Compare their scopes before choosing
Cartographit is a French information system mapping solution. It represents six layers: ecosystem, business, application, container, logical infrastructure and physical infrastructure. The vendor documents a dynamic mapping, automatic generation from the entered data, a search engine, reports, roles and a collaborative workspace.
Boldo offers an architecture repository built on a customizable metamodel and several forms of visualization. The choice depends notably on the need: operational IT mapping structured in six layers with Cartographit, or modeling of custom concepts and relationships in Boldo.
Cartographit offers a collaborative workspace where team leads take part in capturing the existing landscape. Its interface organizes the IT system into six layers, from business to physical infrastructure.
Boldo distinguishes readers from editors and allocates access by roles and domains. In both solutions, test the consultation and contribution journeys with non-specialist profiles before choosing.
Cartographit structures the IT system into six layers, from business to physical infrastructure. Boldo starts from a customizable metamodel to define asset types, their properties and their relationships.
Boldo lets you configure object types, their properties and their relationships. Compare this freedom with Cartographit's multi-layer model on your real extensions, then check their effect on maps, imports, permissions and reports.
Cartographit generates a dynamic mapping from centralized data. The platform also offers reports and the visualization of the IT system's weak spots.
Boldo lets you reuse the same data across views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards.
Compare Boldo with 10+ other enterprise architecture modeling and mapping solutions.
With Boldo, teams can consult the same assets and reuse their data across multiple visualizations. Readers explore the shared content, while editors contribute according to their roles and access domains.
Boldo hosts its data in France.
Every organization is different. Boldo offers a flexible and evolving metamodel that adapts to your context, your constraints and your maturity level. You don't have to fit into a rigid framework: the model evolves with your organization, not the other way around.
Boldo lets you present the same knowledge in several forms: views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards. Each format meets a different need, from detailed exploration to the presentation of indicators.
Starting at €39 excl. VAT per editor/month, public pricing detailed on the pricing page, Enterprise on quote. You can create an account directly from the app and try Boldo for free for 14 days.
Support should be defined according to your offer and your project: metamodel scoping, data import, governance and upskilling of contributors. Check the scope included before comparing the services associated with both platforms.
