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.

The UI is good in most cases, but several friction points have emerged through real-world usage that require workarounds. The pain points are UI customization ceiling. When the team needs non-standard UI patterns, custom layouts, conditional forms, sections, and dynamic component trees, the visual builder becomes a constraint. Workarounds using custom HTML and CSS components are possible but slow and very fragile. There is no structured way to write unit tests for Superblocks logic. Debugging complex JavaScript flows inside the builder is cumbersome compared to a proper IDE environment. Another pain point is documentation and error messages. When an integration fails due to API connection issues or permission errors, the error message surfaced in the builder is often opaque, increasing the debugging time. Superblocks also lacks performance under complexity. Applications with many nested components, large data sets, or high-frequency refresh requirements show noticeable rendering lag. For an infrastructure dashboard displaying live metrics across dozens of resources, this is a real limitation. We have hundreds of AWS accounts, and when someone views the VPN topology or VPC topology of some of the AWS accounts, we see lag issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Glean Platform has increased productivity by at least one hundred hours per week for my organization."
"Life became so easy when we started using Glean Platform."
"With Superblocks, the full workflow submission, routing, approval, provisioning, audit, and deleting the access after twelve hours was built in under a week."
"The time and effort were saved, almost halved, and we were able to build the interfaces and integrate existing APIs more efficiently."
"The best features Superblocks offers include high-quality UI components and the Clark AI agent, which enables fast-speed prototyping and beneficial configurations for initial prototypes and large applications needing easy integration with various databases."
 

Cons

"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."
"I tried pulling in an architecture diagram of a workflow, and it pulled in some other image instead."
"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."
"Sometimes Glean Platform gets slowed down."
"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."
"I chose a six out of ten because, while the UI components and quality are good, the backend presents challenges and there are some limitations including fewer options and less optimal animations that could improve usability."
"One area where I think Superblocks could improve is debugging and troubleshooting complex workflows."
"Superblocks also lacks performance under complexity. Applications with many nested components, large data sets, or high-frequency refresh requirements show noticeable rendering lag."
