Alfabet FastLane vs LeanIX comparison

"The solution has provided us with a view of the truth in terms of our application portfolio."

"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."

"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."

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

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

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

"I can develop a report and then do a presentation, or develop a report and some other diagrams and then put them all in one presentation, and from there, I can present things directly, so there is no need to move images."

"For the reporting capabilities, LeanIX provides dashboards for different levels, including CXO dashboards. There are plenty of dashboards for reporting."

"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."

"The initial setup is challenging because it relies on information from different stakeholders."

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

"The initial setup has room for improvement."

"The modeling 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."

"What would make LeanIX better is more variety in terms of reporting, and more flexibility with its data importing feature."

"I think the tool's main issue might be direct integrations."

"The solution’s API integration needs to improve. I would like to see a digital screen watch feature also in the solution."

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

"I am with a third-party so am not privy to costs."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"It cost me $91,000 a year for 300 applications. For any enterprise, 300 applications are minimal, as many have well over 1,000 applications."

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

"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."
