Substly

Vorteile

The overview we are getting.The offboarding feature is great.The simplicity of the system and the ease of use has been key to us to get started and continuing using the software.

Nachteile

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.

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.

Vorteile

It’s simple, affordable, and doesn’t have the unnecessary complexity of tools designed for large enterprises.

Nachteile

Some advanced features like deeper analytics might be missed by larger companies, but it works perfectly for SMBs.

Vorteile

The interface is intuitive and clean, making it easy for anyone on the team to jump in and understand how to use it

Nachteile

It’s great for simplicity, but sometimes advanced users may want more customization options

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.

Vorteile

The setup was easy, and everything from tracking to renewal management is straightforward, allowing our team to focus on higher-priority tasks.

Nachteile

Sometimes I feel it could offer more in-depth analytics.

Vorteile

The platform is very affordable compared to other SaaS management tools, and it provides all the key features we need for tracking and optimizing our subscriptions and licenses.

Nachteile

It could improve its reporting capabilities to provide more in-depth cost analysis.

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.

Vorteile

It’s great that the platform is designed for collaboration. Different departments can log in and see the data relevant to them, which makes cross-team SaaS discussions so much easier.

Nachteile

I would like the ability to customize access permissions more specifically for certain user roles.

Vorteile

I appreciate the compliance tracking features that help us ensure all software licenses are used correctly and up-to-date.

Nachteile

The only improvement I’d suggest is if Substly could risk-classify detected shadow-IT to further enhance our security.

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.

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.

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

Integrations to more accounting software.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nachteile

Would like to be able to receive more notifications from the system!

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.

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.

Would like a prizing plan for a small team with a lot of subscriptions, as a small team with a lot of different services there isn't really a super fitting prize plan for us.
