Zluri vs Ramp
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
Zluri is hardening into an access governance product, with SaaS spend management increasingly playing supporting role.
Zluri's recent releases are almost entirely identity-governance work: user-based access reviews, a revamped certification creation flow, customizable access request forms per application. The November 2025 App Insights release reframed the product as a 'governance-grade intelligence layer' surfacing orphaned admin accounts, SSO coverage gaps, and shadow IT in actionable cards. SaaS license and spend features still ship but no longer set the agenda.
The product is moving from SaaS spend tracking toward full IGA territory — competing less with Productiv or Torii and more with SailPoint and Saviynt at the lighter end. Each iteration on certifications, reviews, and request flows narrows the gap with enterprise IGA incumbents. The 2026 releases all sit in that lane.
Expect role-mining or risk-scoring next — the natural follow-on once certifications and request flows are mature. A 'least-privilege recommendation' agent layered on top of App Insights would also fit the trajectory and the broader market push toward AI-assisted governance.
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.
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.
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.
