Glean is one of the most respected enterprise AI platforms in the US, and for good reason: it connects your company’s scattered knowledge and makes it searchable and actionable. But Glean and osFoundry — a “Hybrid AI Orchestration Platform” — solve different core problems. Here’s a factual comparison for a US business, with sources cited.
At a glance
| osFoundry | Glean | |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Orchestration: agents, automations, apps | Work AI: enterprise search + assistants |
| Models | Bring your own, any provider | Per-chat choice from admin list |
| Security certs | (confirmed in assessment) | ISO 42001/27001, SOC 2 II, HIPAA |
| Pricing | Via dgm: $399 / $3,999/mo | Sales-led, not public; ~100-seat min |
| Replaces other SaaS | Designed to consolidate | Connects & searches existing apps |
What Glean is
Glean is an enterprise Work AI platform: connectors pull in signals from 100+ apps (Drive, Confluence, Slack, Jira, GitHub), an Enterprise Graph maps relationships between people, content, and activity, and “enterprise memory” learns your processes — with Glean Agents layered on top for multi-step work. Its center of gravity is making existing knowledge findable and useful, not replacing the tools that hold it.
osFoundry’s center of gravity is different: orchestrating agents, automations, and apps in one workspace, with the explicit goal of consolidating overlapping SaaS rather than indexing it. A useful way to frame it: Glean helps you find and act on what’s spread across your tools; osFoundry aims to reduce the number of tools in the first place.
Models
Glean is genuinely model-agnostic. Users pick a model per chat from an admin-approved list — GPT, Claude, and Gemini models, plus models via AWS Bedrock — and Glean states it has zero model lock-in because it manages the provider contracts. One nuance worth knowing: that choice currently applies per chat in Glean Assistant and is admin-gated, rather than a global default. osFoundry is likewise model-agnostic, applied at the orchestration layer across agents and automations, not just chat.
Security and data
This is a Glean strength and a reason it lands in regulated US enterprises. It publishes ISO 42001, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and HIPAA, with zero-retention agreements with model providers, no training on customer data, permissions-aware access (models only see what a user is allowed to see), and deployment across AMER/EMEA/APAC in your choice of cloud, isolated per customer. For a regulated business, that’s a mature posture out of the box. With osFoundry, dgm confirms the equivalent controls against your requirements during the integration assessment, so the security review is explicit rather than assumed.
Pricing
Glean is sales-led with no public price list; third-party estimates suggest roughly $45–50 per user per month plus an AI add-on and a ~100-seat minimum, while FlexCredits meter heavier features such as deep reasoning queries. These are unverified estimates, so the practical takeaway is to budget a sales cycle and a seat floor. dgm’s pricing, by contrast, is fixed and public: $399 consultation and $3,999/month integration.
Agents and 2026 updates
Glean has moved beyond search into agents: Glean Agents automate multi-step work, and in May 2026 Glean added Adaptive Reasoning — which auto-decides how much “thinking” and which model a query needs — plus reusable Skills packages. This narrows the gap with orchestration platforms for knowledge-centric tasks, though Glean’s automation is still anchored to its search-and-graph foundation rather than being a general cross-system workflow engine.
Who each is best for
Glean is the stronger choice if your biggest pain is that company knowledge is scattered and hard to find, and you want a secure, enterprise-grade assistant over it. osFoundry is the stronger choice if your goal is to orchestrate agents across systems and consolidate the SaaS tools themselves — and the two can be complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
Which should a US company choose?
If your biggest pain is scattered, hard-to-find knowledge, Glean is an excellent, secure choice. If your goal is to orchestrate agents across systems and consolidate SaaS, then osFoundry is the more direct fit. dgm assesses your knowledge and workflow needs, recommends the right path for a US business, and implements it end to end.
