"Simple and very easy to use resource scheduling\tracking app."
Comments: Resource Guru is a great resource scheduling application for a simple use cases. It does what it promises perfectly. The UI is very friendly and pleasant - make for a great user experience. I used it to track the tasks for my team for almost a year. I would have kept using it but the company mandated a different tracking system and I had to abandon it. I like that Resource Guru'a focus on their product and customer service. I also appreciated the slow introduction of new features. Overall, very pleasant and satisfactory experience with a great application.
Pros:
- Ease of use
- Very pleasant UI
- Flexibility
Cons:
- Lack of features. The application does the simple scheduling\tracking perfectly though.
- Copy\paste of resource tasks was not available at the time
Alternatives Considered: Hub Planner and Float
Reasons for Switching to Resource Guru: The balance of features, ease-of-use, UI and the price.

"Simple and to the point - Resource Gu does the one thing we need most, and it does it extremely well"
Comments: It has been a significant enhancement o our workflow. Our prior use of our CRM system to do what Resource Guru does was costing us at least a full day per week. Now we get it all done in an hour our tow.
Pros: Simplicity and focus. Resource Guru solves one problem, a problem that is key to our business - which is project resource assignment and scheduling. It does it quickly, and easily. Our prior tool required us to understand a complex CRM system with multiple interrelated functions. Resource Guru gives us the availability, assignment and schedule tools we need to deliver our projects without needless overhead.
Cons: I would like more user defined fields when we assign a resource to a project. We assign a project sales phase type to each project, and we assign an individual billing rate to each resource, which can be different for each day of the project. We currently do that using a strict taxonomy in the "Notes" field and them use an Excel macro to parse that information out for sales and revue forecasting. While this doe take a bit of management and programming magic - it is still orders fo magnitude less complicated that it was previously when we managed this data in our CRM system. Having those filed would just make our lives all that much simpler.

"An option for time, cost, manhour management for small-medium scope"
Comments: Generally no issue if the scope is small to medium. larger scope requiring links to many other apps may take time to sync.
Pros: Intuitively easy to use, good usage of colors to present a quick glance of resource versus objectives deliverables
Cons: Integration with existing calendars, tools may not be smooth and sometimes not synced.
Alternatives Considered: Microsoft Teams, Trello and monday.com
Reasons for Switching to Resource Guru: Good usage of colors to present information quickly

Hi there
Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :)
I wanted to let you know that our calendar sync feature is currently a one way sync, but we do have firm plans to support 2 way syncing in the future. Once 2 way syncing is released, you should find it easy to keep external calendar events synced in Resource Guru. Can I suggest that you sign up for our newsletter in the footer of our homepage if you haven't already - http://resourceguruapp.com. That way we can keep you in the loop about new features and other news.
I hope this comes as good news! If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be very happy to help.
Thanks,
Kat

"Glorified spreadsheet"
Comments: Causes more problems than it solves. We used to use a spreadsheet, it was much better than this.
Pros: Nothing at all. It has no redeeming qualities.
Cons: Allows you to book time without tasks. When asked to change this was told couldn't because some companies want that function, ie it isn't an option as it should be. The drop downs are fiddle and make it easy to select a blank, but doesn't warn you. Can't toggle between scrolling list and typing to search without cl king out of area. You have a set number of hours per day you need to book but it doesn't highlight those that are short- you have to hover to see remaining time but that function doesn't work properly, resulting in multiple clicks to get it to trigger. Colour by project doesn't actually do it, I'm on 6 projects yet only see 2 colours. Can push to calendar but not pull- useless function as meetings are booked in calendar to allow invites, you want guru to pull that data in to autofill. Though it is web based it is impossible to use on a mobile. The popups are always off screen, making it impossible to use - mobile friendly websites have been around for a very long time, lazy to not have it here, particularly as would allow people who are on the road to log their time on he go. Not worth the hassle even if free.
