Substly

Awesome SaaS management and user survey tool

Kommentare: I think it is a greay product, with Substly you can get an overview of both spending and user satisfaction of the SaaS we buy.

Vorteile:

I really like the graphical user interface and the user survey function!

Nachteile:

There is some manual administration, but I guess it is necccessary depending on how our company is actually buying the SaaS.

Streamlines SaaS management and reduces costs

Kommentare: Substly has made it easier to hold teams accountable for their software usage and cut down on redundant subscriptions, giving us clear visibility into SaaS costs.

Vorteile:

It’s incredibly transparent; we can easily view the status of all our software subscriptions and quickly see which teams are using which tools

Nachteile:

The only drawback is that the reporting could offer a bit more depth for our budgeting purposes, but then again I can export the data and build reports myself so it's not a big thing.

Get alerted on your subscription expiry

Kommentare: Professional team, well-packed product, quick support response.

Vorteile:

Well-structured and designed UI, helpful support.

Nachteile:

Lack of integrations with external systems, Zapier or similar is a must have nowadays. Pricing structure and subscription cost.

Efficient and Easy-to-Use SaaS Management Platform

Kommentare: It’s reduced chaos in our IT operations by giving us control over software renewals and user access, which has also improved our cost efficiency.

Vorteile:

Substly’s ability to track renewals and notify us in advance is fantastic. It keeps our IT team organized and prevents last-minute renewal scrambles.

Nachteile:

I wish the interface offered more customization options, especially for displaying data in ways that cater to specific departments.

Easy way to get an overview of all our SaaS tools

Kommentare: Fast to get started and gave me the overview I needed. I especially like the shadow IT detection, as it's hard for me to follow-up on all usage, even though we are a small company. We use Google Workspace and that made the integration and implemetation easy. The product is pretty self-explanatory, but I had some questions and the customer support was great! I use this service on a monthly basis.

Vorteile:

I'm getting the overview of our SaaS license cost and usage that I need with very little effort.

Nachteile:

I would have liked to be able to track desktop usage as well, but it's not a deal-breaker as most of tools are SaaS.

Great Tool for Managing SaaS Subscriptions"

Kommentare: Substly has cut down on manual tracking, which saves our team hours every month. It’s also helped us identify underused software so we can streamline costs.

Vorteile:

The platform is incredibly user-friendly. It’s intuitive enough that our team quickly picked it up without training, saving us a ton of time by automating SaaS management.

Nachteile:

One limitation is the lack of a mobile app. It would be helpful to manage subscriptions on the go, especially for a smaller team like ours where we’re often multitasking.

Great Tool for Simplifying SaaS Management and Saving Costs

Kommentare: Substly has brought much-needed visibility and control to our software subscriptions. Before, we relied on spreadsheets that quickly became outdated, but now with Substly, we know exactly who is using each tool, which reduces waste. It’s also reduced our overall SaaS costs by highlighting underused subscriptions we could cancel, giving us more budget flexibility.

Vorteile:

The ability to clearly visualize all our SaaS subscriptions in a single, user-friendly platform is very nice. I can easily see where our money is going, identify redundant licences, and make decisions about our tech budget. Substly's renewal reminders and straightforward reports make it easy to optimize SaaS spending without any hassle.

Nachteile:

I appreciate the simplicity, but sometimes I wish Substly offered more detailed reporting options. Additionally, more integration options with our other tools would help us streamline subscription tracking even further.

Substly is easy to use and you get a great overview of our SaaS cost and helping us to save money.

Kommentare: The way we are getting the understanding on how much we actually are spending used to a hard work. The overview we now getting from using Substly has been really helpful and has helped us to save lots of money.

Vorteile:

Easy to get started and helped us to save money on unused SaaSthat we didn't know we still hade.

Integrations to more accounting software.

Get control over costs and risks

Kommentare: Super helpful team! Easy to get started and very responsive with any questions.

Vorteile:

Simple to set up and get some quick wins. Reduce risks with employees leaving as we know what accounts need to be closed.

