Scoping the market?

Companies should consider sticking with Glean instead of looking at alternatives for several reasons:

• ‍Deployment Options: Glean offers flexible deployment options, including hosting in Glean's central cloud or in the customer's cloud account (GCP or AWS). This flexibility ensures that companies can choose the deployment model that best suits their security and operational needs.
• Security and Compliance: Glean undergoes regular SOC2 Type II audits, commissions penetration testing, and enforces strict security controls to protect customer data. Whether hosted in Glean's cloud or the customer's cloud, Glean ensures that customer data is secure and compliant with industry standards.
• ‍Simplified Management: When hosted in Glean's central cloud, the setup process is simplified, and there is no need for engineering resources to manage the system. Glean handles all maintenance tasks, including software upgrades, which reduces the operational burden on the customer.‍
• Cost Efficiency: Glean's pricing model is straightforward, with a fixed fee per active user per month. This model can be more cost-effective due to the amortization of maintenance costs on Glean's side.
• ‍Data Privacy: Glean ensures that no employee has access to customer data. Only sanitized logs and metrics are received to support the instance, and any access to sensitive logs for debugging is strictly controlled and audited.‍
• Performance and Scalability: Glean provides full auto-scaling as the corpus and users grow, ensuring that the system can handle increased demand without performance degradation.‍
• Customer Control: For customers who prefer to host Glean in their own cloud, they retain control over IAM policies and have direct access to logs, ensuring transparency and control over their data.

These features make Glean a robust and secure choice for companies, reducing the need to look for alternatives.
