## Resource Guru Reviews
  ### 1. Makes forecasting a breeze!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

RG helps me during start of month forecast cycles.  I am able to forecast financials and team utilization among 65+ active projects over the coming ~2 years in a matter of hours instead of days.  Having a team that travels a lot, it also helps with visisbility to other departments to know where and when team members will be out of office.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

It would be nice if there was a less expensive option for "view only" rights.  Anyone who wants access for visibility has to have memebership as well, even if they do not want to actively schedule resources or themselves.

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

The ability to export the data into easiliy modifyable pivot tables is a huge help.  I get a breakdown monthly of expected labor per person, per month, per project.

  ### 2. Guru has been a big help in staying focused.

Integration with Google Calendar could be better. The hours in the calendar should be accounted for in hours available to work

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

Resource Guru allows my team to see what they have on for the day every morning. This has allowed us to do stand-ups every second day instead of everyday.

I wanted to share this workaround that might be helpful to share attachments with your bookings: all links you enter are clickable, so I'd recommend hosting your documents somewhere online like Google Drive, then add the direct link for the document in the Details section of your booking. Anyone with sufficient access to that document will be able access it with one click from the booking.

Hope this helps!
Thanks again,
Dana

  ### 10. Support Desk Lead Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

Easy sheduling. very user friendly.
Can o re updates easily.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

I like if there is a feature for resources to can go and update when they become available(meaning if their scheduled task cannot proceed due to another reason and suddenly they have time on hand). If they can go and update it on Resource Guru quickly with a status or something and then there should be view/filter available to check who has time on hand today. I am support lead and allocating support tickets to resources when support tickets come in. Sometimes resources have work scheduled already for Projects but sometime waiting for feedback from others or cannot continue those Project work and they have time on hand. So if  I can check those availability easily that would be great.

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

Solving Problem - finding what other resources are doing
Benefits - Easy to check others schedule and schedule work for others

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi there 

Thanks for taking the time to share your review of Resource Guru :) 

Your team might want to consider removing/adjusting existing bookings in the Schedule if they don't appear to be working on it, to free up their time for potential work.
We do have plans on working on a feature that would allow you to filter the schedule itself based on resource availability. I’d like to invite you to share your feedback via our Product Portal and tell us how important this feature is to you: https://portal.productboard.com/u3wdgytlr9dhqrdkzqf46ybi/c/83-suggest-people-resources-based-on-skills-and-availability 

Thanks,
Dana

Everything on one platform 
Easy to access

  ### 12. Resource Guru so good I use it beyond business reasons

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

I think it's just so clearly laid out and the visual nature of it makes so much sense for my brain to have a chronological timeline I can just reference and know what's happening when. The ability to color code activities and projects is incredibly helpful also and makes it easy to tell at a glance what I've been assigned to. I use it almost daily, and even when my friends ask me when we can meet next I tend to open up RG because it's so much simpler to understand and use than other calendar software I have on my phone!

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

Sometimes when there's lots of people in your company it can be a bit tricky scrolling up and down to compare your timeline to someone elses, but not really a major problem.

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

It solves things like knowing which of my colleagues are busy and when, and what they are working on, and it solves the need of knowing when I am next free and can be booked for projects at work. It helps to keep track of project timelines especially for longer projects.

  ### 13. Great package, easy to set up & amend

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2024

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

Easy to populate diary, add new staff & allocate skills etc.
Quick response from customer support.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

It would really be useful to us if we were able to specify authorised tasks for individuals, so that tasks can not be allocted to un-appropriate staff.

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

Quick & easy to alocate work to staff and ensure that projects are resoursed. 
Easy to see if staff utilisation levels are not as high as required.

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi there, 

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review! 

It sounds like our Approval Workflow feature might be useful for you. This allows you to assign booking approvers for your resources, ensuring that any bookings made for them require approval before being finalized. You can learn more about this feature here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/1956290

Hope this helps! 🙂 Thanks again for your feedback!

  ### 19. Efficient and reliable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2024

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

Guru saves a lot of time in the middle of a busy working day!

Occasionally the size of the fonts make it hard to differentiate colleagues calendars.

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review! 😊

If you’re looking for a larger font size for easier readability, you might find it helpful to zoom in within the Schedule. You can learn more about how to do this here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/1958274 Additionally, you can also adjust your browser’s zoom settings for even greater magnification if needed.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2024

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

How you can efficiently see in one glance the state of what's on your resource's plates and easily drag / drop and move about items. I use it hourly let alone daily, it has helped with both immediate detailed short term planning and long-term pipeline planning to see where the gaps are.
Big fan of the use of colours and how you can colour code the system by task type or client, completely custom to how you want it to work.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

That you can't reorder your team, I have implemented a numbering system so that it isn't by the default alphabetical order.

