EA-Wizard vs LeanIX
Modern SaaS for application portfolio management
Our take
Acquired by SAP in 2023, LeanIX is a leading SaaS EA repository — modern UI, broad integrations, strong on application portfolio management. A solid product for organizations that want a cloud-based EA without complexity.
Where they shine
- Modern, friendly UX for non-EA teams
- Wide catalog of native integrations
- Mature application portfolio management
Things to consider
- SaaS-only — no sovereign deployment option for highly regulated sectors
- TCO grows significantly past 500 applications
- AI added as add-ons (SAP layer) rather than native in every module
