Where does Boldo fit in this comparison?
Boldo · Aperçu produit
If you are evaluating Bizzdesign Hopex and Bizzdesign Horizzon, 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. Teams can import CSV or XLSX data, use the REST API if their plan includes it, then build views, diagrams, charts, nested maps and dashboards from the same inventory. Diagrams and process flows support real-time collaboration.
Boldo mainly offers API-based integrations. Recurring synchronizations therefore have to be built according to the source systems. This difference is worth factoring into the comparison depending on your data sources and integration resources. See the getting started guide, the API documentation, the diagrams and the process flows.
What is Hopex?
Bizzdesign Hopex comes 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 subscribed modules, 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 indicates data storage within the European Union, including an Azure region in France.
