The 2024 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant^™ for SaaS Management Platforms

Unveiling recognized 2024 SaaS management solutions

Software as a Service (SaaS) applications offer unprecedented innovation, scalability and efficiency for both users and service providers, but challenges arise.

Gartner highlights that, "through 2027, organizations that fail to attain centralized visibility and coordinate SaaS life cycles will overspend on SaaS by at least 25% due to unused entitlements and unnecessary overlapping tools."

Indeed, the ease of entry to adopt SaaS applications can lead to fragmented use, increased security risks and unexpected bills. Organizations need comprehensive visibility into their SaaS environment and pertinent usage data to maintain compliance, control costs and protect data.

In its comprehensive evaluation of SaaS management platforms (SMPs), Gartner identified, researched, analyzed and positioned evaluated vendors. Flexera (Snow Software) is recognized as a Challenger in the first Gartner^® Magic Quadrant^™ on SMP solutions.
