Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
8.0
LeanIX enhances ROI through efficient data management, cost reduction, and long-term savings, with benefits realized in 6-24 months.
Sentiment score
5.7
MEGA HOPEX improves ROI by centralizing documentation, enhancing efficiency, and simplifying tasks and licensing compared to other EA tools.
In 24 months, after you've deployed the tool and you've got a lot of good validated data, you're probably looking at consolidating and saving your organization ongoing savings that is equatable to how much the tool would cost you on a yearly basis.
The ROI is seen more on the optimization side and the ability to map applications comprehensively rather than direct cost savings.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.9
LeanIX support is generally fast and effective, despite occasional delays and variability in staff experience and SAP integration issues.
Sentiment score
7.3
MEGA HOPEX offers responsive customer service and reliable support, with paid options for complex issues and helpful community resources.
Sometimes the challenges with the first level that you actually speak to, they don't understand the problem.
The support includes engagement from Technical Advisable Management, who helps us understand and utilize new product features effectively.
For support, I'll probably give them a seven.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
LeanIX is praised for scalability and flexibility, with some performance issues; costs rise but remains user-friendly.
Sentiment score
7.3
MEGA HOPEX is scalable and adaptable for organizations, but larger implementations require careful management to avoid performance issues.
I've never seen any issues with being able to scale up or scale down the capabilities of the solution at all.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
LeanIX is praised for reliability and stability, with minor performance issues not impacting overall user satisfaction and functionality.
Sentiment score
7.3
MEGA HOPEX is generally stable, with stability varying based on customization levels, resolved issues, and external platform interactions.
We've had issues where we've had to go back to SAP and ask for help with issues that we've had with core capabilities that were supposed to be there but weren't working.
 

Room For Improvement

LeanIX users suggest improved features, better integrations, comprehensive support, intuitive interfaces, advanced AI tools, and cost-effective pricing.
MEGA HOPEX faces stability, usability, and integration issues, lacking intuitive interface, comprehensive support, and efficient customization capabilities.
They should implement their ticketing system natively within the application instead of relying on email.
A default framework would provide a base that organizations can quickly adopt and customize, reducing the time and effort spent on adoption.
The challenge with support was probably the response time.
MegaHOPEX lacks comprehensive features that a governance tool should have, particularly in data governance.
 

Setup Cost

LeanIX pricing varies by usage, with concerns over predictability and scalability; flexibility and planning are highly recommended.
MEGA HOPEX is considered expensive, with yearly licensing and consulting costs, posing challenges for smaller organizations and enterprise users.
It cost me $91,000 a year for 300 applications.
Our usage and costs depend on the number of applications, and as the number of applications grows, so does the cost.
 

Valuable Features

LeanIX provides customizable reporting, user-friendly interfaces, cost optimization, and seamless integration for both technical and business users.
MEGA HOPEX offers IT portfolio management, process mapping, compliance, and data integration, enhancing collaboration, governance, and workflow efficiency.
It ensures cost optimization by identifying duplicate applications and stopping unnecessary application onboarding.
When you align it or map it to your business capabilities, this is how you identify duplication of technologies in your business.
Being able to do the lineage all the way through so that each one of those you can pull them out into their component parts to determine exactly which areas you need to resolve, fix, plan, or build a strategy around.

Featured Reviews

Has provided a structured way to align business capabilities with IT while showing potential for support improvements
What it does is it creates a register in the documentation of all your applications and technologies. When you align or map it to your business capabilities, this is how you identify duplication of technologies in your business and how you can potentially rationalize and standardize on them. In conjunction with my business policies, LeanIX is quite effective because using it as a tool to determine what is an endorsed technology can prevent other technologies from being used. I would call it effective in preventing technology sprawl in my environment if it is used alongside my business policies. It does assist in aligning IT with business goals.
