Alternatives
Overview
Glean is an enterprise search platform that indexes your company's apps, Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, Salesforce, email, and 100+ more, and lets employees search across all of them in one place. Its AI understands workplace context, surfacing who knows what and which documents are most relevant based on your role and team.
Our Take
Glean solves a specific enterprise problem: employees wasting hours searching for documents they know exist but cannot locate across Slack, Drive, Confluence, and a dozen other tools. It indexes 100-plus workplace apps and surfaces results based on your actual role and team context, which generic search cannot do. The enterprise-only pricing, roughly $45 to $50 per user per month with a 100-seat minimum, makes it inaccessible for small teams by design. It genuinely earns its keep in knowledge-heavy organizations above 50 people where the search problem is chronic; below that headcount the ROI math rarely closes.
Key Features
- Unified search across 100+ business apps with AI ranking based on your role and recent activity

- People graph shows expertise mapping, find who in your org knows what
- • Eliminates the 'I know we have a doc about this somewhere' problem that plagues knowledge-heavy teams

- • Enterprise-only pricing makes it inaccessible for small teams or individual users
- • Requires connecting enough apps to be valuable, low ROI in organisations with fewer than 50 people
