netTerrain Logical review
A detailed network documentation tool for teams mapping physical and logical infrastructure.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Keeping network diagrams current is difficult when infrastructure spans physical links, cloud services, virtual machines, and applications. netTerrain Logical is browser-based software for documenting, visualizing, and managing that infrastructure. It is aimed at network engineers, IT teams, managed service providers, and organizations that need centralized infrastructure documentation. Automated discovery covers SNMP-enabled devices and network links, while physical and logical views, hierarchical diagrams, and inventory management help represent different parts of an environment.
Its strongest distinction is documentation depth across layers. Cable and circuit tracing extends across layers 0–7, and the product can visualize virtual machines and applications alongside network components. Scheduled discovery and polling intervals are intended to keep diagrams current. Capacity planning, dashboards, and custom reporting add operational context, while data sources include SNMP, CDP, LLDP, VLANs, WMI, IPMI, Modbus, SSH, Nmap, and cloud and management systems. This breadth suits teams that need more than a simple topology sketch; organizations looking only for basic network maps may find the scope unnecessary.
The published yearly subscription is available on-premises or in the cloud, with pricing based on devices and editor users. On-premises installations include unlimited read-only viewers. Integrations include SolarWinds, ServiceNow, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware/vCenter, Nmap, Nagios, PRTG, WhatsUp Gold, Observium, Zabbix, Broadcom, BMC Remedy, and IPAM; third-party connectors and API-based integrations support additional connections. The product supports cloud and self-hosted deployment, with web and Windows platforms. Teams managing mixed infrastructure and needing layered, connected documentation should consider it; teams seeking a narrowly focused mapping tool may prefer a simpler option.
