Zluri
Identity governance platform that discovers, manages and secures every human and non-human identity (including AI agents) across a company's SaaS and cloud apps.

Description
Every employee, contractor, service account and now every AI agent inside a company needs some kind of login and permissions — and in most companies, nobody has a full, up-to-date list of who or what actually has access to which system. That gap is how ex-employees keep access for months, or a forgotten API key becomes a security hole. Zluri builds a live map of every identity in a company's software stack — human and machine — and automates the boring but important work of granting, reviewing and revoking access. Zluri covers identity discovery and visibility, identity governance and administration (IGA), identity security posture management (ISPM), automated access reviews for compliance (SOX, SOC2), and identity lifecycle automation for onboarding/offboarding. It has notably extended into managing "non-human identities" — service accounts, API tokens, and now AI agents — as that category becomes a real security concern with more autonomous agents holding credentials. It started as a SaaS spend-management tool and still includes that (shadow IT detection, spend optimization) as part of a broader identity platform.
💬 Our review
The short version: Zluri has evolved from "which SaaS subscriptions are we wasting money on" into "who and what actually has access to our systems," and the second question is the more urgent one for most security and compliance teams today.
The genuinely timely part of Zluri's pitch is non-human identity management — as companies wire up more AI agents with API keys and service-account-like credentials, that's an access-control category most legacy IAM tools (built for human logins) simply weren't designed for, and Zluri is one of the earlier platforms to explicitly address it. The access-review automation (for SOX/SOC2 compliance) is a genuine time-saver for security teams who otherwise do this manually on a spreadsheet once a quarter. The honest caveat is that Zluri now competes in two categories at once — identity governance (against Okta's governance features, SailPoint) and SaaS spend management (against Vertice, SpendHound) — and a buyer purely interested in one or the other may find a more focused tool. It's also enterprise-sales-only with no public pricing, which is standard for identity/security tooling but means there's no quick way to gauge cost-fit before a sales conversation.

❓ Frequently asked questions
- What are 'non-human identities' and why does that matter?
- Service accounts, API tokens, and increasingly AI agents that hold credentials and access systems without a human directly logging in. Zluri extends identity governance to cover these, which most legacy identity tools built only for human logins don't handle well.
- Does Zluri still do SaaS spend management?
- Yes — spend optimization and shadow IT detection remain part of the platform, alongside its now-broader identity governance and security posture features.
- Is Zluri suitable for compliance audits?
- Yes, it automates access reviews aligned to frameworks like SOX and SOC2, and holds its own SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS certifications.
- Is it worth the money compared to alternatives?
- If your main need is identity governance including AI-agent/service-account access, Zluri's breadth is worth evaluating against dedicated IAM tools like Okta or SailPoint. If you only need SaaS spend visibility, a more focused (and often cheaper) tool like SpendHound covers that need without the identity-governance overhead.
- Which tool should you pick for your case?
- Need identity governance covering AI agents and service accounts: Zluri. Pure SaaS spend benchmarking and negotiation: Vertice or SpendHound. Deep enterprise IAM/SSO already in place: extend with Okta or SailPoint instead of adding a new platform.
