Comparing Corma and Zluri? Both platforms discover the apps your company uses, govern who has access to them and cut the licenses nobody needs. This comparison covers SaaS discovery, lifecycle automation, access requests, access reviews, license optimization, renewals, hosting and total cost.
Zluri has travelled furthest from where it started. Founded in 2020 as a discovery and spend tool, it now calls itself a next-generation identity governance platform. Discovery draws on SSO, finance systems, direct integrations and browser and desktop agents. On top sit lifecycle workflows that reach beyond SCIM, Slack-first access requests, multi-level access reviews down to SSO groups, segregation of duties and an identity risk module that also covers service accounts and AI agents. Gartner named Zluri a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for SaaS Management Platforms in 2024 and 2025. In October 2026 Infotech acquired the company, and its discovery and governance products are becoming modules of Infotech's CIO Analytics platform.
Corma is identity-first by design rather than by expansion. It connects to the identity provider and HR system you already run, ties every application, license and euro to a person and their access, and runs onboarding, offboarding, access requests and reviews in one product instead of separate modules. It is hosted in the EU, ISO 27001 certified and supported in English, French and German, and you can start on a free tier without a sales cycle.
The dividing line is depth versus footprint. Zluri suits large enterprises that want the deepest identity governance catalogue and can scope a multi-module rollout. Corma suits growing IT teams that want the core controls live within days to weeks, with their data staying in Europe. Read the full Corma versus Zluri comparison to see which fits your team.
The Comparison
Zluri began as a SaaS discovery and spend platform and has grown into an identity governance suite for enterprises: identity visibility, governance, identity risk posture and SaaS management, each sold as its own module. Corma starts where Zluri has arrived, at identity and access, and puts lifecycle, requests, reviews and license control into one product for growing IT teams. Both govern access; they differ in depth, footprint and how quickly a mid-market team gets to value.

How much identity governance do you need?
Zluri has grown from SaaS discovery into a full identity governance suite, with separate modules for visibility, governance, identity risk and SaaS management, built for enterprises with a team to run them and part of Infotech since October 2026. Corma covers the core of that ground in a single identity-first product: lifecycle, access requests, reviews and license control, hosted in the EU and ready for a growing IT team within days to weeks. If you need segregation of duties and non-human identity posture today, Zluri goes further. If you need the essentials running and provable to an auditor, a demo on your own stack shows how quickly Corma gets you there.
