Features

Discovery of applications

Zluri app library has over 225,000+ applications. This is the largest SaaS library and discovers almost 100% of the SaaS apps in your organization.

The applications module in Zluri gives visibility into all applications. You can bucket the apps as managed (centrally by IT teams or managed by teams/departments) or unmanaged.

Visibility of users

Zluri provides a user module that gives insights about the users whose activity needs to be tracked. This is done by mapping users from their email IDs that they were provided by Google space integration. Admins can select the email IDs of the users they wish to track.

With this module, admins can mark uses for onboarding and offboarding and get visibility for groups, services, and external users.

Departmental application view

The department module helps you manage SaaS spend at a departmental level. This page offers details about the number of apps each department is using, along with the total number of users in each department.

Data shared with each application is divided into sensitive and non-sensitive data. Zluri also shows critical apps and critical users in the security module.
