Our take
As more products move to a SaaS model, businesses are dealing with an increasingly large SaaS portfolio that can be troublesome to keep track of and ensure efficiency of use. With hundreds or even thousands of apps for a multitude of purposes, a spreadsheet won’t cut it if you’re looking for useful insights. This is where Productiv has found its market niche, by creating a platform for managing a SaaS portfolio of any size.
Other similar platforms are out there, such as Zylo and BetterCloud but what makes Productiv unique is its advanced data-driven analysis offering insights into the bigger picture, to identify usage patterns, streamline SaaS services by reducing redundant apps, and providing data needed to encourage use of services amongst employees.
Productiv has the backing of several investors, and its service is already being used by big name clients such as Fox, Glassdoor, Kayak, Uber and Zoom. In 2024, the company launched Sidekick, an AI assistant for SaaS management which stands out from competing chatbots due to its domain expertise and ability to understand the "intent" of questions.
