Subble vs CoreView

CoreView secures and manages Microsoft 365. Subble matches licence tiers to usage across all your apps.

CoreView is best in class at delegated administration and configuration management for Microsoft 365. It limits delegated admins to the rights their jobs need and backs up and restores tenant configuration. A Global Administrator grants consent at setup, and CoreView then uses admin roles with write access. Its licence features cover Microsoft only: its reports identify duplicated licences, and its policies can find and remove unused licences automatically. Subble is a licence analytics tool for every SaaS and AI app your organisation pays for. It finds unused licences, and it finds people who use an app but never use the paid features that come with their tier. It then tells you which licences to remove or downgrade and what each change saves. It's read-only, and it takes minutes to set up with prebuilt connectors.

Why choose Subble?

Match licence tiers to feature use

CoreView finds unused Microsoft licences and can take them back automatically. An admin can also build a filter in CoreView to list the people on one plan who haven't used a chosen service. Subble finds unused licences too, and it checks whether each person uses the paid features that come with their tier, without anyone building a filter. It recommends Visio Plan 1 for someone assigned a Plan 2 licence who only uses Visio in the browser. If someone with a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot licence uses Copilot Chat but none of the Copilot features inside apps such as Word, Excel and Teams, Subble recommends removing the paid licence.

The same analysis across every vendor

Subble runs the same analysis on every licence you pay for. It connects to more than 100 SaaS and AI apps, including Microsoft 365, Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, Autodesk, Zoom, ChatGPT and Claude. CoreView's licence features cover Microsoft's products. For other vendors, CoreView lists apps connected to Microsoft 365 and their permissions for security review, rather than showing how people use them.

Read-only access, minutes to set up

CoreView's job is to change the tenant, so it needs write access. A Global Administrator grants consent at setup, and CoreView then uses admin roles. CoreView's licence savings often start two to three weeks in, once reports, dashboards and licence pools are set up. Subble is read-only, and it takes minutes to set up with prebuilt connectors for your identity provider and SaaS apps.

Subble and CoreView do different jobs

CoreView is best in class at delegated administration and configuration management for Microsoft 365, so keep it for that. It checks more than 8,000 settings for risks and uses policies to fix problems it finds. Subble reads licence and usage data to recommend which licences to remove or downgrade across your apps. Its read-only access leaves everything CoreView manages unchanged.

“It was a very easy process. I just had to get a couple of guys from the technical team and they did the integrations, and it hardly took 30 minutes to bring Microsoft, Adobe and Atlassian up and running in the system.”

“I will be able to definitively say, this person does not use these features. They can go to an E1. And it's not an argument, and it's not a gut feeling or a series of interviews or a manager's opinion. It is a fact based on logs, which no one can argue with.”

“What you guys do, far better than what a lot of people do in the market, much better than what Microsoft do in a more holistic sense.”

Frequently asked questions

Subble analyses licences across every app you pay for, Microsoft's products included. It finds unused licences and checks whether the features each person uses justify their paid tier. Its access is read-only, and it takes minutes to set up.

For licences, yes. Subble tells you which licences to remove or downgrade across your SaaS and AI apps. Keep CoreView for delegated administration and configuration management for Microsoft 365. It's best in class at both.

Yes. CoreView administers and secures Microsoft 365, while Subble analyses licence costs and feature usage across your apps to recommend which licences to remove or downgrade. Subble only reads, so adding it leaves everything CoreView manages unchanged.

Subble finds unused licences and people on the wrong tier across every app you pay for, including Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, Autodesk, Zoom, ChatGPT and Claude. In Microsoft 365, admins build CoreView filters one service at a time. Subble checks whether each person uses their tier's paid features: it recommends Visio Plan 1 for someone assigned a Plan 2 licence who only uses Visio in the browser, and removing a paid Copilot licence when someone uses Copilot Chat but none of the Copilot features inside the Microsoft 365 apps.

Subble takes minutes to set up using prebuilt, read-only connectors. Connect your identity provider and your SaaS apps, and Subble shows you how much you could save.
