That is the first thing to verify. Coveo should not expose answers from sources a user cannot access, and admins should be able to audit connector and permission behavior.
Coveo is useful when it can combine search, summaries, and source links across messy internal systems. It is not useful if it simply gives confident answers from stale or incomplete knowledge.
Use real employee questions and include restricted, duplicated, and outdated documents. Compare source grounding, freshness, permission behavior, and whether users trust the result enough to act.
Enterprise pricing. Treat any trial or demo as evaluation access, not a production plan. Check current pricing, seat limits, implementation costs, and renewal terms before committing.
Skip Coveo if this describes your situation: small teams that only need simple internal document search. In that case, compare Glean or a broader assistant before committing.
