional project related information to be shared (such as maximum amount amount of time to be allocated and warning if we go over that.

The reporting is flexible, but limited security, it’s all or nothing, whereas we want to limit an individuals access to certain information. We use the API’s to pull the relevant information out and restrict access externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With team in multiple regions and reporting across different groups, we were struggling to deliver an easy to manage team calendar. RG more than meets our needs for this, by providing a simple UI that the whole team have access to.

Our expectation is that this will save us around 1-2 days per week across our resource management team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I wanted to reach out because you mentioned you have stopped receiving email notifications when bookings are created. We don't actually send these notifications from Resource Guru - we send a daily schedule email outlining your bookings for the day ahead (https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942114-switching-off-daily-schedule-email-notifications), but we don't send an email notification every time a booking is created.

If you were receive a notification every time a booking was made, it sounds like your team may have used Zapier or a similar tool to trigger these notifications. I'd recommend reaching out to an administrator in the account, or your IT team, to see if this is something they can look into for you.

I hope this helps but please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with from our side!

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The visuals and the ux - it’s so easy to use and quickly see everyone’s availability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I wish there were more color options for each client/project. It would be great if new projects automatically picked up the color of the client it’s assigned to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Guru has helped us organize a very busy agency. We’ve been able to better spread work across resources and increase everyone’s utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us :)

I'm pleased to say that you can access more colours through the API if you have some programming capabilities at your end. If you use the API, you can use any colours you like. You can find all of the API documentation via our Developer Center here https://app.resourceguruapp.com/developers/

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

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

It's easy to filter, check, approve, or change among projects. The new schedule area is intuitive and improved with changes such as available time elastic or even the interface.

Beyond new features, report area is easy to use and fast to get an overview of any project / resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The dashboard area can improve as well, there is room for improvements such filters, alerts, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're a software house that needs to invoice customers by each 2 weeks. Guru is a great tool to keep an eye at the hours spent/remain. It solves our problem by giving visibility with time spent and customer reports.

Benefits that I've realized are: easy and intuitive to use, manage customers/projects in a quick way. Reports by resource/projects. View of time billed or non-billed, etc. It really turns possible to our operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
