Pros

“Productive provides many different solutions that most Service Companies need, in one place, allowing multiple team members from different departments to have everything under control.”
GG

Guglielmo G.

Chief Growth Officer

“I love all of the updates and developments, the use of AI and automations across the tool is making task management and in general project management so much easier and more efficient.”
HW

Helen W.

Delivery Manager

“It allows us to track resources, costs, and progress in one place, giving us full control over our projects and saving significant time compared to using separate tools.”
LS

Leo S.

Technical Director

Cons

“Unable to add check marks or drop downs for why a customer is in or what has been completed.”
CO

Candace O.

Flooring Sales Employee

“The worst part about Resource Guru is the guest access.”
PB

Peter B.

Managing Director

“The only thing we would rate negatively is that Resource Guru doesn't give you the option to tick off completed tasks.”
KS

Kiley S.

Traffic Manager

Cons

“DOCs, limited nesting of tasks (subtask cannot have another subtask), missing template center for reports, few specific things for our country in invoicing (double tax for both currencies etc)”
RT

Robert T.

COO

“Some features (like invoicing) are not relevant for us, since we use our existing CRM system.”
LS

Leo S.

Technical Director

“It can be a bit complex and time-consuming to get familiar with.”
