Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Business process and System flow documentation. Visio is used in both IT/business operations and across the organization.
  • It helps us understand how business processes are integrated across departments.
  • It helps IT understand how the system is designed to support the business process and also to understand the flow of events.
  • It is also being used as a tool in training users
  • Process flow documentation to explain the steps involved in getting a sale completed, or getting a customer service issue triaged.
  • Training materials to visually present the process and system flows
  • Status reporting, project management and technical architecture diagrams are done in Visio
  • Complex flows drawn using Visio are not legible on presentations and hard to follow
  • Some controls are hard to find although there is search capability available
  • Visio crashes often, especially the 365 version
  • Status reporting and project management is easier increasing operational efficiency within the department
  • Training support
Very well as it has much more broader features
Simple to medium complex diagrams are well suited in Visio. Complex diagrams with multiple hand offs would require a better solution.
