Alfabet FastLane vs LeanIX comparison

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

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

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

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

"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 include the reporting capabilities and the LeanIX Academy's educational resources."

"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 good usability and stability. This SaaS is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a nice reporting feature."

"The solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments."

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

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

"Adjustments related to specific organizational requirements are complex."

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

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

"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'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."

"LeanIX should improve its support services."

"The solution uses Gartner's time-based framework for application rationalization. One more thing that you can consider is having some add-on frameworks for the same, not just Gartner."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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