Resource Guru vs Schedule it Comparison

Scheduling is easy and accessible for all users

Can't copy and paste for multiple peoples schedule on the same job. Have to enter schedule for each individual person.

I like that it visualizes your schedule and prevents overbooking.

I wish it had an integration with my calendar so that meetings would automatically sync.

Schedule, the way it looks, photos and colors in projects

The way holidays and time off are handled. Reports, no graphics. The way projects, clients, resources are view all CRUD functionalities related to that info The use of word "resource" for people Filters

As a resource management tool has every feature you are gonna need. I highly recommend to buy any of the plans that include the dashboards since they provide very useful insights to manage your company

In the schedule section the timetable is not alligned

It's very good for daily schedule. It reminds our daily task.

No cons. I found yet. This is a very good tool.

I find it easy to use, its easily accessible from my phone

be good to get a notification if the schedule changed

Easy to set up different types of Projects. You can slide from page to page.

Hard to schedule two or more projects in a day.

Hi Will, Thanks for sharing your review. Sorry to hear you struggled to schedule more than two projects a day. You can schedule as many projects as you like, as long as the bookings fit within your resources availability. You can learn more about booking clashes here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942080-booking-clashes-the-waiting-list-overtime-and-capacity-planning Let me know if you need any help with it. Thanks, Michelle

The calendar is easy to understand and easy to access.

Integration was okay but i kinda wish it would just email when the schedule changes and not necessarily daily.

i like to see in a shapshot what everybody in my department is working on, we are always on the go and very rarely see each other in the office

I am not sure if it already has this capability, but it would be great if we could export our own schedule to a customizable excel spreadsheet. At this time we have to fill in our schedule in this software and also complete a separate excel time sheet.

Hi Mirela Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I just wanted to confirm for you that you can download your data to a spreadsheet which could then be edited as required. You'll find a walkthrough on this here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942087-using-the-downloaded-reports I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm always happy to help! Thanks, Kat

I can see everyone and everything in a glance

I like Resource Guru in all aspects. It is easy to see what is going on on my work schedule.

Team schedule and booking. Making sure it doesn't conflict with other team members.

Haven't explored that much. I most use this to check the team schedule and booking.

- online so you can view it remotely - clients can be color coded - you can set various permission levels - reporting is accurate - customer service is fast

- searching for a specific project can be a challenge with no search feature - nothing else, it works well.

+ flexible scheduling features + clear and easily readable UI

- if a day has 8h30m available, and 8h15m are scheduled, and another task is added with a 30m length, it shows up as "30m on waiting list and 15m free" - in my opinion, it would make more sense to show up as "15m on waiting list and 0m free"

Hi Simon Thanks for sharing your feedback with us :) When it comes to Overtime or Waiting list bookings, it isn't possible to have bookings partially on the waiting list as it would also be hard to display it on the Schedule. But in the meantime, you can add elastic overtime if needed, and drag the slider for overtime to 0 if the time should not be marked as overtime, but needs to extend availability. You can find more details in our help centre article here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942105-elastic-overtime I hope this helps to clarify things for you, but please let me know if you have any further questions and I'll be more than happy to help. Thanks, Michelle

Ease of use, ability to schedule for myself and others. Presentation of data for schedule of all employees.

No Cons... great platform, great experience!

I like a very nice and easy possibility of reports, and how easy I can find and shedule people which I need.

Sometimes has an issue with performance Schedule and you need wait or refresh.

Resource Guru software design is extremely clear and user-friendly.

There is nothing that I dislike about this software.

The scheduling is easy, both to set up and to read. Everyone can see what their week is going to look like, and it's easy to re-arrange things if (as usual) things get changed as the week progresses.

It would be nice to have a way to see the schedule for a given client or project only - this seems not to be possible within the interface. I can filter by people and a client, but I still see other projects and clients in the schedule view.
