Why People Prefer Squirro



Security & Privacy

Squirro supports delegated permissions for flexible controls. It excels in environments requiring VPC, on-premises deployments, and model choice for complex use cases. Writer, does not offer the same level of permissions, access control, and deployment options.



Enterprise Readiness

Squirro is purpose-built for high-risk applications with advanced and scalable retrieval and compliance features, offering proven, hardened solutions used by central  banks. Writer is designed more for smaller-scale, low-risk scenarios, lacking the robust security and deployment flexibility needed for sensitive use cases.



Customization

With Squirro, you get powerful tools for advanced classification and fine-tuned information retrieval, along with agent-building capabilities. Additionally, Squirro offers deeply customizable knowledge graphs and workflows, which are content-aware and self-learning, improving automatically with use—features that Glean doesn't provide.



Knowledge Graphs

Squirro is the first fully integrated GraphRAG provider, leveraging 25 years of expertise of enterprise taxonomy and knowledge graph management from Synaptica. This integration achieves 99% accuracy and makes maintaining business knowledge easy. In contrast, Writer is still in the early stages of graph technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Writer truly secure enough for my regulated industry?

Writer can cover basic security requirements, but it lacks on-prem deployment options and granular access control. If you handle sensitive or confidential data, Squirro offers more robust security, real-time ACL management, and deployment flexibility.

How does Squirro ensure compliance with strict regulations?

Squirro's platform is built with permission-enabled architecture and privacy guardrails. It integrates with your data sources and ACLs (Access Control Lists), ensuring real-time compliance checks, role-based access control, and adherence to industry-specific regulations—ideal for regulated sectors like finance or government.

What does LLM-agnostic mean, and why does it matter?

"LLM-agnostic" means that Squirro isn't locked into a single large language model (LLM) provider. This flexibility lets you choose—or switch to—whichever model best suits your industry, data privacy requirements, or cost constraints.

What kind of ROI can I expect from Squirro's Enterprise AI platform?

ROI is driven by improved decision-making, reduced compliance risks, and enhanced operational efficiency. Customers often report significant improvements, such as 200% efficiency gains and a 96% reduction in time spent on critical tasks. These benefits lead to faster time-to-insight, lower overhead, and fewer data breaches—resulting in substantial cost savings and new growth opportunities. While your specific results may vary, these are the kinds of outcomes our customers are already experiencing today.

Secure Your Enterprise AI Future

Don't settle for a one-size-fits-all AI solution if you're in a high-risk, regulated environment. Squirro offers the security, privacy, customization, and accuracy you need to thrive today and tomorrow.
