Resource Guru Reviews

Resource Guru Gets the Job Done Easily

Comments: Easy way to keep track of resources for scheduling, planning and project purposes

Pros:

Ease of use and simple , effective visualization of scheduled resources

Cons:

Needed to integrate with Harvest to get full picture of time actually spent on projects rather than just time scheduled

Highly recommended

Comments: I have used Resource Guru for almost a decade now and I would be at pains to switch to anything else.

Pros:

Easy to use and intuitive functionality. Unlike a lot of other management software, with Resource Guru it's clear and obvious how to use it and it's functionality and features. It's so simple yet usefull that all members of the team can pick it up quickly and use it daily.

Cons:

It only really does one function. But it does that function very well instead of spreading itself to thin.

Alternatives Considered: Jira, Slack, monday.com and Asana

Reasons for Switching to Resource Guru: Easy to use and intuitive functionality. Not a lot of Project Management tools include scheduling functionality, and those that do don't do it as well as Resource Guru.

An adequate calendaring tool for resource management

Comments: We use Resource Guru to manage the utilization/booking of our research facilities. This works well for us as we have a small number of facilities we manage. I cannot offer a recommendation for/against this project for large numbers of resources (>10) as it might be cumbersome at that point. For our limited resource pool, it works well.

Pros:

The interface is simple to use and understand with respect to resource availability and conflict. It serves its purpose well.

Cons:

New feature rollout is buggy. When I switched between the "beta" ("new") experience back to the classic, I received a nagging email from the company telling me I had recently logged in using the "classic" experience and it would eventually be discontinued, and that I should try out the "new" experience. This product is basically a shared calendar, and while it offers reporting that is a hybrid somewhere between Microsoft Outlook and Project, it's a bit too pushy with respect to new features.

Great and intuitive hassle free tool for planning and time tracking

Comments: Great, easy, intuitive, hassle free, has got all you need.

Pros:

Resource Guru is a very easy to use and intuitive tool, nice UI, easy filtering, able to see both planned and actually spent time on projects with easy reports on billable utilization. Everything a small to mid, even greater teams in number need for a hassle free planning and reporting on projects.

Cons:

nothing so far. The tool has delivered up to team's expectations so far.

Happy to recommend Resource Guru...

Comments: Very positive experience, the software is updated regularly and I feel Resource Guru staff listen to feedback.

Pros:

It's quick to learn and has powerful tools, is simple to use and integrated quickly into our existing work practices. All our staff are adept at using it and it helps us keep on top of resources, projects and workflow. It is good value for money.

Happy Experience with Resource Guru

Comments: I am using Resource Guru for time reporting, it's easy to use and process of extracting the time report is quite easier.

Time report with Project classification help us to identify which resource is working on which Item , which enables more transparency.

Nothing as such, since I started using it recently.

Easy UI and a big time saver

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.

Does what it says on the can!

Pros:

Provides a good overall resourcing tool allowing us to manage the teams

Cons:

Limited reporting - needs to have a much more comprehensive set of reports

Happy User

Comments: Overall, I am very happy. We used the tool for planning at my last employer. I recommended the tool to my new employer and introduced it.

Pros:

Easy to use, everyone has access, good overview

Cons:

Limited options for handling (for example no return button)

Useful for resource allocation

Pros:

You can block out your time for projects and it shows your capacity level, so you don't get assigned more tasks. We can also use it to allocate platforms and licenses for software, so that you know what takes priority.

Cons:

Synching calendar to it can be a bit fiddly and end up with overall tasks cluttering up your calendar.

My daily bible for work

Comments: I honestly rely on this stuff every day and would struggle to get by without it. Overall, I've had a great experience using Guru, and I'd absolutely tell a friend about it.

Pros:

I appreciate how this tool can be so well-structured. As our account had so many updates, we used this tool to stay informed. I admire how you can save your favorite cards to the favorites page and quickly search for what you need by using a keyword to respond to members' concerns.

Cons:

Nothing about the product bothered me, and since I last used it, I'm confident that it has improved even more.
