FAVORABLE

“This provides a clearer overall picture of SaaS management, significantly reducing the complexity of management.”

4.0
Apr 22, 2026
JOSYS was excellent because it not only provided visualization of SaaS management, but also integrated it into operations, including inventory, workflow, and application/approval (employee portal). It also felt scalable, even when the number of managed items increased due to subsidiaries or M&A. On the other hand, there was room for improvement in areas such as the maintenance of department information (accumulation of unnecessary departments due to lack of deletion functionality), the unclear nature of update notifications, and the flexibility of custom integrations, preventing it from receiving a perfect score.

CRITICAL

“Improved Security and Usability Offset Limitations in Permission Customization”

3.0
Apr 21, 2026
We deployed Josys to migrate the operational complexities associated with our rapidly expanding SaaS ecosystem and device fleet, particularly during employee onboarding and offboarding. Prior to Josys, our asset data was heavily siloed across disparate spreadsheets. The platform has successfully driven the centralization of this critical data. From a security standpoint, the impact has been substantial; it effectively mitigates the risk of "orphaned" accounts by ensuring rigorous and consistent de-provisioning. Furthermore, the highly intuitive user interface significantly reduces the learning curve, empowering non-IT personnel to manage operations efficiently. While the core functionality is exceptional, the current granularity of role-based access controls could be enhanced. Introducing more flexible permission settings in future releases would undoubtedly elevate my overall rating to a perfect 5

Josys SaaS Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

The first advantage is that it allows us to conduct inventory checks not only on managed apps but also on Shadow IT. The system is designed to facilitate understanding the actual situation, including the use of Slack and email DMs for employee confirmation, which I find particularly excellent as it facilitates subsequent actions (such as adding items to management or accepting them). The second advantage is the ability to scale the system while strengthening categorization and group management, even as the scope of management expands through subsidiaries and M&A. The fact that we can consider restructuring operations based on the actual situation of increasing management is reassuring. The third advantage is its scalability, allowing us to import user and organizational information through API integration with the HR master, enabling more automated account management while keeping up with organizational changes and transfers.

Like

・It's very user-friendly and requires almost no training to start using it effectively. ・It centralizes both SaaS accounts and device inventory in a single dashboard. ・Being able to provision and de-provision multiple SaaS accounts with just a few clicks is a game changer.

Like

First, the user interface is excellent. It is designed to be highly user-friendly, featuring a clear layout that is easy to navigate even for those without technical expertise, intuitive controls, and a member list function that allows users to view a list of applications currently in use. Second, the scope of shadow TI detection is extremely broad. Since it can detect and list SaaS applications with access records at either the application or member level, it makes it easy to visualize the status of shadow IT. Third, this service excels in scalability and the ability to adapt and improve. Support responses are prompt, and new features are released frequently. Most importantly, the service provides comprehensive support, including flexible proposals tailored to our business needs and the active incorporation of feedback. Since implementation, the aspect we are most satisfied with is, without a doubt, the thorough follow-up support.

Dislike

The first issue is that there is still room for improvement in the flexibility and customization of custom app integrations. Easier addition and integration of items, similar to standard integration apps, would significantly improve usability. Furthermore, the AI integration builder currently only supports ID/password authentication and lacks SSO/MFA support, so we hope for future improvements. The second issue is that maintaining organizational information (departments) becomes cumbersome in environments with frequent organizational changes. The lack of an API function to delete department information, and the inability to manually delete them in bulk, led to the accumulation of unnecessary departments. However, the API has recently been updated to support this, and we plan to integrate it in the future. The third issue is that inventory management cannot be completed entirely within the tool, sometimes relying on spreadsheets. In particular, Slack guest users are detected as unmanaged users, and this inventory process is time-consuming.

Automated Translation from Japanese
Dislike

・Limited flexibility in permission settings  The current options for defining user roles are too broad and need more customization ・Need for more granular access control  It would be better if we could set specific read-only permissions or restrict access by department ・Difficulty in delegating tasks  The lack of detailed permissions makes it hard to delegate specific tasks to other team members without giving them too much authority

Dislike

The first issue is that user-level approval can't be granted for unregistered apps. Since some applications grant access permissions based on departments or users, being able to approve access on a user-by-user basis rather than by applications would make it easier to distinguish between authorized and shadow IT. The second issue concerns app integration. Even for apps currently in use, integration capabilities vary deoending on the subscription plan, so while I recognize that technical challenges make this difficult to imolement, the system would become much easier to use if aoo integration were possible regardless of the subscription plan. The third point concerns the communication tools supported for inventory management. Since the communication tools our company management feature, we have been unable to fully implement it due to difficulties in gaining internal adoption. We believe that expanding the range of communication tools supported for inventory management would help revitalize the inventory management process.

    Thanks to its excellent user interface, visualizing SaaS has become much easier.

    Mar 30, 2026
    We adopted this solution to reduce the operational burden of managing SaaS accounts, and it has enabled centralized visibility into the SaaS applications used by each individual user. In addition, we can now clearly see who is accessing which services, as well as the frequency of access to prohibited services, which has helped strengthen our overall IT security posture. For application inventory purposes, the lack of integration with the communication tools we use internally means we need to consider alternative methods. From a security configuration perspective, it would be even more beneficial if application usage permissions could be configured on a per-user basis.

    Integrated management of devices and license ledgers significantly improves operational efficiency.

    Apr 15, 2026
    Device management and license management linked to users have improved dramatically. Previously, the device management ledger and license management ledger were separate, but they have now been integrated. Since it's still under development and features are being added regularly, I have high expectations for the service's future capabilities.

    A system that simplifies internal IT asset management with a unified format.

    Apr 19, 2026
    Previously, user accounts, SaaS licenses, and IT devices were managed in a scattered manner across separate management screens for each service and in the company's own database. However, this service allows for the automatic information sharing across numerous services, enabling centralized management of information in a unified format, even for items that the company updates. Furthermore, the organized information can be retrieved via API, linked with other information, and used within the company.
