This article explains what each metric and panel means and how the numbers are calculated.
Note: Spend values update after each analysis run. If you change a value like Budgeted Annual Spend, the dashboard won't reflect it until the next analysis completes.
Top-line metrics
Potential cost savings
The sum of app spend across four savings opportunities:
Inactive or abandoned accounts in paid apps
Possibly redundant apps
Paid apps with single or no users
Unapproved paid apps
Total SaaS spend discovered
The sum of all app spend in your environment, including AWS spend (which is derived differently from other apps - see Rogue AWS spend below).
Each app's spend is the sum of all billings Nudge Security has discovered for it. If no receipts were found, the Budgeted Annual Spend is used instead, if you've set one.
Paid apps
The number of paid apps in your environment. An app counts as paid when its "Paid app" label is true, which happens either when Nudge discovers billing for the app or when you set a Budgeted Annual Spend for it manually.
Total individual subscription spend
The sum of spend detected as coming from individual subscriptions rather than organizational contracts.
Avg spend per user
The average spend per user across your organization.
Spend on apps with low user counts
The sum of all spend on apps that have one or no users.
Dashboard panels
Spend breakdown
Aggregates spend by the dimension you choose, such as Category or Cost center. The total won't match Total SaaS spend discovered as this breakdown excludes AWS spend.
Inactive or abandoned accounts in paid apps
Shows spend tied to accounts marked Inactive or Abandoned in paid apps. The Spend column reflects only those inactive or abandoned accounts, not the app's total spend.
The estimated savings counter on "Run our playbook and save an estimated X" sums the spend of all inactive or abandoned paid accounts across your organization.
Possibly redundant apps
Shows the spend of apps that have similar apps in your environment, so you can compare them side by side. Total similar app spend adds up the spend of all the apps in each overlapping group. Because Nudge doesn't know which app you prefer to keep, every app in a group is included in the total; treat it as the spend under review, not the amount you'd save.
Apps with upcoming renewal dates
Lists apps with renewal dates between now and the end of the year, so you can renegotiate or cancel before contracts auto-renew.
Paid apps with single users
Shows spend on apps with one or even zero users detected.
Unapproved paid apps
Shows spend on apps that are set to "Not permitted" or have no approval status.
Rogue AWS spend
Shows spend from rogue AWS accounts. The estimated savings counter takes the average monthly billing and projects it across a full year.
Apps with individual subscriptions
Shows spend on apps where billing was detected as coming from individual subscriptions, often a sign of expensing outside your procurement process.
