(1 reviews) ## Glean.ai Reviews ### 1. Quick and efficient **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marshall P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** The customer support is unrivaled and they respond within minutes. They are also super receptive to improving the product and are always working on implementing new solutions. The functionality to easily approve invoices across the business and make payments to vendors has saved our Company thousands of hours over the past year. Glean auto-populates key information (including the line item detail and the payment information), removing unnecessary human input and error. I also love that I am able to review all journal entries in Glean and that they are automatically pushed into our ERP. We've even started using it for employee submission of expense reimbursements. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** My only issue is that Glean sends you one email for every invoice that is received/requires approval. I'd much prefer a batch email at the end (or beginning of the day) which details out what I need to perform. I know this is on there roadmap though. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were paying a third party +$5K/month to hand key invoices into QBs and to ask various business users to approve invoices. Glean automated this process and has allowed us to generate significant cost savings (in both time and money). Glean has also made our payment process significantly easier. In the time it used to take me just to pay bills, I am able to review, code the journal entry, and process the payment for all invoices. It's a very intuitive platform. They also manage our prepaid amortization schedules and provide reminders when contracts are up for renewal/expiration. Incredible return on investment. ### 2. Makes AP easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bram S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** I'm the CEO of a small Software startup which means I run Operations, BD, HR and Finance. My focus is almost exclusively on making sure the very distributed team is working well. Finance is super important so that we don't run out of cash but also not something that holds my interest for more than 5 minutes at a time. If we're being honest, I am also not the most organized person in the world. Glean is a god send in making accounts payable painless. It helps me keep track of what needs to be paid, what has been paid etc It shows me at a glance if I'm staying within my budget. Contracts, invoices, spend history is all in one place so that I don't have to remember a thing. Add to that the fact that the AI helps to keep me from overpaying, missing critical problems in invioces and generally making stupid mistakes. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** I'd love more reporting features. I have banks, investors, managers that need reports that I now have to ask my accountant to put together. Some of this data may sit in the GL. It would be great if Glean could pull fiancial data and draw conclusions from it the way it does from invoices. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean streamlines my AP management and ensures I pay my vendors on time and don't overpay. ### 3. Glean makes AP very smooth and easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Glean's AP integration with Sage is very simple and easy to use. The OCR reader is 99% reliable. Also the staff is very quick to help with any issues that arise. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** The biggest issue that we have is with foreign currency invoices. They take more manipulation than our USD invoices. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for our AP approvals and payment process. ### 4. Next Generation AP Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Philip P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Looking to bring automation, organization, and transparency to our accounts payable process, we did a full review of all the large players in the space. After an into to Glean.ai we knew we found our solution. First off, the team and customer support are unrivaled, with hands on white glove service. The user interface is easy and intuitive while its integration with our other systems has reduced errors and improved accuracy to our financial reporting. Glean.ai provides us insight to our spend on an invoice line-item basis. For each invoice I can see what costs have increased or decreased by each line item. This allows the finance team to work closely with our product and engineering teams to optimize vendor services while reducing costs. The benchmarking feature is what really drives the ROI for Glean.ai. As contracts come up for renewal, we can benchmark our costs to others using the exact same services. This price transparency has allowed out to effectivity negotiate new pricing with vendors, significantly reducing costs. The issue of contract auto renewals has been solved by Glean.ai. The system tracks all contract dates for auto renewal and the date for non-auto renewal notifications. This has allowed us to cancel subscription that are no longer needed before auto renewal, as well as re-negotiate contracts prior to renewal. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** That we did not find this solution earlier. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** AP automation, reciepte capture and storage, spend insights, benchmarking data, and vendor contract management. ### 5. Would recommend from a mature start up **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Glean.ai makes it simple and easy to pay our vendors! They are a team with great customer service and easy to use UI. They are growing and very quick to take and implement feedback. