Lumos Overview

What is Lumos?

You have grown and so have your risks: Software cost explosion. Excessive admin access. A flood of JIRA tickets. Don’t let managing hundreds of apps and permissions slow down your business. Lumos is the first app governance platform that automates access requests, enforces least privilege, speeds up user access reviews, and eliminates extra SaaS app spending. Gone are the technology silos that left IT, Security, Compliance, and Finance in the dark. With Lumos, you have visibility into app usage, entitlements, and spending - and the power to take action on that data. The impact? Disappearing IT support costs, Just-in-Time Access (JIT) with no audit spreadsheets and VLookups. All this equals guaranteed software savings.

What do you like best about Lumos?

The tool definitely does what it says. You can create a plain GUI to automate many processes like sharing company apps with your staff and approving requests quickly by managers. Meanwhile, it also helps to handle license management so you can save money.

Even all these features are good but there are more tools on the market as well. The beauty of the Lumos is its support team behind it. They don't only try to sell their software to you so you can use the app feature. They help you to get what you need even if it requires customization to achieve your goal.

Feel like a team is helping you behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

There is a learning curve, to understand how it works. Even if there is a team to help you, you need to spend some effort to understand their software, so you can best of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

- It helps users to get access to company apps in a more friendly way compared to boring Service Now tickets.

- It also helps to manage licensing by lowering the cost of unused licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumos?

Lumos is a one stop shop for ending the reactive SaaS-sprawl going on at many modern companies, and it achieves this with an extremely robust and UX-focused portal.

Slack Integration is absolutely key, changes the game entirely.

Lumos has reduced app provisioning at our company to essentially....a non-task. IT barely has to think about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

It is a new product, so there are some features still being built. Ultimately though, this has been beneficial to us due to their Product and Customer Success team being SO amazing and receptive to our needs. We have seen more than 3 requested features land in our platform in less than half a year, working perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Lumos SOLVED app provisioning for us, IT barely has to spend time provisioning users now.

2. Lumos is providing extremely helpful insights into app spend and stale licenses.

3. Lumos has increased IT Service Desk's speed in resolving security concerns, as we can now push deactivations to many SaaS apps from one central platform.

4. Lumos has enhanced our ability to involve automated nuanced approval workflows for varying types of apps, and permissions within apps, allowing us to enforce LPA at the front end of a request.

5. Lumos has given us incredibly useful insights into Shadow IT app usage, and an ability to start controlling for that in a user-experience focused way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samanee Mahbub of Lumos

Thank you for the review Aric! Happy to see you're finding great value from our Slack-first experience and we've been able to remove the need for IT support around app provisioning. Our product and CS team are always working to make sure we're building the features you need. Thanks again for being a customer and for taking the time to share your experience with Lumos. We appreciate you!

What do you like best about Lumos?

I like that end users, managers, and admins all automatically figure out what their role is in the process quickly and easily. That happens because everything it is heavily slacked based, where the users exist. Emails can be ignored, missed, whatever; but a slack notification with a simple and quick action button lead to faster results for everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

UI/UX elements are at times kind of odd. I wish it was more aparent to people that they already have acces and what kind of access they have. I would really like a bit more control for app admins in using lumos to remove people if necessary, say before time based access request runs out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a strong foundation for birthright access; but as everyone knows, and especially at smaller to mid size companies people wear lots of hats. 1/3rd of all our support requests were around access requests; and placing IT at the forefront of deciding who gets access and who doesn't. Not only is that inneficient for everyone involved, it is also not secure as not everything is an tool and IT should be the one making the call on whether a person should have access or not. Lumos helps solve this pain point by building an easy to use catalogue for app requests, directing these to the right people to approve via slack, and informing IT or the app admin on next steps. Saves IT time, saves end user time, saves manager or app approvers' time as well. When that many people and groups save time, it is an enormous productivity boost for the entire company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samanee Mahbub of Lumos

Thank you for the review! Glad to hear you're finding value in our Slack-first experience. We definitely agree it's important to meet users where they're at. Appreciate your feedback on our UI/UX. I'll relay that back to our product design team. Thanks again for being a customer and for taking the time to share your experience with Lumos. We appreciate it!

What do you like best about Lumos?

We have automated hapiness.

Typically, policies and procedures are required to get a workforce to do what is best for both themselves and the business. Access requests in particular would normally be maintained through a ticketing system with back and forth between a service desk. A carrot and stick approach, wherein the team would spend as much time trying to pull the different players in a given interaction together, as we would executing the tasks of ticket hygeine and access provisioning. People trying to circumvent this process get repremanded or may even be fired.

With Lumos our end users request what they need, what level of access they think they need, and for the duration of that access. Approvals go to the appropriate stakeholders/business units. The fastest method of getting what someone needs is now Lumos. Circumventing this process is slower, as users would need to set up accounts, licensing, etc.

This ease of use to follow the policy as well as the procedure can only be called a "carrot and carrot" approach.

Lumos has allowed us to transform and modernize. Lumos is great, and evolving for the better all the time. This product is no different than any other initiative that makes an impact. Lumos is going to bring a lot to the table - you are going to need to bring the enthusiasm and desire to evolve. Once you understand how to hook into different platforms and drive the automation, it is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

There is nothing I dislike about Lumos. It is an incredible product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lumos has streamlined our most tedious and typically stagnant tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandi Green of Lumos

What do you like best about Lumos?

Lumos is a great tool for a variety of reasons but what I like best about it is its ease of deployment and use which generates a high adoption rate for users. Makes IT support lives easier via the adoption of the AppStore and makes GRC folks very happy when it comes to show supporting evidence during audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

I don't have anything I dislike about this product. It's purpose built for what it does and it hits the mark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lumos solves the problem of performing regular user access reviews in a way that is highly adoptable by the user population. It also helps create a one stop shop for folks to get their software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumos?

I like how much time Lumos saves me when offboarding! It really is just as easy as one click of a button. My favorite feature is definitely the ability to transfer a user's Google Drive contents and reroute their email from within Lumos! That used to be a pain point that Lumos so kindly fixed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

There are some application integrations within Lumos that haven't necessarily been connected to our one click offboarding process, so we do have to eventually manually audit that system. However, I think this can be alleviated by leveraging the audit feature from within Lumos! (I realized this when I was typing this out.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lumos solved the problem of going into each system we have (which is quite a few) and individually removing people. It really has saved us a lot of time and let us create an essentially seamless offboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Samanee Mahbub of Lumos

Thank you for the review! Glad to see that Lumos can help with the pain point of offboarding, and that our audit logs can help keep your team accountable and compliant. We're always working to add more integration support, and we'll keep you posted as we do. Thanks again for being a customer and for taking the time to share your experience with Lumos. We appreciate it!

- User-friendly interface that is easy to navigate

- Exceptional support team that provides extensive training during onboarding

- Wide range of SaaS integrations available, with the option to request more if needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumos?

One thing to note about Lumos is that their pricing is not listed on their website. While Lumos is priced reasonably, it can be unclear how much it would cost potential customers to use the tool. This lack of transparency can create confusion and make it challenging for customers to compare Lumos to other tools in the market. It would be helpful if Lumos were more transparent about their pricing and provided clear information about their plans and pricing tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumos solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you dislike about Lumos?

They are on the right path to solve the access control issues. I wish to see more integrations with commonly used SaaS apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
