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.

Highly recommended for Product Knowledge.
Overall, as a user/consumer of this tool I am very satisfied with its top notch efficiency and would highly recommend for company's/ small business's knowledge base.
Pros
It carries pretty much all information from basic tools to company processes and should be able to find data/ information with simple keys.
Cons
Nothing much. I just wish if we are to click on it from a new tab, it would easily open it on there and not have to open two tabs at same time. Doesn't really make that much sense.

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.
