BA Insight's AI-agnostic architecture works with any platform: Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and emerging solutions. You can switch AI platforms, test alternatives in parallel, or adopt new technologies without rebuilding your infrastructure. Your connectivity and enrichment layer remain constant while AI platforms evolve. Sinequa's integrated approach provides comprehensive functionality but creates dependencies that may limit flexibility as AI technology rapidly evolves. The AI industry is shifting every day. Choose infrastructure that adapts rather than requiring replacement.

BA Insight inherits and preserves your existing security models at the item level. If a document is protected by SharePoint permissions, iManage access controls, or Salesforce security rules, we maintain those permissions automatically, with no new security layer to configure or manage. Users see exactly what they're authorized to see based on source system permissions. Sinequa implements comprehensive security features, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance, but adds its own security model that requires configuration and ongoing management separate from your source systems. Simpler security models mean faster deployment and easier compliance auditing.

As Microsoft's endorsed Copilot extensibility partner, BA Insight enables you to maximize your Microsoft AI investment. Microsoft Copilot typically sees only data within M365, approximately 20% of enterprise knowledge. BA Insight extends Copilot to 95+ systems including iManage, NetDocuments, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and legacy applications, making your entire Copilot investment work across all enterprise knowledge. This endorsed partnership means tested integration approaches, direct Microsoft support, and priority access to new Copilot capabilities. Sinequa offers Microsoft 365 integration but lacks the specialized Copilot extensibility framework and partnership benefits.

BA Insight offers transparent pricing with fixed-price POC options and straightforward per-user licensing, and no surprise fees for connectors or custom integrations. Total cost of ownership includes not just licenses, but implementation time, professional services, custom development, and ongoing maintenance. While Sinequa doesn't charge extra for connectors, its pricing structure varies significantly based on deployment scale and configuration requirements. Implementation timelines also impact TCO. Faster deployments mean earlier ROI realization and lower opportunity costs. Consider the full 3-5 year cost picture, including all deployment and operational expenses, when comparing platforms.
