Easy to use high level planning tool
Resource Guru allows our company to do long-term high level planning of resource utilisation and provide a guide lead time for sales teams.
Pros
I've been using Resource Guru since 2013 and it's constantly improving which is good to see. It's easy to use and provides decent reporting.
Cons
I'd like to see public holidays auto populated according to a country of choice and ability to limit daily bookable hours just by a number (e.g. 7.5h) without setting a rigid start / end / lunch break.

The Best Guru for Scheduling Purposes
Pros
Differentiating the projects with multiple colours and maintaining all sort of slots in a calendar view makes it easier for a big picture. I really like the model popup with all the details when click on any slot.
Cons
I'm not an Admin user so I'm not familiar with all the functionalities available. So, I'm not able to think of any at the moment.

Glorified spreadsheet
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.

Resource Guru is a great online tool that does a perfect job in scheduling resources on...
Overall, we are very happy with the tool. Over the course of years, we had to find work arounds and come up with creative solutions (within what's possible in Resource Guru) but having found those solutions, we are getting what we need from Resource Guru.
Pros
Generally speaking the UX/UI of this platform is very user friendly and easy to learn/use. I love the color coding feature (that can be used for marking projects, resources, etc) and the recently added filtering by the "Resource Booker" is very useful too. Last but not least, I like that Resource Guru keep this product alive as every once in a while they publish new features and enhancements.
Cons
Resource Guru for our organization does a great job of helping us schedule resources of projects over time. So I can't really think of major issues. But one minor pain point is once we create a "non-billable" project and schedule resources on that project. Often and after a while (usually when a project is signed and official) we have to change that project to "billable", but although we do that, we still need to manually update each and every resource booking under the "Schedule" section and mark each booking to be "billable". Ideally and if we change the billability on a project level, all those resource bookings should inherit the change that was applied to the project.
Response from Resource Guru
Hi Amirreza
Thanks for leaving your great feedback!
Regarding your query about billable/non-billable projects, we don't currently offer the functionality to change the Project-billable-status for every past booking, as we aim to keep historical bookings as accurate as possible, but I've shared your feedback on this with the relevant team here so it can be considered as we continue to develop the app and it's features constantly :)
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,
Michelle
