Long manual integration process: The initial setup is time-consuming and requires manual tinkering too.
Smaller applications library: The number of applications that Zylo can discover is lesser in comparison to many SMP tools in the market. Due to the lesser application library size, it is possible that Zylo fails to discover many applications.
Clumsy interface: The user interface may be confusing to some and may not be easy to navigate.
Highly dependent on Okta: If an employee logs in to different applications directly outside of Okta, then Zylo won't register its details.
