Visio Reviews

Visio is used as a diagramming software for ITM.

Visio is a very easy tool in general, making it easy for anyone to understand.

Visio is a very good product.

The export and import functionality from Visio to other tools and the import and export functionality from other tools to Visio are areas with shortcomings. Widening the export and import functionality of Visio will be a great improvement.

I have been using Visio for twenty years. I am using the solution's latest version.

Visio is a very stable product.

It is used to buy a single user at a time because it is meant to be client-side software, so scalability does not apply to it.

For my company, we have around one hundred licenses.

I don't know what the license cost is, but we are not planning to extend the usage of the solution in our company.

I had previously used Sparx Enterprise Architect. Every company has its own standards, which is why you use what is meant for the company, provided by the company, which is not a big deal.

Visio's setup phase was very straightforward and easy. I bought a license to use Visio at my home.

An hour at the most was needed to deploy the solution.

One needs just to purchase the license and download it from the internet as a part of the deployment process.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The installation phase of Visio was carried out in-house.

I never calculated the ROI, but Visio provides me with far better than what I am paying.

My company does pay toward the licensing costs of Visio. It is a cheap product based on my experience, and since I purchased Visio for my own use.

To those planning to use it, I would say that it is the simplest tool.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution mainly for designing purposes. It helps us design activity charts, sequential charts, and other diagrams.

They should improve the solution's customer support service.

We have been using the solution for more than twenty years.

The solution is finely stable.

The solution's customer service team could be well-equipped with the required information.

We used PowerDesigner earlier.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward.

You have to purchase a license to use the solution.

I rate the solution as a six.

The company uses Visio for a maintenance project occasionally. I use Visio for infrastructure architecture and create data models on it.

The most valuable feature of Visio is diagram creation. If you have a presentation, you can create your data model using Visio. The tool has Microsoft components you can find in Microsoft Power BI, particularly the drag-and-drop functionality and link creation between the two components.

An area for improvement in Visio is pricing. It's a costly tool for my company because it only uses Visio occasionally.

I've only used Visio four or five times in the ten years it's been in my company.

Stability-wise, Visio is an eight out of ten.

I didn't see the option to scale Visio because it's one user at a time and installed on your local machine, so I'm not sure about its scalability.

The initial setup for Visio is easy because it's a Microsoft product.

Visio is a pricey tool. It's a five out of ten, cost-wise. It would be great if it had a pay-per-use licensing model because my company uses it sparingly. If Visio had a two-day use license, that would be helpful.

My company uses Visio, but not very frequently.

My rating for Visio is eight out of ten.

I use Visio to go to meetings on Zoom.

I use Visio all the time.

Visio is stable.

Visio is scalable.

Installing Visio is straightforward.

The price could be lower because it is too expensive in South America when paying in dollars or euros.

We use Visio for architecture modeling. We also use it to facilitate communication with other people.

The feature I like most about Visio is that it acts as a facilitator of communication, as it displays information that's easier to understand.

The only area for improvement we see in Visio is its integration. It could be improved, but in terms of features, we are really satisfied with the standard features of this solution.

An additional feature I'd like to see in Visio in the future is database integration. It would be good if it could be integrated with a database or data system to better manage the data, which would also help it communicate better with other applications.

I've been using Visio for seven years now.

We didn't experience any performance issues with Visio. It's a stable solution.

The setup and implementation of Visio went smoothly.

The popularity of a product is an indicator of its price. Because of the popularity of Visio, its price is on the higher side.

I don't have an intensive experience with Visio on architecture.

Within our organization, there are more than 20 users of this solution.

We are satisfied with Visio, but we are not intensive users of it. We have not been able to try out all of its features.

We didn't have a chance to contact technical support because we have not experienced any performance issues from this solution.

My advice to people who would like to try Visio is that it may not be the best solution in the market for architecture modeling, or for other modeling purposes, but it is effective in facilitating communication with others.

With one being the worst and ten being the best, I'm rating Visio a seven.

My primary use case of this solution is for process mapping and a little for organizational charts. We are customers of Visio.

The solution has a fairly intuitive interface. When it comes to process mapping, the best thing about it is that it's already configured for swim lanes and for drag and drop and easy manipulation of the objects and connection lines. It makes it a very easy-to-use solution. In comparison, if you're using PowerPoint, you have to manually size things and then adjust the font and it's very tedious trying to get everything connected. In contrast, Visio is very fluid, very interactive, and designed with features that reduce the manual work for basic flowcharts.

