Pros & Cons
GoSearch
Pros
- The Free plan and the $20 per user Pro plan let small teams start without talking to sales.
- More than 100 connectors, including MCP and custom ones, and search results respect existing app permissions.
- Agents and workflows can be built without code and run inside Slack and Teams.
- The vendor states SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA compliance, with zero data retention.
- G2 reviewers praise its fast, accurate search and quick setup.
Cons
- SSO/SAML, audit logs, the API and BYO cloud are only available on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
- The Free plan's limit of 10 searches and 3 AI queries per day is too low for real evaluation by a whole team.
- There are few independent reviews: about 21 on G2 and very few on Capterra.
- Reviewers mention limited filters and customization, and occasional slowness or bugs.
- Analysts say its analytics and connector depth for niche systems trail Glean-class suites.
Workativ
Pros
- Session-based pricing with unlimited end users avoids the per-employee fees common in this category.
- Agents carry out real actions, such as Okta, Azure AD and Active Directory password resets and ServiceNow or Jira tickets, rather than only answering questions.
- Works inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where employees already ask for help.
- The security page lists ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, plus SOC 2 audits.
Cons
- When a plan's sessions run out, the agent stops responding for the rest of the billing period, and no overage option is published.
- The Business plan is capped at 2 agents and 5 actions, which pushes larger teams toward custom Enterprise pricing.
- There are few independent reviews: only a handful each on G2 and Capterra.
- There is no free trial or self-serve signup, so buyers must book a demo.
- A competitor's review reports that SSO, MFA and role-based access are Enterprise-only and that no public API was found.
