Do your searches always hit dead ends?

Nearly half of users abandon a search without getting the result they wanted. Instead, they’re stuck in a loop of irrelevant results, slow-to-load articles and contradicting advice.

Old Integrations Rarely Get Reviewed

Over time, companies connect tools together — CRM to marketing, HR to payroll, SaaS to cloud storage. Years later, many of these integrations remain active but unmonitored.

API Connections Outlive Their Purpose

A temporary integration for a project may still have valid API keys and access scopes long after the project ended.

Permissions Are Often Overly Broad

Integrations frequently request full read/write access when only limited permissions are needed. Excess scope increases potential damage if compromised.

Are you tracking agent views on your docs?

AI agents already outnumber human visitors to your docs — now you can track them.

Compromised Vendors Extend Risk

If a third-party tool is breached, its authorized integration becomes an attacker’s pathway into your environment.

Monitoring Rarely Covers Integration Behavior

Most logging focuses on user activity — not machine-to-machine communication. Malicious API activity can blend into normal traffic.

Audit and Restrict Regularly

Review all active integrations quarterly. Remove unused connections, reduce permission scopes, rotate API keys, and monitor anomalous API usage patterns.

Renewals stop being a fire drill.

Most churn blindsides the CSM in renewal week. Champion left. Usage dropped. NPS slid months ago.
