Using Visio for Diagrams: Network Diagrams with Visio & Spreadsheets So, let’s dive into our other competitors…Viso and spreadsheets. Hey then - maybe one day you will want something a little better…and I will be here. I am telling you, someone who sells network documentation software, to use Visio and spreadsheets. And instead of going out to do research (who has time for that right?) at least use what you got already. So…what to do? Well….maybe the best approach, instead of not doing anything, is to at least get something documented.
You guys are too busy to keep up with documentation. Basically doing nothing is the big winner. Who is really our biggest competitor for our network diagramming software? The hands down winner? Inaction and apathy. Here at netTerrain, we recently had a staff meeting. Introduction: Network Diagrams with Visio & Spreadsheets Network engineers everywhere know, all too well, the pain of troubleshooting, fixing network outages and issues when you just don’t have up-to-date information about the network via network diagrams and documentation.
If you’re a network engineer trying to manage the network - without automated network diagramming software - let me tip my hat to you: you’re probably better qualified than I am to write the introduction to this blog.