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** A 2 way sync b/t Glean and NetSuite would be nice. Currently, deleting a prepaid and its respective amortization schedule in Glean does not delete the amortization entries already pushed into NetSuite. We have to manually delete those entries in NS. The reports are decent but I would like to see a dashboard. For example, I am downloading both the Amortization & Accounting Export reports and merging them together to create our support for Prepaids. It would be nice to have a dashboard, during any point in time, that shows what the balances are for our prepaids. The tool could get confused on which amount to capture as the invoice total when credits/discounts are applicable. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean.ai is helping our company smoothly and efficiently handle our AP process. ### 6. Needs more work **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Most invoices will be generated automatically, based on forwarded PDFs. Customer support is prompt when contacting them within the platform. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Vendors get duplicated often, and when that happens all the defaults like gl account and QBO vendor are missing even after vendors merged. Only support can merge vendors. Same invoice format pushed multiple times can still not get recognized and pushed to "unidentified vendor" which can not be renamed or merged without support. Payment information gets pulled only when local ACH options are listed but is still buggy and says "no payment info" and have to manually save. For international payments or check payments payment info won't get pulled. International payments with different currencies are a mess when synced to QBO: amount won't be synced with international currency even though multi currency enabled in QBO, initial rate applied to invoice when created but then final rate is different, based on when paid, so a different rate is applied to invoice payment; this means invoice and payment amounts do not match; Glean will push a journal entry to reconcile the two but uses inaccurate accounts for that. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean was meant to solve problems like contract renewal dates tracking, vendor spend tracking, automation of AP processing. They still have a lot of work to do on back end before they can solve these problems ### 7. Great AP Software! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Glean.ai has helped us streamline our AP processing. There are so many features I personally appreciate about Glean, like accruals, amortization, approval chains, etc. Best of all, the Glean support team is extremely responsive and quick to action any requests. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** One slight downside to using Glean is the software can be a bit cumbersome to navigate but I do know they are constantly making improvements to this! **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean helps us organize our vendor owners and make sure they are approving invoices for their department. The approval chain helps us maintain an audit trail for this. Glean's AI is also pretty good at parsing out information from an invoice and automatically entering it into their platform. There have been very few times where I've noticed it's gotten something wrong. Glean has helped us stay organized with our AP process and we are approving and paying invoices faster because of it. ### 8. Powerful AP automation and insights platform that has significantly improved our spending discipline **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josh M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** As a team focused on closely managing our expenses, Glean.ai has been instrumental in improving our day-to-day AP process and uncovering insights that consistently turn into meaningful savings. Specific highlights of our experience: Ease of Setup: Glean.ai is its incredibly user-friendly setup process. It took less than an hour of our team's time, and their customer success team was amazingly helpful during the onboarding process. Connect GL, Bank, and update bill forwarding, and we were off and running. Insights: We were manually reviewing expenses each month to look for unexpected variances. It was massively time consuming and once we found an issue, we then had to search and dig into the invoice line items to figure out what was causing it. With Glean, we've completely automated that process. Huge time savings and also turns up things we would have missed. Gleans: We've used their vendor Gleans to save a bunch of money through vendors where our pricing was higher than what other clients were seeing, and/or when vendor consumption increased to the point where we could negotiate a higher minimum for a lower unit cost. Some meaningful cost savings there. Automated Accruals: another process that was annoying and time consuming. We have to manage a lot of vendors and keeping track of accruals was executed through a spreadsheet. We've now completely automated the process through Glean, and as a result, also reduced errors in the data. Customer Support: the Glean customer success team is wonderful to work with. It feels like they are regularly reviewing our account and proactively recommending savings opportunities, suggestions for better ways to use the process, and best practices they see from other AP teams. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** It's been a completely positive experience with Glean. We're glad we made the decision to partner with them, and I guess my only dislike is I wish we would have used them sooner. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean helps us improve our AP process through the automation of some very manual steps, and includes a great set of insights that have saved us meaningful amounts of money in our vendor spend. ### 9. Gamechanger - saves everyone in our company so much time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kathleen K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Being able to find internal (and even external) content can be a HUGE time suck. I used to spend countless hours searching for things and now I can easily find what I'm looking for within seconds. It has completely changed how I work for the better and I can't imagine working without it again in my career **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Honestly, nothing. They continue to make great improvements in the "Home" page and the ability to filter results. