Microsoft Visio is a diagramming solution with a robust library of templates and shapes, data connectivity capabilities, and integrated collaboration tools to empower remote workers and teams anywhere
Enterprise Business, Commercial Real Estate, Multifamily Residential, Commercial Offices, Healthcare & Gyms, Manufacturing, Distribution, Faith-based Orgs, Financial Institutions, Education & Schools
It is a great user friendly tool used to build diagrams. It provides a large variety of tools to allow a user to create diagrams in unique ways suited to their needs -- that's what I like most.
Adding connection line with different block sometimes creates problem for me which I dislike most.
Overall, I like the functionality and ease of use of the product and the feel like I receive a good value for the money.
Sometimes it can be frustrating when your diagram begins to get cluttered and the snap tool begins to snap to the wrong objects, making your diagram look weird.
Ease of use2 best for document understanding and conversion of charts3 best infrastructure modelling4 collaboration.
This could be a user error but when I would try and change it back, it would go back to the wrong location.
Super tool best used for diagramming and vector graphics application like:Creating Org charts is super easy and very user friendly. Preparing flowcharts for the presentations is very easily made.
Sometimes working with connectors can be a pain. They seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.
I like that we can deactivate badges down to the hour. It helps with emergencies and with making sure that anyone that shouldn't be allowed does not have access.
There is no way to do this quickly anymore, and now instead of taking me 30 seconds to create rules it takes literally ten minutes... why was this changed. It made the whole process much worse.
The best features are being able to remotely provide access to workers or servicemen I have coming to any of my buildings. I also like that I am able to see what's going on in real time.
The blame gets shifted on the staff when it does. If there was a way to manage the issues that cause outages I would wear a brivo shirt to work everyday.
It was very easy to add and remove employees. The app provided a great solution for the end of physical keycards.
The conversion to the new software is confusing for customers and us as an integrator to know who has merged and who hasn't.
Ease of use and ability to do an audit to see who comes in and out of the building.
I have to hound them to get any response. It is also very frustrating to see costs going up for fewer services.
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.
