Glean has become a core part of how I work with knowledge across the organization. I am a data and AI-focussed user, thus I rely on it daily to pull together content from many different places to provide background info and context to speed up analysis, documentation, and decision making. It pulls the relevant results and understands my queries which allows for improved efficiencies dramatically. I don't need to spend time pulling documents and sources of truth for the AI to understand.Read all insights and reviews for Glean

Algolia is a fast, developer-friendly search-as-a-service that helped us add high quality search to our app in a straightforward way. It’s very good for instant, typo-tolerant results, relevance tuning, and quick UI feedback for users. Implementation is quite fast due to solid SDKs and docs, and you can tune ranking rules to make it relevant to your business. At scale it performs well, but relevance tuning and cost management require attention: expect to spend some time fine-tuning and monitoring search behavior to get the best ROI.Read all insights and reviews for Algolia
