Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Visio is used to create process maps and outline the flow of a process within the company. Visio helps to identify key controls within a process and helps to explain how certain systems or processes are related to one another. This gives team members and other people a visual idea of the flow of a process that may be examined. I have been using Visio for two years, and I love the visual representation that the final product leaves you.

Pros

  • Visio comes with icons that can help differentiate processes within a map. These can be used to be a legend and helps create a visually appealing flow.
  • Visio is user-friendly and allows the user to easily navigate through the different creative options that can be used.
  • Because this is a Microsoft product, Visio works well with other Microsoft products for easy translation.

Cons

  • When navigating through swim lanes, the user must be careful between switching from the point to the connection features as it can be difficult to remember which mode you’re in.
  • When drawing “decision points,” it can be difficult to type words like “yes” or “no” between the connection lines.
  • The exporting options aren’t ideal. They are hard to create in PDF format.
  • Creation of process maps and diagrams.
  • Flexibility across other Microsoft tools.
  • Easy to navigate and learn.
  • The visual aids it creates make for a very professional and clean look.
  • Helps team members to easily understand what it is you’re trying to convey.
  • Helps with timeliness of identifying key controls and concepts.
Microsoft Visio is very user-friendly and has many options for the created to use in order to get to their final product. The tool helps to get complex ideas into a visual design, therefore making it easier for other team members to understand the message you are trying to convey. The tool gives the user a great experience In comparison to other products.

Do you think Microsoft Visio delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft Visio's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Visio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Visio go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft Visio again?

Yes

I believe any company or individual that is looking to get a process map visualized; would be a great tool. The tool is a great way to get complex ideas onto “paper” for all to see. Visio can be harder to use if you have an idea that is going in many different directions. If all ideas can fit on one page, this is the tool to use to visualize it all.
