What do you like best about SAP LeanIX?

Geared to split up your EAM repository into manageable chunks to distribute amongst your IT application subject matter experts. They in turn can focus on the questions for which they are experts and can update your repository with their expertise, and they avoid being overwhelmed by questions tthat aren't relevant to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP LeanIX?

It is more geared towards a one-time transformation project that helps you identify the initial "low hanging fruit" to address in your IT landscape. Ongoing annual cycles can be more of a challenge because this product assigns responsibilities to individuals rather than organisational positions. Would be great if it could integrate better with your HR system so that changes flow through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP LeanIX solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining a current state model of the organisation's ICT landscape. It does a great job of distributing surveys to our hundreds of subject matter experts and then having their responses save directly into the central repository - it's like a wiki! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
