What differentiates Guru from other similar products?

Guru is an amazing option for knowledge share and sales enablement. With remote work becoming a huge part of our sales team it has been an even more important option to share and make sure resources are readily and easily available. The display and usability is miles ahead of anyone else in the industry. Guru's ease of use and integrations are by far the best features and one of the other pieces that sets them apart.

The quick and easy access to all important sales information is my favorite. The quick search through keywords makes it so simple and fast to find documents.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't have anything I dislike about Guru at the present moment. It's been such a beneficial tool over the last 3-4 years.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Focus on your important needs for a tool like this ours was knowledge share and speed. We got that. I don't think anyone does it better.
