"For the reporting capabilities, LeanIX provides dashboards for different levels, including CXO dashboards. There are plenty of dashboards for reporting."
"The solution provides a single window view of business, application, data, and technology views of the IT ecosystem."
"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."
"The most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and the user experience. It's easy to map the fact sheets."
"Interfaces well with downstream systems of data."
"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."
"I like LeanIX's ease of use in general."
"I like the tool’s integration and maps."
"The initial setup is challenging because it relies on information from different stakeholders."
"The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved."
"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."
"Report generation could be more detailed. There are some shortcomings when creating reports. We can't create tag-based reports or go beyond basic technical reports."
"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."
"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."
"Does a poor job of being able to allocate detailed costings to components within the network."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
