Guru vs. Vuforia Expert Capture

Our Guru contains a lot of knowledge specific to our line of work. It's often where I start to fact check something, begin a blog post, research a company specific topic, etc. It excels at researching specific items, drafting new procedures, and keeping things organized into various collections. I can review answers to employee questions to ensure things are correct and step in when needed. It's honestly been the most helpful thing we've added.

• Ability to add comments to guru cards allowing viewers to give creators their opinions.
• Ability to unverify cards and keep timely inspection of cards to ensure they are valid.
• Ability to add images/videos and other form of files to cards directly.
• Ability to search for relevant information through the search feature.

• 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.

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.

I give it a 10 out of 10 because we do have different departments within our organization

• 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.
