Resource Guru Reviews & Product Details

I like that the staff have the opportunity to manage their own assignments in Resource Guru. Additionally, it is advantageous that the project manager can also manage everything. I have an organized overview of the project data on which an employee is working. It is particularly valuable for me to see which employees are deployed, how, and when. This helps us to identify and effectively utilize available capacities, which is crucial for a service company to ensure that project employees are deployed on a project for 8 hours every day.

I personally find it a bit too colorful, and in the schedule overview, I sometimes find it difficult to keep track because there is too much information at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Resource Guru in my company for scheduling the personnel's agenda and booking the projects they will be assigned to during the week. I personally appreciate the reports section, as it simplifies data collection by helping me obtain information about the bookings everyone had over the month. This feature is handy when creating reports for the company's directors to show the distribution of schedules each month. I find it valuable that it generates an automatic report that summarizes how much time our workers spent on each project, and it helps create an agenda that's easy to consult, simplifying the distribution of internal resources. While the initial setup was a bit confusing, we adapted quickly, and Resource Guru has made our operations easier and clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately I had some problems with the way the report has been downloading. Even though I ask for certain filters and conditions, the report does not comply with the specifications I asked for. This is sometimes frustrating since this is a functionality I use frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Resource Guru's ability to help me track my time on individual projects. It's very helpful for managing how much time I'm spending and allocating for different projects and tasks. I like being able to look at my time and schedule to see how my time is working, how often, and the number of hours we're spending on one project. This makes it valuable for scheduling with other teammates, as they can see what's on my schedule. If I have spare time, they know I'm available to work with them. Also, the initial setup was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be very helpful if Resource Guru had the ability to track things with my phone. I would like a tool where I can quickly timestamp things on and off, maybe a widget or something easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Resource Guru makes everything visible and reduces the need for constant communication about schedules. I can easily see my schedule and those of others, whether they are on the same site or elsewhere. It’s really helpful to know where everyone is without having to ask all the time. Plus, the ability to sort people based on different factors like their location, site, or manager is a great feature. The initial setup of Resource Guru was really nice and easy, making it a good tool that’s simple to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be helpful to have different color blocks for different projects. There's a lot of overlap on the main screen with the same colors for different job sites, so it's not easy to quickly see who is assigned to what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Resource Guru for its flexible visualization and the choice of colors. It allows me to add different clients and projects within the client, which helps make sure the right projects are allocated to the right consultant. The ability to visualize different levels of utilization within the team is helpful, and the flexible visualization is much better than what we used to do with Excel. The software is user-friendly once you get past the initial learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to add projects within the client and team members wasn't very clear initially, and I spent more time than I would have liked figuring it out. The workflow was not very clear, especially where to add team members. It took some time to get used to Resource Guru because there was a bit of a learning curve on how to insert projects, add clients, and manage billable and non-billable hours.

Full suite from resource-planning to project budget, to holiday/time-tracking (although latter we do not use) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough colors for projects, still missing feature for variable working days (e.g. if someone works 90% -> every second friday off) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows shared visibility, you can plan weeks/months in advance - also easy to edit as things change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes find it difficult to search by a client or a person - remembering how to filter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to view my team's schedule, especially with the helpful filtering options. It's also convenient that I can quickly look up anyone else I need. I really like being able to add my personal calendar without it impacting others. Finally, the integration with our sales platform works very well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would really appreciate having a monthly view that provides a quick overview of the entire month. Since I travel frequently for work, it would be very helpful to see at a glance which weeks I will be away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall stability and continuous smooth performance make daily planning very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind right now, keep up the good work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Resource Guru is well structured and easy to navigate. It's great that everything is in one place and can be split down by groups, allowing me to see the overall coverage and know who is doing what and when. As a new user, it was easy to set up my account and use on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the volume of information, the dashboard can be a bit busy and not easily read. Maybe the visuals could be larger to read and not so crammed together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
