Here're The Top 7 Binadox Alternatives
Below are the top 7 Binadox alternatives to help your organization efficiently manage SaaS spend.
1. Zluri
Zluri is an intelligent SaaS management platform that gives you a 360-degree view of all expenses in business processes. For instance, how much budget is allocated to each department for their operations, what is estimated spend vs. actual spend, which cards are used for making payments- personal or corporate cards, and more. Getting such minute, insights surely help you optimize your overall SaaS spend.
Furthermore, Zluri analyzes your business requirements regularly and helps you make effective SaaS purchasing decisions. This helps you avoid optional purchasing applications.
For instance, let's say you purchased 50 application licenses; however, only 30 licenses are being used actively. So, the business needs to pay more attention for the 20 unused licenses. Zluri will help you analyze how many licenses are being used and how many are redundant.
In addition, Zluri helps you right-size to a suitable tier saving on SaaS spend. For example, you are using limited features of an app, but you are paying for all the features. So Zluri will navigate which features are used the most in an application, making it easier for you to shift to the tier that provides those features. Thus, you no longer have to pay for functions that are not being used.
It doesn't stop here; before purchasing any SaaS applications, it helps you check whether the application meets the company's compliance requirements so that you don't end up paying hefty penalties for not meeting the compliance regulations.
Furthermore, it also shows the threat and risk level of the application, allowing you to restrict them to prevent security risks.
Additionally, it conducts periodic audits and generates usage reports of applications that provide real-time insights on how many users are actively logging in and logging out. You can use these reports at the time of renewal, which helps you make efficient decisions on which app to continue with. Besides that, you get renewal updates automatically and can set the alerts as per your requirement to prioritize renewals which is crucial.
