Pros & Cons

Notion

Pros

  • + Highly flexible structure (pages + databases) for many documentation styles
  • + Strong collaboration and sharing controls for internal/external docs
  • + Large template ecosystem and easy-to-build internal wikis
  • + Integrates well with common tools (Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, etc.) and supports embeds

Cons

  • Can become messy without governance (naming conventions, database design, permissions)
  • Performance can degrade with very large workspaces/databases
  • Advanced knowledge-base needs (granular publishing workflows, strict IA, analytics) may require specialized tools

Guru

Pros

  • + Excellent UX for finding and using knowledge via extension and chat integrations
  • + Verification model helps keep content accurate and reduces stale documentation
  • + Strong integrations and content capture make adoption easier
  • + Good search and AI assistance for surfacing relevant answers quickly

Cons

  • Pricing and advanced governance features may require higher tiers/enterprise plans
  • Information architecture can get messy without disciplined tagging/ownership
  • Some teams prefer full wiki-style long-form docs; Guru’s card-based model can require adjustment
