Auvik announced that Auvik SaaS Management (ASM) is now accessible via the Pax8 Marketplace. Building on the 2024 launch of Auvik Network Management (ANM) on the platform, this release represents a key milestone as the first SaaS management solution on Pax8 to include shadow IT and shadow AI discovery features.
Auvik is the only managed service provider (MSP) focused SaaS Management Platform (SMP) to be recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management. The solution enables MSPs to deliver licensing, usage, and security insights for the SaaS applications within their clients’ environments, helping organizations save time and money while positioning MSPs as trusted advisors.
Unparalleled Discovery Through Multi-Channel Visibility
Auvik SaaS Management delivers a unique breadth of coverage through its combination of identity provider (IdP), browser plugin, and desktop agent deployment, capturing application usage from all sources including desktop inventory, browser activity, and user authentication. This approach surfaces shadow IT and shadow AI that traditional discovery methods miss, giving MSPs complete visibility into their clients’ SaaS ecosystems.
“Even as organizations transition toward agentic AI, SaaS application usage also continues to increase and the need for robust visibility and management has never been greater,” said Oguo Atuanya, Corporate Vice President of Vendor Experience at Pax8. “By introducing Auvik SaaS Management to the Pax8 Marketplace, we’re equipping our partners with advanced tools to discover shadow IT and shadow AI, helping their clients streamline operations and take command of their evolving SaaS environments.”
Streamlined Operations with Enhanced Dashboard
Building on recent platform enhancements announced in September, ASM’s client dashboard consolidates critical information into a single control center. IT teams can quickly identify cost-saving opportunities, track security posture, provision applications, and optimize license allocation – all from one interface designed to manage the growing complexity of SaaS portfolios.
“The availability of Auvik SaaS Management on the Pax8 Marketplace makes it easier than ever for our partners to integrate comprehensive SaaS discovery and management into their service offerings,” said Mark Ralls, President at Auvik. “With the unique ability to uncover shadow IT and shadow AI, our platform helps MSPs address one of the most pressing challenges their clients face in today’s complex IT landscape while positioning themselves as trusted advisors on SaaS management.”
Centralized Procurement for Enhanced Partner Efficiency
With ASM now available on the Pax8 Marketplace, partners can procure both Auvik Network Management and Auvik SaaS Management solutions through a single trusted platform. This integration streamlines vendor management, reduces operational complexity, and enables MSPs to focus on delivering greater value to their clients.
