Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

My entire organization adopted Microsoft Visio as a part of our shift to using the new suite of Office 365 applications exclusively. Microsoft Viso has proven to be an excellent tool to create everything from basic diagrams, timelines and organizational charts to advanced cross-functional flow diagrams, Gantt charts and brainstorming diagrams that require detailed layouts.
  • I like the built-in capabilities which make it easier to connect diagrams to data sources and display data graphically.
  • I like the different templates and layouts you can leverage within Visio from basic to advanced.
  • Visio is very user-friendly, making it easy to use and collaborate with other users around shared diagrams etc.
  • While Visio is easy to use overall, it does have some quirks and can be a little limiting in what you can do within the tool itself and collaboration can sometimes be limited as a result.
  • I think Microsoft Visio has had a positive impact on my organization and has helped foster great collaboration within teams and organizations leading to improved business process agility and outcomes.
There are few good alternatives to Microsoft Visio that serve up the same functionality and allow for easy creation of flowcharts, diagrams and other graphical representations of process and data. Prior to Visio, we used a number of standalone tools which was clunky and did not meet our companies needs. Visio has proven to be much more successful and user-friendly and has been widely adopted as a result.
Visio is an excellent tool to use when creating diagrams, flowcharts, and layouts. We have associates that work at several locations across the globe so Visio serves an important function in being able to convey complex workflow graphically and allowing remote users to collaborate on the same document. Microsoft Visio is thus well-suited to allow teams or different groups of stakeholders to collaborate around shared workflows and processes.
