# Is Productiv mainly a SaaS management tool or a SaaS cost optimization platform?

Most SaaS management platforms focus on visibility into the application stack — discovery, governance, and license tracking.

But looking at Productiv, the stronger value seems to be SaaS spend optimization and renewal intelligence.

Especially with usage analytics and benchmarking data, the platform seems positioned to help companies make better renewal and consolidation decisions, not just track applications.

Curious how other teams think about this.

Do you primarily use Productiv for SaaS visibility and governance, or for reducing SaaS spend and optimizing renewals?
