Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Visio is made free of charge to all our university's teaching teams, students and researchers. The use we make of it varies according to our daily needs. However, being a versatile tool allows us to use it for different purposes, even very different from each other. For example, we use it a lot both in organizing the activities of researcher working groups and in complex research. We also use it in courses with our students to help them manage their business processes.
  • Microsoft Visio is excellent for organizing thought processes related to our more complex research.
  • The diagrams created with Microsoft Visio are ideal for graphically displaying the internal organization of work and research groups through flow diagrams.
  • Microsoft Visio is a great tool for managing our students' activities by creating flowcharts that help us graphically visualize the steps of their group work.
  • Despite the advantages of the software, sometimes the diagrams that can be created are too static and do not always allow us to visualize our thoughts graphically.
  • Our students complain about Microsoft Visio's sometimes unintuitive graphics.
  • The Microsoft Visio user guide often doesn't help solve the problems we face. It's too synthetic.
  • The flow charts that can be created with Microsoft Visio are essential for organizing our activities.
  • Microsoft Visio allows us to organize, view and share our research processes easily and immediately.
  • Microsoft Visio allows us to support iterative methods in our research.
  • It has allowed us to speed up the creation of flowcharts and organizational charts significantly.
  • Microsoft Visio has enabled us to be more effective with our customers by using diagrams to describe our businesses.
  • It allows us to organize work with our students more easily.
I have personally never used or evaluated other programs similar to Microsoft Visio. I started using it following an indication from a colleague who told me that our University distributes it free of charge to its users. Since I first used it (more or less three years ago), I have never left Microsoft Visio. Excellent!

Given the versatility and diversity of the diagrams that can be created with Microsoft Visio, we use this tool for the most diverse activities. With our students, we use it to organize group activities and manage the tasks that everyone has to complete. In research groups, we use it to divide tasks and create organization charts. For research activities, especially the more complex ones carried out, for example, in PhD programmes, the diagrams allow us to display all the work phases graphically.
