What is Ramp?
Ramp pushes deeper into vendor and license governance while widening international card coverage.
Ramp's recent cadence splits between accounting depth (QuickBooks Online custom fields and dimensions), vendor intelligence (license usage pulled from Okta, Entra, and Chrome), and geographic reach (USD cards for Canadian businesses, European per diem reimbursements). Around that, the Chrome extension picked up auto-receipt capture for Amazon and Uber. Each release is small, but the pattern shows three coordinated tracks.
What is Zluri?
Steady IGA depth: access reviews, request forms, and SaaS governance dashboards keep maturing.
Zluri's last six entries trace investment in IGA workflow depth. Access reviews can now start from users (March 2026), certification setup got a single guided flow with shared defaults and per-entity overrides, access request forms support an org-wide default that cascades to per-application customizations with explicit detachment rules, and the Groups module shipped dedicated users and applications views in May 2026. November 2025 added IP-based login restrictions and App Insights — a unified dashboard surfacing orphaned admin accounts, unused licenses, SSO gaps, and Shadow IT activity.

Ramp
6.3FINANCE
Ramp pushes deeper into vendor and license governance while widening international card coverage.
◆ Current state
Ramp's recent cadence splits between accounting depth (QuickBooks Online custom fields and dimensions), vendor intelligence (license usage pulled from Okta, Entra, and Chrome), and geographic reach (USD cards for Canadian businesses, European per diem reimbursements). Around that, the Chrome extension picked up auto-receipt capture for Amazon and Uber. Each release is small, but the pattern shows three coordinated tracks.
◆ Where it's heading
Ramp is moving past pure card-and-expense to claim the full vendor-spend graph: who is paying for what, who is actually using it, and where it sits across geographies. Pulling identity-provider data into vendor management is the most strategically interesting move — it makes Ramp a candidate to replace Zylo, Productiv, or Vendr for mid-market SaaS spend.
◆ Prediction
Expect license intelligence to extend to more identity providers (Google Workspace, JumpCloud) and pair with an automated reclaim workflow, and international card programs to add EUR or GBP issuance to match the per-diem push.
Zluri
2.5FINANCE
Steady IGA depth: access reviews, request forms, and SaaS governance dashboards keep maturing.
◆ Current state
Zluri's last six entries trace investment in IGA workflow depth. Access reviews can now start from users (March 2026), certification setup got a single guided flow with shared defaults and per-entity overrides, access request forms support an org-wide default that cascades to per-application customizations with explicit detachment rules, and the Groups module shipped dedicated users and applications views in May 2026. November 2025 added IP-based login restrictions and App Insights — a unified dashboard surfacing orphaned admin accounts, unused licenses, SSO gaps, and Shadow IT activity.
◆ Where it's heading
Two themes run through the releases. First, IGA workflow consolidation: one certification can now cover many apps; one default form cascades to many app-specific forms; reviews start from users instead of apps. Second, SaaS-stack intelligence: App Insights moves Zluri from inventory toward actionable governance, with anomalies and inefficiencies presented as cards that link to remediation. Release cadence is slow — months between drops — but each one expands a real admin surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect more multi-app, multi-entity workflows (bulk remediation, cross-group reviews) and tighter integration between App Insights anomalies and access-review playbooks — closing the loop between detection and automated remediation. The Groups module's recent table refresh suggests a broader platform-UI standardization is in flight.
