Security leads in SaaS duplication, driving cost and risk

As of December 2025, Security tools have overtaken development as the most duplicated category, reflecting growing demand for threat detection, system monitoring and compliance across multiple teams.

Development, Collaboration, Marketing and Sales platforms also continue to see overlap as teams expand tech stacks independently to meet evolving needs. This redundancy drives overspend, creates inefficiencies, and increases operational and compliance risk, highlighting the need for centralized visibility, usage tracking and proactive strategies to optimize SaaS usage and reduce duplication.
