Challenge
As a residential and commercial services organization, we've encountered challenges in managing our entire SaaS stack. Previously, we relied on traditional methods such as spreadsheets to track our diverse SaaS stack.
However, as we acquired more applications, the process became progressively more time-consuming and challenging. We lacked comprehensive visibility into the applications utilized by our internal teams.
Our teams often procure SaaS applications without IT approval, making it tedious to identify these unsanctioned applications with zero app visibility.
Shadow IT was prevalent, yet attributing these apps to users solely through spreadsheets proved difficult for the IT team.
Solution
"CloudEagle's advanced SaaS management features provided us with comprehensive visibility, enabling proactive measures against shadow IT. By eliminating duplicate licenses and automating tasks, it saved us hundreds of hours of manual work."
