"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"This is a very straightforward product and I don't think that anything needs to be simplified."
"A good designation feature."
"It's a very meat and potatoes type of product and isn't overly designed. It's very easy to find your way through the solution, as it's not too complicated."
"The solution makes it very easy to make exciting pictures and designs. Everything is very intuitive and simple to figure out."
"Very interactive with an intuitive interface."
"Great at illustrating advanced topics which helps my team understand what I'm trying to get across."
"It is stable. I have never experienced any issues."
"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."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"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."
"I would like to see the project planning element improved, although it won't happen because Microsoft deliberately made it worse."
"The solution should be included in Microsoft Office 365. For some reason, it's not. It should be bundled in with everything else."
"Its integration with other vendors can be better and support for other formats. For example, when we import a JPEG, we cannot customize it. Similarly, we can't utilize the BPML kind of diagrams."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with external data sources."
"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."
"It is not flexible in terms of functions and modeling deliverables. When you speak of processes, the program has to describe the activities and the deliverables. You have to tell your robots how to deal with and input something, and you should have something more flexible from this point of view."
