Bugs found in Binadox SaaS: QAwerk Bug Crawl
Binadox is a SaaS platform that optimizes subscriptions and expenses on SaaS and cloud applications. With this tool, companies can detect inactive resources and unused services that cause cloud spending issues. And with this information, you can get the best out of software licensing before expiration.
The Binadox cloud management system also provides actionable intel and recommendations about lucrative deals on cloud infrastructure. You can also integrate services from Adobe, Amazon, Salesforce, Google, and Microsoft. And most importantly, Binadox offers a SaaS (and cloud) security management system that protects sensitive data.
