Unleash vs. Guru: Why Modern Enterprises Are Making the Switch

Guru has helped many teams organize internal knowledge with a wiki-style structure and a browser-based answer experience. But for scaling companies and true enterprise environments, Guru falls short on security, flexibility, and AI-native workflows.

Unleash is purpose-built for enterprises - offering secure, flexible deployment, deep integration into daily workflows, and real-time AI support. Here’s how Unleash compares to Guru, and why fast-growing organizations like Chili Piper, Zendesk, and Wiz choose Unleash to power their internal knowledge layer.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Self-Hosting Options 

Security is one of the biggest gaps between Guru and Unleash.

  • Unleash offers single-tenant and self-hosted deployments on AWS and Azure, ensuring full control over infrastructure and compliance.
  • Guru is cloud-only and multi-tenant, which limits control and can present challenges in regulated industries.

Unleash also includes SAML, SCIM, SIEM, and resource-level permissions, enabling IT teams to enforce enterprise security and governance policies at scale.

For organizations managing sensitive knowledge across departments or regions, Unleash meets enterprise-grade security standards out of the box.

Deployment Where Work Happens

Guru’s answer delivery is mostly browser or extension-based. While that works for some teams, growing organizations need something more deeply integrated into the tools they already use.

Unleash offers native plugins for:

  • Slack
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Salesforce
  • Zendesk

These integrations let employees surface answers in context - whether it’s a support agent responding to a customer, or a sales rep working on a deal. No need to switch tabs, search manually, or leave the workflow.

AI-Powered Agent Assistants in Salesforce and Zendesk

Guru cannot operate natively inside tools like Salesforce or Zendesk. Unleash delivers intelligent Agent Assistants directly in the CRM and support environments, giving frontline teams contextual answers in real time:

  • In Zendesk, Unleash reads ticket content and provides suggested responses, knowledge articles, or summaries instantly - reducing average handle time.
  • In Salesforce, Unleash equips reps with smart ticket context and auto generated insights, helping them resolve issues faster and more accurately.

These capabilities are essential for scaling customer-facing teams without sacrificing quality - and only Unleash delivers them.

Case Study: Why Chili Piper Chose Unleash Over Guru

Chili Piper, a fast-growing B2B software company, replaced Guru with Unleash after realizing that Guru couldn’t scale with their evolving support operations. Their team struggled with:

  • Content sprawl and duplication
  • Difficulty surfacing relevant information at the moment of need
  • No access to knowledge inside their primary tools like Slack and Zendesk

With Unleash, Chili Piper’s support agents now:

  • Receive AI-powered answers directly inside Zendesk
  • Can search across all company tools including Notion, Slack, Google Drive, and Zendesk
  • Benefit from smart summarization and context-aware results, saving hours every week

As Chili Piper's support team grew 4x in just one year, Unleash scaled seamlessly - helping the team stay productive, accurate, and fast. Guru, in contrast, lacked the depth of integrations and real-time assistance they needed.

80+ Enterprise Integrations

Unleash supports over 80 connectors across engineering, sales, support, product, and HR tools—including:

  • Google Drive
  • Confluence
  • Jira
  • Notion
  • GitHub
  • Salesforce
  • Zendesk
  • Linear
  • Slack
  • Teams

Guru’s integration footprint is significantly smaller, making it harder to unify knowledge across teams.

Proven at Enterprise Scale

Unleash is trusted by enterprise customers including Zendesk, Wiz, AppsFlyer, and Guesty - organizations that need to serve thousands of employees across multiple regions and systems.

Unleash ability to deliver secure, real-time, AI-powered knowledge across tools and teams is why these high-growth companies rely on it - not Guru - to scale operational efficiency.

Built with AI at the Core

Unleash is powered by advanced LLMs, including GPT-4, delivering:

  • Semantic search that understands intent
  • Natural language Q&A with context-aware answers
  • Smart document summarization
  • Access-aware results, based on IT permissions

Guru’s AI features are far more limited in scope and integration depth.

Final Takeaway: Why Enterprises Are Choosing Unleash

If your organization is growing fast - or already operates at scale - you need more than a lightweight knowledge base. You need:

  • Enterprise-grade security and self-hosting
  • AI-powered assistance inside Zendesk, Salesforce, Slack, and Teams
  • Support for 80+ data sources
  • Real-world validation from customers like Chili Piper, Zendesk, and Wiz
  • Advanced LLM-driven insights that scale with your team

Guru helped you get started. Unleash helps you scale.
