Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visio

Visio is a tool that help me to model business processes and communicate efficiently my ideas and solutions to my colleagues. I create many diagrams for architecture meetings and for development documentation. The creation of diagrams is fast and easy, I always find the icons for any required diagram.The creation of mental maps and ideas is really easy and useful for my daily activities. Actually, many times I create diagrams to clarify my ideas by using mental maps.

Pros

  • Mental maps for new ideas
  • Architecture diagrams for cloud deployments
  • Class component diagrams

Cons

  • Some icons for cloud diagrams are not easy to find
  • The usage of collaborative feature is a game changer in the company
  • The standardization of technical diagram across the company
Microsoft Visio's overall usability for me, it is a 9/10 because it is really easy and intuitive to use. Sometimes it's not easy to find a particular template, because there are a lot of them; but that is not a huge problem. Additionally, the presence of many standard icons for technical diagrams is really useful in my daily activities.
Microsoft Visio stacks up against other tools, because it is a professional tool with standard icons and a nice template library for all my needs. The tool provides many diagrams for many engineering purposes, from simple flow charts to more complex diagrams. The usage of Microsoft Visio allows me to use standard diagrams across all the organization.
