SHARE ON:

Hey Zlurians! It's the month of the Olympics. So, Zluri has taken Olympian efforts to come up with the biggest feature releases this month since the launch of the first version a few months ago.

Browser Extensions

The long-awaited browser extensions are here. They will take our shadow IT discovery game a notch higher. 

The browser extension runs locally on the client-side to read browser activities & report them to the Zluri server for analysis. We then identify & analyze the SaaS application-related activities & present them on the Zluri dashboard. 

All our browser extensions are live in their respective extension stores. You can find the extensions for Chrome, Firefox & Microsoft Edge. However, to sign in to them, you need to have an account with Zluri. 

You can request a demo to see the browser extension in action.

Custom Sort, Filter & Columns

Data is easier to visualize when you can play around with it. Hence we have added custom sorts & filters to slice & dice your data. 

Click on the arrows preceding each column name & you will be able to sort the data based on that row. You can also filter based on any field you wish to, as shown below.

In addition to sort & filters, you also can select the columns you wish to see in the dashboard. 

Detailed Insights On User-App Relationship

Zluri now gives you more insights into each user-application connection. You can see all the user licenses, activities, risk analysis, and action logs in one place.

Reports

Zluri gives you a wealth of data to optimize your application usage & spend and identifies threats to make your IT environment more secure. Ever wondered if you can download the data to analyze it offline? Well, we heard you. You can navigate to the reports section and download the report you wish to. 

Security

Many customers have asked us whether Zluri can automatically identify risky apps & risk-sensitive users? Well, the security module is the answer to that. It gives you detailed information of what sensitive scopes an application has access to. You can view risk-sensitive applications & users.

License Contracts

Our contract management module has got an upgrade. Now you can add licenses to contracts, specify the unit & price of metrics in the contracts. You may add multiple licenses to contracts as well. Adding licenses to contracts will help you keep track of purchased licenses & their cost.

License Assignment

License Assignments help organizations track the usage of licenses. If the application is connected to Zluri, it will automatically assign the license to the user. Or you can assign this as a task to a co-worker or assign the license yourself.

Vendor Management

Another important milestone in our journey of helping you manage your SaaS is the new Vendor management module. You can now keep track of all vendor-related information, contracts & documents in a single place.

Pending Requests

Invited a co-worker to integrate an application but lost track of it? Now you won’t. Pending invitations will help you keep track of the sent request. You can choose to either resend the request or withdraw.

Last Sync Date

Zluri works the best when it syncs data with your applications daily. You can check when the last sync happened & trigger a resync. Also, we will notify you when the sync was not completed due to an authorization failure so that you can reauthorize the application.

Transaction Pages

Modifying transactions in bulk has become easier. Now you can select how many records you want to see on the page and take action (Mapping to an application, Unmapping or Archiving) on all transactions at once.
