# Does the platform maintain a comprehensive, searchable catalog of discovered applications?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">With the rapid growth of SaaS usage, having a central place to view all discovered apps can really help keep things organized. Some platforms, like <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jumpcloud/reviews"><strong>JumpCloud</strong></a>, offer searchable catalogs that go beyond just listing app names—they often include important details like who owns each app, its main purpose, and even how critical it is for business operations.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> Key features people often look for in an application catalog include:</p><ul>
<li>A complete and regularly updated list of all discovered SaaS and on-premise applications</li>
<li>Search and filter options to quickly find apps by name, owner, or category</li>
<li>Extra fields that show ownership, intended use, and business criticality for better decision-making</li>
<li> How useful have these catalogs been in practice? Are there any challenges with keeping details accurate or making sure the catalog really reflects what’s being used across the company?</li>

&lt;p&gt;Having ownership and purpose listed makes it a lot easier to know who to talk to if there’s an issue with an app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Yes, JumpCloud maintains a centralized, searchable SaaS inventory that captures every discovered application across the organization. Admins can review and assign status, such as approved, unapproved, ignored, to each application, making it easier to monitor security posture, enforce access policies, and eliminate shadow IT. Each entry includes critical metadata such as discovery date, number of associated accounts, and usage trends. The catalog can be explored from multiple views–by applications, users, or accounts–offering granular insights into who is using what, how, and when. This includes visibility into service accounts, login methods, and potential risks. The entire SaaS inventory is exportable, supporting audits and reporting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
