Commenti: conflics of scheduling

Aspetti positivi:

This platform does the things – it makes my life so easy- it make my work/scheduling professional and focused

Aspetti negativi:

Easy to access and tracking creative hours

RG is great for keeping track of resources and utilization of employees

Commenti: RG has made scheduling much simpler and visible across our organization

Aspetti positivi:

functionality, ease of use, visibility and the way we're able to allow access to certain functions

Aspetti negativi:

would be nice to have a search function to look up past and future information

Alternative considerate: Calendly, SimplyBook.me e HubSpot CRM

Perché passare a Resource Guru: RG was highly recommended by a few of our colleagues

Resource Guru: An Easy-to-Use Resource Management Tool

Commenti: Overall, my experience with Resource Guru was positive. The software was easy to use, intuitive, and provided me with a powerful suite of tools to help me manage my team's resources.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked the fact that Resource Guru was incredibly easy to use and allowed me to quickly and intuitively manage my team's resources. The software also allowed me to easily customize the way I view and organize resource data, which was very useful for staying organized.

Aspetti negativi:

One thing I disliked about Resource Guru was that it had a limited selection of integrations. This made it difficult for me to connect the software to other applications I used for project management. Additionally, there were some features that I had to pay extra for, which I felt was not ideal.

My daily bible for work

Commenti: I honestly rely on this stuff every day and would struggle to get by without it. Overall, I've had a great experience using Guru, and I'd absolutely tell a friend about it.

Aspetti positivi:

I appreciate how this tool can be so well-structured. As our account had so many updates, we used this tool to stay informed. I admire how you can save your favorite cards to the favorites page and quickly search for what you need by using a keyword to respond to members' concerns.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing about the product bothered me, and since I last used it, I'm confident that it has improved even more.

Highly recommended for Product Knowledge.

Commenti: Overall, as a user/consumer of this tool I am very satisfied with its top notch efficiency and would highly recommend for company's/ small business's knowledge base.

Aspetti positivi:

It carries pretty much all information from basic tools to company processes and should be able to find data/ information with simple keys.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing much. I just wish if we are to click on it from a new tab, it would easily open it on there and not have to open two tabs at same time. Doesn't really make that much sense.

Great Team planner

Commenti: My experience is great, able to see what my team is planned for ahead of time, but as with all apps its really only as good as the user.

Aspetti positivi:

It is very user friendly and we are easily able to see what the team is planned for

Aspetti negativi:

That we cannot do reporting on the basic package

Great Workspace Companion

Aspetti positivi:

easy to allocate time and datesvery good in project colours and everythingalso overall progress bar is good

Aspetti negativi:

User ui iconswe are able to select extended allocation and delete it.

Resource Guru has been a game-changer for us

Commenti: I love Resource Guru. It's the only thing that's shifted our capacity management into a new gear. By which I mean: No more trying to manage everything from a single calendar, complete visibility over workflow and appointments, and the ability to see at a glance how much time is available on any given day.

Aspetti positivi:

1. It doesn't try to do anything other than what it's best for 2. Calendar sync 3. Cost-effectiveness 4. Responsiveness of the support team (including on UX suggestions! Amazing.) 5. The little guru on the dashboard. Yeah it's cosmetic but it makes me feel good every time I log in. 6. Easy to set up and use.

Aspetti negativi:

The only things I really dislike a cosmetic and non-fatal. They are: 1. The inability to hit a "today" button to go back to today's date, and the thin scrollbars right and left 2. The fact that I have to literally click and drag events to create instances on non-consecutive days, rather than selecting dates.

Alternative considerate: Basecamp, ClickTime e Smartsheet

Perché scegliere Resource Guru: It's just ineffective to manage capacity in a calendar OR a spreadsheet (which is what we were doing previously).

Perché passare a Resource Guru: Everything else is not just resource specific. Resource Guru is (ref comment about it just doing ONE thing and doing it extremely well). Plus the cost. Resource Guru is incredibly cost-effective for a micro team like ours, which runs almost entirely on subcontractors.

Kudos

Commenti: As a small, but growing organization, we were having trouble measuring how our creative resources were being allocated. Resource Guru quickly solved that problem.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Alternative considerate: Smartsheet e Microsoft Excel

Perché passare a Resource Guru: Using Excel and Smartsheet required too much effort and the Project Managers would not be able to effectively track changes in resource allocations.

SM user

Commenti: As mentioned I have implement RG to both my previous and current working places. Its easy and simple, no complications, not clumpy.
I use RG on a daily basis to book my whole team's daily tasks.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use, simple for all team members. Looks visibly pleasing. I have implemented Resource Guru to my previous and current working places. Very good value for money.

Aspetti negativi:

Needs to have an action for users to click once they have completed the task. I have been waiting for this for a few years now. Still not very mobile friendly.

Alternative considerate: monday.com

Perché passare a Resource Guru: It was more beneficial for my team and how we work daily.

Game Changer

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to schedule out months at a time. Small projects do not get lost in the shuffle of construction projects that go on months at a time where we are constantly pulling on and off of. It is so easy to use and customize. Field staff caught on intuitively and almost immediately.

Aspetti negativi:

I cant think of anything I don't love about RG. I do not use many of the advanced features because we have project management software that gives us reporting.

Alternative considerate: Calendly e Microsoft Excel

Perché passare a Resource Guru: It seems easiest and most intuitively laid out.

