Guru.com
VERY useful for small companies where one person does an entire job/task. May be less useful for larger companies, as it would be difficult to maintain, and there are usually teams to cover the slack. Also good for tech purposes. Our tech people constantly create Guru cards in order to help us learn to do back-end things.

Pros
Guru.com
  • The segmentation of information into Collections, boards and individual cards allows you to keep a good control and organization of information contained within.
  • An add-on app for Slack and a Chrome extension mean you don't even need to have the Guru.com site open to still be able to access all of your stored information.
  • The ability to allow some or all users to create & edit cards adds value and strengthens the team collaboration.

  • Relatively high fees taken out of earnings
  • Fake clients still get through, which causes a headache
  • Having to pay to get your bid higher up in the list of freelancers makes it even more costly
