Resource Guru Reviews & Product Details

I love how Resource Guru simplifies the scheduling process, making it incredibly easy and efficient to manage our training resource classrooms and instructors. The ability to transfer class assignments seamlessly from one instructor to another is a standout feature that I find very useful, especially when dealing with unforeseen circumstances like instructor absences due to sickness or jury duty. Resource Guru helps prevent double booking of classrooms and provides a clear, at-a-glance view of instructors' schedules, which enhances our organizational workflow significantly. Additionally, once I understood the resource assignment, the setup was straightforward and user-friendly, adding to the overall positive experience with the software.

I dislike that there is no option to select jury duty when marking time off in Resource Guru. Additionally, when scheduling a class, it doesn't show as a full day, but instead displays as 0.9 of a day, which complicates reporting. It would be more convenient to have an option to schedule the 'day' regardless of the exact hours, supporting full-day or half-day settings, since differences in scheduling hours (like 7 hours versus 8 hours) cause issues when running reports.

I love how Resource Guru has simplified our project management process by allowing us to efficiently book multiple projects across several weeks with ease. The intuitive interface makes it incredibly simple to move projects around between team members, providing a clear, general overview of our content creation. The setup was effortless, with features like color coding and drag-and-drop functionality enhancing its simplicity and making it exactly what I needed. The software has solved many booking issues; I can easily see how long a resource is booked and make necessary adjustments, which wasn't possible with Excel. This change has improved productivity by allowing us to move projects fluidly and helps the team visualize their workload months in advance. It's fantastic that I can book projects with various team members and manage schedules effectively. The ability to account for ad hoc events like holidays ensures we won't overschedule, providing a detailed insight into the team's availability. Overall, the forward planning capabilities make Resource Guru invaluable for our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it problematic that some features are tied to specific packages, leading to a lack of customization that would be beneficial. For instance, the required presence of a 'billable' column or 'project code' field in the projects and clients area is unnecessary for my workflow, as none of my work is billable and we don't use project codes. This makes the interface more cluttered than it needs to be, and it would be preferable if I could remove features that are irrelevant to my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to use. The calendar view is really clear, so I can quickly see who’s available and when. Drag-and-drop scheduling makes changes super fast and it helps me keep track of everyone without confusion. It definitely saves time and makes planning less stressful.

Sometimes I wish there were more detailed reports and more options to connect with other tools we use. The mobile version also feels a bit limited when I need to check things on the go. But overall, it works really well and keeps things simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's intuitive interface allows who is booking/tweaking/updating as well as team who is seeing it to quickly understand what is needed and when Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, my agency is using it solely for booking and allocating the work stream, and so far, I haven't found anything to dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Resource Guru is its straightforward and clear design. The intuitive interface allows me to quickly view team availability and schedule resources efficiently, avoiding any risk of overbooking. I also value how swiftly adjustments can be made—the platform is both flexible and responsive, which is perfect for a fast-paced work environment. Additionally, the daily email summaries are a thoughtful feature, keeping everyone on the same page without the need for frequent check-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I find less appealing about Resource Guru is its somewhat limited capabilities in reporting and analytics. Although the platform excels at scheduling and providing visibility, I find that generating detailed insights or creating custom reports on resource usage or project allocation can be cumbersome. Having more flexible and robust reporting tools integrated into the system would be especially beneficial for larger teams or projects with greater complexity.

It helps keep track of the work in the system and allows a better flow of work distribution. It is user-friendly and has enabled our organization to manage its resources efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, it has been good for us; I haven't encountered any dislikes so far so good. It is suitable for our organization because it is large, and Guru helps track every resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is nice to have all of our employee and installer schedules in one place. Being able to access that information from anywhere and at anytime has been very helpful to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only part I don't care for is having to put in certain hours as a set schedule for an individual and it showing as outside of their normal day if the event as to extend past that. I'm sure for some businesses this is a great alert, it's just not something that benefits the way we operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It also gives you an overview of available company human capital at a specific time. Like who is on leave. That helps to plan accordingly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really at this point. Am a happy user Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I went from doing my best in managing scheduling in an Excel spreadsheet to using Resource Guru. What a huge improvement. It makes scheduling, and especially modifying the schedule an easy task. I refer to it at least 50 times per day. I recommend this to anyone tasked with keeping up a schedule for more than a couple of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing I 'dislike' about it, but a couple of improvements that I would love would be:

1) The ability to undo a move or other action.

2) The ability to randomly change the color of a particular booking, rather than just by client.

Otherwise, there's nothing I would change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simplicity, easy to use, and easy to find what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any, other than sometimes when I'm scrolling backwards to see my past schedule, it sometimes does not load and takes a few seconds for my schedule to appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
