What is Substly?

Substly assists small and medium enterprises in managing their software-as-a-service (SaaS) usage more effectively by offering a clear overview and streamlining SaaS management processes.

The SaaS model has been designed to encourage increased spending, which is why so many vendors adopt it—it proves to be effective. Substly aims to enhance the visibility of these services, helping you sidestep common pitfalls associated with SaaS.

Through Substly, customers can...

...Gain valuable insights into their SaaS usage and identify user frustrations, allowing for thorough analysis, optimization, and provision of necessary tools for employee efficiency.

...Streamline their SaaS expenditures by revealing which services are in use and their associated costs, with proactive alerts for upcoming renewals to help eliminate unnecessary spending on inactive accounts.

...Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive company data by enhancing the employee off-boarding process.

...Facilitate interdepartmental collaboration to reduce SaaS sprawl and share a comprehensive overview with relevant stakeholders.

Users frequently emphasize four key benefits of Substly’s platform: its user-friendly nature, the ease with which one can begin using it, the level of oversight and control it provides over expenses and access, and its effectiveness in presenting status and cost information internally. Furthermore, this comprehensive approach not only fosters better spending habits but also enhances security measures within organizations.

    Simple to use, quick to benefit from

    Date: May 20 2024
    Summary

    It feels great to get a grip on the company's subscriptions and truly understand what we have and what we use. Easy to use product with a great team, always quick to answer questions and provide good advice.

    Positive

    Simple to get started and quick return on that investment. Cut costs of unused subscriptions and structure our offboarding process so we know which services to cancel when an employee leaves.

    Negative

    Takes a few hours to get your data together to populate the system initially.

    Easy way to get an overview of all our SaaS tools

    Date: May 30 2024
    Summary

    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 implementation 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.

    Positive

    Gave me the overview I needed for my SaaS licenses and usage. It automatically detects all SaaS usage.

    Negative

    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.

    Makes my life as CTO a bit easier

    Date: Aug 14 2023
    Summary

    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.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

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

    Best way to spend money, to save money!

    Date: Apr 11 2023
    Summary

    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.

    Positive

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

    Negative

    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.

    Finally Substly solved a nut we've been trying to crack for years.

    Date: Mar 16 2023
    Summary

    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.

    Positive

    Never seen a tool that focused on ease of use in the truest form. Managed to build a tool that could cover every different kind of license and subscription type. Time to usefulness is super fast, and have no tool or feature that isn't useful at first glance.
    The cost scales with how much you use it, saving you money as you go along. No large upfront cost, no setup configuration.

    Negative

    More integrations could be useful, and tighter integrations into Azure.

    Keeping track of all subscriptions just got (much) easier

    Date: Aug 11 2023
    Summary

    I highly recommend other businesses to try this product. It's easy to setup and the company sales support is amazingly good.

    Positive

    Substly has made the offboarding of employees and consultants much easier for us. We got a much better control over subscriptions due to Substly's software. We save both time and money.

    Negative

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

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

    Date: Mar 16 2023
    Summary

    We went from a super advanced Excel document with about ten 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.

    Positive

    The fresh and easy interface. The always updated graphs. How quickly we got started and was up and running.

    Negative

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

    Great way to keep track of my team’s software

    Date: Sep 25 2023
    Summary

    This is one of those tools you don’t know you need until you start using it. It forced me to become more structured in my approach. At first it was a bit tough but once I got the hang of how it worked I started seeing other benefits I didn’t realise from the start, like how it made offboarding much easier.

    Positive

    I love being able to understand what everybody is using without asking around as I had to do before.

    Negative

    For my needs, it is spot on. All the features I need are included in the package.
