Zluri review

Zluri suits teams that see SaaS management and identity governance as one problem. Its SaaS management module uses a patented discovery engine and a catalog of more than 239,000 apps, classifies managed, unmanaged and shadow apps, and alerts admins and users when restricted apps are accessed. It also watches Gen AI apps such as ChatGPT and Claude. On cost, Zluri reclaims or downgrades licenses automatically based on usage thresholds, tracks contracts and renewals, and forecasts license needs and spend. More than 300 direct API integrations, a native iPaaS engine and SDKs feed users, activity, spend, roles and licenses into one data set. Infotech, formerly Info-Tech Research Group, has acquired Zluri, which continues as a standalone division, and its products are becoming modules in Infotech's CIO Analytics platform. That gives Zluri a large research partner, but buyers should confirm packaging and pricing, since nothing is published.
