Jawad K.: Hi, my name is Jawad. I'm the owner of A&A's General Retail Store, and I give Visio a five star rating. I attempted to make organizational charts and office plans on my own by creating them on my own. With Visio, it already comes together. So I chose to use Visio instead of trying to develop my own charts. The reason why I chose Visio is because it came with my school. Microsoft 365, it's already paid for. It comes with the whole thing. You can make organizational charts, office plans, and it's already free with Microsoft 365. And that's one of the reasons, plus the quality of the software is why I chose Visio. Getting started with Visio is easy. Go to Microsoft 365, it has all the apps, such as PowerPoint, Visio, Office, and it was free. It's easy just to pull up online, and plus you can have an app with your Windows software. It took me a few minutes and it wasn't hard at all. I recommend that you choose Visio. If you have a school or a business account with Microsoft 365, it's already free. You can just download the app or use it online. It's a great organizational tool, and it'll help you save time.