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having to find content, resources, and even conversations that I swear I had. Their ability to integration with Slack, Zendesk, GDrive and CODA does it all for me. ### 10. Powerful AP Automation to allow finance teams to spend more time on strategic decision-making **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Transparency - Glean has enabled us to bring more stakeholders deeper into the vendor management process and provided them with a much clearer, real-time view of their vendor spend than we could previously. This has enabled much better decision making across the org and lead directly to cost savings. Vendor Management - gone are the days of searching folders for W9's, contracts, etc. we can centralize all of our vendor documents into one system of record that all relevant stakeholders can access. This has also been critical in managing against auto-renewal clauses in contracts and avoiding sunk costs into platforms we planned to move on from. Customer Service - Glean's CS team is incredibly responsive and helpful. They are very open to product feedback and you see them taking this feedback into consideration in their consistent product enhancements. Time savings - we have a lean finance team, and the automation Glean brings to vendor management, AP processes, and prepaid/accruals management has been like having another headcount in the fold. This has opened up time for our finance team to be more involved in value-add strategic decision-making across the org rather than data entry and maintenance. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Vendor intake - would like some degree of customization here, as some questions may not be pertinent and create some user friction while we may want to add some other questions important for our business/industry in the procurement flow **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean has enabled a much more efficient vendor and accounts payable management process across the entire organization, not just the finance team. Vendor owners are now much more deeply involved in the management of vendors and understanding why that process is important to the business. They enjoy the much more enhanced level of transparency into their department spend and can much more proactively manage their budgets. The finance team has opened up hours of time that is better spent driving important business intiatives as strategic partners rather than buried in data reconciliation and maintenance. We have seen significant cost savings from better vendor management across the org, particuarly around auto-renewal clauses. ### 11. Great Modern AP Automation Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Micah G. | Head of Finance and Accounting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Glean allows our team to have a process in place to review and automate our AP process, saving us countless hours. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Glean now offers automated accruals, which was a welcome feature originally missing. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean allows us to have a AP process in place that allows our stakeholders to properly approve invoices before payment. ### 12. Great Platform with lots of opportunity. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Easy to see what approvals are necessary and to automate the AP process. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** - Lack of approver choice (abilitiy to do one or another approver, and if one of the approvers approves, the other does not have to) - Prepaid amortization is only set up for one billing period per invoice. some invoices have multiple periods. - accounting details are set up for the vendor rather than the information gathered from the invoice **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy Accounting classification and approval processes. Invoice management ### 13. SVP Finance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** I mostly like their data analytics side of breaking down vendor bills, by line item, into an easy to use historical trend chart. I also like their OCR capabilities of reading vendor bills. It's highly accurate. Also there customer service is top notch. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Employee cash reimbursements are a challenge (i.e. if a receipt is sent to the inbox, it will pull the name such as Hilton instead of the employees name, which then has to be corrected) **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Efficiency of processing vendor bills at scale. ### 14. Glean - Great product to do more with less and provide greater visibility to vendor spend **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zach C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Efficiency: The tool automatically brings in and codes our invoices and pulls out relevant data, saving both time and personnel costs and allowing us to focus on higher-value initiatives to benefit our organization Cost: Much cheaper than adding a dedicated AP clerk and/or using other AP platforms that don't provide half as much benefit Automation: The prepaid amortization functionality and automated accruals help cut down on otherwise cumbersome manual workflows and make sure we don't miss anything in our close Visibility: Allowing each department and vendor approval to see historical trends and overall spend is so helpful in allowing them to build their budgets, better understand the source of increases/decreases, and overall monitor their vendors. