“Fast and clear insight into your SaaS and sprawl. Minimal friction and impact to your users.”

5.0
Apr 1, 2026
I've had a very positive experience with Grip Security. It consistently delivers near-instant visibility into SaaS usage and sprawl, which is critical for maintaining control in a distributed environment. I've personally been a Grip user for a couple of years prior to joining our org, and while I'm not keen on simply bringing in new tools to a company I had just joined, we were missing some very important visibility. I've let my team review Grip Security independent of my thoughts and they agreed.

Reviewer Insights for: Grip Security SaaS Security Platform

Grip Security SaaS Security Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

A standout part of the experience has been the support. Our Technical Customer Success Manager, has been exceptional. He is highly responsive, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely engaged. That level of partnership makes a meaningful difference. We also love the Grip Extend which helps us with Password Hygiene and additional identity telemetry.

Like

Excellent visibility into SaaS usage and OAuth integrations, strong security insights and risk scoring, easy interaction with identity providers and SaaS platforms, and Grip extend discovery, identity lifecycle workflow, and SaaS posture management.

Like

Scans environment quickly, provides information on what users are using shadow IT, ability to tag and take notes on specific apps. New CSA function is exciting to look forward to as well.

Dislike

One nit I can pick is that the reporting center could still be improved to allow users to create custom reports. This is where having our technical CSM helps. He helps us bridge that gap. Another nit is that the risk calculation is not very intuitive, but that said it's only an input and not my main use for the platform.

Dislike

We haven't encountered any major issues with the platform so far. In some cases, certain SaaS applications may detect authentication methods slightly differently, which can require minor tuning or adjustments. However, these are relatively minor configuration tweaks and do not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the product.

Dislike

- can sometimes be slow providing report downloads - can get convoluted with internally named applications (more an issue on our end though) - would like for it to scan globally, but also understand the reason why that cant/hasnt happened yet.

    Product Offers Valuable Insights but still developing workflow functions

    Feb 24, 2026
    Overall I like the company. The product provides good insights for our account management program. It's a "young" product, but they are still working on expanding it and deploying new functionality. Its newness comes with a lack of some functionality that will likely be released in the future. The roadmap is promising and overall the support for the tool is good.

    Essential SaaS solution to manage Shadow IT/AI and fully enhance any IAM solution.

    The product is turn key implementation but it comes with an integration SME to walk through exactly how to setup work flows, answer questions and they hold weekly meetings to ensure you are using the product to its full potential to get value out of it.
