Forescribe Reviews & Product Details

I was immediately struck by how simple it is to adopt Forescribe. It worked without the need for a lengthy setup or a difficult onboarding procedure. We had a comprehensive map of all the apps we use, their actual usage frequency, and which teams depend on which within a few days.

This clarity is invaluable to someone who balances IT oversight with business decisions. The platform links employee activity, usage, and spending in a way that instantly highlights what should be kept and what is depleting the budget. Because Forescribe informed us in advance with the appropriate usage context, we were able to avoid numerous needless renewals and save countless hours thanks to the offboarding automation.

Nothing significant. I had to get used to a few features, but once I realized how the insights connected, it came naturally to me. I simply keep an eye out for new updates because the product changes quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forescribe was surprisingly easy to set up — truly plug-and-play. Within minutes we had real visibility into all the apps our teams were using, including a few we didn't even know existed. The interface is clean, the insights are clear, and it's been incredibly helpful across IT and finance.

I really like how it ties usage and cost together. Instead of guessing who needs what, we can see real data and make better calls instantly. The automated license reclaim during offboarding has already saved us a ton of manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real complaints. It's still getting new features frequently, so sometimes we’re discovering new things faster than we planned — but that’s a good problem to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an IT manager, I was constantly caught in the middle—users requesting new tools, finance questioning spend, and leadership asking why we had so many overlapping apps. It felt like we were fighting fires instead of building structure.

What I like best about Forescribe is how it pulls everything into one place. The EmployeeIntel view shows exactly who is using what and how often, so I no longer chase people down for adoption reports. The ShadowOps Insight feature has been a game-changer—it uncovered tools that teams had signed up for without IT involvement, which was both a compliance and security risk. Now, instead of surprises, I have visibility and control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike, but if I had to pick one thing, it's that the reporting options could use more flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an IT manager juggling daily support, compliance, and tech ops, visibility was my biggest challenge. We had scattered tools, unclear license ownership, and way too many surprise renewals. Forescribe gave us structure. The EmployeeIntel view lets my team pinpoint who's actually using what—no more chasing tickets or making guesses about usage. ShadowOps Insight has been a game-changer for uncovering rogue tools before they become a security risk. It's also made my 1:1s with my team more data-backed—we talk with real usage insights now, not assumptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, we haven’t hit any roadblocks yet. The platform does what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Forescribe, managing software procurement felt like chasing shadows. Tools were being purchased by different teams, often without proper oversight, and we'd only realize we were overspending when it was too late. What I liked best about Forescribe is how it brought order to the chaos—without making things harder.

The Renewal Timeline is a lifesaver. I used to dread quarter-end surprises—vendors auto-renewing contracts before we even got a chance to review them. Now, we get alerts well in advance, which gives us time to analyze value, compare pricing, and actually negotiate. Pair that with SpendTrack Elite, and we can tie every dollar to usage, not just license count. That's helped us cut waste and walk into procurement meetings with confidence.

Honestly, there's nothing major I'd point to. If anything, I'd love to see even more flexibility in customizing reporting views for different stakeholders—but even without that, it's already solving problems we've struggled with for years. And their team actually listens—so feedback doesn't go into a black hole, which I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a long time, managing IT felt like we were solving a puzzle without all the pieces. Apps were being adopted faster than we could track them, spending was happening in scattered corners of the organization, and whenever someone asked, “Do we really need this tool?”—the answer was usually, “We’re not sure.”

That changed once we started using Forescribe. With GlobalView™, we finally got a unified lens into our entire software landscape. Whether it was marketing in Europe or product teams in APAC, we could view software usage, license counts, and cost centers across every workspace and region—without asking five people or opening ten spreadsheets. It gave us confidence and control we simply didn’t have before.

App Discover360™ filled in the blind spots. We discovered apps we didn’t even know were being used, and more importantly, we understood how often and by whom. It didn’t just help with visibility—it reshaped how we think about adoption, security, and value.

