Great tool for SaaS tracking and strategic insights
What do you like best about the product?
Productiv is a tool my team uses regularly to monitor our spend, deep-dive into application engagement data, and ultimately helping us identify larger savings opportunities from the analytics. Dashboards and interface is very user friendly and easy to follow. The data intelligence is next level and provides great strategic insights beyond just user logins. Their team is very helpful in doing the legwork of ingesting contract and spend data. The customer and implementation support team is 5 stars. Great experience overall
What do you dislike about the product?
After implementation and input of all contract data you need to remember to maintain the future renewal contracts manually unless you have a contract management tool that's able to connect with Productiv
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SaaS tracking and clearer visibility into spend
Rightsizing of application licenses
Visibility into SaaS user engagement to drive smarter negotiations and purchasing decisions

Great insights and getting ahead of your next renewals
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard feature is very easy to navigate with additional insight information.
It is very powerful to connect and aggregate datas with multiple systems and you can easily check on the spend analysis and contract info drilling down on the supplier details.

What do you dislike about the product?
The feature is currently not available and we are looking for a way that we can self-serve on entering/ updating all the contract metadata on our own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would be able to see the latest usage trend and 'right-sized' the license subscription.
Productiv's offering make it easy and clearly demonstrating the value for all business stakeholders that we can cut cost on the 'shelfware' being under-utilized.

Productiv SaaS Spend Optimization done right
What do you like best about the product?
Productiv has been immensely successful in not only locating our SaaS spend, but assisting us in reigning in underutilized licenses for significant cost savings. Through tie-ins with our finance and contracting systems productive has surfaced instances of Shadow-IT we can now address.
What do you dislike about the product?
Productiv has many application connectors however we are waiting on the new Okta connector so we can enable deprovisioning of apps directly in Okta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost reduction for renewals has been highly valuable. Additionally, right-sizing applications depending on usage has enabled us to reduce total licensing requirements further reducing our costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you set up all the financial system connectors to ensure you have visibility across your SaaS portfolio.
A source of truth for all SaaS contracts
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Productiv for a couple months now and it has been really helpful for bringing all of our contract data into one place as a source of truth. The team is very responsive to feature requests, bugs reports, and support. For apps that have engagement connectors, there is a ton of data provided to right-size licensing or for negotiations on renewals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike, but we're excited to see more connectors for apps that we use to track engagement and fine-tuning their existing ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have a repository of contract and other spend data all in one place that anyone in the org can access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to have all of your contracts available. They'll do the hard part of ingesting data for you and matching it with data from your CASb or IdP.
Productiv is useful for tracking the full Software Life Cycle applications
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI is easy to use, and the support is top notch. I enjoy being able to speak with my CSM to discuss roadmap items to continually add value to the service.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations for certain applications, usually due to the API but make some tools harder to track via Productiv. The ability to track spending is great but we do not have a resource on our side that has the capacity to upload all licensing changes so I do not leverage this portion much yet. I do believe changes are coming via the roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reclaiming licensing is one of the main perks from Productiv, which is continuing to help me grow and scale by automating menial tasks.
SaaS management and engagement analytics
What do you like best about the product?
SaaS operations management and engagement data insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great to have additional API connectors to cover more SaaS applications. I believe they are on the product roadmap for future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Was able to move from spreadsheets and extensive manual labor to a seamless engaging software with real time data. The tool helped us to proactively engage with the vendors to help right size our contracts thereby avoiding unnecessary cost to the company.

What do you dislike about the product?
-Not able to configure email sends on the platform

-Could use more granular filter controls in viewing applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Productiv, we can identify inactive users to reclaim or downsize licenses. This tool gives us concrete numbers we can use during contract negotiations. IT is able to provide Finance metrics that are actionable. Productiv also provides visibility into shadow IT. This allows us to identify unsanctioned apps, and take actions to promote sanctioned apps and secure our estate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not only does Productiv provide visibility into shadow IT, but CSMs are actively engaged to make sure you use the product to its potential. They will do a lot of manual work to ingest contracts, involve you in Betas with new connectors, etc.
A great product with a great team to support it.
What do you like best about the product?
Productiv has so far had a very very responsive approach to feedback, suggestions and feature requests.
I've greatly appreciated their transparent approach to not only onboarding us but also finding solutions to the challenges we've faced along the way.

What do you dislike about the product?
Like any new business sector, Productiv as a tool and business in the SaaS spend management space is still figuring out how best to serve their customers.
There are times where we (customers) figure that out with them and they simply didn't know we needed compelling feature X before being informed of it.
Everyone in the space is facing the same challenge and given the pace of production, I'm certain the tool will be incredibly more polished and mature every time I'm asked for my opinion on it.

Spend management, by way of transparent allocation, provisioning and utilisation in format IT, internal budget approvers and finance can see.
We can then compare those data points against historic use, overlaid against our current contract spend and term along with a recommendation for what our rationalised spend should be. All without lifting a finger, as Productiv does this all off the bat.
If/When out finance or IT team wish to get more granular, we can absolutely do that too, down to a user level to aid forecasting, negotiations, execution and then subsequent renewal of a contract.

Productiv - A visionary in enterprise SaaS management platform and more
What do you like best about the product?
Before Productiv, my team used to maintain all the enterprise apps in an excel file. With the fast-paced work environment, the information in the excel becomes obsolete fast and requires a lot of coordination to keep it up to date. Multiple people editing the excel file also created data quality issues. With Productiv, we were finally able to retire the dreaded spreadsheet and now my team can focus on the following things than focus on keeping the excel file up to date where license-related information is not maintained,
1. Data Insights the app offers on license recommendation, benchmarking of contracts, apps comparison, etc
2. Productiv continuously working to expand its landscape to add more connectors to enterprise SaaS applications. We started with 5 connectors and in a year we have about 15 connected apps with Productiv
3. Adding HR, IT Spend data from ERP and expense management systems to apps is a game-changer and provide valuable insights on app management
4. User/Teams Engagement - Adoption of a tool vs plan to retire a tool
3. System generated reminders on renewals on a 90, 60, 30, and weekly reminders give relief on not miss any renewal or non-renewals. Since Productiv is in place, we have seen tremendous improvement in renewing apps ahead of time or on time.
4. App Comparison - comes in handy when we try to consolidate applications that offer similar capabilities potentially leading to cost savings
5. Our org went through an M&A and Productiv was a guinea pig in many of the consolidation efforts and Productiv team always available and offered to step in when needed. Productiv is a great customer-friendly organization to work with.

What do you dislike about the product?
Like every new SaaS product in the market, Productiv is continually thriving to add more features and functionality and extremely receptive to its customers. A number of the features that my team looking for like application sunset, reporting options are already addressed in Productiv's roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have covered this in the "what do you like best?" section. To quickly summarize,
1. Productiv helped us to maneuver away from managing apps in an excel file that's time-consuming and the information gets obsolete faster than one can imagine
2. Adding HR, IT Spend data from ERP and expense management systems to apps is a game-changer and supply valuable insights on app management
3. Since Productiv is in place, we've seen tremendous improvement in renewing/sunsetting apps ahead of time or on time thus giving us more negotiation power with vendors
4. Cost savings because of on-time renewals or sunsets and license usage recommendations

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Productiv for anyone considering a SaaS app management platform. Like any new SaaS product, there are some growing pains, and good thing Productiv is constantly listening to its customers and making improvements.
