If you are evaluating SaaS management platforms, Torii is probably on your list. They've built a solid reputation for SaaS discovery, spend optimization, and workflow automation.

But here's the thing: Torii was built for IT operations. License management. Contract renewals. Spend tracking.

What about security?

In 2026, SaaS security isn't a nice-to-have. It's the reason your CISO is breathing down IT's neck. It's what auditors ask about first. It's what keeps you up at night after reading about the latest breach.

This guide breaks down exactly how Perimeters compares to Torii, why it's a better choice for organizations that need both SaaS management and security, and how you can consolidate two tools into one while saving money.

Where Torii Falls Short

Despite its strengths, Torii has significant limitations that become apparent when you need more than basic SaaS management:

1. Security Is an Afterthought

This is the fundamental issue. Torii was built for IT operations, not security.

According to independent reviews, Torii does not have a dedicated SaaS security module to monitor and prevent app breaches. You can't evaluate risk scores for applications. You can't assess threat levels. You can't monitor for security misconfigurations across your SaaS stack.

Torii recently added "Identity Security Posture Management" to their feature list, but it's a bolt-on to an IT operations platform, not a security-first architecture.

When the Snowflake breach exposed 500+ million records because of missing MFA and stolen credentials, organizations needed security tools that could have detected those gaps. Torii's focus on license tracking wouldn't have helped.

2. Opaque, Enterprise-Focused Pricing

Torii doesn't publish transparent pricing. You have to contact sales and go through a lengthy evaluation process just to get a quote.

What we know:

• Minimum commitment: $250/month when billed annually, $280/month billed monthly
• Per-employee pricing: Reportedly around $2.50/employee/month for basic tiers
• Enterprise tiers: Undisclosed, but reviews consistently describe Torii as "not exactly cheap" and potentially "cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations"
• Hidden costs: Multiple reviewers mention that Torii's pricing model includes costs that "add up at final billing"

This pricing opacity is a red flag for budget-conscious organizations. As one analysis put it: "The mystery begins here, as Torii doesn't disclose its pricing completely... this process can be a stretch and a major red flag for SaaS buyers."

3. Limited Direct Integrations

Torii's effectiveness depends on direct integrations with your SaaS applications. But they have a limited number of deep integrations, which means you may not get detailed insights into all applications in your SaaS stack.

Without direct integration, Torii can only provide surface-level information. You won't get granular usage data, security configurations, or permission details for applications outside their integration library.

4. Reporting and Accuracy Issues

Multiple user reviews highlight concerns about Torii's reporting:

• "The reporting was clearly underdeveloped"
• "Usage for some apps were not always accurate, which could lead to some frustration"
• "Sometimes the data it scrapes for financials is not always accurate"
• "The 'last used' data isn't always accurate since it relies on Okta session data"

For security teams that need reliable data to make risk decisions, these accuracy issues are problematic.

5. Implementation Complexity

Despite marketing claims of easy deployment, users report:

• "Implementation was pretty manual in the beginning and required a lot of time and data input"
• "Learning curve exists for advanced workflow configuration and customization"
• "Custom integrations require technical expertise for implementation"
• "Some of the application integrations can have issues from time-to-time meaning myself or IT will have to reintegrate"

6. Offboarding Doesn't Always Work

One of Torii's key value propositions is automated offboarding. But users report mixed results:

• "The promise that one click will offboard a user from everything but this isn't always the case"
• "We spent more time reviewing what Torii had missed which would have been spent on cleanly offboarding users"
• "It is easier to review offboarders manually"

For security teams, incomplete offboarding means orphaned accounts and lingering access, exactly the vulnerabilities that attackers exploit.

Enter Perimeters.io: Security-First SaaS Management

Perimeters takes a fundamentally different approach.

Instead of bolting security onto an IT operations platform, Perimeters built a security-first platform that also delivers the SaaS management capabilities you need.

The result: one platform that replaces two tools, with better security and lower cost.

5 Reasons Perimeters.io is the Better Torii Alternative

1. Security-First Architecture

Perimeters.io was built from the ground up to secure SaaS environments. Security isn't a feature we added later; it's the foundation of everything we do.

What this means for you:

• Misconfiguration detection: We continuously audit your SaaS applications against 100+ security checks per app, catching misconfigurations that create vulnerabilities
• OAuth risk management: Every third-party app connected to your SaaS environment is analyzed for risky permissions, vendor security posture, and usage patterns
• MFA monitoring: We track MFA enrollment across all users in real-time, so you know immediately when accounts lack this critical protection

• Compliance mapping: Findings are automatically mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements

Torii's recent "Identity Security Posture Management" addition is a step in the right direction, but it can't match the depth of a platform built security-first.

2. Replace Two Platforms with One

Most organizations evaluating Torii are also looking at (or already running) a separate SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) tool. That means:

• Two vendor relationships
• Two integrations to maintain
• Two dashboards to check
• Two renewal negotiations
• Two budgets to justify

Perimeters.io eliminates this complexity. You get comprehensive SaaS discovery, spend optimization, identity governance, AND security posture management in a single platform.

