If you are evaluating SAP LeanIX and Bizzdesign Hopex, 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 integrations. Recurring syncs therefore have to be built depending on the source systems. 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.
SAP LeanIX is a SaaS enterprise architecture management platform. SAP completed its acquisition in November 2023. The current documentation organizes the repository around Fact Sheets and their relationships.
Its metamodel is presented as prescriptive in order to encourage standardized practices, while remaining configurable. LeanIX also offers surveys to gather information from stakeholders, along with reports and diagrams. An ArchiMate 3.2 visual style is documented for the diagrams. This diagram style should be distinguished from a full implementation of the ArchiMate metamodel.
Integration is covered by REST and GraphQL APIs as well as ready-to-use integrations documented by SAP. Prices, implementation timelines and trial conditions are not public in a stable enough way to be compared here without a quote.

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 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 indicates data storage in the European Union, including an Azure region in France. The vendor also states that it maintains a roadmap specific to Hopex for five to seven years from the brand unification in 2025.
