Coax vs Productiv

Coax is agentless and EU-first, discovering SaaS through email and IdP scanning with built-in security monitoring. Productiv is agent-based and US-focused, requiring browser extensions on every device for usage analytics. Coax also includes security features that Productiv doesn't offer.

No. Coax is fully agentless — there's nothing to install on employee devices. It discovers apps by scanning email metadata and identity provider records. Productiv requires browser agents on every machine for its usage analytics, which means IT tickets, employee friction, and ongoing maintenance.

Yes. Coax tracks SaaS usage through email activity signals and identity provider login data. While Productiv uses browser-level instrumentation for deeper per-app analytics, Coax's agentless approach covers the full SaaS landscape without requiring anything installed on devices.

Coax is purpose-built for mid-market companies with 50-1,000 employees, but it scales to larger organizations. The key difference is pricing and complexity — Coax delivers enterprise-grade capabilities without the enterprise-only pricing and lengthy implementation that Productiv requires.

Coax offers mid-market pricing designed for companies with 50-1,000 employees. Productiv targets large enterprises with 5,000+ employees, with pricing to match. Coax gives you SaaS discovery, cost optimization, and security monitoring at a fraction of what enterprise-only tools charge.
