As SaaS usage continues to accelerate, the need for centralized SaaS Management has never been more urgent. The Gartner report discusses the following strategic planning assumptions:
- Through 2027, organizations that fail to centrally manage SaaS life cycles will remain five times more susceptible to a cyberincident or data loss, due to incomplete visibility into SaaS usage and configuration.
- Through 2027, organizations that fail to attain centralized visibility and coordinate SaaS life cycles will overspend on SaaS by at least 25%, due to unused entitlements and unnecessary, overlapping tools.
- Through 2028, over 70% of organizations will centralize SaaS application management using a SaaS management platform (SMP), an increase from less than 30% in 2025.
“We’re proud to be named a two-time Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms,” said Meredith Albertson, CMO of Zylo. “As a Leader in the inaugural report last year and now again this year, we believe this recognition reflects our sustained and proven advancement in both vision and execution. We plan to keep innovating and delivering the visibility, immense cost savings, and control that drive tangible business impact for enterprise organizations, while helping them mitigate risk and strengthen compliance across their SaaS portfolios.”
