Overall Satisfaction with Spekit

We have so many "documents" in G Drive, Confluence, the website, and other places. It's ridiculous and truly hard for any new person to join the organization. Where should we go to find XYZ stuff? Who knows! And search really doesn't do any of this justice.

Spekit is just a good search tool across many systems. It solves a problem that shouldn't be a problem, but clearly it is. This takes rapidly growing orgs who do not structure their internal systems in a sufficient way - to search across it all! Lovely.
  • Search! They will look across all the different verticals to help you find all of those documents.
  • One place for all docs, it's really good at finding all the content and explaining what tools mean for new people.
  • Honestly, there are a lot of tools that do the same thing - there are lots of search tools for orgs that use too many tools to host content.
  • I truly despise all the little helpers when I download the extension. Its the worst, stop cluttering my chrome.
  • The search! It's the go to thing.
  • The connection to GDrive, Confluence, and so on.
  • Lowered the need to onboard people and teach them where all the resources are, this helps salespeople be more efficient and scale.
  • It's helpful to say "just search it on Spekit".
Spekit is fine, I just feel like it doesn't have the world's best upfront organizational tool. I like Atlassian Confluence due to the ability to have pages and have an organized thought. That does take significantly more effort to keep it organized and up to date which everyone doesn't really want to have.

On the flip side, Spekit does have a great search tool, which is a lot like other enterprise search tools, this one just happens to be used by the sales team.

Overall, I'm a fan, except for their chrome extension - stop invading my space.

Yes

Would you buy Spekit again?

No

Good situation: when you have way too many tools hosting content, Spekit is great at bringing everything together so I don't need to remember where things are hosted. I just need to know ish how to search.

Bad: I feel like it still doesn't help people discover content nearly as much. The nice thing about a Confluence or other systems like that is that there are resources right in front of you, VS having to know what to search for. Also, I hate the extension, stop cluttering up Gmail.
