Pros
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pros →

"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.""I like LeanIX's ease of use in general.""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.""One of the product's most valuable features is its ability to configure hardware devices.""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.""The most valuable features are the clean user interface and the fact sheet feature in Application Portfolio Management. The tool integrates well with ServiceNow, which is the usual CMDB platform.""The solution has a very useful assessment tool that automatically populates from input data to produce a detailed analysis of customer's environments."

Cons
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Cons →

"It's hard to predict the pricing of the system.""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.""The whole integration architecture view of interfaces/data exchange could be improved.""The solution needs to incorporate a data patch tool that moves within and irons data.""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.""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."
  • More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "As the tool is cloud-based, its cost is more affordable."
  • "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 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."
  • "I would rate the pricing a one out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "The pricing is very good. We definitely get good value for the money."
  • "LeanIX uses application-based account licensing, where the cost is multiplied by the number of applications in the software implementation."
