Overall Satisfaction with Guru
Myself and the team utilize Guru to create documentation of solutions, processes, and notes.
The issues with our previous Wiki and MS Office document solution were:
Guru was able to centralize the data with clarity on owner and as a bonus, we are able to set the review date, which shows up in the interface and can also be configured to notify in Microsoft Teams.
The issues with our previous Wiki and MS Office document solution were:
- Multiple sources and location of data
- Insufficient tracking of information owner
- Old and/or not up to date information

- Very simple data entry
- Easy searching for data
- Ability to set date reminders for card (Guru calls posts cards) review
- Cards downloaded as a PDF are Guru branded
- No ability to company cards when downloaded as PDF's
- Copy/Paste of web browser card information has occasionally caused issues with graphics in the past using Google Chrome, MS Edge, Vivaldi, and Firefox
- Traceable Card Owner
- Scheduled Reminders To Update Information
- Quick And Easy Search Capability
- Saves time by having information in a single location
- Saves time through easy search capabilities
- Saves time with dating information
Guru vs MS O365
- Guru: Quickly searchable, showing multiple options with summary information / MS O365: Data in different folders with unfriendly naming conventions made searching difficult.
+1 Guru - Guru: Programmable reminders (required for each card) to update. MS O365: No reminders and file dates did not indicate weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual review dates. Using a spreadsheet to track the information was an undesirable additional step.
+1 Guru - Guru: Heavily formatted documentation doesn't copy over well into the Guru interface (it can keep original document as a file to reference though) / MS O365: Natively supports heavy formatting in the documents.
+1 MS O365
