Streamlines the process of identifying apps nearing end-of-life or requiring retirement and facilitates informed decisions about app retention

When we input our inventory and components, it tells us which ones are nearing end-of-life, deprecated, or obsolete. It also categorizes them. We've added flags, essentially tags, to mark certain things as non-strategic technologies. Using LeanIX, we made conscious decisions about which technologies are strategic and which aren't. This allows us to generate reports highlighting applications written in non-strategic technologies, giving us a better picture of our inventory size and what needs to migrate to the cloud or our target technology. So, it's about understanding what we have, seeing how it aligns with our strategic direction, and then driving the movement towards that direction.

Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive

We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material. I like the solution's traceability. The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications."

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

"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."

"LeanIX has good usability and stability. This SaaS is intuitive, easy to use, and comes with a nice reporting feature."

"I like the tool’s integration and maps."

"The solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments."

"I can develop a report and then do a presentation, or develop a report and some other diagrams and then put them all in one presentation, and from there, I can present things directly, so there is no need to move images."

"One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices."

More LeanIX pros

"I like the solution's traceability."

Cons

"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."

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

"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved."

"The solution’s API integration needs to improve. I would like to see a digital screen watch feature also in the solution."

"Improvements in user interface simplicity could be made, particularly with the reporting and filtering capabilities."

"The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data."

"The modeling could be improved."

"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."

More LeanIX cons

"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"The solution's pricing is based on a licensing model that is competitive and in line with other products."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
