    For us, it is well suited for personalization. Since we are hospitality brand, we have different rooms sales inclusion based on different segmentation like Mem or Non-mem, Global or UAE, we have to personalize our landing pages accordingly so that we show the relevant information to relevant audience. The inactivity pop up box and newsletter signup popups work good for us. It does not work well in some scenario like Dynamic Yield offers built-in analytics focused on campaign and test performance, but it’s not a replacement for tools like GA4, Adobe Analytics. It lacks deep funnel tracking or complex reporting capabilities.

    I think Guru is well-suited to organizations with subject matter experts committed to maintaining documentation. Guru cannot be managed by a single admin. It's essential that the SMEs are on board and are expected to participate in Guru as part of their role responsibilities. I'm not sure how well Guru would work for larger organizations with more information to house. I've only ever used Guru in SMBs with about 250 employees. It works well for that size.

    Pros
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    • Provide fantastic support, both in relation to strategy/best practice and troubleshooting.
    • An easy to use interface, as a user who is relatively new to Dynamic Yield I find that it is an intuitive platform to use.
    • The ability to segment and drill down on data allows for really specific insights which, whilst not necessarily being leveraged on a testing basis, can be super valuable from a greater marketing perspective.

    • Easy to learn. Anyone can make cards and use the AI to make them professional.
    • Answer questions about my business, essentially a wiki for everything we do.
    • The research mode is amazing. Full reports on various types of information including some rather complex topics. Complete with citations of where the information came from.
    • Admins can manage a hierarchy to keep information secure and available to the correct people.

    Cons
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    • Brand templates could need complex CSS/custom code.
    • We'd like to see a little "i" next to specific labels, which elaborates on what is meant. For example, when I hover over "Dynamic allocation," I get something like "An advanced form of A/B testing where the best-performing variations receive higher traffic."
    • Jargon (for example, for audience targeting) can be overwhelming for new users; therefore, clearer, user-friendly explanations are needed.

    • Lack of in-app advanced/granular usage and validation analytics.
    • Unreliability of Google Chrome extension.
    • Left navigation is not intuitive nor descriptive--I hunt and peck.
    • The search field is limited to keywords, so I sometimes have to "trick" it by including extra words in the title of a card.

    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.

    Usability
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    Setting up strategies, audiences, and experiences is simple and fast. It is incredibly easy to modify the appearance of your site and optimize every aspect with the Dynamic Yield Personalizations. However, while the data visualization on an experience level is easy to modify and analyze, exporting the data in meaningful ways is time consuming.

    While using the GURU card, the level of response I get is quality. The rate at which my responses and prompts through the search or chat is fast, responsive, and high-quality. I can easily see when the cards were modified, who modified them, and the new information available on the GURU.

    Pages load quickly and consistently. Guru’s interface is lightweight, so cards, boards, and search results load fast with very little lag. Even when navigating between collections or opening larger cards, performance stays smooth and reliable. Integrations perform well without slowing systems down. Using Guru through the browser extension or Slack integration doesn’t noticeably impact performance. Cards surface quickly, and interacting with the integrations feels just as smooth as using Guru directly.

    Support Rating
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    Overall, the support is very good. If you are a partner (my case), they assign you a customer success manager, that helps a lot. Also, there is a technical person to provide support to the partners, again a great help.
    My only "complain" is that with some complex issues, the support may delay in providing you with a solution. Sometimes that can cause some tension with your client.

    The support has been wonderful - probably one of the best things about Guru. We have a Slack channel where we can reach out and interact with our Guru CSM, and she is extremely responsive. Even if the solution isn't always easy, she provides all the necessary steps and options clearly.

    The online, on-demand training available was very good. I do wish we had done live online training as an org so that everyone had the same opportunity to learn the value and best practices. I completed the online, on-demand trainings personally, then turned around and taught the org, but I wish I had let the Guru experts do the heavy lifting for me!

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.

    Dynamic Yield provides far more capability and ready-to-go templates for small-medium sized businesses, as well as decent API implementation for businesses who want to have a deeper integration. The ease of implementation and faster time-to-market is why we chose Dynamic Yield.

    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

    • Most tests have had a positive impact on either revenue or conversion rate - quite often in double digits.
    • Dynamic Yield has also helped us to stop some particular initiatives through direct interaction with the customer base via questionnaires or by a test proving negative quicker than rolling out a permanent feature.

    • 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.
