What is Perk (TravelPerk)?

TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.

TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.

What is Zluri?

Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.

Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.

Perk (TravelPerk) vs Zluri: editorial side-by-side

P5.0

TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.

◆ Current state

TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is expanding the surface where approvals happen rather than reinventing the booking flow itself, betting that meeting approvers where they already work cuts trip-cycle time. The North America push (toll-free line, expense integrations, region-specific posts) signals a deliberate market focus. Expect continued surface expansion plus a more developed events product.

◆ Prediction

The next directional move likely deepens the approvals automation with policy-aware auto-approve rules and tighter ties between expense integrations and the booking flow. North America support hours and integrations will keep expanding to close the gap with regional incumbents.

2.5

Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.

◆ Current state

Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is maturing its IGA surface incrementally rather than pivoting, but the direction within that is consistent: each release moves a decision from an individual to a rule. Approver notes captured context that used to live in someone's head, user-based reviews let one scope replace app-by-app setup, and admin-enforced duration takes the last free-text field in the request flow and makes it configurable centrally. Existing rules keep following the requester's duration until changed, so adoption is opt-in.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same enforced-versus-requested pattern to reach the other request fields admins currently cannot constrain, and the duration banner and notification labelling to become the template for showing which parts of a request were organization-set.
