Mihir Raval - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Developer at Plutomen Technology
Strong typing has reduced runtime failures and supports predictable backend operations
The biggest area for improvement in Ada is ecosystem depth. While Ada itself is very solid, the library ecosystem is still thinner compared to Go and Rust, especially for newer cloud-native tooling and integrations, meaning we occasionally have to build wrappers or bindings ourselves, which adds some friction. Documentation and onboarding could be smoother, especially for developers new to Ada coming from modern ecosystems. The core docs are good, but practical examples around debugging, package patterns, and a modern deployment workflow could be more polished. We created some internal starter templates to shorten the ramp-up time, which helped, but better out-of-the-box guidance would make adoption easier.

Daily orchestration of complex ai workflows has boosted my research and automation capabilities
Orchestration primarily decides which agent handles which part of a task and manages errors, retries, and complete state while maintaining the workflow effectively. On the orchestration side, branching, looping, and human approvals support non-linear workflows in production environments with real-time access. Through refined and improved prompts, this helps in closing the loop with actual users. One unique feature that stood out is that every step in the workflow can pause or recover from failures. Instead of finishing the entire agent in one go, this approach is interesting because if there is a minor change in a previously completed step regarding the state, I can re-edit and restart from the beginning. This is truly impressive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ada is a very solid tool overall; it effectively handles repetitive customer questions and improves response speed."
"Overall, Ada delivers exactly where we need it: reliability, predictability, and long-term maintainability, and in the right use case, it is exceptionally dependable and pays off over time, making me absolutely willing to use it again for the same class of system."
"I want to mention that Ada reduced our response time by 40% and cut off repetitive tickets by around 30%, which improved customer satisfaction as we noticed."
"Ada has positively impacted my organization as I work on the provider directory by re-routing based on patient symptoms to determine which patient should go to which doctor."
"Ada offers agentic workflow as its best feature, providing the agent capability to personalize customer support and making customer success operations easier."
"Since I have joined, I have built around ninety agents with Glean Platform, and it has saved our organization around twenty-seven hours a week for each user, and it has also positively impacted our ARR."
"The best features Glean Platform offers are mostly the view, which I think is very good, and what I find most helpful about the view is that the user interface is very good, making it very easy to chat with the chatbot and get all the material that I want in the way that I need it."
"The best features Glean Platform offers include the ability to create my own agents, for example, I created a self-service agent for my stakeholders, so rather than email me, I sent them a link to an agent where the agent asks them questions and drills down to exactly what they need, and then I get a qualified response from them."
"Glean Platform has positively impacted our organization, especially in terms of productivity for both us and our customers."
"Life became so easy when we started using Glean Platform."
"Glean Platform has increased productivity by at least one hundred hours per week for my organization."
"The major impact that I have noticed is how business users are now being impacted and they are using the platform because they understand it easily."
"Productivity has really skyrocketed."
 

Cons

"The biggest area for improvement in Ada is ecosystem depth."
"Ada is quite a good and solid tool, but one area of improvement could be more advanced customization of the conversation flows to make it more flexible for complex scenarios."
"I would rate this product a 6."
"I would rate this product a 6."
"Ada can be improved by being able to identify symptoms based on the age, and it needs to have more questionnaire options."
"I think Ada could improve with more flexibility in customizing chatbot responses to feel more natural in varied situations."
"I tried pulling in an architecture diagram of a workflow, and it pulled in some other image instead."
"Sometimes Glean Platform gets slowed down."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the licenses were expensive, and it was hard to convince the company to adopt based on that."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Glean Platform reveals limited options, and I wish there was more customization available."
"I chose seven out of ten because if I could upload PDFs and have them analyzed, or have it integrate with my Gmail and help me go through my emails, that would be very useful, but I do not think it does that."
"In workflow agents, I would prefer that we do not use AI in every step and instead we have a toggle button or something which can configure whether AI should be used in this specific search field or not, or in this specific node or not, because currently it's using AI in all nodes which sometimes messes up the output."
"Currently, Glean Platform does not integrate with Teams, Microsoft-owned platforms."
"Glean Platform can implement more models. The NLP creation could be a little faster, and while debugging is amazing, the routing also needs to provide higher quality outputs sometimes rather than extensive searching."
