Likelihood to Recommend A scenario where it makes sense is a platform to organize your company content and knowledge base. It has the right access level and permissions. A scenario where it doesn't make sense is that it's limited in its navigation. So it's not really a one-stop shop; it needs a presentation layer or improvements in that area.
Read full review Good situation: when you have way too many tools hosting content, Spekit is great at bringing everything together so I don't need to remember where things are hosted. I just need to know ish how to search. Bad: I feel like it still doesn't help people discover content nearly as much. The nice thing about a
Confluence or other systems like that is that there are resources right in front of you, VS having to know what to search for. Also, I hate the extension, stop cluttering up Gmail.
Read full review Pros Guru cards and articles are very organized and easy to access, especially in an everyday setting. Guru is also good at integrating across applications. For example, with Google Chrome, the Guru extension helps me locate and pull up articles quickly. Guru is also constantly updated to provide accurate solutions to every complex problem. Guru is always moving forward. Guru also makes us retain this information by consistently reminding us about changes and updates through notifications. Read full review Spekit is quick and easy to install and start using. Spekit's customer support is second to none. Spekit offers a lot of flexibility for users to customize for particular situations. Read full review Cons The lack of Firefox and Outlook compatible plugins is one of my main concern. I would like to see compatibility across various systems. Having a background in web development, the lack of cross-compatibility is upsetting to see and experience, especially in this current age of tech - 20 years ago, it was a different story. Lack of organization Very opinionated (you have to think like Guru's team to really utilize their product) Difficult to maintain as the amount of content in your Guru expands Awful searching Read full review Wish it was easier to insert hyperlinks. Wish changes could be made once and duplicated to related pages. Would be nice to rearrange Speks on a user level. Do not seem to be able to share specific Speks.

Guru does the heavy lifting to get you set up quickly, ensuring information is readily accessible when and where it’s needed, all while improving in quality over time
Read full review Usability Its search functionality, its tagging capability as well authentication, security and compliancy are 2nd to none! Where I feel Guru falls a tiny bit short is not everything about it is super intuitive such as building out cards. But it is very reliable and consistent, you can be confident if you set up your cards or groups correctly it will do the job.

Read full review Support Rating The only reason I do not give it a a ten is because I think there is still some room for improvement in meeting the different time zone needs of their customers, but overall their support is top notch. Friendly, capable, and quick.
Read full review In-Person Training I would rate the in-person training for Guru a solid 9 out of 10. The session was incredibly valuable as it provided comprehensive insights into using Guru effectively. I learned a lot about the tool's functionalities, which significantly enhanced my proficiency and confidence in utilizing Guru for my daily tasks. The training was engaging, informative, and tailored well to ensure I could apply what I learned immediately. Overall, it was a highly productive and beneficial learning experience.
Read full review Online Training 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Guru prioritizes the domain I work in, and their algorithm gives me results focused on my domain first. Depending on the search terms being used, then they provide what is most relevant to the term searched. Very often, this is a time-saving exercise. We also have access to how many people are reading each card, and we can offer feedback to the owner/deviser of a card if the knowledge there is outdated or if a few lines of information would add to the overall context. The data we can extract helps us understand potential gaps and where we could do better.
Read full review Spekit is fine, I just feel like it doesn't have the world's best upfront organizational tool. I like
Atlassian Confluence due to the ability to have pages and have an organized thought. That does take significantly more effort to keep it organized and up to date which everyone doesn't really want to have. On the flip side, Spekit does have a great search tool, which is a lot like other enterprise search tools, this one just happens to be used by the sales team. Overall, I'm a fan, except for their chrome extension - stop invading my space.
