Find out what your peers are saying about LeanIX, Sparx Systems, erwin by Quest and others in Enterprise Architecture Management."LeanIX has a great application information architecture."
"The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem."
"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."
"Among the most valuable features are the easy-to-use interface and the ability to get quick results... Many tools that I have seen are great for technical people and for giving technical and business information as well, but they're not as friendly and easy as LeanIX... It works well for both technical and business users. It provides a good combination, enabling you to quickly put valuable information in for both technical and non-technical people and derive results."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."
"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 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 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."
"I like how the product integrates with other technical solutions."
"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."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data."
"The modeling could be improved."
"They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions."
"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."
"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."
"Some parts of the system are exclusive, so we can't work with them."
