Glean is well suited for any business with multiple vendors and vendor owners/approvers. They help implement controls on approvals/payments that you can't otherwise get in QBO, allow greater visibility across the organization for vendor spend, and cut down on time to manually enter and track invoices.
The scenarios where I have to look for a step-by-step guide to attend to customer needs, and going through the FAQ and internal guide will waste productive time and also affect customer experience due to time constraints. Guru helped to reduce the time spent searching for the information needed,, and the suggestions were apt and direct to the work needed.
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.
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.
What am I looking for from the partners that I'm working with? To be supported on my role in order to succeed, and Guru does that. It supported me to easily set it up, easily integrate with multiple sources based on my needs, and an easy launch, such an easy rollout that I didn't need to even beta test it or have a soft launch. I went directly with a full launch, which saved me a lot of time also and saved time across teams. I'm internally advocating for how useful it is across the teams to find very quick answers to very complex questions
Highly reliable day‑to‑dayGuru is consistently available when I need it. The platform loads quickly, search works reliably, and I rarely experience downtime or slow performance. It’s dependable enough that teams can trust it as a daily source of truth. Minimal unplanned outages or errors. In my experience, unplanned outages or errors are extremely rare. Even during high‑usage periods or heavy workflows, Guru remains stable and responsive.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Their cost and billing premise make sense, they allow unlimited users instead of trying to charge you for each and every head, thus allowing you to truly have spend visibility and cost consciousness front of mind for your vendor approvers. Their UI is clean and easy to pick up and understand, even for non-accounting personnel.
The platform is unique, comprehensive, and uses AI. These are standout features. I also like the verification process and the ability to search from anywhere or on any browser. Guru enhances productivity and knowledge transfer when someone leaves an organization. Guru's interface is very user-friendly and can be trained quickly with new hires.
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.
Easily deployable across multiple teams and departmentsGuru is designed to scale horizontally across an organization. As teams grow, it’s simple to create new Collections, Boards, and permission sets without disrupting existing structures. This allows each department to manage its own knowledge while still contributing to a unified source of truth
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.
