"User-Friendly with Stellar Visual Planning"
5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I like how Resource Guru is very user-friendly and simple to use. I appreciate being able to see the entire calendar and the colour coding, which helps provide a quick visual in terms of how everything is looking. It really helps in managing my team's capacity and workload by creating a bigger picture for what everyone's working on weekly or monthly. I also find it very effective, as evidenced by my willingness to give it a perfect score of 10 for recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplified Classroom Management with Resource Guru"
5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

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.

"Efficient Scheduling with a User-Friendly Interface"
4/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I like Resource Guru for its easy-to-read format with options like week at a glance and month at a glance, which makes scheduling straightforward. The historical records feature is handy for checking past data. I also appreciate the emailing of schedules to users, including any changes. This functionality saves a lot of time compared to using external spreadsheets for tracking various forms of data. The initial setup of Resource Guru for my team was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The drag and drop feature is nice but it's very touchy and easy to move something you don't want to and not realize it. A pop-up message asking if you want to move the data to another location would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable Booking Tool, but Overtime Overrides and Mobile Experience Need Work"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Organized. Lots of options for bookings. Very customizable. Support is extremely fast at responding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Some overtime overrides aren't functional, but it makes sense as to why. Can't double book if time is specified. Mobile site isn't user friendly really. I wish there was an app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly, Great-Looking Platform for Quick Resource Availability Checks"
5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I love how user friendly RG is. It is very easy to use and easy to log in and check from a device. The platform looks really nice and its easy to determine avalibility of resources at a quick glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Sometimes difficult to scroll through a long list of resources as its a bit too easy to move bookings around. Perhaps having a "view only" option that can be toggled would be helpful, to prevent accidental moving/editing of bookings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Project Booking with Resource Guru"
5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

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.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

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.

"Intuitive Task Management with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I use Resource Guru for organizing and managing tasks at work, and I like that it's easy to use and read. It helps with clearer communication between me and seniors for assigning tasks and allows me to see everyone's capacity. I value the feature for adding and editing information. The initial setup was fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It's tricky to edit bookings in blocks, covering multiple days. I have to split and edit them one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