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

Allow an easy overview to manage demand and supply, allowing us to know when the gaps are available to book next projects in with the correct resource.

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi there

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Resource Guru! :) 

That’s correct, at the moment using numbers is the best way to reorder your team. Although I’m pleased to share that we’re considering making it  easier to re-order people in the future: we welcome you to visit our Product Portal and let us know how important this enhancement is to you - this helps as we prioritise what gets worked on next: https://portal.productboard.com/u3wdgytlr9dhqrdkzqf46ybi/c/48-more-flexibility-with-how-people-resources-are-sorted-in-the-schedule

**Reviewed by:** Keith H. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

The best aspect of Resource Guru is how easy it is to see where your resources are allocated at any time, and instantly see resource availability.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

It would be beneficial to our use to have email notifications sent to resources for all actions, from when a job is booked, to any edits, to any deletion.

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

As our resources grew with the company expanding, we needed a tool for managing our resource capacity effectively. Resource Guru provided this. Guru allowed much clearer, and more efficient, control of our resources.

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi Keith

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review here :) 

Each team member can opt-in to receive email notifications eg. when new bookings and time off events are created for them or when their existing bookings and time off events are updated (whether they are the booker, or the person who has been booked). Please feel free to share the following link with your team to manage their email notification preferences: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942114-managing-email-notifications

I hope this helps, but please let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you at any point. We’re always happy to help!

Resource Guru offers robust clash management features, helping us make sure bookings across the project.

**Official Response from Resource Guru:**

> Hi Galina, 

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review :) 

Just to give you a bit of insight on this - people in Resource Guru can be invited into multiple accounts and that's why we give ownership of their profile to them. The Resource Guru ID is how someone's name/email address/picture appears in all of the accounts they're part of so this is something only they have control over.

Hope this clarifies things!
Thanks again,
Dana

  ### 40. Really simple, fast and has lots of integrations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven H. | Studio Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2024

  ### 41. Simple, clear and effortless

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark W. | Brand Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2023

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

Simple to use, low learning curve and quick to get setup.  Effortless to reschedule projects and see where project items are in your daily, weekly etc schedule.  Projects often take longer or you need to break off onto something else, so the ability to split an existing schedule item so that you can move x hours to the next day or week is brilliant.  Dashboard gives you a great overview of what's needed that day and coming up in the future.  Managing your workload makes your day busy enough adding to this scheduling and project management can make this even more time-consuming, but Resource Guru makes time and project management simple and effortless.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

It would be great to colour-code clients/projects by brand colour rather than the limited colour options currently available.  To be able to mark items as done would be fantastic and have a visible list of items done/complete, you spend time adding all the actionalble projects but your then left a little lost as to what has actually been done.  Yes you can move items forward to complete in the future but what about past items that you've done, when reporting to my manager I would like to be able to easily say x and x done from some kind of report in Resource Guru.

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

Just being able to manage time and workload, with managers being able to see what I'm working on at any given time.

  ### 42. a good group calendar and resource management tool for small departments or companies

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

Easy to navigate, filter, and the reporting is good. Being able to export to excel and do your analysis nice. Linking between outlook and RG is a good feature as well. Fun colors. Easy to use and manage.

**What do you dislike about Resource Guru?**

Its more of a functional high level calander. Having more project management features within the tool would be nice. LIke tracking actual to budget time or project status.

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

Helps see total resources in one spot and create a schedule for teammembers to see what they are scheduled on. Easy to navigate and creates a single place for schedules.

  ### 43. Great piece of SW at very reasonable price point.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vasilis L. | Staff Applications Scientist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2023

**What do you like best about Resource Guru?**

Flexibility, user interface and user experience must ahve been top priorities with the development of the SW and it shows.

Very intuitive and easy to use. All users were fluent after a 15 min training and rpesentation of the features. Did not have opportunity to test the more advanced features (reports etc) but if they are anything like the rest of the package I have no doubt they will be also be g4reat and easy to use.

A couple of questions we had intialy were answered at lightning speed by the support team.

Being able to assign regional holiday calendar to different resources would be a very welcome upgrade, especially for internationl organisations with people based in different countries.
