| Managing Director at Global Information Technology Corporation | 4.5 | I've used LeanIX for two years, finding its features valuable for defining enterprise architecture processes. Despite needing improvements in process flow solutions, it integrates well compared to Sparks. LeanIX is my preferred choice over previous solutions like Visio and spreadsheets. |
| Senior Manager - Devops& Cloud (Design, Delivery & Testing) at Anheuser-Busch InBev | 4.0 | We use LeanIX for enterprise architecture management, enabling application mapping and cost optimization. Its dashboards and fact sheets enhance decision-making, though it needs industry-specific frameworks for better adoption. Our ROI is seen in optimization and comprehensive application mapping. |
| Supervisor, Field Operations at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees | 2.5 | I use LeanIX for enterprise architecture and appreciate its attribute-driven surveys. However, its support services need improvement, such as implementing a native ticketing system and providing US-based support instead of relying on overseas assistance. |
| Enterprise Architect at E.ON | 4.0 | I primarily use LeanIX to manage architectural models and generate reports for IT governance at EON. Its valuable reporting features and educational resources are beneficial, but the user interface could be simpler to improve the user experience. |
| Business manager at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I used LeanIX for application rationalization and portfolio optimization, valuing its ease of use, flexibility, and compatibility. While its enterprise architecture features are strong, it needs improvement in business architecture. LeanIX outperformed alternatives like Thick Navio and Solonis. |
| Consultant at Ngen Consulting | 5.0 | We primarily use LeanIX for app rationalization, focusing on inventory and retiring obsolete applications. Its strength lies in data import and report generation, though more detailed reports are needed. LeanIX offers good ROI and outshines alternatives like Alfabet and Ardoq. |
| Enterprise Architect at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use LeanIX for access control and landscape maintenance, appreciating its reporting and presentation features. However, I find its integration capabilities lacking, particularly with business process automation systems, which limits its project management potential. |
| Enterprise Architect at Enterprise architecture Tool | 3.5 | I utilize LeanIX for application portfolio management and EA decisions, valuing its factsheets and data integration. Improvements needed include more fact sheets and export options. It has helped optimize 30% of applications, outperforming solutions like Avolution Abacus. |
