# Cablefolio vs Hudu

> Hudu is an IT documentation platform that MSPs use for assets, passwords, and knowledge; Cablefolio documents the physical layer in depth — floor plans with devices placed on them, racks drawn to scale, both sides of every patch panel, and cable runs with their test results — and works fully offline on a phone.

## Where Hudu fits

Hudu is a broad IT documentation platform: assets, passwords, knowledge articles, and processes for every client, with integrations into the PSA and RMM tools MSPs run. If that breadth is what you need, it is built for it.

## Where Cablefolio fits

Cablefolio is built for the network as it is installed: floor plans with every outlet, camera, and device placed in its room; racks drawn to scale; each patch panel port with its A side and B side; and every cable run with its ID, pathway, and tester readings. A technician records it on a phone with one bar of signal, or none, and the customer gets the handover and a portal.

## Switching, or running both

Import Hudu assets as devices to start each client — passwords, articles, and contacts are not imported yet — or keep Hudu for knowledge and use Cablefolio for the network and cabling. See [switching to Cablefolio](https://cablefolio.com/help/switching/).

## Questions and answers

### Is Cablefolio a Hudu alternative?

For network and cabling documentation, yes: floor plans with placed devices, racks, both sides of patch panels, cable runs with test results, and full offline editing, with the client portal included. Teams that need Hudu’s breadth for knowledge and processes can use the two together.

### Can I import from Hudu?

Yes, for devices: Cablefolio imports Hudu asset exports as devices, mapping and previewing the rows before anything is written. Passwords, articles, and contacts are not imported yet.
