Claude for Enterprise

Pros

• Governance goes beyond the Team plan, with SCIM, audit logs, a Compliance API, custom retention, customer-managed encryption keys, and US-only inference.
• Claude Code and Cowork are included, and PeerSpot reviewers report much faster product shipping and workflow building.
• Many integration options: Microsoft 365 apps, Chrome, Google Workspace, Slack and Drive connectors, and MCP custom connectors for internal systems.
• No model training on customer data by default, plus a HIPAA-ready option with a BAA for regulated industries.
• Can be bought through AWS Marketplace, which lets companies draw down an existing AWS commitment.

Cons

• Seat fees no longer include tokens, so all usage bills at full API rates and costs are hard to predict.
• PeerSpot reviewers name pricing, credit consumption and hitting token limits as their main frustrations.
• The 20-seat minimum and annual-only billing rule out small teams.
• Some users report occasional hallucinations or stalled responses on complex projects.
• Volume and committed-spend discounts are not published, so buyers have to negotiate.

Glean

Pros

• Glean lists more than 275 connected apps, so employees can search Slack, Drive, Jira, Salesforce and other tools from one place.
• Search results follow each source system's access controls, which lowers the risk of exposing data to the wrong people.
• AI answers include citations that link back to the source documents, so users can check them.
• Developers get Client and Indexing APIs, a Web SDK, agent toolkits and an MCP server for building on Glean.
• Its compliance certifications include SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and HIPAA.

Cons

• Glean publishes no prices; third-party reports put seats at about 50 dollars or more per user per month with minimums of roughly 100 seats.
• There is no free trial, and some reports describe proofs of concept as paid.
• Setup, permission configuration and relevance tuning take significant work from IT teams.
• Reviewers report renewal increases of about 3 to 12 percent a year and possible extra fees for premium support.
• Some users report answers that do not fully match the source data, and say the ranking is hard to customize.
