The article presents 1Password SaaS Manager as an alternative with AI spend and consumption tracking, SaaS discovery beyond SSO, access governance, and lifecycle automation. ### Source excerpt On August 2, 2026, Productiv told customers its SaaS management platform was shutting down on August 6, with account data deleted once access ended. Four days is not much time to pull years of app inventory, spend, and usage data out of a system you've come to depend on, especially with AI tools now adding a fast-moving new layer of spend and access to track on top of everything else. If you're facing that deadline, or just taking stock of what you'd do if your own platform disappeared tomorrow, here's why 1Password SaaS Manager is the strongest place to land. A Leader you can build on 1Password SaaS Manager is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms, for both Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. That recognition reflects work we've been doing deliberately since acquiring Trelica in 2025. We've brought AI and SaaS discovery into our broader Unified Access platform, alongside the credentials, identities, and access controls that secure every application in a portfolio. Built for how AI and SaaS actually get used today We recently launched AI Spend and Consumption Management inside SaaS Manager, giving IT and finance teams a normalized view of AI token usage by vendor, team, and model, with burn-rate alerts before prepaid budgets run out. AI is quickly becoming the least governed, fastest-growing corner of the software portfolio, and we built that governance directly into SaaS Manager rather than bolting it on as a separate tool. It's one of several capabilities that set SaaS Manager apart: Discovery that goes beyond SSO: SaaS Manager continuously discovers apps across identity providers, SSO logs, finance systems, browser extensions, and 1Password Enterprise Password Manager vaults, surfacing the unmanaged SaaS and shadow AI tools that SSO-only discovery misses. Governance you can act on: Discovery is anchored to credentials and sign-ins, so IT can revoke access and enforce strong authentication even for apps outside SSO, ## 1Password is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms DevFeed: [1Password is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: info@1password.com (1Password) Published: 2026-06-23T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Blog on 1Password Blog]() Topics: [SaaS Management](), [shadow AI](), [MCP Server](), [OAuth](), [Single sign-on (SSO)](), [Security]() Tags: [agents](), [ai](), [ai-agents](), [mcp-server](), [oauth](), [saas](), [saas-management](), [security](), [shadow-ai]() ### AI overview 1Password announces that it has been recognized as a leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms. The article presents SaaS Manager as a way for IT and security teams to discover unapproved AI use, monitor applications and spending, identify token-budget overruns, govern access outside SSO, and automate governance workflows through an MCP Server. ### Source excerpt Recognized for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute 1Password has been recognized as a leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms. SaaS Manager gives IT and security teams visibility into unapproved AI use and every app, AI tool, and dollar spent across their organization. This foundation lets teams identify real-time AI token overruns before mid-year budget surprises hit, cut wasted license spend, and reduce friction for employees requesting access. The platform closes the access gaps that happen outside of SSO, governing human access across the full employee lifecycle and enabling AI agents to automate governance workflows through an MCP Server. We believe our placement in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ reflects our vision that with the right controls, SaaS management can help a business move faster.

The 1Password Access-Trust Gap Report found that 27% of knowledge workers were using AI-based applications that their employer didn't approve. Coding assistants, productivity tools, and AI platforms are being connected to work accounts, granted API access, and signed in with corporate credentials, often through a single "sign in with Google" OAuth token that leaves no trace in the identity provider. IT has no record of these AI tools, no visibility into what data enters the AI's context window, and no way to revoke access. When those tools run on consumption-based pricing, annual AI token budgets are being depleted within months, with no signal to finance until the allocation is nearly gone. SaaS sprawl has been a known cybersecurity problem for years, and until recently, traditional identity management was suf