And AccessFlow Control quietly became one of the most valuable tools in our day-to-day work. Managing user permissions used to be manual and slow—now, we can assign, audit, and adjust access in minutes. It's made our workflows tighter and helped us avoid both over-provisioning and security gaps.

Forescribe didn’t just improve our software oversight—it gave us the tools to act quickly, stay ahead, and support the business without getting buried in firefighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's nothing we truly dislike. It's rare to find a platform that delivers exactly what it promises, and Forescribe has done just that. If anything comes up, their team has always been proactive and receptive, which gives us even more confidence in the platform. The only ask would be even more customizable reporting visuals in the Insights Hub, but I know their team is already working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forescribe gave us something we were really lacking—centralized visibility into every software contract, license, and renewal timeline. The Renewal Calendar is one of the most useful features we've adopted; it ensures we never miss a renewal deadline and lets us plan negotiations in advance. The ability to track contracts, usage, and spend in one place has helped us eliminate duplicate tools and avoid unnecessary license expansions.

Another big win has been the Cost Cluster feature. It groups app spend by category and team, so we can easily benchmark costs and identify overlaps. With this, we've finally started aligning procurement decisions with actual software value and usage. Forescribe hasn't just streamlined our procurement workflow—it's made it smarter.

Nothing so far. The platform does what it promises, and the support team has been responsive every time we’ve had a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What really stood out to me was how Forescribe made it easy to connect the dots between software usage, access, and spend—something that's often scattered across systems. Features like EmployeeIntel helped us map app usage down to individual users, so we could clean up unused accounts and right-size our licenses. It's been a huge help in reducing waste and improving efficiency.

The Exit Watch tool has also added a layer of security to our offboarding process. Before Forescribe, tracking what apps former employees had access to was time-consuming. Now we get an instant snapshot of their usage history and associated risks, making deprovisioning way more thorough and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing that's been a deal-breaker. Some advanced features take a little time to master, but the platform is intuitive once you spend some time with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forescribe has given us the clarity we needed in a noisy, fast-paced SaaS environment. As a CIO, I'm constantly balancing cost, compliance, and usability—and this tool has helped us stay in control without slowing teams down. The GeoData Compliance feature has been particularly helpful in flagging region-specific risks, especially as we scale globally. It's also helped us track how permissions and access evolve over time, making our internal audits much smoother and less reactive.

What I really like is that Forescribe doesn't just dump data—it delivers actionable insights. The SmartCost Optimizer gave us clear, team-specific savings opportunities, and we were able to act on them within days. It's rare to find a tool that supports both IT governance and business agility this well. Honestly, it's become a key part of how we manage our digital ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there's honestly nothing we dislike. It's rare to adopt a platform this quickly without running into friction, but Forescribe has been smooth from day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a CTO leading a fast-growing global tech team, one of my ongoing frustrations was how disconnected our systems were. We had usage data in one place, billing in another, and no real way to connect the dots. Honestly, it felt like we were constantly in catch-up mode—especially when surprise SaaS invoices landed or when security flagged access issues tied to offboarded employees.

Then we brought in Forescribe, and things started clicking. It didn’t just plug into our existing stack—it stitched everything together. The first week alone, we used AppScout and LoopSense to uncover a long list of unused, redundant, and in some cases risky apps that had been flying under the radar. That immediate visibility was a game-changer.

One feature I can’t stop talking about is the ability to tag subscriptions to billing. It sounds simple, but it solved a real pain for us. We no longer have orphaned charges or awkward moments trying to trace a vendor back to a team. It’s clean, clear, and finally gives us a reliable view of what we’re spending—and why.

Also, the SpendPredict™ feature helped us shift from “what just happened?” to “what’s coming next?” when it comes to budgeting. And the AI Post-Mortem reports have actually helped us diagnose a few operational issues faster than we would’ve with manual root cause analysis.

The onboarding experience was smoother than I expected, especially for a tool this robust. And their support team? Genuinely helpful, quick to respond, and honestly feel like a part of our extended IT org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None so far. The platform is actively evolving and already addresses most of our digital risk and cost challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
