Glean alternatives for enterprise knowledge search

Start with the reason to change

You need a different connected-knowledge boundary, workspace surface, or action model and can test it against owned questions with known answers.

Workspace AI

The relevant knowledge and workflow are primarily contained in Notion.

Verify: Workspace and page permissions, connected content, freshness, source traceability, actions, and missing answers.

General AI assistant

Microsoft accounts, files, and workplace applications define the intended knowledge context.

Verify: Exact Copilot surface, identity and permissions, source behavior, administrator controls, retention, and region.

AI research assistant

A deliberately selected source collection can satisfy the research and briefing job.

Verify: Source types, import and sharing boundaries, citations, freshness, contradictory evidence, and answer support.

General AI assistant

A general assistant with supported connected or uploaded content is in scope.

Verify: Current connectors, workspace controls, permission propagation, source links, model identity, and retention.

Define the allowed corpus and the authority level expected for material claims.
Use the same dated questions and source expectations for every candidate.
Review citation presence, source authority, entailment, coverage, and inaccessible sources separately.
Test permission boundaries and missing-answer behavior before connecting private material.
Keep an editorial reviewer and a recheck date for time-sensitive conclusions.

Open the original pages before relying on a time-sensitive product decision.
