FAQ
Should Cloudeval replace draw.io?
Only if your main problem is stale or unsupported cloud architecture review.
Keep draw.io when the job is free-form manual diagramming, offline editing, or presentation polish.
Can I still use draw.io with Cloudeval?
Yes.
A practical workflow is to use Cloudeval for Azure review and exported diagrams, then use a manual editor when the final document needs custom layout or notation.
What is Cloudeval better at?
Cloudeval is better at connecting Azure diagrams to project context, reports, AI answers, CLI exports, and MCP-compatible agent workflows.
