Where does Boldo fit in this comparison?
Boldo · Aperçu produit
If you are evaluating Bizzdesign Hopex and BlueDolphin, Boldo is a third approach worth considering. The platform organizes architecture in a connected knowledge base made of assets, properties and relationships.
Its metamodel is customizable and supports relationship properties as well as properties computed by formula. Teams can import CSV or XLSX data, use the REST API depending on your plan, then build views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards from the same inventory. Diagrams and process flows support real-time collaboration.
Depending on your plan, owners attest that their assets are up to date. People with the appropriate permissions approve contributors' suggestions, while Boldo tracks the completeness and freshness of the repository. The target is prepared in a scenario, a working copy of the real data that you compare and review before applying it, and impact analysis follows relationships to identify the assets affected by a change.
Boldo primarily offers integrations through its API. Recurring synchronizations must therefore be built according to the source systems. An MCP server also gives AI assistants read and suggestion access, with direct writes only if the organization allows them. This difference is worth factoring into the comparison depending on your data sources and your integration resources. See the getting started guide, the API documentation, the diagrams and the process flows.
What is Hopex?
Bizzdesign Hopex originates from MEGA International, a company founded in Paris in 1991. Bizzdesign announced the acquisition of MEGA in September 2024. Hopex is now part of the Bizzdesign portfolio, alongside Horizzon and Alfabet.
The offering covers enterprise architecture, process management, risk and compliance governance, as well as data governance. This coverage depends on the modules subscribed, which should be taken into account in a functional comparison.
Bizzdesign documents a Hopex SaaS offering on Microsoft Azure and an on-premise offering. For European SaaS customers, the SLA states that data is stored within the European Union, including an Azure region in France. The vendor also states that it maintains a dedicated Hopex roadmap for five to seven years from the brand unification in 2025.

What is BlueDolphin?
BlueDolphin is a SaaS enterprise transformation platform. In April 2026, ValueBlue adopted BlueDolphin as its corporate identity. The platform covers strategic planning, architecture management and solution design, among others.
The official documentation covers ArchiMate and BPMN. Questionnaires and surveys make it possible to gather information from people who do not necessarily work in the tool day to day. Since 2025, SmartViews can turn repository content into ArchiMate views that stay synchronized with the data.
BlueDolphin documents an open API, OData, webhooks, connectors and an MCP server. Their availability and limits depend on the subscribed offering. The data center location also depends on the offering and must be confirmed in the contract.
