Senior Qe Lead at Cognizant
Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.
Ananya Bl - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Analyst at Capgemini
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.

"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"Productivity has really skyrocketed."
"Glean Platform offers excellent user interface design and integration capabilities with other platforms."
"Life became so easy when we started using Glean Platform."
"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."
"Glean Platform has positively impacted our organization, especially in terms of productivity for both us and our customers."
"Glean Platform has increased productivity by at least one hundred hours per week for my organization."
"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."
"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

"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"The user interface of CloudBees is good but could be even more intuitive. Improving the user-friendliness of the interface and having simpler setup configurations would greatly benefit new users."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"A lot of stability issues are there with CloudBees."
"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"Currently, Glean Platform does not integrate with Teams, Microsoft-owned platforms."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Glean Platform reveals limited options, and I wish there was more customization available."
"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."
"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."
"There are multiple ways in which Glean Platform can be improved."
"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."
"I tried pulling in an architecture diagram of a workflow, and it pulled in some other image instead."
