Consolidating marketing content has streamlined sales prospect outreach and collaboration
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Glean Platform is consolidating marketing materials, as I work in DevOps Sales Ops. I set up this platform for the sales team to review material that might be useful for talking to prospects.
One specific example of how the sales team uses Glean Platform to find material for talking to prospects is when we had a prospect and Glean Platform was able to consolidate all the information that we had. That way it was easy to consolidate all the material and then create an email to send out.
What is most valuable?
The best features Glean Platform offers are mostly the view, which I think is very good.
What I find most helpful about the view is that the user interface is very good. It is very easy to chat with the chatbot and get all the material that I want in the way that I need it.
Glean Platform has positively impacted my organization by making it definitely very easy to consolidate a lot of the materials and easy to look at it all at once.

Glean delivers strong value, but better transparency, finer controls over sources, and smoother sharing would make it feel faster and more trustworthy for complex or high‑stakes work.

By reducing knowledge fragmentation, Glean centralizes answers across our core tools so I spend less time searching and more time executing. It cuts decision latency and ownership ambiguity by quickly surfacing owners, recent context, and past decisions, and combats version sprawl by pointing to the most current source of truth. It minimizes context switching and duplicative work by consolidating research and exposing prior work I can reuse, speeds onboarding to new workstreams by rolling up history and key artifacts, improves stakeholder alignment with shareable, source-backed answers, and boosts meeting efficiency by consolidating relevant updates and links, ultimately accelerating cycle time, reducing reworks, and improving consistency.

Connecting Search and RAG AI to elevate Knowledge Management and Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge discovery and enablement which unlocks producitivity. With an active statistic showing that users spend almost 2 hours of a normal day simpling looking for the information and personnel they need to get work done, anything we can do to reduce that time puts users back to producitive work or provides greater opportunity for work/life balance.
So easy to use and set up!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily access any information across our systems has been super helpful! I like to be able to see all possible options when either looking for information for internal needs OR when I need to share something with a customer. Really has helped me save time when searching or asking someone else.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes at the moment - glean was very easy to install and I was able to start working with it instantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me find the most relevant content for either myself or my customer. I always try to be proactive when finding material for either myself or my customers but sometimes don't know where to go to find it - this has really helped me save time.
