Resource Guru

Vorteile

I like they developed a very good application which is easy to use and have the accuracy in it.

Nachteile

Nothing overall it's good.if developer can add some colour in content so it's looks better.

Vorteile

It's easy to use and manage all information required. Nice UI and improved UX is one of the key things I get attracted to when using the system.

Nachteile

I can't think of cons as of now since I'm loving the app.

Vorteile

The software was very easy to implement and even easier to use. The reports page provides a great, visual presentation of our creative department's utilization for the week. Until we started using the software, we were unable to track enough data to inform a successful creative resource meeting. Now we have visibility into the upcoming weeks which has significantly decreased our dependence on freelance talent.

Nachteile

The waiting list and overtime feature can be a little confusing. The hours don't get added to resource bookings and increase the utilization percentage. It would be great if the overtime hours pushed the utilization percentage over 100% to clearly highlight over-allocated resources.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to see a view of availability across multiple team members at the same time. I love the ability to color coordinate projects for an easy view of some major projects across multiple team members. Also easy to allow others permission to log in and see their utilization as well.

Nachteile

I have to manually enter in recurring meetings. I have not mastered an easy way to automate getting our clients and projects into the tool. would be good to multi select projects as well to get them closed or cleaned up.

Vorteile

We like the easy to use approach and the overall visibility
Very important is the cooperation and management of a single resource with multiple people. To reduce the risk of double bookings or gaps...

Nachteile

There is very little what is not optimal. We are happy that overtime is possible now... but maybe a bit more reporting functionality would be good.. not as "extracts" more online!

and if I could whish for something, the integration into JIRA is something we would need!

Vorteile

Colour coding for different projects, profile pics to remind me of who is who, and I like that every day it shifts along the schedule so that today is to the far left.

Nachteile

Need more colours as we have many projects, also icons or stickers would be helpful. If we could upload a project logo that would be ideal.

Vorteile

The product is Easy to use and frendly. The display is clear.

Nachteile

The working hours for each resources seam to be link whit overtime and reports wich i dont need

Vorteile

Very easy to add projects and shift them around, all members can adjust things on the calendar like vacation/projects/holidays/etc

Nachteile

Sometimes hit split when I mean to look at an item. Would like it to be easier to change booker or show project manager and engineer in one booking so engineers can see which manager they're working with

Vorteile

Scheduling, keeping up with my hours on the projects.

Nachteile

When you receive an email notification, you need to click on the background in order to be directed to your profile, that seems contra intuitive.

Vorteile

The user interface is excellent, and I can easily see projects I have been booked on with the number of hours I am supposed to work on them. Again I can easily see who has gone on leave and those who are about to leave. I can also see projects my colleagues are working on and how long they have been booked. I also get email notifications daily concerning my bookings on projects.

Nachteile

I really enjoy using resource guru, and I don't have any complaints about it. The team should look at adding more useful features that might increase its importance and efficiency

Vorteile

All of the features that RG offers are in newer more UX focused tools. There's nothing in RG that really stands out about what I like the most.

Nachteile

The filtering, when I want to search for one of my projects, I only want to see that project. I don't want to see every person who's ever worked on that project in a list and show everything that they're working on at the moment.

Vorteile

visualizes and allows for future planning of time. Allows business wide visibility. Has made my life far easier with it. Is always part of the daily routine.

Nachteile

Lack of clear links to other platforms like outlook, google suite or trello. This would be the killer addition but as is it works really cleanly.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and I can readily associate hours worked with a particular project as well as drag hours around on the schedule across different days. It easily allows multiple users and multiple projects.

Nachteile

We are not quite using it as intended. Some of our team are using it to document hours worked, rather than book hours to be worked. Hence, we don't need reminders about overbooking. These are a little irritating.

Vorteile

I like the colours, I like the visuals - it all makes sense. and really, it feels very satisfying to see the results of your tasks laid out against all your colleagues'.

Nachteile

I found it quite hard to log in, for some reason. I'm not sure about the cultural appropriation, either. But whatever, a huge plethora of contemporary tech businesses are conflating spirituality with productivity, so you're not alone there.

Vorteile

its easy to use , fantastic day by day tool , cant live without this now . makes you planning lot easier to manage

Nachteile

i thing need a bit of work on the settings to set up people , could me more simple but once you understand becomes a bit easier

Vorteile

-East to use
-Visually pleasant
-Free
-Versatile (eg. can add time off and shows in different colour)

Nachteile

I did not really find any cons with Resource Guru. However, perhaps it would be nice to have an option of integrating with Microsoft Outlook?

Vorteile

The most impactful feature is the showing of what i have been staffed for. What are my task or project fpr this week.

Nachteile

Sometimes I find it hard to get my way back to the todays date.

Vorteile

different ressource views from project- or client-based, to skill-centered and everything in between

Nachteile

inform user, if you book slots in tentative mode and your "saved" ressources are then being booked by someone

Vorteile

- Extremely simple (no training required)
- Easily accessible
- Resource management done right

Nachteile

- Gets costly after a few users
- Built-in reporting isn't great
- Minor UI/UX glitches that are annoying until you get used to them

Vorteile

I love that it is color coordinated and easy to digest with just one look

Nachteile

I wish the customer support was more responsive in a timely manner

Vorteile

I really like this software... so easy to manage my hours for multiple clients on my daily tasks.

Nachteile

Nothing. It really works well for what I use it for.

Vorteile

Ease of use and highly intuitive without needing any training.

Nachteile

Even I can use it, without any training. Hence, very friendly to use.

Vorteile

Resource Guru is easy to use, no training is required and it is very intuitive. Allows clear visibility of resource allocation.

Nachteile

Daily snapshots is great however when you want to navigate to view months it is not as user friendly.

Vorteile

Ease of use, quick access, mobile features and user interface

Nachteile

None really, it helped my team to be more efficient and response times to requests have shortened

Vorteile

I like how easy the software is understand and use, not just for me, but for my team as well.

Nachteile

I don't enjoy the fact that I can't copy job's/projects within my team. Although I can move projects between team members, I still can copy bookings.

Vorteile

It is well laid out and provides an excellent visual representation of staff, availability and what they are assigned to do for the near future. Very rapid data entry and manipulation. Easily accessed across all departments and by staff who need it. Web browser format is super convenient.

Nachteile

Tasks for individuals across weeks may not be displayed in the same order vertically, can be confusing.

Vorteile

That the software is easy to use, identify and move around as things often change quickly.

Nachteile

Can look quite messy when you're looking at loads of users.

Vorteile

the ease of use and the flexible reservations method

Nachteile

Unability to reserve a resource periodically (every friday)

Vorteile

The software is simple and uncomplicated and therefore easy to comprehend

Nachteile

I haven't really used the software in extensive depth and therefore difficult the provide a list of cons. Probably the ability to create one off custom workable time instead of adjusting common work schedule but this could be lack of user knowledge.

Vorteile

Its so easy to use
All my team members have access to their schedule any time they want

Nachteile

I feel its a bit slow especially when saving information

Vorteile

Easy software to use & update. Great way to see upcoming jobs & labour required.

Nachteile

I believe the platform for our requirements meets our needs at this current stage .

Vorteile

Once you learn it it's easy to use, quite untuitive

Nachteile

it looks scary comlicated, but it's friendly once you get used to it.

Vorteile

Keep the jobs on track and help me to have a better view from other projects

Nachteile

It's a bit confusing the transition between the normal software and the Beta one.
