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?

+23I 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.

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

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

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