    Incredibly robust software for an enterprise organization to plug into their application. If you have a full development resource team at your disposal, this is great software and I highly recommend it. Largely, however, you won't be able to use this prior to the enterprise level. It's just too complicated and cumbersome of a product.

    Based on my experience, Glean is well suited for scenarios where you need to search through large amounts of information in a structured format, such as Confluence pages, knowledge bases, or other similar repositories. Glean's search algorithms make it easy to find the exact information you need, even if it's buried deep in a document or spread across multiple pages. On the other hand, Glean may be less appropriate for scenarios where you need to search through unstructured data, such as messages. While Glean can still be useful in these cases, its effectiveness may be limited.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Azure Search provides a fully-managed service for loading, indexing, and querying content.
    • Azure Search has an easy C# SDK that allows you to implement loading and retrieving data from the service very easy. Any developer with some Microsoft experience should feel immediate familiarity.
    • Azure Search has a robust set of abilities around slicing and presenting the data during a search, such as narrowing by geospatial data and providing an auto-complete capabilities via "Suggesters".
    • Azure Search has one-of-a-kind "Cognitive Search" capabilities that enable running AI algorithms over data to enrich it before it is stored into the service. For example, one could automatically do a sentiment analysis when ingesting the data and store that as one of the searchable fields on the content.

    Azure Search is a competitor against Google's own AI autosuggest a feature. We went with Azure because our network security folks found it to be more robust from a security standpoint, which is incredibly important when you have proprietary manufacturing information. Additionally, we're a Microsoft shop so it plugged into our cloud hosting package and client facing OS.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • Azure Search enabled us to stand up a robust search capability with very few developer hours.
    • The fully-managed service of Azure Search means we get low cost of management (EG, DevOps) going into the future, even though the cost of the service itself definitely reflects the time saved.
    • Azure Search counts as a "Cognitive Service" for Microsoft Azure consumption and aligns our products with Microsoft's interests of driving an AI-first approach in the enterprise. Microsoft Partners, service and product companies alike, should be looking to align with this AI vision as it means favorable treatment from the Microsoft sales teams.
