Resource Guru Recensioner

Simple and very easy to use resource scheduling\tracking app.

Kommentarer: Resource Guru is a great resource scheduling application for a simple use cases. It does what it promises perfectly. The UI is very friendly and pleasant - make for a great user experience. I used it to track the tasks for my team for almost a year. I would have kept using it but the company mandated a different tracking system and I had to abandon it. I like that Resource Guru'a focus on their product and customer service. I also appreciated the slow introduction of new features. Overall, very pleasant and satisfactory experience with a great application.

Fördelar:

- Ease of use - Very pleasant UI - Flexibility

Nackdelar:

- Lack of features. The application does the simple scheduling\tracking perfectly though. - Copy\paste of resource tasks was not available at the time

Happy Project Manager

Kommentarer: The customer service has been great and adopting the tool among our team has been very smooth and easy!

Fördelar:

Easy to use, highly visual, quick to update.

Nackdelar:

The utilization report doesn't seem to reflect available billable hours when taking PTO/OOO out of the equation. This results in our utilization typically looking lower than it is in reality.

Glorified spreadsheet

Kommentarer: Causes more problems than it solves. We used to use a spreadsheet, it was much better than this.

Fördelar:

Nothing at all. It has no redeeming qualities.

Nackdelar:

Allows you to book time without tasks. When asked to change this was told couldn't because some companies want that function, ie it isn't an option as it should be. The drop downs are fiddle and make it easy to select a blank, but doesn't warn you. Can't toggle between scrolling list and typing to search without cl king out of area. You have a set number of hours per day you need to book but it doesn't highlight those that are short- you have to hover to see remaining time but that function doesn't work properly, resulting in multiple clicks to get it to trigger. Colour by project doesn't actually do it, I'm on 6 projects yet only see 2 colours. Can push to calendar but not pull- useless function as meetings are booked in calendar to allow invites, you want guru to pull that data in to autofill. Though it is web based it is impossible to use on a mobile. The popups are always off screen, making it impossible to use - mobile friendly websites have been around for a very long time, lazy to not have it here, particularly as would allow people who are on the road to log their time on he go. Not worth the hassle even if free.

Resourcing made easy!

Kommentarer: I've had a good experience, its helped to provide clarity on projects progress, staff work loads and billable vs non billable hours plus much more.

Fördelar:

This a great platform for agile planning and programming for my projects and team. Its quick to set up and hit the ground running. I really like the ability to be able to review the utilization stats on the projects and staff, then pull that information over into the timesheets. Many other platforms I've tried get way to bogged down in details, Resource Guru captures all the information you actually need to run your business smoothly.

Nackdelar:

None, I have been using this for close to 3 months now and I can't fault it.

Best Scheduling Tool

Fördelar:

Easy to use, organised, detailed, flexible, and thinks of all possible options to help with the efficiency of planning accurately across a small or large team.

Nackdelar:

The only thing we would rate negatively is that Resource Guru doesn't give you the option to tick off completed tasks.

Easy UI and a big time saver

Fördelar:

I like that I can see other colleagues schedules too as it means I can plan my time off and see who is on projects with me without having to go through others

Nackdelar:

Nothing! I love the filtering option in the schedule and the scheduling and calendar are the only features I tend to use and they're perfect.

Sherman Buildings Review

Kommentarer: I love Resource Guru - it has made a huge difference for our company and keeping track of our resources!

Fördelar:

Visually appealing, Ease of Use and affordability.

Nackdelar:

We did not have a way to see projects that may have been accidentally deleted. We ended up building a program that would track this. As of 2024, Resource Guru has made this programming change to their system. I'm excited to see how this will work.

It's easy, the training is great and it works!

You need to have the paid version to get the best but that is the same with most.

Fördelar:

The way of design and the details available is quite useful.

Nackdelar:

Easy to track meetings, trainings and projects!

Fördelar:

It's extremely easy to use and has tons of helpful features like organizing by client, organizing by team, putting peoples "specialties" and so much more!

Nackdelar:

Being able to attach files would be nice! This could be helpful when assigned a project or training to have materials you need handy. In the mean time, we are able to link an outside source for documents witch works just fine. So really no complaints.

The overall visual board to pull up during meetings is key for us at workload meetings.
