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

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.
PROSThe fresh and easy interface. The always updated graphs. How quick we got started.
CONSLack 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.
PROSIt 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
CONSOverall, 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.

Makes my life as CTO a bit easier
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.
PROSI 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.
CONSEarlier I lacked som automation but with the updated integration to Google Workspace that was launched recently there is nothing I mislike.

Best way to spend money, to save money!
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.
PROSThe short learning curve, the intuitivity of the UI and being able to share the same information with other stakeholders in our company.
CONSLack 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.

Great insight!
To see what we, as a small start up company, spend our money on is invaluable
CONSWould like a prizing plan for a small team with a lot of subscriptions, as a small team with a lot of different services there isn't really a super fitting prize plan for us.
