Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

I used it to quickly make floor plans where we detail, facilities, furniture, lights, company assets, parking, etc. On the floor plans, we tend to manipulate a large extension of the gallery tools to find office equipment, decoration, and key parts of the floor plan like elevators, escalators, parking, doors and toilet facilities. During the quality management systems implementation as AS9100 and ISO 9001 we have to develop or recreate processes and procedures that take a good amount of time, thanks to Visio we are able to keep the files safe, and always available for further editing and improvement. Once we are done creating all these very complicated processes, it is a must to have a full company process mapping, MS Visio is very good for this task recreating graphically what otherwise will be a very lengthy text, this is a birds-eye view of the company's process and a whole including the full organizational chart. The competitor Lucidchart does not feature all the amazing tools Visio does, I like much better the customer interface of MS Visio and the compatibility with other MS software. Overall MS Visio is a very strong communication tool, that extends to frontiers that we didn't use yet but I know exist, like the electric circuit. Thanks for the opportunity to share this information, I hope is somehow useful. Saul Tarazona

Well, I have more than 25 years of experience with all MS products since MS Windows was launched; the user interphase has changed to improve and accommodate the new feature requirements as they come along. Overall, MS Office is coming to have a single experience but separating each one of all the specialties in their own target user. Regardless of how close other similar products come to compete with the MS Office marketplace, there is a broad level of certainty MS Office brings to the table that others can get close.
