I get a lot of questions about ITAM, SaaS, & FinOps tools – what is available, what do they do, which are the best etc.
The ITAM market has quite a few tools, there are several SaaS tools, and the FinOps tool market is huge…unnecessarily so some may say. This presents (at least) 2 problems:
- Potential customers are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
- Genuinely innovative tools can be lost in a sea of marketing and promotion
In an attempt to help bring some clarity, I’ve started a crowd-sourced tool list here:

that currently contains 147 records…this has increase by 14% in the last 2 weeks!
The initial aim is to have a centrally available list of all the tools with some high level categorisation i.e. “SAM”, “FinOps”, “AWS only” etc. From there, I hope to add more info to help people dig deeper. Let me know what would be helpful for you!
If you think I’ve missed any – please add them here:
