(Original )Information
What do you like best about Productiv?

It is one central source of truth. Direct app connections and retrieving information from multiple sources ensure that we have all the needed information at our fingertips. I also appreciate that the teams listen to our questions, requests and input. The support from our customer success manager is on a level I have never experienced with any other vendor. It is truly a partnership Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

I don't think there is anything I dislike - perhaps some requests/recommendations I have, but this is actively discussed and worked on by Productiv team and resolved very quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collecting data from multiple sources (SSO, contracts, direct app integrations, spend data, etc.) to become a source of truth for all SaaS contracts to ensure we know what tools we have/use, flag any inconsistencies, ensure our licences are optimized, benchmarking to negotiate better deals and renewal information to ensure that renewals/terminations happen in a timely manner. It is the ultimate source of truth for anything SaaS related Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

What I like best about Productiv is the no-code workflow automation. This feature streamlines our processes, significantly reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. With just a few clicks, I can automate routine tasks, freeing up valuable time for more strategic activities. We've enhanced contract renewal notifications along more proactive timelines, and the automatic creation of a collaborative Slack channel between the app owner and sourcing manager has been game changing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

Productiv could improve by enhancing the way it handles contracts shared across different business units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productiv is solving a visibility issue by compiling usage data from Okta, spend data from NetSuite, and contract data into one comprehensive platform. This helps us get a clear view of the current state of each application and informs our long-term strategy planning for our tech stack. Additionally, Productiv's renewal notifications and workflows enable us to proactively manage contract renewals, preventing them from sneaking up on us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

Productiv is a comprehensive platform with a wide range of features, which can make it overwhelming for new users. It may take some time to familiarize yourself with the interface and fully utilize its capabilities. Actionable recommendation may need to interpreted on your own as it mayu not be looking at the data the same way you or your org is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

Productiv is a single source of truth/database for software platforms. This is critical for any business to maintain visibility over spend, usage, renewals, etc. Without a central "source of truth", platforms get lost in the shuffle of IT (management), finance (spend), and the end-users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

Due to the large number of software platforms, there are different levels of integration and visibility for various platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

Global visibility into all platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

What I like most about Productiv is the flexibility in the way the information is displayed. The information, before the implementation of Productiv, was there. but it was not fully integrated as it is now. I definitely consider, in my role as FinOps Manager, my main work tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

I don't feel that it is something that I "dislike" but as a possibility for improvement, it would be very good if there was a way to estimate future expenses. For example, plan a company's annual budget for all SaaS in the portfolio. The information is there, however I must resort to an external form to be able to transpose it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

several. But to summarize, we have all the information from our portfolio together in one place, not only "trusting" the budget holder's forecast, but validating the information with current contracts, with real expenses, with assigned licenses, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

Productiv is very user friendly and easy to use. We were able to connect it to all of our systems very quickly, and it immediately gave us actionable data. We run all of our renewals out of Productiv using the contracts feature, and it ensures we don't miss any renewals, or stumble into an auto-renewal. Our CSM is also great to work with, and ensures that we get connected to the right people to solve any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

The only bad thing I have to say about Productiv is that their customer support can be slow to respond since I think they off-shore them and they are not available during US business hours. When I have an issue that requires an urgent response, I tend to go straight to our CSM rather than utilizing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productiv gives us full visibility into all of our SaaS spending, and how well utilized our investments in SaaS are. It helps us better track all of our SaaS contracts, and gives company-wide visibility for savings opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

There are tons of connectors available to help your team get impactful insights into your SaaS stack, and the data is presented beautifully. If you need to make data-driven decisions and want to easily present your findings to leadership, this is the tool for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

This isn't a dislike, but I'd hope Productiv gains more feature parody when integrating with Google Workspace as your IDP vs the way more expensive Okta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

We implemented Productiv 6 months ago, and in this time it has become the source of truth for all things SaaS! Functional owners, spend, contracts and contract renewal dates, are all being tracked in Productiv. Additionally, AppCenter provides a central location for all app requests and ELM helps us to run reports and take action on quarterly user access audits. We also rely on our CSM and the Producctiv team for benchmarking data prior to entering renewal discussions with vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Productiv?

As a procurement leader in the tech industry, Productiv gives my team a full view on the SaaS contract meta data that's essential to proper management and preparation for negotiation of contracts. Productiv's support and Customer Success team is exceptional because they are responsive to feedback on product improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

Productiv can be overwhelming given the amount of data in the tool. The learning curve is a bit high when we onboard our new team members and after using it for two years, I still do not feel confident in how to use the tool for more in depth analysis (much due to my limited time to practice). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Productiv solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productiv is a central location to review the applciations in use at our company and which of these applications are duplicative in our tech stack. We most often use Productiv to manage our SaaS contract metadata to help our team organize our renewal strategies. Productiv has been a key component to our report on shadow IT to alert our leadership what percentage of applications are non compliant to our processes. We also use AppCenter to manage our app requests accross the company. This is most effective to present the approved tech stack for our employees based on the teams that they support.

What do you like best about Productiv?

Productiv's App Procurement Hub has made bringing all of our stakeholders together for SaaS renewals and SaaS intake effortless. It has provided structure to our internal processes while enabling a data-driven approach to our SaaS management.

AppCenter provides a window into our full tech stack for our employees and eliminates not only a significant burden of access fulfillment, but also redundancy in our tech stack as it surfaces existing applications that often fit the needs of users.

Best of all, renewals never sneak up on us anymore. We're always way ahead of the game and that provides an incredible amount of leverage in negotiations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Productiv?

Nothing I would consider a dislike. They are constantly adding new features and that often requires me to look for ways to incorporate them. However, our CSM John L., and the rest of the Productiv team always go above and beyond to explain and help us incorporate the features in ways that make the most sense for our organization.
