Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

"The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem."

"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."

"The ability to import data and generate reports from it. That's where its power lies."

"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."

"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 most valuable features are the clean user interface and the fact sheet feature in Application Portfolio Management. The tool integrates well with ServiceNow, which is the usual CMDB platform."

"I like the tool’s integration and maps."

"It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications."

More LeanIX pros

Cons

"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."

"I find LeanIX's pricing expensive for the functionality it offers. However, with the acquisition by SAP, the pricing might become more affordable due to scale and tiered application pricing. Currently, it offers different tiers for the first 400 applications: 400 to 600 and 600 to 1,000, making it expensive from a pricing standpoint."

"The modeling could be improved."

"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved."

"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."

"Improvements in user interface simplicity could be made, particularly with the reporting and filtering capabilities."

"Does a poor job of being able to allocate detailed costings to components within the network."

"It's hard to predict the pricing of the system."

"Not a ten because you always have that gap between complexity and easy to use. And the more complex the tool becomes, the more difficult it is to get the usability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."

"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."

"LeanIX uses application-based account licensing, where the cost is multiplied by the number of applications in the software implementation."

"As the tool is cloud-based, its cost is more affordable."

"I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products."

"The pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money."

"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."