Nachteile:

It's not 100% automatic, it does take a few hours work to get set up if you haven't got a good spreadsheet already. But really it's not so painful.

Helpful for tracking and controlling software costs

Vorteile:

I love that it provides clear cost visibility across all SaaS tools. We can now see exactly what each department is spending and make adjustments based on real usage data.

Nachteile:

I’d like additional integration options with finance platforms so that more SaaS expenses can be automatically updated.

Easy to use, yet powerful

Kommentare: It was easier getting started with Substly than we thought and the team at Substly has responded quickly to our questions. We discovered more SaaS apps being used than we thought we’d do.The off-boarding feature wasn’t something we had thought about beforehand but that has been really helpful as well.

Vorteile:

It has given us a more structured way to work with saas management. It now feels like we are more in control. The overview makes it easy for me to keep our [sensitive content hidden] happy (informing him about how much we are spending in each department has never been easier). I really like that I don’t have to chase down our department heads when it is time to do our IT budget anymore. Off-boarding employees is much easier than before

Nachteile:

Overall, it’s been a great experience so far. The renewal alert function is good but I would like to be able to receive the alerts in other ways than email. Adding custom fields would be helpful for us when we set up the GDPR module. I also feel that the system lacks some integrations for enterprise businesses, like ServiceNow.

Great tool to get complete control of SAAS-licences and costs!

Kommentare: Amazing tool!

Vorteile:

The ease of use and to get started. The low costThe great overview of the company's software licences

Nachteile:

I can not think about anything I do not like right now.

Makes my life as CTO a bit easier

Kommentare: Been a user for a few years now. As the CTO I’m responsible of managing all our apps and licenses. Using Substly has made that a lot easier for me since it lets me involve other billing owners without having to manually follow up on them.

Vorteile:

I really like that it allows me to have the rest of the team working with me to keep an updated overview of all our subscriptions and user licenses.

Nachteile:

Earlier I lacked som automation but with the updated integration to Google Workspace that was launched recently there is nothing I mislike.

Quickest way to get your CFO in love with a licensing system

Kommentare: We went from a super advanced Excel document with about 10 tabs. Pivot tables, imports from finance to supply users. Endlessly scrolling and making filters for tens of thousands of lines. From that to Substly just showing what we want.

Vorteile:

The fresh and easy interface. The always updated graphs. How quick we got started.

Nachteile:

Lack of SCIM, but it's on the roadmap and we look forward to it as integration to our directory will complete the journey.

License management made easy, for real!

Kommentare: I had fantasised about a tool that would make it easy to manage a multitude of software licenses and other subscription services. And when I saw Substly, they had literally taken my wish list and made a product of it. The easiest buy I've ever done.

Vorteile:

The fact that they focus on managing recurring license cost in a super easy and understandable way sealed the deal.

Nachteile:

It's not really Substly's fault but every service has their quirks, and it's just sad that such a tool have a hard time integrating into other services systems. That said, Substly have a lot of super useful automations in this regard.

Great value for money :-)

Vorteile:

Great value for money! The dashboard gives you an overall control. You do not miss any contract renewal or termination

Nachteile:

We are very pleased with Substly and need to work longer with the product.

Kommentare: Using Substly has given us a better understanding of how we use our SaaS-apps and improved our ability to manage software licenses, resulting in better decision-making and cost savings. Substly's overview feature has been particularly helpful in this regard. Additionally, the offboarding feature has streamlined the process of removing software access for departing employees.

Vorteile:

The short learning curve, the intuitivity of the UI and being able to share the same information with other stakeholders in our company.

Nachteile:

Lack of usage information from our AD in Substly. According to the team it is on the product roadmap and I look forward to trying it out once implemented.

Didn’t know what to expect from such a product but so far there isn’t much to complain about.

Not much I dislike.The usage surveys are a good idea but I feel our company is still a bit too small to get any major benefits from using them.The integrations I have used so far have been helpful to us but I would love to see more integrations.
