AI Knowledge Bases

Sistava vs Glean

Glean is one of the strongest names in enterprise search. It connects to a large set of workplace tools, respects permissions, and uses company context to surface answers, experts, and related work. Glean has expanded from search into a broader Work AI platform with assistant, agents, and actions. It is a serious choice for organizations that want a security-aware knowledge layer across many apps.

Why Sista AI

Glean is enterprise search first. The defining job is finding the right document, the right person, the right answer. Sistava starts a step further: take the answer and do the work (file the ticket, draft the response, update the doc, send the email).,Honest concession: Glean has been built around enterprise permission models and large-org deployments since 2019. If your buyer cares most about secure cross-app retrieval at thousands of seats, Glean has the longer track record.,Sistava works outside the Atlassian/Slack/Google enterprise stack Glean is shaped around. SMBs that mix Notion, ClickUp, and Linear get a single workforce model rather than an enterprise search product.,Sistava is self-serve from $79/mo. Glean is custom enterprise pricing only.,Sistava scales beyond knowledge: hire a Sales Team, a Support Team, an Ops Team, all sharing the same memory layer. Glean is the knowledge surface for any team that uses it.
