Simple to use, easy to update, and way better than Google Drive
I've talked to our head of enablement and she's a big fan. It's not as powerful as a Seismic or ThoughSpot, but not sure if that's really an apple to apple comparison. If you need a better way to organize sales material, important internal employee info, (i.e. equity FAQs, or ERG information, etc.) than this is much more seamless and easily searchable way for your team. It will save them time vs. going down the rabbit hole in DRive, Dropbox or Box.
PROSWe use Guru from everything to HR, Finance and Sales. The "cards" are easy to set-up, they're time-stamped so you know they're up to date, and you can give a set of people admin access to make updates. For everyone else, they can leave comments and make suggestions so your data stays fresh and can be crowdsourced. I personally love the Chrome plug in, the search in Guru is really good and I rarely have trouble finding a card for whatever I'm searching for. One thing I also like is you can download the card content to PDF< this comes in handy when the content is customer facing, just 1-click and fire it out off in an email or copy the content and paste.
CONSLike anything, the cards can get a bit out of control, it can be hard to update and integrations are limited. It's still much easier and simpler UI than just creating a bunch of folders in Drive. I personally like it much more than Concur as well.

Game Changer
Kudos to Guru Team for keeping the tool up to date and easy to use. 10/10 for sure!
PROSIt's very user friendly, easy to search related articles or information using keywords. We rarely encounter any lags or latency while using the system.
CONSI think that would be allowing the user to customize or personalize the page. Like with google, where you can change the background images.

PROSI just started using this and noticed that it's an all-in-one platform for managing things like projects and tasks
CONSthe help tool wasn't as efficient as I thought it would be as the self-help was not as intuitive while on-the-go usage/training

You will never get behind with Guru!
My whole experience with Guru has been excellent. It greatly improved our team's knowledge management and collaboration operations. Guru's user-friendly design and powerful capabilities make it simple to generate, organize, and distribute information effectively.
PROSWhat I love about Guru is its ease of use. It's not complicated to navigate and is easy to access which is important for someone who works in Support. I use Guru daily to check on our FAQs especially when I speak with my customers to make sure that I am giving the right information about the product they are inquiring about. It has also helped our whole team to store the SOPs that we can use as a reference when we need to restudy different processes.
CONSI just hope there's an option to send a notification to your email if you fail to verify a document you created after X days.
Reasons for switching to Guru
It's cheaper and Guru has more functions we can take advantage of compared to Confluence. It is much easier to use and has clearer UX.

PROSthe ease to copying and pasting any information, sharing to other. the ease of access all you need with only typing the words and bring up all cards of information to select from. the ability to add items to favourite in other to spot out quickly
CONSthe drag and drop down, when you have to click to drop down before you access and information, makes it harder to spot of an information quickly.

Our team's preferred internal knowledge base
It's essential -- we cannot do our jobs efficiently or consistently without Guru.
PROSInformation health is critical, so the verification status of each card in Guru helps our team know how trustworthy each card is.
CONSFolders can only go 3 deep (folder within a folder within a folder). This means I need to rethink the organizational structure of cards to ensure a ton of information doesn't end up in a single folder making it difficult to locate stuff)
Reasons for switching to Guru
Updating our SOPs in Confluence was challenging because there was no set way to know when information expired. We were only a little better than using folders in Google Drive when using Confluence. When our team learned we could set verification intervals and expiration dates for Guru cards, suddenly our SOPs went from over 80% stale to 95% current.

An overall great way to organize information as one single source of truth!
Overall we are very happy with the platform and features. It has really helped us align and eliminate conflicting information.
PROSIt's easy to create, easy to upload and easy to organize information in a useful and productive way. The AI search is also really useful for getting answers quick, as is using AI to help you create net new content.
CONSThe recommended cards on the dashboard aren't particularly useful for me, but overall there's really nothing to dislike.
Reason for choosing Guru
The UI and ease of use. Guru is definitely more intuitive and easy to use.

It's too hard to organize and make public in Google drive. Stuff gets lost all the time.

PROSKnowledge alerts. These allowed us to share information with the rest of the organization through guru and kept them updated with products announcements and support questions.
CONSSet up was a bit labor-intensive but once you put the effort in it pays off and you’re well on your way. The dashboard layout could use some experience changes but for the most part it is intuitive and easy to use.

Knowledge Management for the Future
Guru has been such a benefit to our company, it's ability to connect and intergrate with other common work programs has made it much easier to implement. As someone who edits and creates resources within Guru there are a lot of wonderful features when building these cards to help share information in different and visually appealing ways. The Guru support teams are also always very responsive and open to feedback within their forum. Many features have been implemented just in the time we've been using it that have only served to improve the product.
CONSIt would be nice if the search function was more intuitive, right now you have to have a good idea of what you're looking for when searching, and if you don't type it in exactly you're unlikely to get a decent result. The implementation of "Answers" has helped this tremendously, but it would be nice to have in the search functionality.

Guru is the best knowledge best tool
What I like best about Guru is the fact that everything is accessible and user-friendly. You can create cards, you can share your knowledge and ideas with your community. I can see which has been verified as well for additional credibility.It was nice as well to see who creted each cards and when were they created. I love the fact that there is a "my library" so I can "favorite" cards that I usually use and as there were cases I forgot which card I opened, I can check it on the "recently viewed" It was a good tool indeed, an encyclopedia for each community.
CONSI honestly can't find anything to dislike about Guru. It has been part of my everyday life at work and even on rest days when I just want to read some cards and it was very helpful. I feel like there are still so much to explore on the tool that I haven't had the chance to check yet.

Guru is the greatest!
In my role, I need to be able to know nearly everything in order to support both internal stakeholders and external customers. Before Guru, finding information was extremely time-consuming, and you never knew if what you found was actually up-to-date since our company is a constantly evolving start-up. Thanks to Guru, my team has been able to create a fast and reliable knowledge base, and others within the org are jumping in as well. Guru has revolutionized how we create and access knowledge, increasing our efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration by leaps and bounds.
PROSGuru is easy to use and user-friendly.Guru makes finding information quick and easy.Guru's AI features keep getting better!Guru's Chrome and Slack integrations make it easy to access and create knowledge without leaving your workflow.
CONSI wish the Starter plan had a little more functionality, like the ability to use Zapier and some limited analytics.The Chrome extension periodically has glitches.The higher tier plans are cost-prohibitive for a smaller company.

CONSNothing, it provides everything we would require in an info database and more. We switched from a different software for its ability to allow users to track and comment on cards

Amazing Business Knowledge App
It really helps me quite my teammates quite educated on what's new in the company and this saves a LOT of of talking or explaining. I'm really glad Guru exists.
PROSI really like the fact that every knowledge card can be easily organized into boards and the level of permission configuration is so high and reliable. I really dig its design and language too.
CONSThe last update make the whole page a bit slower and the side menu is a bit crammy. The search tool speed was never great either. And the most complicated of all is the card text editor – when it sticks to a certain format, forget it, you are never going to be able work around unless you delete it all. It's really a pain when you need to edit already existing cards. Oh, the Chrome extension is not really responsive and also quite slow. I ended up removing it and sticking with the site instead.

Guru in a true sense
When dealing with a customer's query if I am unsure of a process, I have to check the relevant Guru card instead of looking for a subject matter expert or a supervisor, which saves a lot of time.
PROSGuru is the go-to tool for any questions I have regarding the process. It comes in handy while dealing with customer queries and helps me provide accurate and relevant information to our members. Information on Guru is easy to access and the navigation is smooth and efficient.
CONSThe keyword search criteria can be improved.
