Visio Reviews

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.

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 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.

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 do not use the latest version. 

I am a network engineer and we use the solution for drawing network diagrams. 

I like the solution's ease of use and its the integration with different templates from a variety of manufacturers.

The solution should have better integration capabilities with MacOS and Linux.

We have been using Visio since 2010.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

We have never contacted technical support concerning Microsoft Visio. 

The solution is easy to install. It took, perhaps, 15 minutes. 

One can do installation on his own. 

Just a single manager is responsible for the deployment. 

There is a licensing fee, but it is fairly priced. It is on a monthly basis. 

We did not evaluate other options before going with the solution. 

There are five people, network engineers, who use the solution in my organization. 

I would recommend it to others. 

I rate Visio as a ten out of ten. 

What I like most about the solution is that It's quite easy to use. In our case we do not consider it in this exercise since we wish the components to be logical and not just to have the drawings in one diagram or another.

It is difficult for me to point to which areas of the solution need improvement as most of my people are using it and I have had little hands-on experience with it in the past few years. 

An issue I wish to see addressed is the ability to go beyond just drawings for separate systems to that of having logical architecture described on the price level. Certain disadvantages in the solution make this difficult. 

I would like to see Visio become some kind of enterprise architecture, which it is not. Instead, it serves as a BPM and UML tool at which, so I understand, it is quite good.

The solution addresses a different kind of removal system.

I have personally been using Visio for several years, although not professionally. I use it exclusively in an intuitive fashion and for drawing diagrams. 

The solution is stable. 

Of course the solution is scalable. This depends on how a person designs his infrastructure and if he makes use of his work solutions.

I have not had experience with technical support. 

While I don't recall the exact price I do recall that it was quite high.

My recommendation to others is that the solution should offer different tools. In line with the person's particular requirements he would need to make a choice. The pricing should be lower. What I do like about Visio is that it's quite intuitive in respect of the UI. In this regard it is similar to other Microsoft products. But, sometimes people need just the road to Tango, rendering the use of Visio unnecessary. It depends on the goal of what the person wishes to achieve. 

Taking into account that Visio is good enough and quite easy to use, but carries a higher than desired price, I would rate it as a nine out of ten. 

We use Visio for describing processes, port authorities, requests, exchange of documents, and authorizations. The main use is for business processes and descriptions.

It is easy to use.

The user interface could be simplified and easier to use.

I have been using Visio for a couple of years.

It's a stable solution.

This is an area that we did not explore as it was not necessary for us to scale. It was not a requirement.

We had 10 customers using this solution.

We don't have plans to increase our usage. I am with a different company.

Technical support was fine. I did not have any issues with the technical support.

Before Visio, we used Bizagi.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install.

We implemented this solution ourselves. We did not use an integrator.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Visio an eight out of ten.
