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.

Creating low-code agents has transformed policy queries and now saves employees hours daily
What I would like to see is an ease by which I can have different connectors set up. Right now I have to do a lot of back and forth in order to have these connectors enabled. Having them by default on the platform would be very helpful for me. Also, when developing custom actions, having a developer portal where users can track the log of how the requests are being sent to custom endpoints created would be helpful because right now I do not have anything of that nature. It is just a final response that I get and it becomes very difficult to keep track of what is happening in the backend. Also, the latency that the platform offers is a little high right now. What I have noticed is that on a particular query, the user has to wait a long time in order to get responses. If there is a way to reduce this time and improve performance by decreasing the time for responses, that would be very good. I believe that the latency offered is a little high right now. If I can get prompt responses quickly, then that would be a real user experience enhancement. Also, what I have noticed is the problem that developers face when creating custom actions in Glean Platform, where we are not able to keep track of what is happening in the backend. A logger of sorts would be very good so that I can maintain an idea of what is happening in the backend. If that issue is resolved, along with also the issue of having custom connectors available from the start rather than going to Glean Platform and having conversations about the thing, then it would be very good. If these issues are resolved, then it would be a strong 10 out of 10 from me. But as of now, it will be an 8 out of 10. Glean Platform is a very capable platform. It is good for indexing documents and reducing manual workflows by incorporating an element of AI in it. Business usage can be increased as well. The one caveat is if there are developers who are creating actions on Glean Platform, then I must keep an eye on the logging that I have for the platform because interacting with the backend systems becomes very difficult using Glean Platform. Also, what I have noticed is that it is a real challenge in terms of latency as some of the responses may take a little while to load. However, what I have noticed is that the responses are usually very accurate, and so it is a trade-off between speed and accuracy. This is what I would advise to someone who is looking at Glean Platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its AI is highly accurate and reliable for understanding customer intent, answering common questions, and providing consistent responses with minimal errors."
"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 offers agentic workflow as its best feature, providing the agent capability to personalize customer support and making customer success operations easier."
"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."
"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."
"Productivity has really skyrocketed."
"Glean Platform has positively impacted my organization by speeding up a lot of repetitive tasks and making it easier for people outside of support to understand what kind of issues impact the support groups."
"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."
"Glean Platform has increased productivity by at least one hundred hours per week for my organization."
"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."
"Life became so easy when we started using Glean Platform."
"I have used many solutions, but Glean Platform is the best, and I would truly appreciate it if everyone considers this platform."
"When I searched for internal information spread across different systems, Glean Platform did centralize and retrieve that data for me effectively, giving me eighty percent accuracy."
 

Cons

"I think Ada could improve with more flexibility in customizing chatbot responses to feel more natural in varied situations."
"I would rate this product a 6."
"Ada could be improved with better handling of highly complex conversations, more customization for AI responses, and deeper integrations with third-party business applications."
"Ada can be improved by being able to identify symptoms based on the age, and it needs to have more questionnaire options."
"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."
"Sometimes Glean Platform gets slowed down."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Glean Platform reveals limited options, and I wish there was more customization available."
"I tried pulling in an architecture diagram of a workflow, and it pulled in some other image instead."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, Glean Platform does not integrate with Teams, Microsoft-owned platforms."
"There are multiple ways in which Glean Platform can be improved."
