Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of this solution are its customizability, and flexibility in the configuration.""The initial setup was straightforward. It takes two to three days to set up the environment. One person was able to handle the implementation.""The taxonomy support across all the phases is the most advantageous feature."

"For the reporting capabilities, LeanIX provides dashboards for different levels, including CXO dashboards. There are plenty of dashboards for reporting.""It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications.""We've been able to develop some nice looking reports, and the dashboard's capability to map is very easy compared to Enterprise Architect.""The usability is very high. It almost looks like a Facebook for Enterprise architecture, it's pretty nice. It's HTML5 based. The repository is very easy. It has 10 different ways of sorting the objects you have in your architecture repository. Maintaining new data or to add data to your repository is very easy.""The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem.""One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices.""The most valuable feature would be application portfolio management, which is where they came from, but over time, they have got artificial intelligence. They built up a very good repository. If I identify a system by name, from historical information, oftentimes, they can tell me that this is deployed with this number of CPUs and they can give me a really good profile of the application for me to put it into a change management database with very little effort.""Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."

Cons
"The product is not great at implementing security frameworks across an end-to-end supply chain.""The user experience, the layout and the different technologies behind the presentations are a bit old. These need to be updated. They should focus on web development. It's simply not supporting the current user experience guidelines.""We would like to see the visualization of assets, as well as artificial intelligence techniques to assist us in making our decisions."

"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved.""They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions.""The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data.""Report generation could be more detailed. There are some shortcomings when creating reports. We can't create tag-based reports or go beyond basic technical reports.""LeanIX has limited in-build diagramming capabilities, requiring the purchase of another tool. That is the main drawback of LeanIX because they don't have a built-in add-on product for diagramming.""They should improve the out of the box connectors that they provide. They should see if clients are really ready to adapt them.""It would be beneficial to have additional features and capabilities to enhance mapping between applications, especially across domains where the relationships may not be direct.""Another area for improvement is that when you're starting to look into more advanced information, using the solution's APIs and its customizations, documentation for that specific aspect is not very good. There is not too much support built into the offering for that aspect, for a developer."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "As the tool is cloud-based, its cost is more affordable."
  • "The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products."
  • "There is a sweet spot of where they need to be on pricing right now. They could go up a little bit in pricing, but it has to do with the cost savings, and it has to do with the practitioners using it. I use it where I get cost savings and I can justify it, but they probably have the ability to flex a 10% up channel on their sales on that. So, they could increase their settle price, not their offering price, when they sell. They can probably hold that up a little bit higher than it is because there are cost savings that we can drive from it."
  • "The tool needs to include more flexible licensing options. We do not use the tool all the time. So pricing should be considered only when we use the tool."
  • "I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money."
  • "LeanIX uses application-based account licensing, where the cost is multiplied by the number of applications in the software implementation."
