About Glean

Glean is a powerful enterprise search and knowledge discovery platform. It connects to internal data sources to provide a unified search experience and a highly capable AI assistant grounded in company knowledge.

Common Reasons to Switch

  • Search vs Governance: Glean is fundamentally an enterprise search tool. It relies on existing source-system permissions rather than providing a dedicated AI policy enforcement layer.
  • Limited Model Choice: Ties your organization to the specific models Glean has chosen to integrate, restricting your ability to leverage the broader open-source or multi-vendor frontier ecosystem.
  • Missing Cost Controls: Lacks granular, team-level AI FinOps controls to prevent usage spikes across diverse workflows.
