Vendor Management Software
Gatekeeper: features, pricing and who it fits
Gatekeeper brings a vendor register, contracts and eSign together, with no cap on users or eSign licences. Cost is set by the number of third parties you track. Balanced scorecards begin on Enterprise, MarketIQ monitoring is usage-based, and setup may need vendor help.
Who Gatekeeper is for
Best for
- Mid-size and enterprise teams managing 250 to 750+ third parties with many internal users
- Teams wanting vendor repository, contracts and eSign in one tool, with NetSuite sync
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers who want a published price before a demo
- Teams needing a deep security-ratings feed on every plan (financial health and cyber monitoring sit in MarketIQ Full, usage-based)
