Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."The stability of the product is very good."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"The product's initial setup is really simple."
"Visio makes it easy to communicate your ideas from several areas of your imagination across several domains."
"The ability to visualize a workflow is certainly an advantage over just tracking a process in something like Excel."
"If you are a knowledgeable individual, the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"They provide continual enhancements which are always very useful."
"The scalability is good. We can reuse it as a model. It can be modified."
"The tools tab within Visio has been amazingly useful, and it is updated quite frequently. Along with how Visio handles components and everything else, I would call it an easy-to-use tool."
"Architecture modeling software with satisfactory standard features. It's also stable and effective in facilitating communication with others."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"It should natively enable importing diagrams or reference architectures from any of the vendors whose solutions are used by the customer or proposed by solution providers such as DXC"
"It can be complex. If you don't know a little bit about it, it can get really confusing."
"I would like to be able to present diagrams in multiple ways, such as a Swimlane diagram."
"Visio could be improved by adding more features. If you look at draw.io, they have more features. Also, if you want to design something for the cloud, Microsoft Azure still isn't enabled, so you need to install the plugin. This prototype is easily available, though."
"The auto-routing feature could be better."
"It would be nice if there is a database behind it. We have looked into this functionality, but all of the other solutions that have a database are very locked down, and you have to use them their way. You can't define your own stuff. For example, we have a system X, and I want to define system X myself and have it available. If I am ever going to make a change to system X, I want to pull up all the drawings that are associated with system X. I want to be able to search and pull all those drawings. Visio should have the ability to capture metrics associated with each step in the process. For example, based on a specific time, I should be able to link the data to a spreadsheet, which is kind of like the data analysis on the process."
"The price could be better."
"The big downside to Visio is that it's very difficult to push the design through to Power Automate, to become a workflow that you can use."
