It is especially challenging for a new employee to stay up to date and retain all information related to product knowledge. Using Guru is very easy because you can quickly find any post or topic by simply searching for the relevant keyword.
Pros
Our internal support team's knowledge base is being organized with Guru's guidance. In addition to helping them with their workflow, it gives them the knowledge and confidence to trust the solutions they find.
Cons
When the dots are obscured by an arrow, making it difficult to see what you're looking for unless you click the corresponding drop-down arrow, which then reveals everything you were looking for, things get more complicated.

Guru and its help with outsourcing companies.
Reviewed on 28/10/2024
Pros
Overall, Guru.com serves as an excellent platform for freelancers looking to expand their client base and showcase their skills. With its user-friendly interface, diverse job opportunities, flexible payment options, and supportive community environment, it stands out as a reliable choice for both freelancers and employers alike.
Cons
The font should be customizable. Guru is so simple and that makes its contents understandable however there are still technical Issues: Additionally, there have been frequent technical problems with the site itself, including unexpected downtime that disrupts project postings and communication between freelancers and clients. These issues further complicate an already stressful working environment.

Pros
Great UI. Easy to navigate through different cards. Creating a card is easy.
Cons
The search functionality is absolutely awful. Trying to find something on the spot is a real challenge (even with as little as 40 cards), and it really ruined the whole platform for my team.

I have only been using this product for a little over a year and I was able to quickly get the hang of its, it's very easy to use. Compared to the last platform I was using this is very organized and you have the option of setting up a library with your favorite cards or those that you use frequently, given you quick access for when you need them. Overall, it's a great product and I'm glad my company made the switch.
Pros
Guru cards are very organized and easily accessible, when you find card that you use frequently you can categorize them and save them, so they are easily accessible when you need them. This great for when you have cards that you use on a daily basis. The cards are very clean and are not clustered up with unnecessary information, you can easily and quickly edit information if necessary, and the platform is very user friendly.
Cons
There really isn't much to dislike about the product, it would be nice if you could open up multiple cards at once instead of opening each on individually.

Reviewed on 08/05/2024
Pros
Guru prioritises the domain I work in, and their algorithm gives me results focused on my domain first. Depending on search terms being used, then they provide what is most relevant to the term searched. Very often, this is a time saving exercise.
Cons
After multiple results pops up for the same keyword, I try to open a Guru Card that I think could be relevant. I try to filter the result by using CTRL + F, but the card functions as a pop up, so the machine still consider all the keywords on the Guru cards that I have not yet selected, meaning I can't always use CTRL + F to speed up the process of finding what I want

Pros
Ease of use across a large number and wide variety of authors and readers. Centralizes all our team's documention, accelerates new employee onboarding and pushes us to keep documents up to date and viable.
Integrates well with Slack, keeping information and updates where our team spends most of their time and attention.
Cons
It can be overwhelming for authors when a lot of resources need verificition at the same time. Would be nice to automate an optimized schedule.

Overall, Guru helps me a lot. It will be a friend to you once you engage with knowing the in and outs of Guru. It will help you provide resolution for complex issues and it is constantly updated so we can guarantee that the information we are providing is accurate.
Pros
What appeals to me most about Guru is its user-friendliness. It incorporates AI, Chrome extensions, and additional features that streamline an agent's access to information. From my perspective, Guru's simplicity enhances agents' effectiveness. I consistently rely on Guru for swift issue resolution and the delivery of precise information. Leveraging Guru facilitates exceptional customer support, particularly with its convenient integration with Chrome extensions, leading to expedited issue resolution.
Cons
What I dislike, however, is that most of the time keywords does not pull up the correct article. It may be more helpful if we can have more accurate results in search.

Amazing for Internal Knowledge Base
Reviewed on 08/08/2024
Pros
I love how easy it is to create cards and store knowledge. I like the collections/folder structure and how you can set permissions at that level. We also use the Zendesk integration which is great because it's allowing us to have more sources of knowledge when our users search for answers. It's really easy to search and get an answer.
The verification process is easy to use and keep up with.
Some other things I like:
- You can have draft cards and collaborate on editing them.
- Comments! Love being able to leave comments on cards to communicate in the platform.
- When you publish a card update, you can summarize what changed.
- You can create cards in Slack.
Cons
I wish Guru could integrate with more sources easily. There are ways to upload sources and there are some native integrations. I like the native integrations because they continue to update and refresh from the source, but we only use one today because those options are limited.
I also would like to see more options in the card text editor, like for colors and highlighting. Maybe some themes even to keep everyone consistent.
I would like to be able to exclude some cards from verification. Right now, we just push the date out as far as possible.

Guru's capacity to link independent contractors with prospective employers worldwide and provide a variety of tasks across multiple industries is highly valued by its user base. The platform is frequently complimented for the flexibility it provides with regard to payment choices and project conditions, as well as its payment security features.Like every platform, Guru has its share of issues that could negatively impact the user experience, but it also provides employers and freelancers with useful services.
Pros
Guru offers a platform that makes it easy to locate independent contractors with a variety of specialties and abilities. Businesses can locate the ideal professional for a given project because to this diversity.Employers have flexibility with the platform's employment methods, which include fixed-price contracts and hourly compensation, depending on their project objectives and financial constraints.
Cons
Despite being competitive, Guru's fees are still an extra expense that companies and freelancers need to take into account. Particularly freelancers may receive much less than their billed fee after deductions. Even with a rating system in place, there is still room for wide variation in the caliber of work, which may need companies to invest more time in thoroughly screening applicants.

GURU has a dedicated article for each concern that I handle, and it really helps me resolving the issues correctly and in a timely manner. I can easily follow the steps to fully assist our customers in each problem that I get.

Also, the integration with chrome extension really helps me to have a faster resolution in every case that I handle.
Cons
