"We Found 40+ Shadow IT Apps in 10 Minutes Without Installing a Single Endpoint Agent"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Nudge Security?

The speed of deployment and instant visibility are incredible. Within minutes of granting read-only access to our mail tenant, Nudge Security mapped out our entire SaaS footprint, showing us unapproved cloud apps, GenAI tools, and risky OAuth grants that traditional security tools completely missed.

What sets it apart is its behavioral approach. Instead of IT playing 'hall monitor' and outright blocking tools users need to get work done, Nudge automatically reaches out to the employee over Slack or email. It asks why they signed up, verifies if business data is being shared, and guides them on enabling MFA or enrolling the app into SSO. Its automated employee offboarding playbooks also save us hours by ensuring OAuth access and orphaned accounts are actually revoked when someone leaves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nudge Security?

Because the platform discovers apps based on communication patterns, transaction emails, and OAuth scopes, the initial list can be huge. Sorting through all the low-risk web services and one-off logins can feel overwhelming at first. It also takes a bit of fine-tuning to customize notification frequency and set the right guardrails, so you don’t end up over-surveying employees with automated Slack messages.

In addition, while the automated playbooks handle standard SaaS platforms smoothly, edge-case and highly legacy on-premise tools still require manual intervention from our IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nudge Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every employee adopting their own SaaS or GenAI tool creates massive Shadow IT sprawl, risky OAuth permissions, and orphaned accounts during offboarding.

Nudge Security solves this by giving us a continuous, real-time inventory of every app in our ecosystem without requiring browser extensions or agent software. It automates vendor risk profiling, helps us reclaim unused paid software licenses, and reduces our offboarding checklist time by over 80%. It bridges the gap between IT governance and employee productivity seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
