Best for	Mid-market and large enterprises Companies with knowledge scattered across many SaaS tools IT and knowledge-management leaders standardizing internal AI	Enterprise sales organizations with complex pipelines Sales leaders tracking deal risk and execution Revenue operations teams standardizing performance data
Pros	Powerful, permissions-aware search across a wide range of enterprise apps Proprietary knowledge graph delivers personalized, context-aware results Unified platform spanning search, assistant, and autonomous agents Strong governance with Glean Protect and existing-permission enforcement 100+ prebuilt connectors plus MCP support for extensibility	Automated activity capture from email, calendar, and CRM eliminates the manual logging gaps that undermine most pipeline data, giving revenue teams a more complete and reliable foundation. Strong focus on deal risk and pipeline health surfaces slipping opportunities and coverage gaps early enough for teams to act rather than react. Role-based views tailored to sales leaders, executives, and revenue operations mean each audience sees the revenue picture in terms relevant to their decisions. Enterprise-grade security and IT-friendly deployment make it a credible option for large organizations with strict compliance requirements. Recognition as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Action Orchestration and adoption by demanding enterprises like NVIDIA and AMD signal real product maturity.
Cons	Opaque, sales-led pricing with no public rates or self-serve signup High effective cost and typical 100+ seat minimum puts it out of reach for small teams Setup and maintenance can be demanding on IT given the access required AI responses are not always fully accurate and need verification Value depends on your tools being supported by available connectors	Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public tiers, making it hard to estimate cost or budget without engaging sales. The platform is engineered for enterprise complexity, so smaller teams may find it heavier and more expensive than their needs justify. Value depends on the depth and cleanliness of your CRM and activity data, meaning organizations with poor data hygiene will need to invest in setup and adoption before seeing full benefit. The recent rebrand from People.ai to Backstory may create some short-term confusion around naming, documentation, and support resources.
