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.

With the exception of one of the rep who helped me with migration, the customer service is appalling.

Dishonest and misleading practice on the free trial.

Believe the positive reviews - it really is easy to use and the Customer Service Team have great patience, nothing is too much for them to help with.

I love BrightPays ability to be integrated into other CRM platforms.

Simple to use, the level of Customer Service is fantastic and very cost effective for small businesses such as Spenart.

Easy set up, good support, great functionality, good reporting and payslip production, good employee database.

Another benefit is that it emails PDF payslips all at once. Integrates with HMRC for RTI, and also for coding notices which is great.

A comprehensive software that is simple to use. As a small employer, I think this is an excellent product and it is provided free of charge until you have more than three employees.

The guilt feeling I get from being a small user and not having to pay for the program.

Bright pay is an easy to use payroll software. It covers auto enrolment for pensions and statutory payments and provides vey good and helpful customer support and an easy to read online help page.

I use the one-company free version and for free it is absolutely brilliant. I find it very easy and intuitive to use (especially as I am not a payroll expert).

Less description and I never found it useful. Auto Enrolment function is not straight forward, most of the time so get error message for unsuccessful submissions.

This will discourage the customers to directly contact their area managers and wasting their time. Customers can provide feedback and acknowledgment of their tickets.

Some years later I am very happy to report that BrightPay fully does the job, is easy to use, and are happy to answer any questions one might have.

I have recommended this product because of great customer service and ease of use,  having switched from sage some three years ago, and my friends are now using it and thank me all the time.

I initially talked to some of the BrightPay staff at a seminar for bookkeepers and they were very helpful; I've only had to contact the helpline once during conversion and they were brilliant.

I like the help from BrightPay which can be found on their website and I have emailed for assistance and this has been a clear quick response both times.

Having used HMRC's own system for a number of years (and I found it absolutely dreadful), I decided to bit the bullet and make the switch.

And best of all was the price, we have saved hundreds of pounds over the last few years thanks to this great software.

This software has many aspects likes covers payroll including other expenses and benefits. It’s a nice and modern user platform, simple and easy to use.
