Frequently asked questions
- What are the main alternatives to Glint?
- Glint sits in the engagement category. The realistic alternatives fall into three groups: another product in the same category, a broader people platform that absorbs the same job, or a performance coach such as Sloane that works continuously between the formal moments those tools create.
- Is Sloane Labs a direct replacement for Glint?
- Not in every case. Choose Glint if you are deeply embedded in Microsoft Viva and want pulse-driven engagement reporting under one Microsoft licence. Where that is your priority, keep it. Sloane addresses a different job and the two can run alongside each other.
- How would we evaluate the two together?
- Pick one team and one question you want answered, then run both for a defined period. Sloane is offered to a small design cohort at present, so the introduction is deliberately scoped and we agree in advance what would count as a useful result.
