# What's the best way to use AWS Marketplace for procuring and consolidating billing across third-party software?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, what's the best way to use AWS Marketplace for procuring and consolidating billing across third-party software? Worth flagging upfront: the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/aws-marketplace">AWS Marketplace</a> category on G2 is a catch-all for wildly different products (everything from Python runtimes to firewalls to Linux distros), so there isn't really a "best product in category" the way other categories work. The actual reviewer feedback speaks to specific tools bought through it rather than the procurement experience itself.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/mulesoft-anypoint-platform/reviews"><strong>MuleSoft Anypoint Platform</strong></a> and <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/boomi/reviews"><strong>Boomi</strong></a> are two of the more consolidation-relevant tools that show up in the category, with reviewers praising ease of integration across multiple systems, though neither review set actually discusses the marketplace billing experience itself.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone who's actually consolidated multiple vendors' billing through AWS Marketplace, did it genuinely simplify procurement, or did you end up managing most of it outside the marketplace anyway?</p>

&lt;p&gt;I’d measure consolidation by what actually disappears from the procurement workflow. If Marketplace centralizes the invoice but teams still negotiate renewals, reconcile entitlements, track contract dates, and manage approvals separately for every vendor, billing is consolidated more than procurement is. The useful benchmark is how many manual vendor-specific steps remain after moving purchases through Marketplace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
