Why Zylo Discover matters
Uncover the Waste and Risk in Your Stack
With new applications being expensed across your business daily, it is essential to have complete and up-to-date visibility of the waste, redundancy, and risk hiding in your stack. The reality is that manual spreadsheets and legacy SAM tools are not equipped to handle today’s pace of change—this is especially true in the enterprise, where thousands of applications run across hundreds of departments.
Without Visibility, Waste and Risk Run Rampant
Of software is purchased outside of IT management
Of licenses go unused and wasted annually
Companies on average spend 304% more on SaaS than they are aware of
More susceptible to a security breach
Confident decisions require accurate data

How Zylo Discover Works
Lack of Visibility = Unknown Waste and Risk
83% of applications are expensed outside of IT, unknown and are not tracked in any central database. You can’t manage what you can’t see — license waste, missed renewals, overspending, and security and compliance risks result from a lack of visibility.
Continuous and Comprehensive Discovery
Zylo Discover, powered by AI, continuously ingests your financial transactions to uncover all SaaS applications present in your business, regardless of who purchased them.
Automatic and Accurate Categorization
Using the industry-leading and ever-growing library of over 22,000 applications, Zylo Discover matches and categorizes all discovered software. Every time your data is ingested, your inventory is updated, giving you a complete and up-to-date picture of your entire SaaS stack.
Centralized Spend, Redundancy, and Security Insights
Zylo Discover delivers a centralized single source of truth for:
- All software spend (accounts payable AND expensed) to track what is being purchased and who is buying it
- Security detail powered by Netskope to assess and flag any rogue software creating unnecessary security risks
- Side by side comparison of applications to quickly identify redundancy and optimize your software portfolio
If you would’ve asked me two, three years ago, I probably would’ve said we have 100 apps. Now that Genesys has a SaaS management tool, we know we have over 600.
