The problem
You don’t know what’s running on your fleet
And it’s costing you more than you think.
873 licenses paid for, never opened
Adobe CC deployed on 200 seats. 68 open it. 47 use it less than 5 min/month. Your SAM says “installed.” Reality: €174,000/year in ghost licenses across the fleet.
Your teams install without you
Notion, Canva, Grammarly — installed outside IT’s process. No license tracked. No usage measured. No security review. Your software catalog is fiction.
The auditor calls. What do you say?
Which apps are licensed? Which aren’t? Which run outside IT’s process? If you can’t answer in 30 seconds, you have a problem.
sobrii doesn’t check what’s installed.
It measures what’s actually used. Application by application. Device by device.

FAQ
How does sobrii measure real usage?
The sobrii agent measures focus time — how long each application is in the foreground with keyboard/mouse activity. An app open in the background doesn’t count. It’s the only way to distinguish “installed” from “actually used.”
What’s the difference from a traditional SAM?
A traditional SAM checks “installed or not.” sobrii measures real usage: how long, how often, by whom. That’s what detects ghost licenses — the 15-30% of budget most organizations waste without knowing.
How quickly do I see results?
The agent collects data immediately. Within 48h, you see your first ghost licenses. Within 7 days, the full picture: bloatware, shadow IT, and recoverable licenses per application.
How does shadow IT detection work?
sobrii detects any application installed outside the standard IT catalog. Every inventoried application can be classified per your policies: authorized, tolerated, or to be removed.
Does sobrii cover browser extensions too?
Yes. sobrii inventories Chrome, Edge and Firefox extensions across the fleet. Unapproved extensions, outdated versions, risky plugins — all visible in the same module.
