You can automate IT tasks like onboarding, offboarding, and more with Zluri. Zluri gives you complete visibility into your company's SaaS ecosystem; this helps to discover apps that are purchased without the approval of IT, eliminate apps that are non-compliant, and remove apps having security issues.
Features
Discovery of applications
Zluri app library has over 225,000+ applications. This is the largest SaaS library and discovers almost 100% of the SaaS apps in your organization. Zluri's discovery engine consists of five discovery methods; these are SSO, finance/expense management system, direct integration with apps, desktop agents, and browser extensions.
The applications module in Zluri gives visibility into all applications. You can bucket the apps as managed (centrally by IT teams or managed by teams/departments) or unmanaged. It also gives details about the approved apps, apps that are deployed centrally across the organization, and apps that are used by specific teams.
You can also mark apps with security or compliance issues as restricted. When an employee tries to access apps marked as restricted, they get an alert along with the SaaS operations manager, ITAM, or SAM—whoever is in charge of managing SaaS apps.
Visibility of users
Zluri provides a user module that gives insights about the users whose activity needs to be tracked. This is done by mapping users from their email IDs that they were provided by Google space integration. Admins can select the email IDs of the users they wish to track.
With this module, admins can mark uses for onboarding and offboarding and get visibility for groups, services, and external users.
Departmental application view
The department module helps you manage SaaS spend at a departmental level. This page offers details about the number of apps each department is using, along with the total number of users in each department.
You can keep track of the budget allocated vs. actual spend and reach out to the departmental head in case there is a huge difference. If the budget is crossed by any department, Zluri sends a notification to the department head.
Transaction visibility

You get the following details on this page—transaction description, transaction date, the amount spent, the source, and the payment method provided in this module. It also gives information about the credit card and the bank accounts used for each application transaction.
Licensing application data
Zluri provides a licensing module that gives information about all licenses, subscriptions, contracts, and perpetual for each application. In this module, admins can get data on vendors for each application.
Zluri gives alerts about the upcoming payments and contract renewals in the renewal calendar. This gives IT teams enough time to decide whether they want the app or not and strategies for the negotiation of any contract renewal.
Alerts are sent 30 days, 15 days, and one day in advance for contracts. While for payments, it is sent seven days and one day in advance. Further, you can set custom alerts.
Stay secure and compliant.
Zluri offers a security module that provides information about the threat level, risk score, and risk level. This module helps to keep all applications in the SaaS ecosystem compliant.
The type of data shared between apps and the SSO gives the threat level. Threat level, security probes, compliance, and any recent security incident related to a particular app contributes to the risk score. The risk level can be calculated from the risk core and is set as low, medium, or high risk by the administrator.
Data shared with each application is divided into sensitive and non-sensitive data. Zluri also shows critical apps and critical users in the security module.
