Outmind and Glean are both AI-assisted enterprise search tools, but they differ in their approaches and key features.
Key features:
- Outmind focuses on intelligent search in internal tools (such as SharePoint, CRM, cloud, etc.), enabling information scattered across different platforms to be found quickly. Its interface is intuitive and easy to configure, and it guarantees total data confidentiality. Outmind is ideal for companies looking to simplify document retrieval with an ergonomic interface and advanced indexing capabilities. The range of available connectors is particularly well-suited to mid-sized structures or large enterprises.
- Glean excels in multi-platform cloud search. It integrates multiple tools such as Slack, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and goes a step further by offering proactive recommendations based on user behavior. Its interface is also very easy to learn, facilitating adoption by employees in large organizations. Some Enterprise connectors may be missing (Sharepoint Admin, Servers, Business EDM...)
Content creation and management:
- Outmind is purely focused on content search, and does not offer tools for internal content creation or management. This makes it an excellent tool for companies that already have platforms for managing their content. On the other hand, the integration of generative AI within the product enables existing content to be exploited and repurposed: for example, providing summaries, data extractions, specific analyses based on your documents.
- Glean, while powerful in search, is also limited in terms of content creation. It does not offer robust functionality for creating or editing content directly within the platform. However, it connects well with existing tools, enabling users to quickly retrieve previously created documents or information.
Confidentiality and security:
- Outmind is developed in France, hosts data in Europe in compliance with the RGPD, and places particular emphasis on data sovereignty and confidentiality. This can be a decisive factor for companies concerned about the confidentiality of their information.
- Glean is an American player, although effective in managing dispersed data, is geared primarily towards technology companies with needs in terms of integrating multiple tools.
Cost and team size:
- Glean is more suited to large, mid-sized companies with dispersed teams and a large volume of information to manage, but this can make it expensive and possibly overkill for smaller teams.
- Outmind offers a more plug-and-play configuration, making it a quick-to-implement solution for small and medium-sized businesses, while remaining effective for larger structures.
In short, if you need a quick-to-deploy solution for searching and exploiting internal content, with a priority on data confidentiality, Outmind is an excellent option.
Whatever your final choice, in both cases you'll benefit from high-performance search across multiple tools, capable of providing you with answers via generative AI.
It's not easy to find the list of features offered by Glean. To give you an idea, here's a comparison with Outmind's features.
