Gerencia de Área Plataforma Tecnológica Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My pleasant experience using Microsoft Visio" June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros One of the tools that I use with great frequency is the Microsoft Visio, it has helped me to capture or draw different aspects of the projects that I have the responsibility to lead or assign to my team. The tools incorporated within Microsoft Visio allow giving that professional touch that allows to group flow of information and descriptions at the same time and end user is easy to understand. Equally the different stencil that can be incorporated, facilitates and integrates the information, I have had the experience of searching for stencil of proprietary brands to be able to work with the hardware of my professional environment without any kind of problems. And when presenting or exporting it is very easy, the incorporated help is very useful when clarifying a doubt. Cons This wonderful tool to graphically capture ideas, projects, information flow and even design of structures, has its sales it is possible that it also has its point against, which is not much in micaso that could be for a person with little knowledge in really what If you want to capture, it could be a problem to know that there are thousands of stencils available that help create a more professional document. Another one of the few points against could be that the tools of left side are hidden and it can be difficult to stop the novice user to obtain them again. Of the rest I recommend 100% the use of Microsoft Visio Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Production Worker Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Visio's Reviews" May 1, 2023 5.0 Overall, very robust software and very worth it use. Very thankful to use it. Pros This is one of the product of Microsoft. It's has very complex and robust feature that's why it's very worth it to use because it's very reliable. It really does and exceed what it does and really make my job a lot more easier. It also has ready to use templates so that you won't be needing to start from scratch especially those who have just started and are having difficulty learning it. Cons It's just a bit difficult to learn at first so a few YouTube tutorials will definitely help.

Pros The most valuable part of this software to me is the ability to show current and future state of a software process. I build flowcharts and diagrams to document new software and to design new flows. Cons It's fairly expensive. Work pays for it but I don't have it for personal use. Review Source Martha N.

Student Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Visio - Mapeamento ideal de processos" October 31, 2022 5.0 A experiência geral é bastante positiva, o que me faz recomendar o Visio a pequena e grandes empresas para o respetivo mapeamento de processos de valor. O preço compensa a longo prazo, com a eliminação de atividades que não acrescentam valor aos processos. Pros O Visio apresenta diversas ferramentas úteis ao dia-a-dia das operações, revelando-se de fácil utilização e bastante intuitivo. Permite o mapeamento tanto de processos físicos como informação (eletrónica ou em formato papel). Cons O aspeto do Visio poderia ter um upgrade, bem como o layout de algumas ferramentas.

