Lumos vs Torii 
for SaaS Management

Lumos helps IT provision users. Torii helps every team manage SaaS from end to end. Provisioning alone doesn’t solve SaaS complexity. Without app discovery, usage, or cost context, IT is left guessing—and Finance, Procurement, and Security are left out. Torii connects the full picture so every team can cut waste, reduce risk, and act with confidence.

What Lumos Misses

Lumos is strong at provisioning and access control. But it was built for IGA—not SaaS management—so it leaves critical gaps behind:

Shadow IT + AI Discovery

Partial. Only sees apps tied to identity systems—missing browser-based, user-installed, and AI tools. Shadow IT and Shadow AI stay hidden.

Detects shadow IT, AI tools, and unmanaged apps in real time

Usage-Based Optimization

Doesn’t track usage data. Without activity signals, IT can’t identify unused apps or right-size licenses

Real-time usage connected to license, cost, and owner for all apps

License Reclamation

Can reclaim licenses for offboarded users—but can’t optimize active licenses without usage data. Cleanup and right-sizing require manual input.

Automates cleanup across all apps using usage, cost, and ownership data—not just access permissions

Workflow Coverage

Strong at provisioning and access approvals—but no automation for renewals, license cleanup, or usage-based workflows.

End-to-end automation across access, optimization, and governance

Contract and Renewal Management

Not built for SaaS renewals. Lacks the usage, cost, and contract context needed to proactively manage timing, license value, or vendor overlap

Forecasts, benchmarks, and proactive alerts using license, cost, contract, and adoption data

Built for Every Team

Built for IT. Other teams—like Finance, Procurement, and Security—lack the insights and workflows needed to take action.

Built for IT, Finance, Procurement, Security—so every team is on the same page

Time-to-Value

Reported 3-month implementation and 10-month ROI. Fast for provisioning, but full SaaS value takes time—especially for Finance and Procurement teams.

Weeks to value—no unclear timelines, roadmaps, or shifting priorities

Customer Support

Dedicated CSM included—but support is identity-focused. Limited SaaS expertise and little strategic guidance beyond IT use cases.

Why Torii Wins: Point Solutions Fall Short— Even for the Teams They’re Built For

Point solutions aren’t wrong—they’re just incomplete. Most were built to solve one need for one team: Procurement tools track contracts, IT tools manage provisioning, Finance tools report spend, and Security tools monitor access.. But they lack the broader context—usage, Shadow IT, ownership—that teams need to act effectively.

 

Torii brings it all together—apps, users, licenses, and dollars—in one platform. With full visibility, automation, and shared data, every team can act with confidence.

Action-Ready Visibility

Most tools stop at what IT controls. Torii shows you everything—whether it was sanctioned by IT or user adopted.
  • Discover Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop apps missed by IGA tools.
  • Connect usage to cost, license, and owner to surface real savings.
  • Reveal redundancies, underuse, and risk in one shared system.

Automation for Every SaaS Need

Provisioning is just the beginning. Torii automates actions that save money, enforce compliance, and reduce risk across the full SaaS lifecycle.
  • Automate workflows across optimization, governance, and renewal management.
  • Trigger actions based on usage, license, and cost data—not just identity.
  • Automate access reviews and support audits with comprehensive activity logs and license visibility.

One Source of Truth for SaaS

The only way to manage SaaS well is to see all of it—and connect it across teams. Lumos is built for IT. Torii is built for everyone.
  • Every app, user, license, dollar, and contract in one system.
  • Align IT, Procurement, Finance, and Security with trustworthy data..
  • Each team sees only what they need to act—no noise, no risk.

Why Companies Switch from Lumos to Torii

Questions to Ask in Your Evaluation

Ask these on your next call with Lumos—or any vendor claiming to be all-in-one:

Question
Why It Matters
Discovery and Visibility
How do you detect Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop apps?
Lumos only sees apps tied to identity systems—missing browser-based and user-installed tools. Torii uses multi-source discovery to surface every app.
Discovery and Visibility
How do you track and manage SaaS costs across tools and teams?
Lumos focuses on provisioning—not spend. Without usage or ownership context, IT can’t explain SaaS costs, Finance can’t forecast or budget accurately, and Procurement can’t optimize contracts. Torii ties cost, usage, and license data together so every team sees what they’re spending—and why.
Platform Scope
What workflows can you automate beyond access provisioning—and what powers them?
Lumos’ strength is identity management. But without license, usage, or spend context, it can’t automate deeper SaaS tasks like license cleanup, renewal prep, or cost-saving policies. Torii covers the full SaaS lifecycle.
Platform Scope
How will your roadmap support Finance, Procurement, and Security use cases?
IGA tools like Lumos prioritize identity flows. Torii was built for cross-functional SaaS management from day one.
Platform Scope
What can teams outside of IT actually do in the platform?
Lumos is IT-led. Finance, Procurement, and Security don’t get the data or automation they need to reduce spend, eliminate waste, or manage risk. Torii gives every team secure, role-based access to the right data and actions—so they can take action with confidence and control
