What do you like best about Shelf?

I like many things with shelf, but if i have to pick one i would pick the search function. Before shelf we had manuals and best practices placed several different places, and the agents had a hard time finding the information they needed. With Shelf all you need is one search and you'll find the relevant information you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

I would like more custom options when you write wikis. More boxes and arrows etc. A lot of information is easier explained that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the knowledge has been categorized smartly, but even when you are unsure where to search for specific information, you can search with a word and still find what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to change the language code from English to Finnish to get visibility to Finnish instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

The search feature on Shelf is my favorite feature. Similar to doing a web search, you can type in a key word into a search bar and easily find the information you are looking for in just a few seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Currently there is not a way to have an announcement posted to Shelf, and have a notification sent to users by email. I would like to utilize the announcements feature in Shelf, but want to have users notified when the announcement is posted incase it is urgent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

My overall experience with Shelf has been amazing. It is empowering our organization and managers to make educated decisions for their customers. Shelf has provided a platform to effectively manage the content and support power users in categorizing it efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Content reporting can be improved by providing power users access to build interactive custom dashboards. In addition, integration with the other third-party reporting tools can be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

The built-in Insights section is the thing that I like the most about Shelf. It makes very useful data points readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Less granularity in the reports under Insights section. If more granularity is provided,it would help businesses analyze the data in a more customized manner and derive more meaningful insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

Clear and simple website. ''Favorites'' part is nice to collect all most important instructions together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Searching with one word is not very helpful. You need to know exactly the right word or sentence if you want to find right work instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Fikret Alimov of Shelf

Hey Frida,

Thank you so much for your review!

I have a comment for you - you can actually adjust that setting in your Shelf! All you need to do is to go your profile settings, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and switch the Open Gems in a new tab toggle to on. :)

I hope this helps.

Best,

Fikret

I'm using Self every day and so far it has worked impeccably! Nothing more to add here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

Shelf has lots of features - even when you think there isn't something that will work for you, there are! My personal favourite is the Wiki Pages and Decision Trees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

My only feedback would be for there to be tutorial videos on how to create content in each type of formatting. For example, I was not able to create decision trees until someone showed me how. It would have been a much better user experience if there was a "Tips" or "How To" right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
