Alfabet FastLane vs LeanIX comparison

"The solution has provided us with a view of the truth in terms of our application portfolio."

"My favorite feature of LeanIX is its ability to induct attribute-driven surveys."

"The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem."

"LeanIX has a great application information architecture."

"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."

"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."

"The ability to import data and generate reports from it. That's where its power lies."

"I like LeanIX's ease of use in general."

"For the reporting capabilities, LeanIX provides dashboards for different levels, including CXO dashboards. There are plenty of dashboards for reporting."

"The initial setup is challenging because it relies on information from different stakeholders."

"The initial setup has room for improvement."

"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."

"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."

"LeanIX has limited in-build diagramming capabilities, requiring the purchase of another tool. That is the main drawback of LeanIX because they don't have a built-in add-on product for diagramming."

"Does a poor job of being able to allocate detailed costings to components within the network."

"I find LeanIX's pricing expensive for the functionality it offers. However, with the acquisition by SAP, the pricing might become more affordable due to scale and tiered application pricing. Currently, it offers different tiers for the first 400 applications: 400 to 600 and 600 to 1,000, making it expensive from a pricing standpoint."

"They could include a combination of LeanIX and some modeling extensions."

"I am with a third-party so am not privy to costs."

"LeanIX uses application-based account licensing, where the cost is multiplied by the number of applications in the software implementation."

"I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"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 pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money."

"It cost me $91,000 a year for 300 applications. For any enterprise, 300 applications are minimal, as many have well over 1,000 applications."

"As the tool is cloud-based, its cost is more affordable."
