How to differentiate SaaS applications vs regular web URLs in MDCA.

In MDCA, under cloud discovery what I see is a combination of regular SaaS apps and web URLs. Is there a way to differentiate these two in cloud discovery? Or a way to differentiate them with filters...

Keith_Fleming Thanks Keith! Understood but not all apps under cloud discovery are SaaS apps so then how do you differentiate between SaaS and URL?

RavTin all apps in the app catalog are considered SaaS apps unless they are custom apps that were manually added.  Usually in this case they will be corporate developed applications but will still have an associated URL or IPs.

 

Can you provide an example here of an app that's "not" a SaaS application?

      Hi RavTin,

      We do consider this a SaaS app and have it defined in the app catalog.

        Keith_Fleming Could you please explain which fields am I looking at in that screenshot that distinguishes from regular URL? Also, is there a way to categorize SaaS app from the fields under General, Security, Compliance and Legal?

         

        Thanks,