IM Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing drawing tool" November 21, 2022 5.0 It is one of the best beginner design apps for creating flowcharts, drawings, maps, etc. Pros The versatility and functions that it presents. The easy way to create a simple and complex graph. It is not necessary to have enough experience. The different categories of formats that it presents as a sample to create diagrams. Cons It is not compatible with macOS, it is necessary to run a third-party application. Review Source MB Manuel B. Infrastructure Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Viso makes our network planing easier" February 18, 2022 5.0 Visio is a great product that can be used and integrated very extensively. I do not want to miss it anymore. Pros Visio gives us the ability to easily create different network plans for our data center. We can use this to create templates that we can then use again. This significantly reduces the time required compared to manual drawing/documentation of the links. Cons Sometimes you have to think and research a bit to get certain functions. But once you get the hang of it, it's easier than before. Review Source MUA Muhammad Umair A. Quality Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Process flow diagram made easy with Visio " September 7, 2023 5.0 Deployment of Microsoft visio is quite easy for anybody who knows basic tools of oterh Microsoft Office suite. Is saves time by automatically connecting process flow equipments and events. Furthermore, drag and drop feature of diagrams in a huge canvas chart is highly appreciated. Pros Making a process flow diagram along with relevant parameters and labeling them is very convenient with the Microsoft visio. It has a wide and diverse range of built in engineering process diagrams for almost all types of departments like utilities and plants. Cons I wish, animation feature of data presentation could be integrated with the visio. Although the most of the work out put from the visio is 2 dimensional, however Microsoft should adapt the 3d export feature for better data visualisation Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) There was lack of built in process diagrams. Review Source BM Ben M. Applications Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty much a must have for flowcharts and network mapping" January 12, 2022 5.0 Overall I'd recommend Visio to anyone who needs to create a flow chart for a process in a clear and easy to follow way or who needs to map out a complex network so it can be visualised by a customer or manager. The first time you use it, you'll probably struggle to produce anything more complicated that a few connected boxes but with practice you'll be able to clearly document even the most convoluted process. Last year I used it to produce a flow chart for the complete process of our business improvement system and it was 12 feet long when printed out on the plotter. Pros Visio is easily integrated with all the other parts of MS Office, such as teams and OneDrive, and has the same look and feel familiar to users of other MS Office products Its' widely used across multiple companies and has been for years due to its dependability, easy to use format and adherence to standardised shapes/icons. By that I mean that if I use it to map out a network or produce a flowchart and send it to someone at another company, they're going to understand what each icon I use represents. Cons The only real downside to Visio (especially in older versions) is the connector tool for adding arrows/lines to your flow charts. The standard shapes come with pre-set connection points and if you're producing a flow for a particularly complicated process, the connection points never seem to be where you want them to be. I believe you can go in to more advance settings and add in your own custom connection points but this can be a slow and laborious process. Review Source Ty B. Facility Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Visio - Innovation at its best " January 27, 2022 5.0 Excellent! Pros I use Visio in my everyday job as a process improvement tool. Visio is user friendly and very easy to use. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the software to any of my colleagues. Try it! You will not be disappointed. Cons I would like to see Visio push out an update for 2022 and incorporate more process improvement tools such as DMAIC and lean tools. Review Source Rafael S.

Pros A facilidade que os usuários personalizem o diagramas e graficos de varias maneiras, como ajustar cores de preenchimento ou espessuras de linhas, adicionar titulos e setas. Alem disso, com topicos avançados como modelos de atividades/sequencia UML possiveis no Visio. Cons Uma coisa que menos gostei foi que o sistema inflexivel e pesado para vincular elementos.

December 22, 2022 4.0 I've been using this software for about two years for a variety of tasks to arrange my work before the commencement of a task or even throughout the progress of the project, and it gives me a very simple drag-and-drop layout. Pros This software stimulates my creativity, makes my job really straightforward, and makes it easy for me to do my responsibilities. I prefer it for my work over other similar apps I've ever encountered, and I wish that everyone could use it. Cons Has a few minor feature improvements that need to be made in order to be universally compatible. Switched from [Creately](https://www.capterra.com/p/127628/Creately/) Because it doesn't restrict my space and allows me to group all graphs related to a single topic, I prefer to switch to it.

Pros Being able to quickly drag/drop your flowchart boxes onto a model and connect them together makes it super easy to create a flowchart. Cons Probably the most annoying feature is drawing the lines between the boxes on the flowcharts. I am very OCD with how my flowcharts look and sometimes it is very hard to get those lines between boxes to line up perfectly without being not straight.

Quick diagram creation is made simple by the large selection of pre-built templates and shapes, and customization options allow for fine-tuning to meet specific requirements. The ability to share and collaborate on diagrams, together with its seamless interaction with other Microsoft applications, improves team productivity and cooperation. Pros Visio is an excellent program for creating technical drawings, architecture diagrams, intricate flowcharts, and more. It makes it simple to collaborate with coworkers to work simultaneously and integrates with Office 365. Professionals in a variety of industries, such as business, engineering, and information technology, may find it to be an excellent and adaptable tool. But, much as with any other Microsoft Office application, there are occasionally delays in updates while working with colleagues. With the many customization options offered by Visio, users may produce extremely intricate and well-designed diagrams. Excellent tool for data connection, allowing users to integrate other data sources, like Excel, to dynamic visualizations. Simple to use for drawing intricate diagrams. Cons Diagrams are frequently reworked as a result of the unreliability of online sharing and updating. It can be difficult to follow version control instructions from peers.
