Digital Transformation powered by an extensible, easy-to-work-with and collaborative workhorse of a tool for any size of organization

During a thorough selection process LeanIX emerged as our favorite candidate early in the process. LeanIX is an easy-to-use and quick-to-get system that allows ANY user (IT versed and non-versed) to get the information that they need, additionally, the reports and presentations enable quick communication to bring the messages across that management requires to be answered and that an EA practice is providing. Also, the extensibility has been a key factor, the ease of administration and freedom of attribute and workflow creation make it a platform where not only EAs are conserving their knowledge, but also collaborate with key functions like IT-security, data privacy and quality. So far the service has been quick and reliable and easy to access, always helpful even when tough questions needed to be answered. I also want to highlight the community-based approach and the CSM program, which helps newcomers a lot with their journey and let's you connect to other experienced customers to share knowledge on how to solve the problems at hand - in the end the problems and challenges are similar among enterprises.

    Excellent, enjoyable tool to use that was a game-changer for raising EA credibility

    Nov 13, 2025
    LeanIX has been a game changer. We purchased the tool about 2 months before a major merger was announced. We were able to load the new company's applications within a few hours, then using TIME and successor-mapping, we provided insights about potential gaps in coverage and helped migration teams with project scopes. The tool has arguably paid for itself in terms of time saved and ability to identify gaps in coverage. Truly excellent documentation and technical support, but it often takes time to get to the right level of expertise. Once that happens, the problems have been resolved instantly and well, and most have proven to be issues on our side. The support site is pretty horrendous though, with non-standard user registration and a confusing UX. We are impressed by the frequency of feature updates and communication about these, and the ability to suggest and vote on features.

    Support And Service Praised While Reporting Functionality Raises Concerns

    4.0
    Nov 5, 2025
    There has always been a good relationship with LeanIX, with regular meetings with a Customer Success Manager to help us to get the best from the tool without it being a hard sell on other modules or products to increase revenue. The release cycle is frequent, with new capabilities being released on a weekly basis - sometimes significant, sometimes minor UX tweaks. Support has always been excellent, with responses to support tickets often being within the hour, even with lower priority issues. The product itself is still maturing, with reporting capabilities in particular being limited. Whilst this is improving, we still find the need to export data to use another reporting solution to get much of the intelligence that we want from the data.

    We purchased a subscription to LeanIX after extensive research and trialling a number of competing EA tools in the market. We have been really pleased with our investment and encouraged by how fast the product is being developed, a key advantage being the cloud native architecture on which it is built. The onboarding and customer support has been excellent, helping ensure we make the most of the product's capabilities.
