SaaS Management Platforms

SaaS management platforms empower organizations to address the compounding challenges of SaaS application and generative AI usage across the business that lead to overspend, elevated risk, lack of visibility and contract sprawl. This research helps IT leaders identify suitable vendors.

Market Definition

Gartner defines SaaS management platforms (SMPs) as software tools that aim to help organizations discover, manage, optimize and automate the SaaS application life cycle from one centralized console. Core SMP capabilities include discovery, cost optimization, employee self-service via an application store, insights to increase adoption and automation of onboarding/offboarding activities.

Uncontrolled SaaS adoption drives overspending, fragmented ownership and compliance challenges. Most organizations lack full visibility into their SaaS portfolio, exposing them to financial, business and cybersecurity risk. SMPs provide centralized discovery, license optimization, compliance insights and automated workflows to mitigate risk and improve ROI.
