    Resource Guru
    It is very well suited when different branches of the company reside in different countries or time zones. It allows the project manager to efficiently keep track of the progress of their team members. It reduces the need for intensive calls where the manager asks for an extensive check in and update from each individual person. It also allows the project manager to update tasks and timelines as needed.

    It is well suited for entire companies to use not just small teams because you can create so many workspaces and folders which allow better organization for a centralized space. For example, if you want to create for one team a folder thats a Social Media Marketing Hub you can have that with supportive resources, documents, meet the team section, and so much more. You can have another folder for other teams like HR and HR Resources where everyone has visibility into the documents and anything added under that section. It's super helpful.

    Slite
    • I don't love that it doesn't integrate easily with the other tools we use, at least it doesn't as far as I know.
    • Since there is not an Excel sort of capability there is no way it could ever replace Google, so it is sometimes easier to just use Word docs instead of Slite since everything is in one place.
    • I think if Slite extended their product line up, it would be more attractive to use exclusively, instead of just using it for documentation.

    Slite
    Very clean interface however editing can be a challenge which is a big part of using it so I can't give a 10 until the editing and customization for editing is improved. I love how minimal the look and feel is though and how easy it is to organize different pages and folders.

    Resource Guru
    Resource Guru is the only product of it's kind that I have used regularly. Slack is comparable in allowing communication between teams, but doesn't have nearly the functionality of Resource Guru. Resource Guru is the only product that I am aware of that manages tasks and deadlines between various team members, and can be accessed by all members.

    [In my opinion,] Slite is cheaper but less mature and feature full. Notion is a much more mature solution, so I'd recommend it for teams who want to be at the front and don't care about cost.

    • It's easy to assign work to the resources.
    • Resources can be filtered with various criteria as per the project needs.
    • We get clear picture of assigned tasks and hence project progress.
