Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Software AG and others in Business Process Design."It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"The product provides a lot of flexibility in writing graphs and customizing them."
"The most valuable aspect of Visio is enabling comprehensive coverage of architectural elements."
"The main reason I choose Visio is that it is easy to use. The user interface is familiar and straightforward. Additionally, it offers a variety of templates, such as those for Cisco solutions, which make it easy to create diagrams for specific use cases. For example, we use a Cisco Meraki switch and we can find the exact template for it, then we can easily drop in the components and connect the cables to create the diagram."
"It works really well for flowcharting, it can label."
"Visio has improved my workflow by making it easy to create charts, diagrams, and basic illustrations that I can use in my client reports and proposals. It has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend creating visuals for clients by hand."
"It has a lot of great features."
"Simple to use and very intuitive."
"The solution is easy to understand with some hands-on experience."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
"Layout configuration is sometimes a little difficult to use."
"I would like to see included in the next release is the implementation of web publishing."
"It needs hyperlinked or narratives for page flows to make demos more effective."
"Some of the improvements that have been made in Visio have not been beneficial, at least to me, personally. Too many things have been added to it, and it makes it kind of clunky sometimes. There is an overwhelming desire or competition to continue to improve it when the product is and has been pretty good, and some of what is done tends to clutter it. In some cases, the updates make it more difficult to use. It is already pretty feature-heavy and continuing to add stuff is not productive from my perspective."
"I would like to see Visio become some kind of enterprise architecture, which it is not."
"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."
"The one particular thing which I would like to see improved is in comparison to other products in the market, and is still lacking in Visio, is publishing on a web application. For example, there is a freeware application business process modeling tool, Bizagi."
"The only downside to Visio is the learning curve."
