Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has provided us with a view of the truth in terms of our application portfolio."

More Alfabet FastLane Pros →

"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets.""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.""It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications.""LeanIX has a great application information architecture.""I like the tool’s integration and maps.""Interfaces well with downstream systems of data.""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.""One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices."

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

More Alfabet FastLane Cons →

"They should improve the out of the box connectors that they provide. They should see if clients are really ready to adapt them.""They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions.""The initial setup has room for improvement.""What would make LeanIX better is more variety in terms of reporting, and more flexibility with its data importing feature.""The modeling could be improved.""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.""The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved.""It's hard to predict the pricing of the system."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I am with a third-party so am not privy to costs."
  • More Alfabet FastLane Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