The best stand alone solution for resource management

Commenti: We're using ResourceGuru for weekly planing, when we plan the up-coming week for every creative and strategy members. And every day, through a short stand-up meeting, we review the daily plan of everyone to make sure everything is clear. Thanks to the simplicity of the UI we can easily replan on the fly in case of project changes.

Aspetti positivi:

UX is awesome Simplicity of the solution.

Aspetti negativi:

The one-side only integration with Google Calendar. If we plan meeting in people's calendar, ideally it populates ResourceGuru (and would place it in queue in case of conflict/overtime). The integration with other software, like Harvest, is inexistent, isn't it?

Intuitive and efficient resource management software

Aspetti positivi:

The best part about Resource Guru is the reporting system. Given how fuss-free the management tools are to use, the reporting system is the proverbial icing on the cake, as it aggregates all your available data in one easy to use panel. Not to mention, it is so intuitive to use and has such a remarkably low barrier to entry, that I onboarded all my team managers in a single day, and have never looked back.

Aspetti negativi:

Some parts of the UI look a bit dated, like the "adding resources" panel, but it's honestly not a big deal because you only use it once when adding your resources, and hardly touch it ever again. Other than that, changing the default working hours is a bit tedious, but again - do it once and you never need to adjust it again.

Solved the Scheduling Problem

Commenti: It has been an excellent experience. I brought resource guru to my current company after experiencing it as a project manager at another consulting firm.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to filter, sort, and visualize resource assignments across 50+ individuals with a variety of technical abilities has helped remove a lot of the pain in managing geographical diverse field crews

Aspetti negativi:

I would like the ability to see 4-6 months on the screen at once. Instead of individual blocks for each day, I would like to see each block represent one week (a zoom out option). Some projects are 1-5 days, while a lot of assignments are 3+ months.

Fantastic Tool

Commenti: It's just great. It's made my role so much easier.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use. It's helped me create buy-in among other departments internally with regards to schedule-driven process, whilst enabling everyone to maintain a proactive view on our resourcing capabilities (which ultimately informs everything else from our commercial functions, employment plans, etc).

Aspetti negativi:

I'd maybe tidy-up the 'Project' and 'Clients' tabs a little bit. Maybe introduce some filters to help you search for groups of each? That's about my only complaint, and it's not a big one by any means.

Review from a user perspective

Commenti: Resource guru has been a bit of a god send as both a user checking when you're scheduled in for work but also as an admin to have big visibility of what everyone is working on and when.

Aspetti positivi:

Scheduling is really easy to do on the web version, I can book, amend or cancel resource in a matter of moments and easily drop and drag to move things around.

Aspetti negativi:

The mobile version on web browser can be a little clunky, it would be good to have an app version to make checking scheduling on the go (whilst at external meetings etc) easier to use, the same for booking resource on the go, its almost impossible to do so on mobile

Resource Guru - RMT

Commenti: We are trying to ensure all jobs have been staffed. Jobs may have from 1 to 3 people with different experience levels. So far we've staffed the jobs, however we're unable to determine who's overloaded and who isn't.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of scheduling and color coding to identify the job owner.

Aspetti negativi:

Differentiating between confirmed file and unconfirmed files; Unable to sort resources by experience level Unable to view staff capacity in one shot - We didn't sign up for reports so that may likely be the reason. Unable to color code by client and also by booker

Fantastic tool

Commenti: Excellent. It has been a fantastic tool for our lean, high-performance business.

Aspetti positivi:

Intuitive, easy to use, efficient. Simplified our weekly and monthly production planning radically, allowing us to focus more effort on forecasting production load, maintaining workload balance and ensuring good capacity to execute our projects.

Aspetti negativi:

Doesn't yet have the ability to set recurring events. Drag and drop functions are sometimes unstable, particularly with cloud syncing.

Resource Management Made Easy

Commenti: Overall the solution is very robust and solid at what it does. It has been used for over 5+ years and does it job well. I would like to see a bit more is product feature evolution in terms of workflow management/triggers as mentioned.

Aspetti positivi:

The filtering capabilities allows different user roles to manage their teams easily and also find relevant skills in the agency. Many people have hidden skills and talents and having them searchable allows us to tap into these.

Aspetti negativi:

I would like to see more API integration efforts made into other applications. I would like to see workflow triggers to handle people picking up work (validation) or not picking up work because they haven't been briefed in (trigger notification to manager) to help actually manage the validation of the acceptable of work by the individuals instead of having to follow up. This would remove a lot of chasing and admin.

Resource Guru is amazing!

Aspetti positivi:

This program has been a vital part of out organization. I use this every day to schedule all of our resources for all of our projects and even PTO. We then download this information and use it to help forecast our revenue. It is incredibly easy to use and manipulate. The Beta is amazing!

Aspetti negativi:

I would like it if you could add a rate to each booking. That would make it easier to forecast revenue. Other than that, the product is great!

Resource Guru - How its helped the day-to-day operation

Commenti: Overall it's been a great experience and helped me and my team better operate our day-to-day tasks and ability to manage our staff and projects. It's a tool I've used for a few years now and do not see us looking back.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use - loved the beta version and very happy that is now the standard. Easy to update multiple days on the fly and saves as you go. Great feature of saving teams/groups so I can see a quick look without having to multi click.

Aspetti negativi:

Only thing I can say is I wish there was a better way to export reports from the software, possibly export into excel where I can print out the relevant information.