As a user, it would be helpful if Visio was in a native format recognized by Microsoft Word products, but that's not the case.

We have been using this product for 20 years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We're a global company although I'm not sure how many in the company use this product on a regular basis. 

The initial setup is straightforward and the solution is intuitive enough that you can begin using it immediately. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I'm using only this tool for our full architecture block diagram development. We're using it for our action projects, what are we are running.

It's a part of our process where architecture and detailed document development are needed. That's it. From the architecture and flow diagram preparation perspective, when it comes to detailing the documentation before implementing other components can be done in Visio.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good. We can reuse it as a model. It can be modified.

The tool is user-friendly. 

We are able to bring out what we want in terms of our architectural or detailed block diagrams.

The installation is easy.

I'm now used to the user interface. I like it. 

I can't speak to any missing features. It's been fine so far.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The product is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good.

We have found the solution to be scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

Most people in our organization use the solution. It is meant for all engineers and then architects. Managers also use it when it comes to representing some project flow processes from the point of view of management.

We haven't dealt with technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

The initial implementation is very easy. However, I cannot recall how long it took to actually deploy it.

Our IT team handled the implementation in-house. We did not need outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

It's just a supporting tool. I can't speak to any direct ROI.

While I know that we do have to pay a licensing fee, I can't speak to the exact details. I don't handle that aspect. I'm not sure if there are extra costs on top of the license itself.

We're a customer and an end-user.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

I'd recommend the solution. It's always a useful tool. Instead of using other drawing tools, I'd say that this one is likely the best option.  

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I use Visio for pretty much all of my landscape diagrams and for anything for management reporting, particularly on the technical side.

Visio has been something that I've been using for many, many years. It is ideal for putting out flowcharts and swim charts. It's really good. It has all the various options to use, particularly depending on what kind of audience you have. It provides you different kinds of options to insert the pictures and explain things. It really suited my requirements and I love it.

I have been able to get most of my things done using what's already been provided. It comes with a lot of functionality.

Another good thing I like about it is that it is already in the cloud. It's well integrated and I don't have any additional requirements at this point.

One thing that I always felt was missing was the ability to integrate with other Microsoft products, particularly with things like SharePoint or other Excel Office tools. It may be available, but it is not as good as it could be. There are some other tools that are very well integrated, but maybe they bought the product from a different company but it looks like the integration is not as seamless as other products that I work with.

I have been using Visio for many years.

I really have not encountered any issues. It is very simple to use. I never had formal training or anything of that kind. I just started using it and I learned it as I was using it.

In terms of scalability, Visio is single user, right? There's no challenge in terms of scalability.

It's open for everybody. It's a part of a package that we negotiated as a part of our licensing agreement with Microsoft. It's available to more or less all the users.

We have Microsoft support but I have never had a need to reach them. I think they're doing a pretty good job. There is a quarterly business review that we do for any issues that we have. That's not for Visio as such, but it is for all the enterprise products that we have from Microsoft.

I have never used anything else. I've always been using Visio.

We have multiple options available in the organization and Visio is one of them that I use. Of course, I use a lot of PowerPoint too, but Visio is among my favorite ones.

The initial setup is very simple.

I don't know pricing in particular for Visio, but since it is a deal that is negotiated, I'm assuming it's good. It's a part of the package that we have from Microsoft for all the tools that we procured from them.

My advice to anyone would be to try it out. Not many people are very familiar with it. A lot of people probably use PowerPoint. All the people who use PowerPoint should try it out, particularly if you are using a lot of detailed pictures. It's good for the techies, primarily for explaining things to the management. I think people who are into the techno-functional and mid-management level, who also have a technical background and are moving up to the management roles, it's a great tool for those people. It is pretty flexible. It provides a lot of options and it is very user friendly and it definitely provides a lot of value.

Particularly for enterprise architects and for people who are looking at drawings or putting together landscape diagrams and trying to document things at a high level, it is very good. Not necessarily at a very granular level, but at a high level, it's a great tool.

On a scale of one to ten, for me Visio is a 10. I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I couldn't do something with it.
