Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

We have been using Microsoft Visio for requirement use cases, workflow diagrams, application product specifications, and architecture diagrams. Visio is used across the organization as a recommended tool for creating diagrams. Ready-to-use shapes and templates are not only very helpful and save lots of time but also very easy to understand for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ready-to-use shapes
  • Easy-to-understand diagrams for both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Saves time with industry-standard shapes and templates
  • Microsoft Visio should be included in the suite of Microsoft Office products
  • Autorotation feature sometimes creates issues--it should be more flexible
  • Default shapes included can be more colorful, keeping business users in mind
  • Microsoft Visio is not very easy to use for non-technical business users
  • Easy connector for shapes
  • Quick and easy to present requirements in the form of diagrams
  • Quick and easy presentation of architecture
  • Microsoft Visio allows you to present the whole story in a single diagram
  • Professional presentation in less time
  • Fewer efforts in creating diagrams as compared to other competitors
We have evaluated Dia, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Good Drawings, but Microsoft Visio stands out in terms of flexibility, time, and efforts as well as impressive presentations. Microsoft Visio is very easy to use and produces standard and very complex diagrams in very little time compared to other competitors.

One of the best features that I like in Microsoft Visio is the ability to duplicate the page. This feature was introduced in a recent version of Microsoft Visio, which provides consistency across the pages. The new version also includes the feature to change shape on right click that is very helpful. Microsoft Visio is very well suited to create business flow diagrams, requirement diagrams, and architecture diagrams.

Microsoft Visio involves a learning curve. If you are a first-time user and non-technical person, Microsoft Visio would be a frustration for you for months.
