Getting the overview we didn't know we lacked but don’t want to be without

With Substly we've got a better process in place for managing our software licenses. The overview has helped us make better decisions and save money. The offboarding feature has made offboarding employees much easier than before.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

License management made easy, for real!

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.

PROS

The fact that they focus on managing recurring license cost in a super easy and understandable way sealed the deal.

CONS

It's not really Substly's fault but every service has their quirks, and it's just sad that such a tool have a hard time integrating into other services systems. That said, Substly have a lot of super useful automations in this regard.

Reason for choosing Substly

Time from purchase and actual usefulness was incredibly low compared to the other systems we looked at. Cost was orders of magnitude lower and when it came to ease of use, I've rarely seen a SaaS that's this simple, yet powerful.

Reasons for switching to Substly

The service was a perfect fit an actually empowered me, and made use of the information given to it to give me control.

Get alerted on your subscription expiry

Professional team, well-packed product, quick support response.

PROS

Well-structured and designed UI, helpful support.

CONS

Lack of integrations with external systems, Zapier or similar is a must have nowadays. Pricing structure and subscription cost.

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

We went from a super advanced Excel document with about 10 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.

PROS

The fresh and easy interface. The always updated graphs. How quick we got started.

CONS

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

Reason for choosing Substly

Cost, ease of use, perfect functionality. Not agent based. Very easy to get started.

Reasons for switching to Substly

Whatever system we previously used, it was a hassle in some way. We have looked for a system for 10 years. Tried to write our own a couple of times. But as soon was we saw Substly, we know it was the right thing for us.

Easy to use, yet powerful

It was easier getting started with Substly than we thought and the team at Substly has responded quickly to our questions. We discovered more SaaS apps being used than we thought we’d do.The off-boarding feature wasn’t something we had thought about beforehand but that has been really helpful as well.

PROS

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

CONS

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.
