Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio
I have many uses for Microsoft Visio. Firstly, I use Microsoft Visio to diagram my network. This makes it a very useful tool for network troubleshooting. I also use Microsoft Visio to diagram my complex audio system. In the past, I have used Microsoft Visio to flowchart processes in manufacturing and building Organizational charts. When I started using Microsoft Visio to diagram my networks, Microsoft had a great selection of downloadable network icons to match the equipment that I was using.
- Tremendous selection of graphics
- A very logical structure
- Options for diagramming just about anything an organization would need
- Matrices are little difficult to get started with
- Coauthoring with OneDrive didn't work as well as I had hoped
- If a user is helping, they must have a separate license to update
- Selection of graphics/icons
- A good selection of premade templates
- Saving to PDF for sharing and printing
- Diagramming networks saves a huge expense when troubleshooting your network
- Recording a process flow for an ISO9000 process is invaluable
- Organizational charts hasn't proved positive or negative for ROI
I looked ar LibreOffice Draw and Lucidchart. While LibreOffice Draw was free and Lucidchart was less expensive, neither had the Microsoft familiarity that Microsoft Visio has. I found myself spending a great deal more time trying to figure out how to perform the same functions that I already knew how to perform in Microsoft Visio.
