Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
"This is a very straightforward product and I don't think that anything needs to be simplified."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Visio makes it easier than with other tools to do such tasks as changing things or coming up with one's own visual style for presentation purposes."
"The fact that it's on-premises allows you to get fantastic speed. It's got a faster response rate, it doesn't lag, and it doesn't have any latency when you're working on it."
"The diagrams Visio creates are quite impressive in the sense that we can cooperate with more colleagues in one task and see the flow of the process."
"Putting details into the process flow and being able to link other objects into the diagrams are very helpful features."
"The usability in general is good. The integration of uploading custom stencils is also very nice."
"What I like best about Visio is that it's flexible. Sometimes, if I need to draw quickly, I use Microsoft PowerPoint, but if I need icons, which Visio has, I use Visio. I also like that the solution gives me a much more powerful range of options."
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."
"The price could be better."
"The auto-routing feature could be better."
"I can't speak to any missing features. It's been fine so far."
"The solution should be included in Microsoft Office 365. For some reason, it's not. It should be bundled in with everything else."
"I would like to be able to present diagrams in multiple ways, such as a Swimlane diagram."
"One issue I've noticed is that when working on a shared video link with a friend for Visio, there can be a delay in changes reflecting on their screen after I've made them. This also occurs when we're working on the same document. It would be beneficial if changes could be reflected in real-time. Additionally, I've experienced some text size issues with the flow task feature. Sometimes when I enter text, it appears very small, and increasing the size causes it to extend beyond the diagram, creating formatting issues. It would be helpful if these text and formatting issues could be addressed."
"Visio is not as scalable as other tools due to the proprietary restriction. You cannot customize it or scale it up like the way you do with Trello or Jira. Microsoft places restrictions on things that you can do with Visio."
"We need the place and route capability for the lines when we have a database. I use it for architectures, and between the boxes, there are lines or interfaces from one tool to another. I wish those lines could be easily drawn without having to place them mechanically. I wish that there was some kind of place and route capability, so I just press a button, and all the lines get drawn."
