By far, the best knowledge center I've ever used.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Guru from other similar products?

Based on my experience using Guru and other knowledge center platforms in operations and training environments, Guru offered more features, ease of use, training, integration, and frequent enhancements than all others I've used. I would recommend Guru to any company in need of a solid knowledge center, or an easily accessible training program, especially for large and/or primarily remote companies.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My absolute favorite feature was the ability to link a specific Guru card in Slack messages in response to a question.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I believe it would be beneficial for Guru to have more video tutorials to decrease the learning curve time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Guru was the most intuitive company-specific "Wiki" I've ever used. If your company needs a knowledge center or is looking into creating a solid training plan that employees can reference as needed, Guru has you covered!

It’s absolutely atrocious with search, and organization is severely lacking. It’s really hard to get people to find things even when you optimize it.

Look at products, like confluence in terms of grouping and grouping like features.
