Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments.""The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem.""I like LeanIX's ease of use in general.""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.""We've been able to develop some nice looking reports, and the dashboard's capability to map is very easy compared to Enterprise Architect.""LeanIX has good usability and stability. This SaaS is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a nice reporting feature."

"The solution's most valuable feature is ArchiMate which I use daily.""We have found the technical support to be helpful."

Cons
"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.""They should improve the out of the box connectors that they provide. They should see if clients are really ready to adapt them.""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.""They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions.""The solution’s API integration needs to improve. I would like to see a digital screen watch feature also in the solution.""The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data.""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.""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 solution should allow easier access with enhanced customization options for web page DHTML.""The user-friendliness could be even better."

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."

  • "The solution's Ultimate Plan costs $399 per year."
