Productiv vs Torii for SaaS Management

Productiv is built for Finance teams that want cost visibility. But without full discovery, real usage tracking, or automation, it leaves big gaps in SaaS (and cost) control. Torii unifies every app, user, and dollar—so every team can take action with confidence.

Trusted by the world's leading companies

What Productiv Misses

Productiv helps Finance track SaaS spend—but it was built for contracts, not SaaS management—leaving major gaps in visibility, automation, and cross-team execution:

Shadow IT & AI Discovery

SSO, CASB, & API coverageI only—misses Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop tools

Detects shadow IT, AI tools, and unmanaged apps in real time- without agent or overhead

Usage Visibility & Reporting

Basic login activity - no understanding of app usage or value

Real-time usage connected to license, cost, and owner

License Reclamation

Reclamation workflows exist—but rely on login data, not actual usage. IT must manually review tools to recover unused licenses.

Automated workflows based on actual usage, not just logins

Renewal Intelligence

Renewal workflows exists—but optimization relies on login data, not actual usage, creating waste.

Proactive alerts, forecasts, benchmarks, and usage-based insights—so you don’t miss hidden waste or negotiation opportunities

Workflow Coverage

Limited to renewals—no coverage for app reviews, access management, security, or cross-app processes.

Automates provisioning, cleanup, renewal, access review, and risk workflows across teams

Built for Every Team

Built for Finance—other stakeholders lack data, access, and context

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

Time-to-Value

Months to value - heavy reliance on professional services for implementation and ongoing use—custom integrations, workflows, contract uploads, and more.

Weeks to value—no implementation overhead or professional services required

Customer Support

Dependent on professional services. Without them, updates to data, workflows, and coverage stall.

Included CSM and hands-on support at no extra cost

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

Seeing SaaS isn’t enough. Torii connects every app, user, and dollar—so teams can act with confidence, not chase down spreadsheets.

Discover every app, user, and dollar — across browser, SSO, finance, and beyond—so nothing is missed.
Go beyond logins with real usage insights.
See cost in context—with usage, owners, and actions for continuous savings.

Automation That Solves, Not Just Alerts

Torii replaces alert fatigue with automation that acts—so you can fix problems, not just flag them.

Automate cleanup, access, and renewals—driven by usage, not just renewal dates.
Skip the manual effort—no backend fixes, no provisioning lag.
Stay audit-ready with activity logs and full system context.

One Source of Truth for SaaS

SaaS management isn’t just Finance’s job. Torii gives every team the power to act—not just ask.

Every app, user, license, dollar, and contract in one system.
Role-based access for IT, Procurement, and Security—not just static dashboards.
Shared data, shared actions—so ownership is clear and no one’s left out.

Why Companies Switch from Productiv to Torii

“Productiv helped us understand SaaS costs—but we couldn’t act on them. Torii gave us the workflows, usage data, and automation to actually reduce waste.”

“Finance liked Productiv’s dashboards, but IT and Security were stuck in spreadsheets. Torii gave every team access and automation in one system.”

“We had visibility with Productiv, but no way to scale action. Torii connected the dots between licenses, users, and spend—and automated cleanup across teams.”

Questions to Ask in Your Evaluation

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

Question

Why It Matters

Discovery and Visibility

How do you discover unsanctioned or browser-based apps?

Productiv pulls data from CASB and SSO—but can’t see desktop, Shadow IT, or Shadow AI tools. That means risky and costly apps often go undetected. Torii uses multi-source discovery to find every application, no matter where it lives—so nothing slips through the cracks.

Discovery and Visibility

What kind of usage data powers your optimization insights and workflows?

Productiv uses login signals from SSO, which don’t reflect actual application engagement. Torii pulls from multiple sources to map real usage to license, cost, and owner—so you can right-size licenses with confidence.

Automation & Optimization

What actions can you automate to reduce waste and risk—beyond alerts?

Productiv sends renewal alerts but can’t trigger license cleanup, usage-based reclamation, offboarding, or app reviews. Torii automates decisions across the stack—so waste doesn’t pile up and risky access doesn’t linger.

Automation & Optimization

What usage data powers license optimization and renewal planning?

Zluri reports on logins—not actual usage—which leads to overprovisioning and missed savings. Without true activity data, it’s guesswork. Torii connects granular usage, cost, and license assignment data to reveal waste and trigger auto-reclaim workflows.

Cross-Team Enablement

What can each team actually do in your platform—like Procurement, Security, and Finance- beyond viewing data?

Productiv focuses on Finance, leaving IT, Security, and Procurement with limited visibility and actions. Torii delivers team-specific dashboards, usage and spend insights, and automation rights—so every team can find issues and fix them fast.
