Step 2: Get Started with the Walkthrough
When you log in for the first time, you’ll be guided through a “Get Started” flow that walks you through connecting your environment and exploring your first insights.
You’ll have two options:
-
Option 1: Connect your environment – Provide credentials for key integrations (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure, AWS) to start pulling in your organization’s real data.
-
Option 2: Explore the demo customer – If you’re not ready to connect data yet, you can still experience the platform’s capabilities using preloaded demo data.
This ensures you can start exploring reports and insights immediately, even if your data connections are not yet configured.
Step 3: Connecting Key Integrations
Integrations are the heart of your trial experience, they enable live data collection from the tools you already use, powering your reports with real insights.
To set up integrations:
-
Click the gear icon (top right).
-
Select Integrations.
-
Choose a service and follow the prompts to authorize access.
Some of the most valuable integrations include:
-
Microsoft 365 – User activity, licensing optimization, and Microsoft Secure Score insights.
-
Microsoft 365 – OneDrive & SharePoint – Collects file metadata, access history, and risk indicators.
-
Microsoft Secure Score – Surfaces configuration and security best practices.
-
Google Workspace – User and license data for Gmail, Drive, and other Workspace services.
-
Azure and AWS – Cloud compute usage, cost insights, and security visibility.
-
Okta System Logs – Authentication logs to help you understand SaaS usage patterns.
Setup usually takes 5–10 minutes. The more integrations you connect, the richer and more actionable your insights will be.
Step 4: Exploring Reports
Once your data is ingested, or you choose to explore using the demo customer, you can start viewing and interacting with reports.

-
Identify unused or underutilized licenses and cut unnecessary costs.
-
Understand SaaS adoption and shadow IT in your environment.
-
Gain visibility into cloud resource usage and potential savings opportunities.
