Visio Reviews

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.

I am using Visio for migration and application development. Additionally, we did a Microsoft Azure landing zone for companies to implement CICD pipelines. 

We typically do hybrid deployments because of the data security issues that can arise. However, there is a lot of opportunity coming for native cloud deployments.

The most valuable feature of Visio is the credential management, endpoint manager, and active directory for Microsoft Azure for our hybrid infrastructure. Additionally, there are plenty of features available.

Visio could improve by simplifying the application to allow the business user more understanding. This will allow us to bring the solution deeper into the organization for use. It can be difficult to navigate and some users tend to rely on third-party applications for auditing, compliance, and policy configuration.

I have used Visio for approximately four years.

I rate the stability of Visio an eight out of ten.

We have approximately 10 people using this solution in solution.

I rate the scalability of Visio a nine out of ten.

The support from Microsft has been great. I receive direct calls from support to resolve our issues. They have been responsive and helpful.

I do not have experience with other solutions in the same category.

The initial setup is easy. I have been doing it for many years.

I rate the price of Visio a six out of ten.

My advice is this solution is scalable and easy to deploy. It is an asset for an organization, which is looking for an immediate infrastructure to be built on a project.

I rate Visio a nine out of ten.

I'm into designing, so I'm using Visio for creating diagrams. Mostly it's for network, architecture, or data flow diagrams, depending on what the customers need.

What I like best about Visio is that it's flexible.

Sometimes, if I need to draw quickly, I use Microsoft PowerPoint, but if I need icons, which Visio has, I use Visio.

I also like that the solution gives me a much more powerful range of options.

The improvement I want to see in Visio is being able to edit it more quickly, particularly when pulling it out of another software and then editing it on that non-Visio software. Currently, the process affects the overall performance because it's not as quick as I want it to be.

If I were to add a new feature in Visio, and if I went wild, it's the feature of creating new diagrams from Visio, even if I'm on another document. If Visio is running in the background while I have another document open, it would be interesting to be able to draw diagrams on that document.

I've been using Visio for a few years now.

I didn't contact the Visio technical support team, and from what I know, the IT team didn't have to contact support either. Once, there was a bug, and the IT team couldn't do the installation until the next day, but even then, there was no need to contact the Visio support team. As a product, it's intuitive.

Setting up Visio is easy because you just need to check the block, click, and then it'll be set up, but that's because my company uses Microsoft 365. Setup-wise, I'm rating it as eight out of ten.

I'm not involved in the licensing of Visio for my company. However, for Visio licenses for my customers, I am.

Around fifty people use Visio within my company.

People in the company use Visio whenever necessary, but I use it more frequently. I talk to customers a lot, and I'm part of the sales process, which means I need to create diagrams, so I use Visio a few times a week. My usage is usually greater than other developers in my company.

I don't have any particular advice for people who want to use the solution, but Visio is a user-friendly product and easy to use.

My rating for Visio is eight out of ten because it's a good product.

My company is a Microsoft user.

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.

My primary use case of Visio is diagramming. It's useful for diagramming any type of process you would want to describe. 

The valuable feature about Visio is it has all the basic tools for creating processes. 

Visio's scalability could be improved. I had a license through my school and it would have been great to be able to collaborate with more people. 

As for additional features, all these tools differ and Visio has the basics. I don't think it needs to be something more because it's Visio, it's a Microsoft product. 

I have been using Visio for two years. 

The stability is okay. 

The scalability could be improved. When I was in school, it wasn't possible to collaborate with others. 

I have never contacted Microsoft's technical support. 

The installation was straightforward and I had no problems. It's the same installation process as other Microsoft software: you pay for it, a few clicks, and you're there. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

Visio is the cheapest solution because it has the basics. Everyone starts with Visio for designing processes because doing it in PowerPoint is a mess. I'm still a student, so I don't pay for licensing. 

I rate Visio a five out of ten. When I need to do something simple, Visio is okay. I would recommend this solution to others. 

My primary use case for Visio is network diagrams to document our local and wide area networks. We also use it from time to time to document business processes and logical systematic processes. 

Visio has helped streamline our documentation.

The most valuable feature of this product is its versatility.

An area for improvement would be the product's footprint - it's a very large install that uses many gigabytes. There are also sometimes bugs when working with documents on a network drive.

I've been using Visio for about twenty years.

Visio is very stable, and very few staff are needed for maintenance.

I don't think scalability is particularly relevant to this product as I use it.

Microsoft's basic support is very difficult to work with. However, we have recently invested in the premier support package, which is a lot more money but is actually very good.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward.

I used an in-house team for implementation.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.

My primary use case is for designing the architecture diagram and the network diagram. 

The most valuable feature is how easy it is to use. 

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. 

I have been using this solution for almost ten years. 

The stability is quite good. There is not much maintenance really required. If it's on your desktop and something goes wrong, it is usually available to repair again. You don't need anyone else to maintain it. 

I previously used the Sparx System Enterprise Architect, but my experience with it was limited. It was discontinued because they stopped the licensing. 

The installation was straightforward. It takes about five to ten minutes and you can do it yourself. 

I implemented myself. 

I pay for the license and it is very expensive. If you're only going to use this tool from time to time, you can save money by just using the available online tools. But if you plan on using it heavily, then it's worth it to invest. 

I would rate this product an eight out of ten. I recommend this product to others because it's a useful tool for designers and architects. 

Visio is easy to use.

The solution could improve by having more integration.

I have been using Visio for approximately one year.

Visio is stable.

I have found Visio to be scalable.

The support for Visio is very good. Microsoft always fixes bugs or problems quickly.

The installation is easy.

The solution could be less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Visio a ten out of ten.

We use Visio in my organization to create architecture diagrams.

Visio has allowed us to create good diagrams for our technical employees to consume. The solution provides templates, is straightforward, and has tools for the easy creation of diagrams.

The solution could improve by making it more modern.

I have used Visio for approximately 15 years.

Every group in my organization can use Visio and approximately 150 people use it. It is a tool that design engineers and architects teams use most. We have approximately 150 people that use it.

I have not needed technical support.

The installation is not complex.

The price of Visio is reasonable.

I rate Visio a seven out of ten.

Visio is mainly used for documentation purposes. For example, drawing flow charts or network diagrams. It can also be used for defining schemas or application development.

In my organization, people from multiple departments use it, especially the IT team. They prepare documentation on the network architecture. Additionally, the data team uses it to create flow charts, sequence diagrams, and schemas.

The solution is easy to understand with some hands-on experience.

Microsoft should include Visio as part of their Office 365 offering.

I have used Visio for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable and flexible.

We have approximately 15 people using the solution.

Microsoft technical support is convenient. They have an online community for Visio and if we have created a ticket with the support they always respond promptly. We have not had any problems with the support.

The installation is easy, it only takes approximately five minutes. You only need to go to the vendor website and download an executable file and then it is straightforward.

We did the implementation ourselves. The solution does not require a technical team for implementation.

You can purchase a corporate license for more users to use the solution. We have purchased a stand-alone license and which could be cheaper.

I rate Visio a nine out of ten.
