Visio and Bizagi compete in the business process modeling and diagramming category. Bizagi appears to have the upper hand due to its robust feature set, justifying its higher pricing, whereas Visio benefits from its seamless integration with Microsoft products.
Features: Bizagi is notable for its BPMN 2.0 compliance, process modeling ease, and comprehensive automation capabilities. Visio is valued for its extensive integration with the Microsoft Office suite, a variety of templates, and a flexible shapes library that facilitates quick diagram creation.
Room for Improvement: Bizagi needs to enhance process conversion to SOP, improve XPDL file support, and expand third-party integration. Visio could improve pen input for Surface devices, offer more intuitive layer tools, and refine web publishing features for process mapping.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Visio deploys easily in Microsoft environments with noted stability and usability, though support consistency could improve. Bizagi offers flexible deployment across clouds, with responsive customer service and potential for further enhancement.
Pricing and ROI: Visio offers cost-effective solutions but can be pricey without Office 365. It provides good ROI when used for regular documentation needs. Bizagi's price increase is offset by substantial benefits, particularly for larger organizations, with its licensing structure facilitating cost efficiency over time.
The toolset is very intuitive, so we didn’t need to contact their support much.
We cannot expect major customer support.
While I like Microsoft products in general, the main issue is with the licensing options and the problems associated with them.
We generally resolve issues internally within our IT department rather than contacting Microsoft's technical support.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
For more mature environments, the integration to live systems is lacking, which affects its applicability.
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.
Visio should implement more complex tools or graphics to facilitate processing and use flexible templates.
The visual icons and shapes for different vendors like Cisco network could be improved.
It was less expensive than some of the other tools.
If asked to rate the price, I would give it around nine points out of ten, indicating it is somewhat expensive.
It is open source.
The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand.
Visio allows me to create detailed diagrams that provide value to customers by giving them a clear view of their network and devices.
Visio was quite useful in Word and PowerPoint, which I miss in draw.io.

Reviews from Real Users
“Visio has improved my workflow by making it easy to create charts, diagrams, and essential illustrations to use in my client reports and proposals. It has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend creating visuals for clients manually.” - Michael B., Principal Consultant at Lexington Consulting
“I use it for diagramming networks, racks, data centers, data flow applications, etc. It is a useful tool to map data flows, network objects, and computer science technology and to show to clients. It does what I need it to do. It's a tool I've used the longest, so I know it the best, and that's probably the claim to fame.” - Greg S., Director of Solution Architecture at Winslow Technology Group
“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 in a way that's easier to understand.” - Guy M., IT/Business Architect at a financial services firm
