How to choose

How to choose a Ardoq alternative

  1. 1

    Check what drives the bill

    Ardoq prices by the number of applications in your workspace and includes unlimited users. Compare the application count and modules your team uses with your contract, plus any separately purchased professional services or optional additions. That shows whether the cost is tied to scope you actually need, rather than how many colleagues can access it.

  2. 2

    Keep control of your records

    Ask where your records sit and who controls them. The free base for the owned option uses a database you own. Ardoq supports report exports, but check what your current agreement and export cover before assuming every connection, attachment, permission or decision history will move with application records.

  3. 3

    Fit your own working rules

    A useful portfolio should reflect how your business reviews applications, records evidence and approves decisions. Check whether it can use your own fields and rules, including review dates and evidence checks. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, and changes to review rules can be recorded.

  4. 4

    Know what the switch involves

    A switch needs more than an application list. Ardoq supports report exports, and the free version can import application records once headings are mapped. Connections, permissions, attachments and decision histories need separate reconciliation. Agree these items, the business views and any required connections before ending your current contract.

The option that fits

Questions

Ardoq alternatives, answered

How does Ardoq set the price I should compare? expand_more

Ardoq quotes privately by application, with unlimited users. Its modules cover the application landscape, transformation planning, and governance, risk and compliance. Professional services are separate, and optional additions are listed. Compare the parts your team uses with your contract scope.

Can our Ardoq application records be brought across? expand_more

Ardoq supports report exports, and the free version can import application records after their headings are mapped. Connections, permissions, attachments and decision histories need separate reconciliation. Enterprise DNA handles the agreed mapping and migration in your version, so confirm what is included before switching.

Is there a free way to manage an application portfolio? expand_more

The free base covers the application register, ownership, costs, dependencies, decisions and evidence reviews, with no application limit. Hosting, support and agent use have separate costs. Enterprise DNA's custom version has one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.

What do evidence checks tell me about compliance? expand_more

They identify missing or overdue security and retention reviews, including checks for retired applications. They do not inspect the underlying system or certify compliance. A responsible person still needs to assess the actual safeguards and legal duties, using the evidence references supplied.
