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

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

"LeanIX has a great application information architecture."

"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."

"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."

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

"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."

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

"We've been able to develop some nice looking reports, and the dashboard's capability to map is very easy compared to Enterprise Architect."

More LeanIX pros

"I like the solution's traceability."

Cons

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

"They're probably positioned pretty well. I hope that they would not focus that much on the business architecture, and they would focus more on the overall cloud strategy and how we can leverage multi-cloud and transition back and forth from other cloud providers. With a lot of current vendors, you get locked in with one cloud, and then you try to migrate to someone else, and it becomes very problematic. What they need to do is to look at the overall data strategy, and they probably need to amplify their data strategy, especially around multi-cloud."

"What would make LeanIX better is more variety in terms of reporting, and more flexibility with its data importing feature."

"The initial setup has room for improvement."

"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 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 modeling could be improved."

"I think the tool's main issue might be direct integrations."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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