FinOps scope · SaaS
FinOps for the SaaS sprawl.
Beyond your Azure bill: governance for the third-party SaaS your teams buy on credit cards. Datadog, Snowflake, Notion, Figma — all in the same governance fabric. 90% of FinOps practices now manage SaaS spend, up from 65% the year before (State of FinOps 2026).
The problem
The SaaS shadow IT problem.
Marketplace + SaaS sprawl.
Azure Marketplace SaaS, direct SaaS, dev tools — bought across cards and contracts, never reconciled.
No idle-seat detection.
Datadog seats outlive engineers. Snowflake credits run idle overnight.
No unified ownership.
Who owns the Notion bill? No one.
How CloudMonitor answers
What CloudMonitor does.
Marketplace cost surfacing.
Azure Marketplace SaaS subscriptions appear in CloudMonitor reports natively.
SaaS cost groups.
Group third-party SaaS spend by team and project, like any other cost.
Idle-seat hooks.
Connect to Datadog, Snowflake, Notion APIs and surface idle seats automatically.
SaaS spend in CloudMonitor
Third-party SaaS, in the same reports.
Marketplace and direct SaaS land in the cost groups and tag reports you already use for Azure — so the sprawl finally has an owner.
Tagged and grouped
SaaS spend grouped like any other cost.
Azure Marketplace subscriptions and direct SaaS appear next to Azure spend, grouped by tag — so Datadog and Snowflake stop living outside the FinOps report.
Per-team ownership
Every SaaS line gets an owner.
Assign SaaS spend to teams and projects through cost groups, so the question "who owns the Notion bill?" has an answer in the report instead of a shrug.
