LeanIX Primary Use Case
Primarily, our use case is app rationalization. First, get a clear inventory of what applications we have and how they're categorized.
Secondly, identifying obsolete ones for retirement or replacement. Those were the key reasons we bought it.

This is what we're using LeanIX for: clients come to us with a lot of apps they want to manage. There are too many apps out there, so they're not quite sure which app is doing what, so they come to us to rationalize these things, and they want to make sure that the landscape of the apps that they have are functional and actually fit their purpose. We utilize LeanIX for assessing the apps, and we come up with integrations. For example: how these applications are talking to each other, how data is exchanged, etc.
We then come up with a target application landscape: which apps we'd maintain and which apps we'd sunset. From the CXO level, they'd get the overall view, in particular, how the IT landscape is, and that will help them increase capability and make it more aligned with their business needs.

It offers neat visualization and referencing functionality while enabling the creation of landscape maps and showing the relationship between different applications. It allows logical mapping and basic architecture design, making it similar to other tools used for creating schemas. The tool is easy to adopt and has a low barrier to entry in terms of usability.

LeanIX is an enterprise architecture management tool. In general, enterprise architecture is a comprehensive practice and this tool can be used for many aspects of the practice.
Primarily, the tool manages Business Capabilities, Application, Technology and Data catalogues and linkages between them. The base package also includes the following catalogues that can be linked as well:
User Groups - as the name suggests, user groups definition with different attributes
Projects/Initiatives - very helpful for roadmapping exercises
Interfaces - useful for various integrations modelling
Technical Stack/Domains - for technologies/software/tools categorization
Providers - providers of the items in the IT Components list
In addition, there are add-on tools for the lifecycles of third-party tools - useful for technology/software currency management on the corporate level.
I am an enterprise architecture consultant.

Our primary use case is for architecture management. Signavio has a standard integration for BPM, but everything that is related to architecture is on the LeanIX side. It's application portfolio management, project portfolio management, engine components, and technology spec. It's for typical enterprise architecture.
