Help Needed - Network Diagram App

Hi all,

I appreciate this is a common question (especially when searching Google), however I've never come across the perfect answer.

I'm looking for a Network Diagram application for the Mac, something similar to Microsoft Visio. Most of the feedback I have received points to OmniGraffle or CorelDRAW, but I find both of these applications a little heavy and expensive.

Instead I'm looking for a little "does one thing well" application, something that the Mac normally has plenty of options for (I'm thinking like Coda, etc).

Are there any great little Mac applications for network diagrams that anyone can recommend?

Cheers,

Matt.

 

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try out Dia and Diagammix to see if they fit what I am looking for.

Regarding running Visio in a VM, this is what I currently do. The experience is ok, but I would really like a native Mac option.

Any others?

 

Yep, I'm starting to think along the same lines. I just downloaded the 14 day trial and the app is starting to sell itself to me.

I still feel like there is a gap in the market for a "Mac like" network diagram application. Something elegant, simple and cost effective that can be sold to the masses on the App Store. Any developers want to give it a go?

Yep, it's what I have been using for the past few years, but once every so often I come back to look for a native Mac option. I'm confident that one day the perfect app wil appear
