Agent orchestration platforms compared

This post compares various agent orchestration platforms, positioning Glean as an enterprise platform that excels in cross-departmental orchestration over company knowledge and business systems. It highlights Glean's strengths in durable execution, branching and looping, routing, scheduled triggers, question routing, approvals, permission-aware context, and trace-level debugging. Glean's openness is noted for its depth of custom actions for specialized engineering workflows and its support for third-party agents and frameworks, including LangChain and LangGraph, via APIs, MCP, and 250+ connectors. The post emphasizes that orchestration is necessary for workflows crossing applications, requiring specialist handoffs, intermediate results, or safe recovery from failures, and outlines key features to look for: workflow control, state management, multi-agent coordination, security, permissions, approvals, observability, auditability, and integrations.
