Treasure Data faced challenges managing access to multiple SaaS applications. Their previous tool, Trelica, fell short in accurately tracking app access and privileges, lacking centralized access control and detailed reporting. This made user access tracking slow and risky. As their workforce grew, the lack of visibility made compliance more difficult.

Challenge
We were dealing with two major challenges: managing access to our growing number of SaaS applications and obtaining accurate usage and spend reports for SaaS optimization.
One of the critical issues was overprivileged access—some users had unnecessary permissions to apps beyond what their roles required. This not only created compliance risks but also exposed the organization to potential security vulnerabilities.
New employees often experienced delays in gaining access to required apps. These delays disrupted their onboarding experience and slowed their productivity right from the start.
Another major challenge was the incomplete deprovisioning of ex-employees. Many former employees retained access to certain SaaS applications long after leaving the organization.
This occurred because the IT team didn’t have the bandwidth to manually visit every app to provision or deprovision users. With hundreds of tools to manage, the manual process was time-consuming and prone to errors.
Solution
"CloudEagle.ai helped us streamline access governance with advanced features like RBAC, just-in-time access control, and privileged access management (PAM). The platform provided real-time insights into user access and activity, improving visibility, reporting, security, and compliance."
- Mathew Abraham, Senior IT Manager, Treasure Data
Centralized access management
CloudEagle.ai helped Treasure Data automate and centralize app access management across their SaaS stack. They could easily integrate it with their existing tools, allowing access and permissions to be managed from one dashboard. Automated workflows sped up user provisioning and deprovisioning, and access frameworks like RBAC and Just-in-time access ensured only authorized individuals could access critical systems.
Enhanced reporting and analytics
With CloudEagle.ai’s direct integrations, Treasure Data was able to generate detailed, customized reports with granular insights into user access and system activity. These reports included data on permission changes, login patterns, and application usage, all seamlessly pulled from integrated SaaS applications. This enhanced visibility helped improve security, ensure compliance, and optimize SaaS usage across the organization.
Centralized access control
CloudEagle.ai improved access management by assigning permissions based on user roles, ensuring access was limited to only the necessary apps and data. Its just-in-time access control reduced security risks by automatically adjusting access according to set time limits. The platform also enabled regular app access reviews, simplifying audits and ensuring compliance by tracking who had access to what and when.
Impact
Enhanced access governance
Treasure Data no longer worries about user access, thanks to CloudEagle.ai’s access management capabilities. Their IT team can now grant access based on user roles and provide access privileges for a specific time period, safeguarding sensitive data. Workflows continue to help the IT team grant/revoke user access automatically, ensuring productivity from Day 1 and preventing unauthorized access from ex-employees.
License recovery through automation
Using CloudEagle.ai’s reclamation workflows, Treasure Data identified and reclaimed unused licenses automatically. By comparing app usage with license allocations, they avoided paying for unused subscriptions. This efficient process ensured that resources were used effectively, maximizing SaaS investments and improving overall efficiency.
Cost optimization with detailed usage data
CloudEagle.ai’s detailed reporting helped Treasure Data analyze software usage in detail, highlighting unused or underutilized SaaS tools. By rationalizing unnecessary licenses and consolidating redundant subscriptions, the customer saved significantly on SaaS costs. This data-driven strategy enabled smarter purchase decisions and improved resource allocation.
