Overview
Zluri is a SaaS management and identity governance platform that discovers the applications a workforce uses, maps who has access to them, and governs that access through reviews, requests and lifecycle automation. Founded in Bengaluru in 2020, it raised a 20 million dollar Series B led by Lightspeed in 2023. Ownership change: Infotech, formerly Info-Tech Research Group, completed its acquisition of Zluri on 14 October 2026, terms undisclosed. Infotech says Zluri continues to serve customers as a standalone division, while its discovery and IGA products become modules of Infotech's CIO Analytics platform. See the identity consolidation report for the wider pattern.
What it is good at
Discovery breadth. Zluri finds sanctioned and shadow applications and now classifies human and non-human identities across SaaS, cloud and internal apps, which gives governance a real inventory to start from instead of the half of apps wired to SSO. Its integration library claims 300+ out-of-the-box connectors, SCIM account creation, and an on-premises systems category, plus a universal connector for apps without APIs.
Governance workflows are the second strength. Access reviews, access requests, segregation of duties checks and joiner-mover-leaver automation are built for IT teams rather than identity specialists, and the posture module flags dormant accounts, toxic combinations and over-privileged access. Pairing that with license and renewal data means the same review that removes access can also reclaim the seat, a practical argument for budget owners.
Where it falls short
Deep governance of legacy and on-premises applications, mainframes and complex role models is lighter than in SailPoint or Saviynt, and the role-mining and certification tooling is built for SaaS-era entitlements rather than decades of accumulated roles. It is not an IdP or SSO product; it relies on Okta, Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace for authentication. The biggest open question is strategic: a research and advisory firm now owns the product, and the long-term roadmap, pricing and support model under Infotech are not yet public. Ask for contractual commitments.
Pricing
Quote-based. Zluri's pricing link redirects to a demo request, with no published tiers or free plan. The Identity Pricing Transparency Index classes it as quote-only. Expect pricing by employee count and modules.
Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Zluri fits cloud-heavy mid-market and enterprise IT teams that want shadow SaaS discovery, access reviews and license optimization in one tool. Deployment is mostly connector configuration: weeks to a first access review, not the months typical of legacy IGA. Heavily regulated estates with on-premises applications should evaluate SailPoint, Saviynt or Omada; for a close SaaS-first peer, see Zluri vs Lumos and ConductorOne, and the IGA rankings.
Bottom line
A practical SaaS-first governance platform that ties access reviews to SaaS spend, now owned by Infotech. Strong for cloud-heavy IT teams, provided the post-acquisition roadmap checks out.
Zluri: frequently asked questions
- Who owns Zluri?
- Infotech, the Canadian IT research and advisory firm formerly known as Info-Tech Research Group, completed its acquisition of Zluri on 14 October 2026. Terms were not disclosed. Infotech says Zluri will keep serving its customers as a standalone division based in Bengaluru, and its application discovery and IGA products become modules of Infotech's new CIO Analytics platform.
- What is Zluri used for?
- Zluri discovers the SaaS and cloud applications a workforce uses, maps who has access to each, and governs that access with access requests, user access reviews, segregation of duties checks and joiner-mover-leaver automation. It also covers SaaS spend and license management, so one tool serves both IT finance and identity governance.
- How much does Zluri cost?
- Zluri does not publish pricing. Its pricing link leads to a demo request form, so every figure comes from a quote, typically scaled by the number of employees governed and the modules selected.
- Zluri vs Lumos: which is better?
- Both are SaaS-first governance platforms for mid-market and enterprise IT. Zluri leans further into SaaS management (discovery, spend, renewals) alongside IGA; Lumos leans toward access requests and just-in-time access. The Infotech acquisition is the other difference: Zluri's roadmap now sits inside a research firm's analytics platform, which is worth asking about in any evaluation.
