What is Substly?
Substly is a SaaS management platform designed for small and medium-sized organizations (25–1.000 employees) and IT service providers. The system centralizes subscription-based services, users, and costs into a single dashboard to combat SaaS sprawl and "enterprise bloat".
Key Features and Differentiators
Multi-Source Discovery Engine: Unlike enterprise tools that often require top-tier SaaS plans to access management APIs, Substly utilizes a lightweight browser extension and IDP sync to monitor usage regardless of the individual software plan level.
Shadow IT Discovery: The platform automatically identifies unapproved software start dates and usage patterns. This helps organizations manage security risks and ensure compliance with frameworks like GDPR.
Microsoft 365 Optimization: The software provides real-time monitoring to identify inactive users and orphaned accounts within the Microsoft ecosystem. This allows for proactive license reallocations or cancellations.
Streamlined Employee Offboarding: The platform enables structured workflows to revoke access for departing employees. This process improves data security and can save up to 90% of the time traditionally spent on offboarding tasks.
Measurable ROI and Implementation
Substly is designed for rapid implementation, with most organizations becoming fully operational in less than 30 minutes. By identifying redundant tools and unused accounts, customers often address the estimated 25% of SaaS spend typically wasted on underutilized licenses.
