Aug 20, 2025
What worked well: 1. Search Accuracy - Intelligent to merge all org data, helpful if you need access to all org-wide details 2. User Interface is good - Clean, Modern & Easy to navigate. 3. Slack Integration 4. Permission- Sensitive search 5. Setup Time What's bad: 1. Limited Contextual Understanding - Misunderstands multi-layered commands, keyword-dependent search rather than true semantic comprehension 2. Lack of actionability - Provide links & info reference but does not support deeper summarization, Insight generation & task automation 3. Customization optimization on prioritizing, data display is limited. 4. Limited user insights & analytics 5. Gets a lot of times, Indexing & tag syncing lags, with complex prompts - it hangs your system completely.

Prompt search - Internal and outside company filter. It integrates with the tools in the organisation and is able to fetch results to answer your search query. One of the most useful features being an AI tool is the functionality to build agents. An Agent can be built on to automate your daily regular tasks which makes your regular processes efficient. Useful prompts/agents can be shared with other team members within the org who can benefit from the pre-defined prompt.

Sometimes newly added date takes time to appear in search results and the authentication time for the clean sometimes takes a little longer but it's very minimal and does not affect user productivity.Also, pricing may be slightly higher for small teams or startups

    Glean App - One search engine that gives you solution

    5.0
    Oct 16, 2025
    A tool that integrates with other apps in the org and helps find the resource with just a quick prompt. It has made life easy by searching internal docs/emails. It not only works on searching internal organisational documents but also has the option to open the search and get results from global sources. Great thing about the search is that every result has a reference link from which you can validate and refer to the source of the given information. This gives you confidence in the information being listed on Glean.

    It's amazing, a strong unified enterprise search across business tools like Jira, Slack, Confluence, Drive and many more. It makes it so easy at the enterprise level, making it internally knowledgeable, easily discoverable and reducing time spent.

    Outcome-driven onboarding, ICP focus, and built-in quality gates turn a powerful-but-complex product into faster, measurable value.

    4.0
    Oct 1, 2025
    My overall experience has been positive: the product is powerful and flexible, and when onboarding was tied to clear success metrics we achieved measurable value quickly. The main friction is the learning curve for advanced features and reporting customization, which can feel unintuitive without guidance. I’d recommend it for teams willing to invest in guided setup and align processes to outcomes.
