Where does Boldo fit in this comparison?
Boldo · Aperçu produit
If you are evaluating Bizzdesign Horizzon and BlueDolphin, Boldo is a third approach worth considering. The platform organizes architecture in a connected knowledge base made up 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 around 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 Horizzon?
Bizzdesign Horizzon is an enterprise architecture platform centered on publishing, analyzing, and collaborating around models. Bizzdesign was founded in 2000. Main Capital Partners has been an investor since 2022.
The documentation describes model packages, objects, relationships, viewpoints, and data blocks that users can enrich. ArchiMate holds an important place in the offering. Data blocks can, however, enrich content from different metamodels.
The Bizzdesign Open API makes it possible to integrate external data and automate certain operations. Since the unification of the Bizzdesign, MEGA, and Alfabet brands in 2025, the vendor states that it maintains a dedicated Horizzon roadmap for five to seven years.

What is BlueDolphin?
BlueDolphin is a SaaS enterprise transformation platform. In April 2026, ValueBlue adopted BlueDolphin as its company identity. The platform covers areas such as strategic planning, architecture management, and solution design.
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. Data center location also depends on the offering and must be confirmed in the contract.
