Resource Guru

Vorteile

It is a great resource management tool, with a user-friendly interface, It has a lot of powerful tools and is easy to learn and use. A big positive of this software is its capability to easily integrate with other tools. It helps to easily and remotely track and manage modules, projects and even workflows.

Nachteile

A few times, connectivity issues are being encountered while remote access. Also, customer support can be enhanced. Otherwise, it is a good tool to use.

Vorteile

I like that it doesn't try to be anything else than resource allocation, and that it does this very well. In a department with 25 people plus some 'machines', we manage to keep track on our activities very well, and distribute the load in time and across the resources as needed.

Nachteile

I find it very intuitive, both for the user who can view the bookings, and for the manager who tries to keep track on everything. As stated above, many tools try to embrace project management, time registration, etc. - but we are really interested in the resource allocation only.
If I should mention anything, it would be the request for slightly more flexible reporting options. However, the people behind Resource Guru are very responsive, so they will probably fix it before I am done with the review.

Vorteile

Resource Guru is quite effective in reasource management optimization.

Nachteile

Resource Guru can have a better infrastructure for customizable reports.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The ease of access. It is so reliable and easy to work with at any moment.

Nachteile

Nothing. The prompt updates and regular updates are amazing.

Vorteile

The app is very user friendly and a majority of my staff are able to login and run Resource Guru without any issues. It is a streamline software for project management across multiple projects and departments.

Nachteile

They actually just added what my con would be. The Milestone tool helps better manage project milestones. This is a tool that didn't exist before but was desperately needed. Thank you!

Vorteile

The graphics and visual interface. It is very easy to manage resources availability and billability rates, also quite like how easy it is to book and re-book events.

Nachteile

Reports on projects (how many hours sold versus booked)

The best thing was always its simplicity. Resource Guru made it extremely easy to view and find out your schedule for the upcoming day, week, and months.

Nachteile

Nothing too problematic with Resource Guru but it would be nice to be able to easy see what the different colours meant for tasks. A sort of legend would be nice

Vorteile

Nachteile

The thing I like least about resource guru is this lengthy survey and review, the tool itself is great

Layout, Visual clarity of projects & the ability to see what everyone is up to is a massive help

Nachteile

TBH, not much, even the 'mail notifications (for the day) are more refined now !

Vorteile

Easy to use, highly visual, quick to update.

Nachteile

The utilization report doesn't seem to reflect available billable hours when taking PTO/OOO out of the equation. This results in our utilization typically looking lower than it is in reality.

Fore forecasting tools offered by Resource Guru are fantastic. It is easy to use and it is very interactive.

This a great platform for agile planning and programming for my projects and team. Its quick to set up and hit the ground running.
