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.

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.

I'm a business management consultant.

The product has a good interface and tool configuration which comes with the Microsoft Office package. Another advantage is that you don't need to be an expert to use the tool. It's actually very easy and doesn't require a technical background so you can make any business process in a very easy way. Once you finish the layout business process, it can be sent to a client and visualized in a webpage without the need to download any other application. With other softwares, like ArchiMate, you need to download the application in order to view it. As a consultant when you finish the process, you need to send it in PDF format or something similar and your counterpart can view the file without any further configuration or further downloads.

For professional use layout configuration is sometimes a little difficult to use. I think that the applications could be improved, so that Microsoft Visio is linked in the modeling of applications and algorithms.

I rate this solution a seven out of 10.
