Nethopper Enterprise AI is designed for organizations that want maximum control, security, and customization. You’re never tied to a single vendor, model, or infrastructure.
Nethopper vs. Glean
Choosing the right enterprise AI platform for your department or team isn’t just about features-it’s about how well the solution adapts to your business as it grows and changes. In this blog, we compare Nethopper and Glean, focusing on data privacy, customization, flexibility, and cost predictability, so you can decide which approach fits your organization’s needs best.

Enterprise AI for Work - Key Considerations
1. How does Nethopper keep my company’s data safer than Glean?
Nethopper runs generative AI inside your own company’s systems, so your sensitive information never leaves your control. This means your data stays private and secure, helping you meet strict compliance requirements and reducing the risk of data exposure. Glean, being cloud-based, processes data outside your company, which might not be the best fit if privacy is your top concern..
2. Can Nethopper adapt to my company’s unique needs better than Glean?
Absolutely. Nethopper lets you customize the AI to fit exactly how your business works. You can train the AI on your own data, adjust it as your company grows, and tailor workflows for different departments or projects. Glean offers strong search features and broad integrations, but doesn’t provide the same level of flexibility to deeply customize the AI or make major changes as your needs evolve.
3. How does Nethopper offer more flexibility than Glean for future changes?
Nethopper stands out with several key flexibility advantages:
Switch AI Models: Choose and change which AI models you use as technology advances.
Customize AI Workflows: Adapt how the AI works for different teams or business priorities.
Move to Different Infrastructure: Easily shift between cloud providers, on-premises, or hybrid environments without vendor lock-in.
Integrate New Data Sources: Seamlessly connect new tools or data as your organization grows.
With Glean, you use the models, integrations, and infrastructure the platform provides, making deep changes or migrations much more difficult.
4. How does Nethopper help save money and handle growth smoothly?
Since Nethopper runs AI on your own systems, you avoid the surprise fees that can come with cloud services. The platform automatically adjusts to handle busy times without wasting resources, delivering reliable performance and predictable costs. In contrast, cloud platforms like Glean may see costs rise as usage increases.
The Bottom Line
If your organization values long-term flexibility, deep customization, and the ability to adapt your AI environment over time, Nethopper gives you options that Glean’s SaaS model doesn’t provide. This is especially important for companies with unique needs, strict compliance requirements, or plans for future growth and change.
“Nethopper lets you make changes to your AI - like upgrading, customizing, or moving it - whenever your business needs change, without being locked into one way of doing things. Glean, as a SaaS product, is more fixed in how it works and where it runs, so you have less freedom to make these kinds of changes later on.”
Choose the AI platform that grows with your business-choose flexibility, choose Nethopper.
