Glean is super helpful to get quick answers on various Questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the answers are incorrect and the AI hallucinates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall focus of Glean is more accutely focused on the user 'get in and get done', recognizing that search is not a destination, but a means to what the user really wants... the answer. Go links for short urls and quick recognition/recall, collections to create logical grouping and drive ownership and good points for data owners to currate content.

The verification system is another offering that demonstrates the understanding that as we move foward with knowledge management and AI, garbage in IS garbage out and companies need to address it with easy to manage and use user interfaces that favor clarity and ease (again, lets make life easy for users to encourage useful and frequent updates)

AI Apps are a game changer, the best company SME (Subject Matter Experts) are constrained on time and access so building an app that your best can keep updated and fed means your users can always have an SMA (Subject Matter AI/Assistant) on point and ready 24x7.

The support staff is engaged and interested in helping to build a better experience, while doing their best to help us understand where things are headed and why they are the way they are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Search would be improved with greater sorting capabilities, right now relevance (which is not clear to the user) is the main factor but it would be a relative easy addition to allow users to SORT BY date (Z-A or A-Z)

People, while hooked to identity management lacks some flexibility in manual overrides to deal with some user situations with off shore, contractors etc leading to some odd results or missing context

Generative AI is still new and transforming at speed and scale. Keeping up with that pace of change is a significant challenge. Glean seems to struggle with completeness vs accuracy as the development team works out how to contend with how much data the backend LLMs can accept and not miss context or material.

Analytics is a little inflexible but nothing that cant be fixed in the UI. Though you can download the CSV file and slice and dice however you wish, simply setting date ranges and getting clearer indicators that could help drive adoption or be useful reports to more easily email to department leads.

I like Gleans homepage. I frequently use it to click on items in the "recent" tab to have easy access to documents that I am working on. I also like that I can look up people in my company along with their tenure, location, reporting chain, etc. Laslty, I enjoy using the gleanbot to quickly find answers to almost everything. I have used other chat AI bots and this is the best one I've seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My company is very concered about security, so I don't think we are getting the full use of glean because we do not have everything integrated (IE slack and email). This isn't really a glean issue per say, but I wish my company would allow this. Maybe after glean is more tenured and trusted in the market, this will be an option.

Answers! In a large enterprise, information is scattered across thousands of documents, Slack messages, JIRA tickets and what not. Previously, Glean search used to be a great tool to identify these which in itself saved time) but still one had to spend a lot of time to understand and "glean" the right information out from the results. But Glean Chat totally changed the game, with the ability to provide direct answers, saving hours of work at a time! I ended up using it multiple times daily, getting answers more than 90% of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
