What differentiates LeanIX Enterprise Architecture from other similar products?

The extensibility was key, but having used it over the years and benefited from the ongoing upgrades and enhancements is also great. Some extras are available which we haven't purchased as we don't need to yet. Cultural fit was also key.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to visualise relations is great and it does allow us to then build the relationships between the Business and IT.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Unclear cost of Extra options

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure you have senior leadership and business buy in

What differentiates LeanIX Enterprise Architecture from other similar products?

it's intuitive and enables the entire IT ecosystem - business users, architects, ops, etc. - to be involved in a distributed approach to capitalising on the state of IT within an organisation and also in strategic planning. the tool is simple and focused on value, just like today's business. I've personnaly experienced a time-saving ratio of between 3 and 5 on similar enterprise architecture exercises (initial application mapping to business capabilities, obsolescence management, ...).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Designing simple and intuitive user/contributors journeys to bring value to an organization and look at it works effortlessly

What do you dislike most about this product?

Process management (when Signavio is not integrated).

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try it by yourself. Do not try to copy paste what you did with your previous enterprise architecture solution (content / representaiton) but instead, try to bring at least the same value the LeanIX's way (reconsider the way you did it before). Ask for customer testimonials.
