Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Our firm used Microsoft Visio to develop flowcharts, visualizations, organization charts and other visually stimulating materials. Specifically, the marketing department developed a lot of visual aids for proposals and other pieces of collateral via Microsoft Visio. We started with the provided templates to develop a lot of these materials in our own branding and color palette.
  • It is easy to learn and onboard new team members
  • The templates are fantastic especially when creating materials quickly
  • There are lots of pre-made icons to choose from
  • It is hard to collaborate and track changes between users
  • Connectors are very difficult to use and glitchy at times
  • Expensive to purchase and implement
  • Ability to use existing templates
  • Most be simple to use for new users
  • Needs to integrate with other Microsoft software
  • It has made it easier to create visual representations quickly
  • It has eliminated outside software needed to create certain graphics
  • It's made it easier to represent data in our selling process

It's great to use Microsoft Visio when trying to create visual representations of data or processes. It's very effective for creating org charts, flow through processes or other charts or graphs. It's a nice add-on to other Microsoft tools as its easy to add these diagrams into PowerPoint, Word, etc.
