Thanks! The largest alternative to Captain is folks trying to build file search themselves. As mentioned in the post, it is a lot to manage.
The most similar product I've seen is Vertex File Search. They're hosted inside of GCP which can fit nicely into existing cloud deployments. Captain indexes from more sources (like R2 for example) and anecdotally provides faster indexing.
