Torii vs Top SaaS Management Platforms

Point solutions like Productiv, Zylo, and BetterCloud each focus on one area—spend tracking, provisioning, or IT workflows. But without complete discovery, usage visibility, or true cross-team automation, they leave major gaps in control. Torii unifies every app, user, and dollar—so every team can take action with confidence.

What Other Tools Miss

Point tools are strong at what they were built for—but each one leaves critical gaps behind:

Shadow IT Discovery

Detects every app, user, and expense- Shadow IT, AI, and Desktop tools inlcuded

Expense + SSO only—misses Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop tools

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

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

Usage Visibility & Reporting

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

Contract-only visibility—no tie to actual usage

Basic login activity - no understanding of app usage or value

Basic login activity from core apps only—no license/usage context or optimization signals

License Reclamation

Automated workflows based on actual usage, not just logins

Available but limited—requires manual setup and lacks actionable usage data for automation

Manual or script-based optimization—no automation across the full stack

Manual or script-based optimization—no automation across the full stack

Renewal Intelligence

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

Strong contract data, but misses usage and Shadow IT—making optimization incomplete

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

Spend tracking only—no usage-based benchmarks, forecasts, or optimization insights

Workflow Coverage

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

Partial coverage—some license workflows but lacks Shadow IT discovery and usage visibility critical for governance

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

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

Built for Every Team

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

Procurement-centric—other stakeholders lack access or context

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

Built for IT Admins—other stakeholders lack context and/or technical abilities

Time-to-Value

Weeks to value—no implementation overhead or professional services required

Months to value—technical setup required; Professional services recommended

Months to value - heavy reliance on professional services for implementation and ongoing use.

Months to value- custom scripts and heavy IT lift delay implementation

Customer Support

Included CSM and hands-on support at no extra cost

Professional services-heavy, added fees for support

Dependent on professional services for implementation and ongoing management

Dedicated rep included, but support is automation-focused—not a strategic SaaS partner

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.

Questions to Ask in Your Evaluation

Ask these on your next call with an SaaS Management vendor:
Question
Why It Matters
Platform Coverage & Capabilities

How do you discover Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop apps?

Most tools rely on just one or two discovery sources—catching only known or sanctioned apps. That leaves Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and desktop software hidden and unmanaged. Torii uses multi-source discovery to uncover every app, user, and dollar.

Platform Coverage & Capabilities

What does usage visibility look like—and how does it power optimization?

Vendors often show login data only—missing real engagement signals. Without accurate usage, teams can't see where waste builds up or take action to stop it. Torii maps usage to cost, license, and owner to power ongoing savings and smarter decisions.

Platform Coverage & Capabilities

What automation do you support across the full SaaS lifecycle—from access to renewal?

Many tools send alerts but can’t trigger cleanup, reclamation, risk, or policy workflows. That means issues get flagged but not fixed—leaving waste and risk to grow. Torii automates actions across license, access, risk, and renewals, keeping your stack optimized and secured.
Team Enablement & Strategic Fit
How does your roadmap serve other stakeholders and use cases they care about (i.e. Finance, Procurement, Security, and IT)?
Most competitors are hyperfocused on one team—like Finance or IT—at the expense of others. That creates major gaps in SaaS management, where key tasks like optimization, risk remediation, or license cleanup are left incomplete. Torii was built for complete, cross-functional control from the start.
Team Enablement & Strategic Fit
What can each team actually do in your platform—like Procurement, Security, and Finance- beyond viewing data?
Role-based access isn’t enough. Without team-specific insights and workflows, other tools limit impact. Torii empowers IT, Finance, Procurement, and Security to act on tailored, always up-to-date data.
