Guru is well suited for large teams with ever-evolving products and initiatives. If there are new hires trying to ramp Guru is a great resource for learning and sharing tribal knowledge from and with colleagues. Guru is very helpful for self-sourcing answers to questions and for continuous learning within an organization.

In our company, we host our benefit articles based on country on our Zendesk Guide. However, these articles should not be seen by employees that are outside their respective article country. For example, an employee that is based in Thailand shouldn't be seeing Malaysia benefits article as employees might compared benefits. With Zendesk Guide, the system allow us to set the configuration of the article so it is only visible Thailand-based employees, and for Malaysia article, only Malaysia-based employees

Cons
Guru
- Engagement with engineering teams is still an area for improvement, we are unable to get our engineering team to adopt the tool as a means for their own knowledge management product because it does not offer the same functionally such as hosting and revision control - like that of GitHub.
- Using Guru to replace our current wiki (Confluence), we are in need of some other tools such as templates and better import functionality. Transferring existing content from Confluence to Guru was a very hands on and time consuming process.

- Some improvement needed to reviewing articles, as we can't do the reviews in the same place where we write and publish the article.
- Central KBs need to support version history, which some time lacks to give track of multiple review.

I never actually required contacting the Guru support team. That could be because creating new Guru cards or editing existing ones was very intuitive. One issue I did have was that when it came time to export all of the content in Guru it was very difficult and cumbersome so I would recommend making that an easier, cleaner process.

The support is good but can sometime be frustrating to get a quick answer. We end up being sent articles that don't answer the question and then we have to go back and try again

Honestly, Google Drive does not stack up against GURU, but it is what we were previously using to organize internal knowledge. If your organization is at 50+ people, you need an actual tool to help organize internal knowledge. Everyone will be thankful that its not just a google document somewhere in Google Drive

It was integrated with our Zendesk help desk, and was reasonable in price.

- Our ticket resolution times went from over 8 hours to just over 2 hours.
- We no longer have a continuous conversation between support and developers allowing developers to focus on developing.
- Having the same information across teams has proven helpful too.
