FlexNet Manager vs. Productiv

Software is one of the major items on any IT expense budget. Industry analysts estimate software license and maintenance fees represent 20 to 35% of total enterprise IT spend. The approach for managing a software asset portfolio is typically inefficient, relying on a local approach instead of a global one, and frequently involves spreadsheets or other ad hoc methods. The lack of efficient software asset management processes exposes enterprises to software audit liabilities and overspending on licenses and maintenance.

Productiv is used by IT and security leaders who are expected to say “yes” to AI innovation while keeping company data safe, compliant, and in budget. AI is already inside your SaaS stack (you just can’t see it clearly). Productiv gives you a single system of record for all SaaS and AI usage so you can identify AI tools, understand how they use your data, and put real guardrails in place without slowing the business down. The platform pulls together SSO, expense, contracts, security signals, and usage analytics into one view of every application, feature, user, and team.
