    When I am interviewing candidates and they start asking specific questions that I dont know the answer to, I use Glean chat to quickly find answers. It helps save time because I can really quickly find the answers to anything. I think if leaders care about their employers, they would get Glean!

    Overall, IBM Watson Discovery is an amazing technology that we use with our clients to address various business problems, but the biggest challenge has always been about ingesting, analyzing, enriching, and searching huge collections of documents and allowing our end users and SMEs to be able to search for what they need to reduce the time and efforts spent daily on a manual search through various collections of documents. We have successfully managed to reduce manual work by over 80%, and now our SMEs are being used for the skills they have to gather insights rather than do manual work.

    Cons
    Glean Technologies, Inc.
    • The AI Chat can definitely improve. I will ask it questions about our sales process and it should be referencing documents that I know are in our company Glean, but it will give me the wrong answer.

    • I believe AI should be more flexible about providing data. However, it's understandable that you need to provide the details you need in a more specific and detailed way.
    • The interface could use more tweaking. Being new to the program, it was kind of hard to navigate.
    • Luckily, there was a customized feature of the dashboard that I could set up, and having something that you know where you are placed always feels familiar and comfortable.

    Usability
    Glean Technologies, Inc.
    I give it a 5 because of the chat not giving accurate answers and also sometimes I will search for documents that I know used to be in Guru before we had it but now it is no longer in Glean

    IBM Watson Discovery has the best user capabilities and easily transform business decision-making portfolio. The automation system saves time used in data analysis as opposed to manual research that consumes a lot of time. The visualization across the dashboard enables my team to interpret complex data and use it to make reliable marketing decisions.

    Similar to all IBM Watson and Salesforce product solutions, the overall support would be a 10/10. Their provided FAQ's help with frequently experienced issues and if still unable to figure something out, their customer service representatives are always super responsive. With instant chat functions available, it is easy to ask a quick question rather than sitting on hold.

    Discovery differs from its competitors due to the better ease of implementation and the high level of natural language recognition, it is equal in integration resources such as API and workflow or process pipeline, but it loses in the price for a high volume of documents and/or research. If you own or plan to use other services from the IBM Watson family, there is no doubt that Watson discovery is your best option. Another important point is if you plan to use a cloud or on-premise service (local server or private cloud).

    • We find its Enterprise plan expensive for a country of LATAM. For US or Europe based businesses, looks great.
    • A Big Data and massive queries based company would find the service expensive. Maybe a flat price plan would be helpful.
    • Have you thought in making a cheaper plan where you take the learning from your customer's data to enrich your AI tool?
