Architecture diagrams should be easy to read and easy to maintain. This is exactly why I'm building https://isoflow.io

There’s definitely a market to take in this area since ms visio has basically fallen out of fashion. I’m using miro at the moment but it really falls short in terms of predefined shapes and pictos.

I'd be really interested to hear which icons you're missing. I'm actually just about to push an update that will add a few more icons to the library (i.e. queues, caches, DNS etc). Expect those over the next few hours. Will try to include any suggestions in the next release. Thanks for checking it out!

you can basically take inspirations (aka steal) from what ms visio offered. I haven't used it in a long time, but FWIR the picto & shape library was completely insane. Every single technical fields was there.

Wow this is so pretty.

If only it was not so difficult for our megacorp to give you money, process-wise.

To help spread some insights, could you go into a little detail about why?

I recall a friend of mine once saying his planned product would have a price-point that a typical mid-level exec could simply charge to their company credit card without being an eyelid. It looks like the isoflow prices are in that sort of range. I've always wondered if that model works (my friend went a different direction in the end).

Depends on the company. Processes vary, but for my former corporate employer, to give you an example, giving someone money in exchange for SaaS software needs 1) Vendor assessment 2) IT Risk Assessment 3) Privacy Assessment 4) Information Security Assessment 5) Proving ROI to budgeting people and getting their approval 6) Purchase order to a cost center.

Thanks for this, I suspected similar. Only yesterday I was thinking about the payment processes I've experienced in universities and councils in the UK. Every month would see a flurry of emails with invoices, purchase orders and cost centres flying around. Absolutely horrific.

Strong BeOS feeling to these icons! The product looks great!
