ITASCA, Ill., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flexera, the global leader in technology spend and risk intelligence, today announced it has been positioned as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms. We believe this recognition reflects Flexera’s strong vision and SaaS strategy, its global presence and its robust thought leadership in the SaaS Management market.
It is also the latest recognition from Gartner, as Flexera is the only vendor recognized in both the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms and the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud Financial Management Tools. It’s our view that this continued recognition highlights Flexera’s advanced capabilities to help organizations control SaaS costs, manage shadow AI risks and reduce SaaS sprawl, while driving FinOps maturity through its integrated Flexera One platform.
“In today’s AI-first world, enterprises face unprecedented complexity in managing their technology ecosystems,” said Jim Ryan, CEO of Flexera. “Flexera is uniquely positioned to help them close the visibility gap and act with precision. Our new SaaS Management offering is part of our broader Flexera One platform. This isn’t just about SaaS management; it’s about delivering actionable, high-fidelity intelligence across hybrid IT to power AI, mitigate risk, and reduce spend. Our leadership in this category is built on the unmatched scale, depth, and trust in our data — and to us, our position in the latest Gartner report demonstrates our commitment to driving innovation where it matters most.”
According to the Flexera 2025 State of Cloud Report, 35% of organizations report increased SaaS waste year-over-year—underscoring the urgent need for visibility, governance, and cost control. Flexera One SaaS Management solution addresses these challenges by offering:
- Comprehensive discovery engine: advanced discovery methods, such as Browser and Financial Discovery, Agent, API, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Single-Sign On (SSO), ensure full visibility into all SaaS applications, including those unauthorized or hidden.
- Advanced SaaS optimization: Sophisticated insights that combine usage intelligence and financial data help identify underutilized licenses or features and implement automated governance and controls to manage and eliminate unused or redundant SaaS subscriptions.
- Integrated platform: Integration with IT asset management (ITAM) and FinOps processes within the Flexera One platform provides a unified view, supporting better decision-making and cost optimization across the entire IT ecosystem.
“As shadow AI and unsanctioned SaaS usage proliferate, organizations need visibility and control more than ever,” said Leigh Martin, senior director of product management at Flexera. “Flexera One SaaS Management is the result of extensive innovation and strategic effort, designed to uncover hidden risks, eliminate waste and align SaaS investments with business priorities to meet evolving market demands. We believe our position as a Leader in this Gartner Magic Quadrant reflects our strong SaaS strategy and dynamic solution that meets market demands.”
As ITAM, FinOps, and SaaS operations increasingly intersect, organizations need a holistic view across the entire environment. Flexera’s SaaS Management capabilities, embedded within the Flexera One platform, provide the foundation for FinOps maturity and the visibility necessary to manage risk across the entire software estate.
The evaluation of the 17 recognized vendors was based on criteria that analyzed each company’s Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
