TL;DR: SaaS management platforms are being evaluated not just for discovery and spend optimisation, but for how well they surface access, offboarding, and governance gaps across SaaS estates, according to Zluri’s Torii alternatives guide. The practical issue is that visibility without access reviews and lifecycle control leaves identity risk unresolved.
NHIMG editorial — based on content published by Zluri: SaaS Management Top 7 Torii Alternatives in 2026
By the numbers:
- Torii has 150+ direct app integrations.
- Only 20% have formal processes for offboarding and revoking API keys, and even fewer have procedures for rotating them.
- 97% of NHIs carry excessive privileges, increasing unauthorised access and broadening the attack surface.
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should security teams govern SaaS access when discovery is incomplete?
A: Treat incomplete discovery as an access-governance risk, not a tooling nuisance.
Q: Why do SaaS platforms create identity risk as well as spend risk?
A: Because every SaaS application can create human accounts, delegated access, API credentials, and admin entitlements that must be governed over time.
Q: What breaks when SaaS offboarding is handled manually?
A: Manual offboarding usually breaks at scale and at speed.
Practitioner guidance
- Map SaaS integrations to governance depth Inventory which applications expose entitlement, role, and lifecycle data through direct integrations, and mark any app that only provides partial visibility as governance incomplete.
- Bind offboarding to authoritative identity events Connect leaver and role-change processes to SaaS licence removal, account disablement, and access revocation so stale access does not persist after business need ends.
- Review shadow IT through an access-risk lens Classify unsanctioned SaaS applications by the identities they create, the data they touch, and whether they introduce unmanaged third-party access paths.

Visibility without governance is the central SaaS identity failure. The article shows that app discovery alone is not enough if a platform cannot support access reviews, offboarding, and risk scoring. That is the same structural weakness NHIs expose everywhere: inventory without lifecycle control creates a false sense of coverage. Practitioners should treat SaaS management as an identity control surface, not a reporting layer.
A few things that frame the scale:
- Only 20% have formal processes for offboarding and revoking API keys, and even fewer have procedures for rotating them, according to Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
- 91.6% of secrets remain valid five days after the targeted organisation is notified, showing a critical gap in remediation procedures.
A question worth separating out:
Q: How do IAM teams decide whether a SaaS management platform is strong enough for governance?
A: Look for evidence that the platform can drive access reviews, entitlement revocation, renewal control, and offboarding across the applications that matter most. If it only produces inventory and spend reports, it supports visibility but not governance. A useful platform must change entitlement state, not just describe it.