3. Transparent, Budget-Friendly Pricing

We believe you shouldn't need a sales call to know what a product costs.

Perimeters.io pricing: $3 per active user per month.

That's it. No minimum commitments. No hidden costs. No enterprise-tier features held hostage behind expensive upgrades.

For a 200-person organization:

• Perimeters.io: $600/month ($7,200/year)
• Torii: $1,250/month minimum, and even higher with enterprise features

But here's the real math: Perimeters.io replaces both your SaaS management tool AND your SaaS security tool. If you're currently running Torii plus an SSPM solution (or considering adding one), Perimeters.io consolidates both at a fraction of the combined cost.

4. Faster Time to Value

Torii users report implementation taking "days to weeks" with "pretty manual" setup requiring "a lot of time and data input."

Perimeters.io deploys in minutes.

How it works:

1. Connect your identity provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Okta)
2. Authorize API access to your SaaS applications
3. Perimeters.io immediately begins discovering applications, identities, and security issues

No browser extensions required. No financial system integrations needed for basic functionality. No weeks of configuration.

Within hours, you'll have:

• Complete inventory of SaaS applications
• All OAuth-connected third-party apps
• Security misconfigurations across your environment
• Identity risks (missing MFA, dormant accounts, excessive privileges)
• Compliance gaps mapped to your frameworks

5. Automated Remediation That Works

Both platforms offer automation, but the approach differs significantly.

Torii's approach: Build workflows using their no-code builder. When triggers fire, workflows execute. Useful for IT operations tasks like onboarding and offboarding.

Perimeters.io approach: One-click remediation for security issues, plus automated workflows for recurring problems.

When Perimeters.io detects a risky OAuth application, you can revoke its access with a single click. When we find a misconfiguration, we show you exactly how to fix it and often can fix it automatically. When we identify a user without MFA, you can enforce enrollment immediately.

This isn't just automation for automation's sake. It's automation designed to reduce your attack surface as quickly as possible.

Head-to-Head: Perimeters.io vs. Torii

Real-World Scenario: Why Security-First Matters

Let's walk through a scenario that illustrates the difference between Torii's IT operations approach and Perimeters.io's security-first approach.

The situation: An employee in marketing connects a new AI writing tool to Google Workspace. They grant it access to read their emails and edit their documents.

What Torii sees:

• New SaaS application discovered
• Employee using AI tool
• (Maybe) spend data if it's a paid tool

What Torii misses:

• The OAuth permissions granted (email read access is a major risk)
• Whether the vendor has adequate security practices
• Whether this app complies with your data handling policies
• The potential for data exfiltration

What Perimeters sees:

• New SaaS application discovered
• OAuth connection with email read and document edit permissions
• Vendor risk assessment (no SOC 2, data stored in non-compliant region)
• Policy violation flagged (AI tool processing company data)
• Recommended action: Revoke access, notify user and manager

The outcome:

‍With Torii, the risky application continues operating until someone manually investigates (if ever).

With Perimeters.io, the security team is alerted immediately, can revoke access with one click, and can implement policies to prevent similar issues.

This is the difference between IT operations and security.

Migration from Torii to Perimeters

If you're currently using Torii and want to switch to Perimeters.io, the migration is straightforward:

Week 1: Parallel Deployment

• Connect Perimeters.io to your identity provider and core SaaS applications
• Begin discovery and security assessment
• Compare app inventories between platforms

Week 2: Validation

• Verify Perimeters.io has discovered all applications Torii found (and likely more)
• Review security findings and begin remediation
• Set up automated workflows for critical security issues

Week 3: Transition

• Move spend tracking and optimization to Perimeters.io (if needed)
• Configure identity governance workflows
• Train team on new platform

Week 4: Decommission

• Complete transition of all use cases
• Cancel Torii subscription

Most organizations complete the migration in 2-4 weeks with minimal disruption.

The Bottom Line: One Platform, Better Security, Lower Cost

The choice between Torii and Perimeters.io comes down to what you need:

Choose Torii if:

• Your primary focus is IT operations and spend management
• Security is handled by a separate team with separate tools
• You have budget for multiple point solutions
• Opaque pricing doesn't bother you

Choose Perimeters if:

• Security is a priority alongside IT operations
• You want to consolidate SaaS management and security in one platform
• Budget matters and you want transparent, predictable pricing
• You need OAuth visibility and risk management
• You want to deploy in minutes, not weeks

For most organizations in 2026, SaaS security isn't optional. Breaches like Snowflake, Salesloft Drift, and countless others have proven that SaaS environments are prime targets.

Perimeters.io gives you comprehensive security AND the SaaS management capabilities you need, at a price that makes sense, in a platform that deploys in minutes.

That's why we're the ultimate Torii alternative.
