AI-Driven Spend Optimization
The platform uses machine learning to identify redundant applications, recommend license downgrades, and surface consolidation opportunities; scoring and recommendations improve as usage data accumulates.
Shadow IT Discovery
BetterCloud combines SSO log analysis, real-time browser extension monitoring, and API scanning to detect unauthorized cloud apps at scale, with dedicated risk scoring for unsanctioned tools. This multi-signal approach catches shadow IT competitors miss through passive observation alone.
Renewal Management Automation
Built-in renewal calendar, automated expiry alerts, and pre-configured approval routing (by budget owner, department, or cost center) streamline the renewal cycle. Integrated with many SaaS vendor systems for direct renewal data pull.
Deployment Speed
Rapid onboarding via SSO connector or API integration typically yields initial visibility within 2–4 weeks; lighter lift than traditional SaaS management platforms that require weeks of assessment.
Vendor Benchmarking Insights
Access to anonymized peer pricing and usage benchmarks helps buyers understand how their SaaS costs and adoption patterns compare to similar organizations, surfacing negotiation leverage for renewals.
Usage Analytics & Visibility
The platform correlates login frequency, feature adoption, and last-active dates with cost data to surface underutilized licenses and overlapping tools in a single pane; most competitors require manual reconciliation across separate systems.
Cross-Functional Workflow Integration
Approval routing integrates with Slack, Teams, and email to embed SaaS governance into existing team workflows, reducing friction for Finance, IT, and department stakeholders in the request and renewal cycle.
AI-Driven Spend Optimization
Zylo's algorithms automatically score licenses as underused, right-sized, or over-provisioned and recommend downgrades or consolidation candidates, surfacing savings without manual analysis.
Shadow IT Discovery
Zylo combines three discovery vectors — SSO/SAML login monitoring, browser extension activity, and API-based spend aggregation — to identify apps hidden from IT. This multi-layer approach catches both sanctioned cloud apps and unauthorized tools in a single pass.
Renewal Management Automation
The platform automatically tracks renewal dates with configurable pre-expiry alerts, captures contract terms (per-seat, tiered, usage-based), and surfaces benchmarking data on what peers pay, helping procurement renegotiate before auto-renewal triggers.
Deployment Speed
Browser extension rollout and SSO integration are pre-built, enabling shadow IT visibility within 2–3 weeks even before full AP/expense integration is complete.
Vendor Benchmarking Insights
Zylo's crowdsourced benchmarking database lets buyers see price ranges and negotiation outcomes for the same tools across comparable companies, reducing information asymmetry in renewals.
Usage Analytics & Visibility
Zylo delivers user-level login frequency, feature adoption scoring, and time-since-last-active metrics, enabling fine-grained license utilization decisions. This is richer than simple 'seats used vs. purchased' snapshots.
