Pros
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pros →

"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.""The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem.""It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications.""LeanIX has good usability and stability. This SaaS is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a nice reporting feature.""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 ability to import data and generate reports from it. That's where its power lies.""The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets.""I like LeanIX's ease of use in general."

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

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Cons →

"Does a poor job of being able to allocate detailed costings to components within the network.""It would be beneficial to have additional features and capabilities to enhance mapping between applications, especially across domains where the relationships may not be direct.""The modeling could be improved.""What would make LeanIX better is more variety in terms of reporting, and more flexibility with its data importing feature.""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.""The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data.""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."
  • More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management 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."
