You run on Google Workspace and want agents and search across Gmail, Docs, Drive and connected apps, built on Google's models.
Certant vs Google Gemini Enterprise
Gemini Enterprise is Google's agent platform for work. Certant answers from your documents with the paragraph attached, and can run inside your network.
Which one fits you
Your knowledge sits in long documents, scans and tables, answers must cite the paragraph, or your data has to stay in Australia or inside your network.

What each vendor publishes about the things regulated buyers ask first. Where a vendor doesn't say, we say so.
| Question | Gemini Enterprise | Certant |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Google's agent platform for work, formerly Google Agentspace: search, a no-code agent builder and prebuilt agents. NotebookLM Enterprise works across a fixed set of sources | Reads your documents and data into one model, with a knowledgebase, chatbots, agents, analytics and Strata on top |
| Where it runs | Google Cloud. Google says Gemini is supported on Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped, a separate product | Certant's cloud, your own cloud account, or air-gapped on your own hardware |
| Australian data | Australia is not listed for storage or machine-learning processing on the Gemini Enterprise locations page (updated 30 Oct 2026) | Australian region on Certant's cloud, or in-country on infrastructure you run |
| Citations | Answers grounded in connected sources | Every answer opens the source document at the paragraph it came from |
| When the documents don't answer | Not documented on the public pages we checked | Says it can't find the answer and offers to pass the question to a person |

What you get with Certant
Answers you can check
Every answer shows the paragraph it came from, and one click opens the page. When your documents don't cover a question, Certant says so instead of guessing.
Runs where your data must stay
The same product runs in our cloud, in your cloud account, or on a box in your office with the network cable unplugged. We published the packet captures.
Turns tables into data
Strata reads the tables inside your reports and agreements into data you can query and monitor, and every number traces to its page.
Certant reads Google Drive and respects its sharing permissions, so teams on Workspace can add Certant for the documents that need a cited answer without moving them.
