Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are documenting our MarTech stack and all associated interactions, integrations, and workflows.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Great drag and drop functionality.
All the templates that perfectly support our use based.
Great sharing and collaboration capabilities - integrated so well with our Teams channels.

Cons

Legacy code seems kludgy.
UI/UX are dated.
Could benefit from context sensitive suggestions and debugging.

Return on Investment

Greatly enhanced time to create share and finalize documentation.
Better collaboration between disparate teams, such as marketing opts and sales ops.
Transparency/visibility into standardize, workflows and processes have led to better team, relationships, and better results that translate directly to the bottom line and ROI.

Even though it’s a more expensive solution, Vizio is built for the enterprise. Therefore, it integrates perfectly with our existing Microsoft stack, and quite frankly, because it’s such a more mature product, it provides exactly the functionality we need and expect.