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Not a dislike, but a current limitation is that they don't (yet) support credit card programs. Once they are able to import/integrate with card programs to truly have all vendor spending in one place, they will be a must-have software for all accounting/finance teams. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean is solving invoice automation, manual entries associated with invoice cut off issues (accruals/prepaids), invoice approval workflows and controls, and company wide visibility and tracking of vendor spend. ### 15. Simple and Effective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** -Extremely easy to use -Incredible support response times -Ease of integration -All of the standard accounting features included (custom field mapping, prepaid amort, etc) **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Not a true dislke but they're still rolling out some better reporting to help streamline the w9 collection process to help with 1099 reporting at year end. They're moving in the right direction with some of the features on their roadmap. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automating the invoice collection process and payment process. ### 16. Glean is like growing your team by 1-2 for a fraction of the cost **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian W. | Head of Finance and Business Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Collaboration: Glean has gotten our communication about invoice review out from walled gardens like Slack or email into a purpose-built tool (one that is 100x better than the rest of the incumbents and new entrants). Vendor management: We used to maintain a spreadsheet of all of our SaaS vendors and key contract terms. With Glean, that is unnecessary. Not only can we track these details, it also provides proactive notifications and reminders. Procurement: Their standard procurement workflow is great for getting companies started with a formal procurement process (spend request, terms review, etc.) Analytics: The app provides easy access to spending history and invoice insights. Their periodic benchmarking and analytics emails are super helpful as well. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Procurement: We have a very thoughtful procurement process, one that goes a bit further and cannot (yet) be built out in Glean. That said, they seem to have plans to get the product there in the near future. Full spend: I truly wish we could use Glean to track our corporate credit card and reimbursable spend. But I have faith that they'll get there. Until then, there are plenty of (mediocre) spend management tools that can help with that piece of the puzzle. Budget tracking: We use a FP&A tool and it would be great if we could pull our vendor level forecast from that into Glean to track actual spend vs forecast/plan. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automation of procurement (vendor requests, term review), vendor contract term reporting (upcoming renewals, auto-renewals, etc.) , and AP automation (invoice review, approval, and payment) ### 17. Responsive & High Touch Team. Great product w/bright future **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fuad E. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** The Glean team is very receptive to product feedback and is quick to act on the input. Very excited for upcoming features that will allow us to have a comprehensive view of expenses across AP & external sources which will help optimize our FP&A forecasting & accrual processes. It is clear from conversations with the Glean team that they plan to consistently add new features to make Glean a central expense hub while still optimizing for the core product. Additionally, the ability to set reminders for contract renewal dates helps us keep tabs on vendor agreements and ensure we act in a timely manner w/r/t negotiations. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Lack of SSO for logging prevents us from centralizing logins **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean helps us centralize key documents (i.e. invoices) for key reviews such as audit & internal controls & allows for a collaborative approval workflow (and the ability for cross functional partners to track their team's spend). Also, Glean helps us make our month end close processes more efficient by directly booking entries such as prepaids. ### 18. Huge upgrade from BILL **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nader B. | Head of Finance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** We have a dedicated support person for any issues that arise. Customization is factored in, where it wasn't with our previous AP partner. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** International wire processing could be faster. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Autoscanning of invoices to ensure no bills are missed. Sync with NetSuite works great. ### 19. Simple, powerful, and truly cutting edge **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Glean has all the features you need (and even many I never realized I needed) but is still super simple to use. Their support is amazing though I rarely need it because the software is designed so well and they really automate so many of the things I used to have to do manually. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** As a bill.com user for so many years (which was SOOOOO painful) I can't find anything I dislike about Glean. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** By automating our AP and spend management, Glean reduces the time our team spends doing many repetitive tasks and let's use focus on more value added tasks. Vendors also complemented us on how streamlined our AP processes are. ### 20. Glean is an easy way to simplify paying bills **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** The fact that invoices are placed with saved vendors and specific details so i don't have to repeat steps **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** Not all information is used/gleaned even when documentation is uploaded **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** automation of invoicing and approval process ### 21. I really appreciate the invoice ingestion! