Product(s): LeanIX Enterprise Architecture
Overall Comment:"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."
- reporting, dashboarding and modelling are key to bringt the messages across in a way that everybody understands at ANY TIME (automatically updated) - extensibility of the model is a key to make it fit to our organizational needs - it has helped tremendously - surveys allow very easy information gathering, so we can focus on important things (the things that do not require tedious data gathering from stakeholders) - the vision after all the years, it's still a product that is evolving and pushing new and required features to be a modern, good EA - that is key to use them further down the road
- some content is not easily accessible (presentations from events, quarterly roadmap) - but it should be - would be interesting to know the possibilities of participate in beta-tests (know of beta-tested functions to be part in the test) - sometines you find bugs in lower-level reports, but they're usually fixed quite fast
