Guru vs. Rocket Folio/NXT

Guru supports the collaboration async across teams, and my experience so far was amazing both with the tool and the teams that I've been working with. I can easily rely on one single platform for all our internal knowledge management. Guru has been incredibly valuable for our knowledge management.

• 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.

• The "My Library" session could be simplified. Whenever we access it, instead of going to "Following" Gurus, it can directly open the folders I created and save my favorite Gurus.
• When keywords are not organized, it can be a little tricky to find a card if there are many similar articles.
• When there are many updates on the same card, they are stacked at the top of the page, making it difficult to view the 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.

The functionality of Guru for me and the org as a whole cannot be understated. It does the things it needs to do like knowledge Management and Resource Sharing at a very high level with extra features like comments and groups to improve quality of life for the near future.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
