QuikFlow vs Network Design Studio

Create flowcharts (and mind maps) without worrying about layout in QuikFlow. With our innovative interactive layout algorithms, you can work as if you were using a mind mapping application while creating flowcharts. Define your structure and the app handles the layout! CREATE FLOWS, NOT JUST MIND MAPS Creating flows is just like creating mind maps. But without the restrictions. Let flows converge or loop back around. All while retaining the same intuitive workflow. FOCUS ON YOUR CONTENT, NOT ON THE LAYOUT Define your flow and the relationships between different elements. The layout happens automatically while you are working. To adjust the layout, you can reorganize elements using drag-and-drop. MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE DETAILS No matter what you change, the layout will automatically adapt. Paste a whole subflow into the middle of the flow. Delete any part of the flow, no matter how intertwined. You won’t have to spend most of your time fixing the layout. EXPAND YOUR FLOW A node is simple. But every node can expand into a full rich-text document with headlines, lists, images, links, dividers and more. On canvas or in off-canvas notes. There can even be interactive tasks and checklists, allowing you to do flow-based task management. FIND YOUR STYLE Style each node and connector. Quickly reuse styles across your graph using the automatically generated library. Find the right look for new files using our premade templates or your own custom templates. SHARE AND EXPORT WITHOUT SURPRISES Easily share your creations in popular file formats (PDF and PNG). In high quality and without fuss. It is that simple. INPUT BEYOND THE TOUCH We think we built the qui(c)kest way to create a flow using touch. But QuikFlow started on desktop. And we brought all the mouse and keyboard support over to iPad. USE FOR FREE. UPGRADE IF YOU WANT TO QuikFlow gives you access to many features, including all of our innovative layout features, for free without any strings attached. You can upgrade to QuikFlow Pro to access expanded node content, styling, templates, and additional export features. Try QuikFlow Pro with a free 7-day trial. Buy it either as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time purchase. Files created using QuikFlow Pro can be opened and edited in the free version.

Network Design Studio turns hours of switch-by-switch spreadsheeting and Visio drag-drop into a guided workflow that covers every domain of an enterprise network. Pick a module — Campus, WAN, Data Center, Security, Wireless, or Cloud — answer a short wizard, and the app produces a complete design package you can hand to procurement and to the engineer deploying it. SIX MODULES - Campus LAN — single-site wired/wireless. Single switch, small branch, medium office with HA, or large 3-tier campus. HQ, branch, retail, healthcare, education, warehouse site kinds. - WAN / SD-WAN — multi-site designs. Hub-and-spoke, dual-hub, full-mesh, or hybrid. Classic routing or controller-managed SD-WAN over MPLS, broadband, fiber, LTE, 5G, or Starlink. - Data Center — spine-leaf fabrics with VXLAN/EVPN. Multi-tenant VRFs. Rack elevation diagrams. - Security — zone segmentation and policy. Perimeter, zero-trust, or defense-in-depth. Compliance patterns for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, CMMC, GDPR. - Wireless — AP planning by density profile. Wi-Fi 6 / 6E / 7. Multi-SSID with 802.1X / PSK / captive portal. - Cloud / Hybrid — on-prem-to-cloud connectivity for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, IBM. Direct VPN, transit gateway, full mesh, or hybrid SD-WAN. EVERY MODULE PRODUCES - Logical topology diagram, color-coded links, pinch-to-zoom. - Bill of Materials with real part numbers and list pricing. Export as CSV. - IP / VLAN plan sized for your user count. - Device configurations in the chosen vendor's CLI — Cisco IOS-XE / NX-OS, Aruba AOS-CX, Juniper Junos, Fortinet, Palo Alto. Paste-ready. - Validation report with severity-tagged findings and remediation. - Design rationale — a "Why" explanation for every engine decision. - Multi-page PDF design document. MODULE-SPECIFIC EXPORTS - Cable Schedule CSV (Campus / DC / WAN) — port hints, fiber type, carrier hand-off specs. - SD-WAN controller policy templates — vManage, EdgeConnect Orchestrator, Mist, FortiManager, Prisma SD-WAN. - Infrastructure-as-Code starters (Cloud) — Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi TypeScript, AWS CDK. OPTIONAL AI (Bring Your Own Key) - Wizard help, Explain, and Critique — all opt-in, all cached in the project file. - 13 supported providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek, xAI, Groq, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Perplexity, OpenRouter, plus a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint adapter (Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Ollama, LM Studio). The design generator is deterministic — same inputs always produce the same design. AI commentates; the engine still owns every BOM line, every config, every link. CUSTOMIZATION - Custom Device Catalog — add your own switches, routers, APs. Custom entries can override bundled devices to reflect your real distributor pricing. IN-APP REFERENCE - Knowledgebase — networking fundamentals, architectures, technologies, vendors, glossary. Fully offline. - How To Use Network Design Studio — every wizard step diagrammed, every option explained. UNIVERSAL APP One purchase. iPhone, iPad, and Mac — all from the same App Store listing, synced to your Apple ID. All the modules of this app is now offered for a one-time flat fee. PRIVACY Your designs live in your project files, on your device. We do not track you and we do not collect data. If you enable AI features, requests run through your own API key with your chosen provider — we never see or proxy them. NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR JUDGMENT Network Design Studio is a design aid. Every generated diagram, BOM, and config should be reviewed by a qualified engineer before deployment. Designed for working network engineers and architects.
