By Setyl · HQ London, United Kingdom · 4.8/5 verified-buyer score

Positioning guardrails

Best for

  • IT teams that need one register of hardware, software, licences, users, vendors and spend
  • Mid-market and scaling companies with a large SaaS estate and limited IT headcount
  • Organizations preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2 or Cyber Essentials audits
  • Teams wanting fast deployment via out-of-the-box Microsoft, Google, MDM, RMM and HR integrations
  • MSPs and MSSPs managing IT assets and licences on behalf of clients

Ideal size: 50–1,000 people · Scale-up with 100+ SaaS apps and a small IT or ITAM team

Not for

  • Very small businesses with only a handful of devices and no dedicated IT function
  • Buyers wanting a full ITSM or service desk suite rather than asset and licence management
  • Teams that require published self-serve pricing and instant sign-up
  • Highly regulated buyers needing public-sector certifications the vendor does not evidence

Bottom line

Setyl is a cloud-based IT asset and software licence management platform for IT teams. It consolidates hardware, software, licences, users, vendors and spend in one place through 100+ integrations with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, MDM/RMM, HR and finance systems. Customers use it to automate onboarding and offboarding, rightsize licences, cut wasted IT spend and prepare for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits. Plans start at $300 per month with unlimited assets, and the vendor says setup can take as little as one hour.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to implement Setyl?

Setyl states that organizations can be up and running in as little as one hour. Implementation involves connecting existing data sources such as Microsoft, Google, MDM, RMM, IdP/IAM and HR systems to import people, assets, software and licences, then configuring workflow and automation rules. An Advanced Managed plan is available if you would rather have Setyl's team perform onboarding, data reconciliation and ongoing maintenance.

How is Setyl priced?

Setyl publishes three plans — Complete, Advanced and Advanced Managed — each starting from $300 per month, with pricing quoted per organization after a demo. Assets and licences are unlimited on every plan. The Advanced Managed tier adds a named Setyl expert, managed onboarding and continuous data maintenance. Discounted rates are offered to non-profits, and separate plans exist for MSPs and MSSPs.

What compliance and audit support does Setyl provide?

Setyl includes an information asset register, access controls, lifecycle tracking, vendor audits, activity logs and offboarding workflows intended to help teams prepare for ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials and similar audits. The vendor's pricing FAQ states that Setyl holds ISO 27001 Information Security Management certification and that customers can security audit the platform before implementation.

Does Setyl integrate with our existing IT stack?

Yes. Setyl lists 100+ integrations across Microsoft 365 and Entra, Google Workspace, Okta, JumpCloud, MDM and RMM tools such as Intune, Jamf and NinjaOne, HR platforms including Workday, HiBob and BambooHR, finance systems such as NetSuite and Xero, service desks like Jira and Zendesk, plus API access and a SAML 2.0 option.

What return on investment should we expect?

Setyl says up to 30% of IT spend is wasted through ineffective management of licences and assets, and that customers using its licence optimization and savings features typically recover between 1x and 4x the annual cost of Setyl. Savings come from recovering assets at offboarding, avoiding surprise renewals and cancelling unused software.

Who is Setyl not a good fit for?

Setyl focuses on IT asset and software licence management rather than full ITSM or helpdesk functionality, so teams wanting a complete service management suite should look elsewhere. Very small organizations with few devices and no IT function are also unlikely to see enough value, and there is no self-serve sign-up with published list pricing.
