    I have not reviewed other ones, Guru is the first one that I have seen like this. I have used other ones, like Salesforce that has a knowledge base but it is not like Guru. I think AI is a great feature to be integrated into a knowledge base for businesses.

    I was not involved with the selection process, but as a user, I found that Confluence was clunky to navigate, and the information quickly became out of date - there weren't prompts to update it, so no one ever did.

    Pros
    Guru Technologies
    • Simplified navigation with the use of keywords, making it quite easy to find an article.
    • Reading notices when a Guru is updated, and the new parts highlighted makes it much easier when we must always be up to date.
    • Provides an organized view of policies and workflows.

    Cons
    Guru Technologies
    • It's not clear how to relate/ attach other guru cards. The feature exists but is not very easy to spot.
    • We often find it difficult to search because we don't remember the card's title. I would love it if the tag words worked better.
    • Once editing a card, instead of adding someone to collaborate on a draft, it would be good to send the draft to someone via email. I find people often ignore these emails/pings if it's just a draft collaboration. The wording could be to ask someone to verify the draft.

    I rated Guru a 9 out of 10 for renewal likelihood because it has significantly enhanced our processes and customer satisfaction in the automotive rental company. Guru’s user-friendly interface and organized knowledge base make it easy to access and update essential information, which is crucial for maintaining high operational standards. The tool’s integration with other platforms, like the Guru Chrome extension, streamlines our workflow, increasing efficiency and productivity. One of the standout features is the ability to favorite cards, allowing quick access to frequently used information, which saves time and ensures accuracy in customer interactions. Additionally, Guru’s analytics feature helps us identify which resources need updating, ensuring our knowledge base remains relevant and effective. The only reason it’s not a perfect 10 is occasional slow performance and occasional inaccuracies in search results. However, these minor issues do not overshadow the overall benefits Guru provides. Its consistent updates and reminders further enhance our ability to deliver excellent customer support, making it an indispensable tool for our team.

    Guru is straightforward to pick up. Even if something takes a minute, I'm usually able to find a support article that answers my question quickly. Guru has served its purpose, and training others within our organization is very easy. It's very useful during the onboarding process. Usability is great.

    I would rate the online training for Guru a strong 8 out of 10. While it lacked the interactive nature of in-person sessions, the content was well-structured and delivered effectively. The training modules were clear and comprehensive, covering all essential aspects of using Guru. The flexibility of online training allowed me to learn at my own pace and revisit topics as needed. Overall, it provided a solid foundation and practical understanding of Guru's functionalities, making it a valuable learning experience despite the virtual format.

    You will need a very strong team of guru champions in order to get EVERYONE and EVERYTHING on Guru, it takes some craziness and over talking about guru everywhere to get people to be exicted, contribute and use. If you are starting any kind of buisness and you need KB, just go for guru as fast as you can because when you will grow you will thank yourself.

    Guru is somewhat expensive compared to what our org is typically willing to spend on software solutions. Additionally, there is a price difference per seat when paid monthly versus annually, which was a big downside for us as my company didn't want to commit to an annual cost.

    Return on Investment
    Guru Technologies
    • Guru allows our team to quickly reference available learning/knowledge materials with our clients on a daily basis and provide better support at every outreach
    • With that said, spreading those same resources across two major global teams in the USA and Germany can lead to some inconsistencies. The i-frame process is not very intuitive for this scenario and our team treats policy/procedural differences as separate card or article entities.
    • Guru allowed our organization to pioneer and establish a dedicated knowledge team component, of subject matter experts who work in tangent with existing resources, create new ones, and vet collective knowledge.
