"The product has a valuable customized model."
"Ease of use is the most valuable feature. From an enterprise architecture perspective, it's not too cumbersome with too many functionalities, yet it has a lot of attributes for the content it covers."
"LeanIX has a great application information architecture."
"The ability to import data and generate reports from it. That's where its power lies."
"I like the tool’s integration and maps."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."
"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."
"I like LeanIX's ease of use in general."
"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."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."

"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"They should improve the out of the box connectors that they provide. They should see if clients are really ready to adapt them."
"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."
"They're probably positioned pretty well. I hope that they would not focus that much on the business architecture, and they would focus more on the overall cloud strategy and how we can leverage multi-cloud and transition back and forth from other cloud providers. With a lot of current vendors, you get locked in with one cloud, and then you try to migrate to someone else, and it becomes very problematic. What they need to do is to look at the overall data strategy, and they probably need to amplify their data strategy, especially around multi-cloud."
"The solution’s API integration needs to improve. I would like to see a digital screen watch feature also in the solution."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions."
"It's hard to predict the pricing of the system."