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** I have experience with multiple AP automation vendors, and Glean is by far the best in terms of invoice ingestion and usability. I changed from another vendor seamlessly in one accounting period. Their support group was easy to work with, and it integrated seamlessly with QBO. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** I didn't really see any significant downside. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easily input invoices, saving time of AP clerical staff to refocus their efforts on more value added analysis. ### 22. Glean - outstanding AP product for Finance Teams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** I have liked the following in using Glean: - Smooth transition from bill.com: In less than a week we were up and running with support from our Cassie in CS. - Saves time: the process of a bill being submitted to our AP inbox, the bill being automatically uploaded into glean, the invoice details being read, and auto routed to the approver has saved us 50% of a full-time headcount cost (and not to mention reduced mistakes). - Easy to use UI: I felt like when we were using bill.com it was like going into an accounting software. With glean - the carts and interface is very easy to use so that both the finance team and budget owners can find information very quickly. - Gleans allow us to be on track of our vendors and have a baseline for contract negotiations - which has already saved us a significant amount of money on software contracts - The automation on accruals and prepaids is saving us additional time in the close - the company is dead on in finding the pain points and manaul financial processes and automating. Overall, Our finance team has been very pleased with Glean and has provided us with a strong ROI in terms of time and dollars saved. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** There was a brief period of time where the software was slightly laggy for a couple of days - but the Company has since upgraded their servers and this is no longer an issue. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Glean is solving the accounting automation issue and has benefitted us through $ and cost savings (see "why I like Glean" section) ### 23. insightful and smart AP **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** Automated gleans tell me why a bill is greater or less than it was previously, when we are over/under budget, when we've removed or increased seat counts or applicable consumption metric related to the vendor bill. automated amortization and accruals has been a game changer. makes approvals quick and easy - love the ability to drill down into spend and see spend by department or at the company level. **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** I have no current dislikes about using Glean or interacting with the team, they are helpful and quick to respond whenever we need anything. **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** Smarter spend control, better and faster month end close, visibility around spend, payment and approval of vendor bills. ### 24.

Puts me in control as a solo founder **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Glean.ai?** - Glean is quite intuitively designed; as a solo founder with a limited financial planning background, it's pretty easy for me to use Glean without getting frustrated or committing to a long learning curve - Automations make it even quicker (i.e. it pulls payment details off the invoice very reliably, as well as payment dates) so I can spend like a few minutes a week instead of an hour every few days getting payments organized - The intelligence engine, the "Gleans", are a helpful like discipline check for me; I've caught a few invoices that didn't make sense or were too high by glancing at the Gleans **What do you dislike about Glean.ai?** - It's early and they seem to ship new features frequently; I'm excited for more automation and for improved delegation to Dept. heads and team leads **What problems is Glean.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Staying in control and disciplined about finance as an early-stage company, without hiring a finance team - [View Glean.ai pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/glean-ai/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+16%3A26%3A17+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=d3b7adde-f4cc-4cb6-bd4d-d52e873c75f7&secure%5Btoken%5D=e192a811318ed01b4341f180b9b3287a2ec44e888b5c63de7f769b87a527e480&format=llm_user) ## Glean.ai Features **Invoice Management** - Capture - Repository **Invoice Generation** - Digital Invoices - Recurring Invoices **Agentic AI - Accounting & Finance** - Autonomous Task Execution **Invoice Processing** - Matching - Payments - Workflows - Tax Compliance **Invoice Processing** - Approvals - Batch Processing - Consolidation **Analytics** - Due Dates - Benchmarking - KPIs **Analytics** - Due Dates - Cashflow - KPIs - Payment Tracking **Integration** - Accounting - Payment Integration - ERP **Integration** - Accounting - Payments - ERP - Account Sync **Agentic AI - Invoice Management** - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance **Risk** - Analysis - Identification - Scoring **Recovery** - Recoup - Reporting **Audit** - Filters - Post Audits - Overpayments - Duplicates **Fraud** - Vendor Checks - Data Generation - Monitoring **Agentic AI - AP Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Glean.ai Alternatives - [BILL AP/AR](https://www.g2.com/products/bill-ap-ar/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,778 reviews) - [Stampli](https://www.g2.com/products/stampli/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,913 reviews) - [Ramp](https://www.g2.com/products/ramp-financial-ramp/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (2,392 reviews)
