MindKeepr vs Glean

Where Glean is the better answer, plainly

If your requirement is that people can find anything across everything, Glean is built for that and we are not competitive with it. 275 or more connectors against our 29 named integrations is not a gap we are going to close by arguing about it.

If your procurement process requires third-party certification, Glean publishes ISO 42001, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and TX-RAMP Level 2. We publish how the system is built and operated instead: GDPR-aligned deployment, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, SSO and audit logs. That is a real difference and it will decide some evaluations before they start. Ask us directly rather than assuming either way.

We would rather put that at the top of our own comparison page than have you discover it in a security review.

Where we are genuinely different

Two things, and neither is a feature count.

The first is the trigger. Glean answers questions about what exists. MindKeepr starts from what is about to stop existing: the decisions and context only one person has ever touched, found from the record of work rather than from documentation, and closed before that person's last day. A search tool cannot surface reasoning that was never written down, because there is nothing to index.

The second is what happens at the edge of knowledge. When a question has nothing verified behind it, MindKeepr stops, names the specific thing that is missing, and routes it to a named person with a deadline. It does not produce a fluent paragraph that reads exactly like a real answer. Inside a company the dangerous invented output is never absurd, it is a plausible threshold or a plausible owner, and it gets acted on.

Where you can run it matters for some buyers and not at all for others

MindKeepr runs multi-cloud, on-premise or fully air-gapped, with EU and GCC data residency. Glean does not publish a customer-chosen deployment model on the pages we read.

For most companies this is irrelevant and cloud is fine. For regulated banking, defence, government and sovereignty-sensitive environments it is the first question asked and often the last, which is why it sits here rather than buried in a footnote.

If that is not your constraint, weigh the connector count and the certifications instead. They matter more.

Is MindKeepr a Glean alternative?

For knowledge retention through departures and transitions, yes, and for on-premise or air-gapped deployment, yes. For company-wide enterprise search across everything, Glean publishes 275 or more connectors against our 29 named integrations, and it is the stronger choice for that requirement.

Does Glean run on-premise?

Glean does not publish a customer-chosen on-premise or air-gapped deployment option on its security or connectors pages. If self-hosting is a requirement, ask them directly. MindKeepr publishes multi-cloud, on-premise and fully air-gapped options with EU and GCC data residency.

Is MindKeepr SOC 2 certified?

We do not publish third-party security certifications. What we do publish is GDPR-aligned deployment, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, SSO, audit logs, and the fact that your data is never used to train external models. Glean publishes ISO 42001, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and TX-RAMP Level 2. If certification is a gating requirement, raise it with us in the first conversation.

How much does Glean cost?

Glean does not publish list pricing. The glean.com/pricing URL redirects to its home page and the site directs you to request a demo. We do not publish list pricing either, so comparing the two on cost means talking to both.

What does MindKeepr do that Glean does not describe?

Working from the departure trigger to find decisions and context only one person has ever touched, and refusing to answer when nothing verified supports an answer, naming what is missing and routing the question to a named person with a deadline. Neither behaviour is described on Glean's published pages.
