All of these vendors have similar functionality but Guru did a few things better in the evaluation. Guru's pricing was considerably favorable against the others. Guru's Chrome extension was the only extension available between all 3. Guru's out of the box solution made it very …

Ad testing:
  • PTS: needed to bring a new senior marketing team member up to speed on how we got to our current TV campaign
  • Solution: Series featuring consumer insights, why specific spokesperson, agency brief, the entire creative process - scrips, animatics, rough cuts, feedback, and testing at each step. Including the actual creative from each step.
  • Total time to build: 1 hour
Concept testing:
  • PTS: things get lost, findable but version control
  • Solution: everything in one placeConcepts, testing, IHUTs, verbatims, videos with transcripts. Reduces the possibility of missing something, helps with any builds (reuse), but gives us a the chance to dig deeper. Example: search on terms like "indulgent", or "crispy" or "share" much faster
  • Total time to build: 1 hour

Guru has been amazing in making sure my team is well-prepared by giving them information that they have been lacking. Keeping things all in one spot has been a game-changer for my team, and there are no questions about where something is located. "It's in Guru!" has been my tagline for the last eight months (since implementation)! Guru has not been great as a content keeper of PowerPoint presentations. I am looking for a solution for this, but in the meantime, we are still using a computer file folder to store all of our presentation materials.

Pros
Bloomfire
  • Quickly reach out to whatever employee segment you want to reach by posting a topic and it will send a notification to everyone in that group with a link to the posting.
  • Bloomfire saves all of the previous posts so in your free time you can go to the site, and explore the various range of topics others have posted. The information on there will only be as good as the person posting it, but it will be people within your company and industry posting it. So it will always be helpful.
  • Bloomfire is a place to be noticed by your peers. Have a great topic you want to express, my company allows all to post there as long as we keep it professional. So you can share your ideas or experiences in a safe and productive manner. But we do have some fun on there too!

  • I use it to help me remember what I did and to provide tutorials that frequently need to be repeated in order to assist other employees of the organization.
  • Configuring an FTP program is a method that is consistent with just minimal modifications each time.
  • the feature to pass verification to other team members and even have Guru flag articles for re-verification on a schedule is amazing.

Cons
Bloomfire
  • I would recommend adding a feature to combine different posts/series by job title (so in addition to the Revenue Ops category, there could be a structured walkthrough for Revenue Manager).
  • Live Q+A sessions for group onboarding initiatives.
  • Ability to label bookmarks by priority/job type.

  • I think the tab that suggests other cards would helpful.
  • My search for specific words opens too many cards, and it is very difficult to pinpoint exactly what I am looking for.
  • I would recommend a feature of recently viewed or most popular tabs. I am sure those logging on are all looking for most of the same information.

Usability
Bloomfire
Bloomfire is an easy-to-use platform for posting information and asking questions of my peers. It also has a user-friendly search capability. Yet like any other CMS, the secret to success rests in such items as the ability to use metadata to tag content or posts, and Bloomfire provides a wide range of options to make posting content and subsequently searching for it.

Guru has always been easy to use. The only feature that seems overly complex is the analytics section, which we don't tend to look at. We've never had any difficulty with creating collections, boards or cards, or with sharing them with our internal team or external partners.

I have not needed to pose questions to the support team yet, as it is a very simple piece of software to use, however, its help documents and the bot ready to answer questions let me know I am in good hands. The help center could load a little quicker, but that's my only complaint.

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.

I like Bloomfire because it is more concise with the work I do whereas Google search engine would provide broader information. It has just been so user-friendly, and easier to use [than] I could have imagined. I would use this program over any other that I have tried in the past.

First of all, when it comes to pricing, GURU was way more convenient and affordable at the same time. Also, with administrative organizational features, GURU has more to offer and more convenience as well. All in all, we, as a Team of managers in Fabfitfun, decided to go with GURU. We surely recommend this to our colleagues.
