Hello y’all!

 

I’d like to know what software or tools you often use to project and draw your Veeam environments.

Do you use MS Visio, LucidChart or something else?

Hey @wolff.mateus ..yes, I use Visio. Sometimes I start with Word to get things down real quick, before I hit Visio.

Cheers!

I use draw.io pretty much exclusively now as work don’t license me for Visio anymore…

 

They have Veeam, VMware, Azure, GCP, AWS and Kubernetes shapes built in and it’s possible to import additional shapes from Visio.

I use Visio and have downloaded the stencils from here to use with it as they have been updated - Improved Veeam Visio Stencils - rhyshammond.com

I use Visio with the original Veeam stencils.

But I wanted to tryout draw.io for a long time now… :sunglasses:  No time up to now...

No problem.  Saw a post about them being updated so wanted to share as they are posted by Rhys.

Thanks for all answers!

 

I didn’t know that draw io could be used with oficial stencils of Veeam.

I import it right now and sounds working fine.

 

Thank you to all of you.

You are the best!

Yeah! Lucid Chart is so good. However you cannot import stencils on free account.

@wolff.mateus : right on Lucid Chart but i think Visio is the best one !

Always Visio, used by all the colleagues for our customers, we are next to a Veeam gold partner also a Microsoft gold partner ;-)

for quick pictures I prefer draw.io, is much less annoying than Visio.  :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
