### "making network based diagram is very easy"

September 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

You can save the networking plan in very sophisticated way and in easy to understand way. It provides you vm-ware connections as well. You can add comments to the diagram so that you can understand it clearly. If your diagram is getting bigger, it will manage it automatically by extending it to next page.

Cons

more icons should be provided and sometimes, we do not see the exactly same diagram that we made before saving.

### "The best product for flow charting"

September 21, 2019

5.0

Flow charting and org charts are quick, easy, and professional.

Pros

Love the simplicity that Visio provides when creating flow charts and org charts. Nothing comes close.

Cons

The only downside (and really a struggle to pick one) would be the initial cost. The software itself is great.

July 20, 2019

4.0

Pros

It's very smooth and easy to use. I really like how many features it has and how quickly you can access them.

### "The program can not work"

July 31, 2019

4.0

Pros

I find it difficult to talk about what I liked about this program, since I worked with it only for a couple of days. Perhaps the benefits of Microsoft Visio include an interesting interface. The program has a lot of tools, but they are all succinctly laid out in panels.

Cons

Microsoft Visio is a seemingly good editor for building visual statistics. However, it is impossible to use it. The program crashes constantly, from whatever computer I tried to run it.

### "Easy to learn and use"

June 11, 2021

5.0

Very happy. It is my default tool for creating process flow and other visual diagrams that need more details. PowerPoint is OK for simpler illustrations, but if you need something more detailed and tool-like, I find Visio is the place to go.

Pros

The ease of use. There are more templates and widgets available than I have ever needed. Easy to save as a PDF and share with others who don't have a Visio license.

Cons

The swim lanes can be a little difficult to manage, and also share-ability is limited unless the other person also has a full license for Visio

### "Wonderful product"

August 22, 2019

5.0

This software has been super helpful to draw the DFD s, erd s, and other flowcharts. Easy to communicate the ideas to my team.

Pros

Yet another great product by Microsoft. It was very helpful for me convey my thoughts using a flowchart or diagram. It was easy to learn and use it within no time.

Cons

For a new user and for someone who is new to visual aid tools, it might take a while to figure out the features and how to use it. But it's easy to catch up and be comfortable with the software

### "drawing charts"

March 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like that you can import pictures and make them part of your chart. Organization charts look better when made in Visio

Cons

It doesn't seem to be too user friendly. Drawing lines and/or arrows should be a simple tool, but it's not easy to find. Snapping to a grid point should make things easier, but that doesn't seem to work well either.

### "Fully featured yet easy to use. "

June 20, 2021

5.0

I’ve used Visio for rough floorplans, cabling diagrams, network maps, and other various projects. It always provides what I need in a familiar, Microsoft Office format.

Pros

Visio provides a very easy to use software that still has a ton of features for mapping, managing space, data visualization and more.

Cons

It can take some time to search through all of the available tools to find the exact shapes or diagrams you need.

### "Draw flowcharts"

April 30, 2020

4.0

It is a solid program for creating systems and the result is professional looking diagrams.

Pros

It has several models and formats for creating your flowcharts, it also has compatibility with cloud storage.

Cons

There could be more extension options for exporting files, and there are no options for accessing and editing in groups.

July 10, 2018

4.0

I can make any diagram in a quick and easy way

Pros

It has many templates that make the job easy. Once you become familiar with the software works such as flowcharts, diagrams, even floor plans can be done

Cons

The breeding curve is a bit big, however with the documentation and a simple investigation of its operation you can start working without any problem

### "Create your network and infrastructure diagrams and designs with Visio!"

September 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

You can create almost any design, from network to a whole IT Infrastructure, with every detail. You can publish the whole work to html and host them to the intranet, so other users can see the visuals of the existing network and infrastructure.

Cons

It is not that easy to create something. You need practice and experience, since there are many options in the application itself.

### "Deep, powerful software. Not for the faint of heart."

January 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

Visio is powerful software for making very complex charts and graphics. If can imagine it (or even if it's so complex you have a hard time visualizing it in your head), Visio can do it, and make it easy to understand.

Cons

There's a pretty steep learning curve to the more in-depth features of Visio. You can get dropped in and get going right away, but you might need to look up documentation for specialized features.

### "A good way to express your ideas "

December 20, 2020

5.0

Pros

Visio offers an abundance of cosmetic perks and you can set up your diagram to both provide information and to be pleasant to look at . It is also fairly flexible as to how it implements the metrics you enter and can be customized .

Cons

It's not the most intuitive program and there was definitely a learning curve for me at the beginning .

### "Good assistant in the visualization of information"

January 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

I've been using Microsoft Visio for almost 10 years now. Of course, during this time I got acquainted with other programs that allow you to visualize information and submit it in a beautiful way, but working in Visio is the easiest.

Cons

Like the most Microsoft products, Visio costs a lot of money, so it's just not for fun to buy software.

### "Gets the job done - familiar but expensive and cumbersome"

August 25, 2020

4.0

Made use of this tool in school and through the first half of my career - love a good org chart or mind map and being able to create interesting images. Advanced integrations with this program and our application allowed for some SVG editing but updates in 2016 broke that antiquated integration.

Pros

Works predictably like Microsoft products. Lots of options and tools.

Cons

Complicated and didn't provide tools that sparked ideas but instead had to fit my ideas into their framework. Lots of clicks. Cost was prohibitive for my company - not many could get it.

### "Easy to use"

October 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

I primarily use the software to create the initial design of a new space while sitting side by side with the team that will eventually occupy the finished space. It is very easy to move walls and furniture to create and give them a feel for what the end product will look like, and at the same time create a drawing that is to scale for a contractor to build out the space and bypass the need for an architect.

Cons

It can be difficult to get walls to connect in the correct place at times.

### "I have used Visio for my university assignments and for my business systems documentation"

August 1, 2018

5.0

I was easily able to complete my university assignment and using Visio gave it a very professional look.

Pros

I like how easy it is to find the icons needed and to easily move them around the page so they are in the correct position.

Cons

Some of the icons that we required for our uni assignments were missing. All the major types of system designs should be included.
