Overall Satisfaction with Guru

We use it to document our software solutions and source code. We describe the use of each software and the way the code was architectured - sometimes including the reason the code was structured that way. We also document features and the problem they come to solve.
We also use it to keep track of Standard Operating Procedures.

Pros

  • Organized
  • Great Search!
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • It would help if we could nest files and folders more
  • Would be nice if it had more editing capabilities
  • Would be great if structure would be more similar to other word processors
  • Search
  • Ease of use
  • Great UI
  • Much easier to train in new employees
  • Developers can easily understand existing code
  • Easily search for answers to business related questions
Guru was much more organized than Confluence. Guru also has a really nice easy to use UI and amazing features for documentation.
Confluence is more freestyle - write what you want where you want, how you want. Guru is very structured - this is a pro or a con depending on your needs.

It is perfect for short documents explaining features on a software program or explaining the source code.
It's great for explaining problems and how the solution is fitting.
It's a little difficult to write longer documents because of the way this is structured. This is good as documents are forced to be concise.... but hard bec sometimes you want that longer doc
