What are the best SaaS spend management platforms for tracking compliance with software licence terms, specifically ones that surface the shadow IT nobody signed off on in the first place.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What tends to matter for genuine license compliance, not just spend visibility:</p><ul>
<li>Discovery that doesn't rely solely on SSO logs, since card-bought subscriptions slip through</li>
<li>Audit-ready records for standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2</li>
<li>Orphaned accounts and unused licenses flagged automatically, not found during an annual review</li>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;SaaS Spend Management reviews on G2 for Nudge Security specifically sit closer to security governance than pure spend tracking, which is worth noting upfront. The category tag for SaaS Spend Management itself is a small slice of Nudge Security&#39;s review base; most of its reviews live under broader SaaS management and security posture categories, which suggests spend visibility is more of a side effect of shadow IT discovery than the product&#39;s core positioning. That said, the underlying capability the post is asking about, agentless discovery that doesn&#39;t rely on SSO logs alone, shows up as a real pattern across many independent reviews, several of which separately describe mapping their SaaS footprint within minutes of granting read-only access, without installing browser extensions or endpoint software.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;The specific number in the post, dozens of shadow IT apps found in minutes, is one reviewer&#39;s own account rather than a number the broader review base repeats, so it&#39;s a real result for that person but not something to treat as a typical outcome. For anyone who&#39;s actually run a discovery scan, the more useful comparison is probably how far the real number was from what IT assumed, since that gap seems to be the recurring surprise across reviewers regardless of the exact count each one landed on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
