Overall, I am really satisfied with the program. It is very convenient and easy to use.

There are so many useful features as well. I also love that customer service is always excellent.

Sometime it slow and I have to use Google or it won't work. Navigation can some rime be difficult and if I miss a day I find it hard to catch up.

When combined with a production schedule, we are able to see which employees are falling short of expectations, meeting expectations, or exceeding expectations, with hard data.

Only one complaint - it does not prohibit Meal Period violations, which is an issue in California.

I love Hotel Effectiveness. I have been using it for years with two different hotel management companies.

Great info with using this system about the room occupancy, and helps us stay on budget and schedule according.

Great for scheduling and monitoring and including the ability to reduce overtime. Allows you to be proactive if used daily.

I like that Hotel Effectiveness is easy to use. Also it is a great way to keep track of late arrivals and absent employees.

My experience was a bit scary at first not knowing if I could correct my errors and just trying to operate the system.

The ability to send each associate their own schedules and communicate the reasons for accepting time off and not accepting.

This program is very easy to use. It helps me control costs and is user friendly.

Hotel Effectiveness is a great labor tracking tool.

Easy to track and monitor for any possible tardiness, OT and hours allocations discrepancies. The number of hours you lost or win is very informative.

Sometimes we have a problem with getting the finger to enroll.

Labor usage and management; better tool to review overtime/approaching overtime; scheduling functionality and time keeping are very user friendly and intuitive.

It makes daily review of hotel labor quick and easy. I love the myriad reports you can generate to break down the labor numbers.

The platform is simple to navigate, user friendly, the help feature is great and their is a library of tutorials available to assist with questions and provide ongoing resource.

It is very cost effective. I like that it tracks overtime hours and attendance.

No integration of schedules with Payroll System, schedules have to be entered in two places.

It's new and seem that it will help see results daily.

We utilize this software to keep track of all housekeepers restaurant staff and front desk staff. It shows a great snapshot of places where we have challenges and where we can save to increase profit.

The main benefit for Hotel Effectiveness has been increased control over labor costs. This product, for at least 80% of users (with 50+ employees), would probably pay for itself.

System is easy to use, on line help is very good and can answer the majority of your questions. Training videos and webinars are also helpful.

I can fine out the hours of my employee quickly. When schedule I can see what hours I have and where to use them more effectively.

The onboarding was very efficient, great visual, the support team has been very responsive to all inquiries.

I like how easy and quickly the support team are there to assist when needed. I like how it shows you who has booked what and the daily reminders via email of what is coming up, etc.

Resource Guru has added much needed forward visibility to our scheduling and quoting. It has been an easy integration, and we are continuing to realize new benefits of the software.

We moved from a home-grown Excel sheet to Resource Guru and it has made a HUGE improvement in employee satisfaction, clarity of assignments, and projecting resource constraints and availability.

I have been using for a few years now and Resource Guru is a really good software with easy and friendly interface. Since it was updated it got even better.

The UI is simple and to the point, integration with outlook calender makes it easier.

Easy to set up, use and implement. Great value for money and super customer support.

It is well laid out and provides an excellent visual representation of staff, availability and what they are assigned to do for the near future. Very rapid data entry and manipulation.

Responsiveness of the support team (including on UX suggestions! Amazing.). The little guru on the dashboard.

I love the simplicity and the overall view and feel. Super easy to setup and just a great product overall.

Very helpful, easy and friendly interface. Good value for money too.

It's a bit confusing the transition between the normal software and the Beta one.

Very good product, easy to use, extremely useful. Much easier than previous spreadsheet-based systems.

Hence, we don't need reminders about overbooking. These are a little irritating.

The lack of a smartphone or tablet app. Search functionality is weak.

The UI is very friendly and pleasant - make for a great user experience.

It allows you to set up the whole production team with just a few clicks. The customer service is highly responsive and reliable.

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

We can also integrate to the API to easily see who has free time and surface this through other channels. It also allows the whole company to get a view on who is free and when.

I like the features of this software its amazing and has a one place solution for all scheduling and tracking needs.

Ease of use - loved the beta version and very happy that is now the standard.

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Resource Guru. It has such an easy to use interface and great UX.

Great platform for planning and resource scheduling. It is clear and easy to use.

I really enjoy the funny sentences that you receive when opening the app every day. I like this kind of sense of humor.

All our interactions with the team have been fast and successful. They clearly love the product and the work they do.

I like how  my dashboard, and my schedule section are organized. I love the daily quotes.

As soon as no more resources are available, the time table becomes confusing.

I found it quite hard to log in, for some reason. I'm not sure about the cultural appropriation, either.

Customer service has been very attentive in assisting us in getting setup on the platform and we have received positive feedback from our team.

Good software and with a few tweaks/improvements it would be great but works out to be too expensive for large groups of resources.

Good tool for affordable price, good for displaying project milestones and phases.

Filtering is something that is crucial to our business, and while I love the functionality of it there is definitely room for improvement.

There aren't any features that I dislike about this software.

Our team has used Resource Guru for years now and it's been very useful in helping both project management and the rest of the company know what needs to be done.

Easy to use, very good UX & UI, great filters and reports.

Ease of use & great pricing - great software for small-large organizations.

Would like the option to customise the order of appearance (ie drag and drop). It also desperately needs an App.

I love how easy and simple Guru is to use. We spent so many years searching for a tool to fit our needs and only Guru could do what we needed - and better yet, it is so reasonably priced.

I think it's the best price to functionality ratio you can get on the market. Very easy to use and understand from the first sight.
