Blissfully vs. Vendr

If companies are looking for ways to manage their on-boarding and off-boarding processes you won't find a better tool than Blissfully. Blissfully also does a nice job of surfacing SAAS software that your staff is using. It is a great tool to use to help keep your SAAS accounts accurate.

My experience with Vendr has overall been quite good; they are invested in making sure their companies get the best possible discount and I appreciate both the money and time save they provide for me. Be aware that, while they will support any software spend over $5K, there are certain products (like Notion and Slack) that, unless you are a much bigger company, they will not be able to secure you savings on. There are also the occasional company that will not work with Vendr, though this is the exception, not the rule.

• I would love to have more access to the data insights they're using in terms of pricing benchmarks.
• As we utilize a different software to manage workflow spend approval, it would be ideal if Vendr could expand their systems in that way.
• Notes on contract preferences seem to be very manually maintained, which can result in occasional oversights.

We initially investigated other alternatives, but found that Blissfully was well suited for our needs. It had a good amount of pre-built functionality which was built based off of Blissfully's expertise; but also the ability to customize where we needed. Additionally, other solutions try to do A LOT more, which makes it much more cumbersome to move over to because you're changing multiple systems as opposed to augmenting specific processes.

Vendr is very closely aligned feature wise with Tropic. The main separation between the two is that Tropic provides more workflow tools and pricing insights while Vendr has come in at a lower price point as compared to Vendr.
