How does Zylo's AI-powered discovery differ from traditional SaaS discovery methods?
Zylo's proprietary discovery model is trained on the industry's largest dataset of real-world SaaS spend and application data. This allows it to continuously find and categorize all software spend and applications entering an organization, regardless of the purchase method, providing a more complete and accurate inventory than methods relying solely on SSO or network traffic.
Can Zylo help manage complex SaaS pricing models like consumption-based billing?
Yes, Zylo is designed to help organizations control spend and avoid surprises with increasingly complex SaaS pricing models, including hybrid and consumption-based billing. It provides insights into SaaS spend and usage at critical moments to identify waste and forecast budget risk.
What is the 'Contract Assist Agent' and how does it streamline renewal processes?
The Contract Assist Agent is an AI feature that automatically extracts essential contract metadata into Zylo. This drastically reduces the manual effort typically required for renewals by centralizing and structuring contract data, unifying it with usage, spend, and real-world price benchmarks, enabling more confident negotiations.
How does Zylo ensure data accuracy and completeness for applications not behind SSO or with limited direct integration options?
Zylo offers 'Usage Connect,' a simple, no-code in-app connectivity solution for usage data. This allows for centralized data ingestion even when technical blockers, security concerns, or SSO limitations prevent a direct integration, ensuring a unified and consistent in-app connection experience without requiring technical resources to leverage application APIs.
Beyond cost savings, what other benefits does Zylo provide for FinOps teams?
For FinOps teams, Zylo helps set realistic budgets with data, eliminates waste from unused and redundant tools, and optimizes cost allocation across all business units. It provides the necessary visibility and control to manage SaaS spend effectively within a FinOps framework.
How does Zylo integrate with existing security infrastructure to enhance SaaS risk management?
Zylo integrates with third-party security data providers, such as Netskope, to enrich its SaaS application inventory with security accreditation, certifications, and risk scores. This provides a comprehensive view of potential security risks associated with each SaaS application in use.
