“Automate onboarding and offboarding!”
I love how easy it is to automate granular tasks for offboarding specifically. You can set it to reset a person’s email password, revoke all access to that account, set a vacation responder, automatically start forwarding email to that person’s manager, revoke access to all BetterCloud connected apps, and then set automated follow ups for 60 and 90 days to ask the manager if they want to delete that account or keep it active. It’s a real timesaver and amazing for security. Onboarding is even better. You can automatically add people to groups based on things like department and location, send invites to specific applications, all with minimal lift. It’s wonderful.

“BetterCloud is a quality product for the modern company”
BetterCloud takes away the error-prone nature of opening and closing of the company toolbox for employees entering and leaving in a structured and secure way. It also adds to the security of the IT check list by using searches to find taboo material, if social security numbers or credit cards are being types in messages across different applications used in the company. A final benefit is that you can customize either always active workflows, or have run on demand for specific tasks that have greater impacts. We tend to make more serious implication workflows be only run on demand, since we want a real person to make that judgement call on if to run it.
"An amazing and intuitive tool to wrangle your SaaS sprawl"
The ease of navigation is probably the best impression I received from the tool. When I took over IAM / SaaS config and vendor management at my company, I did not have any previous knowledge of BetterCloud. I was able to dive in, and without initially checking any documentation, I was able to find the information I sought and push the updates I needed. Most recently I was able to add an integration following a quick guide and dig into workflows without any training on the workflow process itself. For more complex configurations there is a community and articles available!
