"A Crucial Tool for Regulatory Affairs"
What do you like best about Visio?

I use Visio a lot for process mapping and regulatory pathway mapping, and it's a daily part of my job. I absolutely 100% can't do my job without it. It's extremely easy to use, and the templates included are extremely valuable, allowing me to easily adapt them to specific scenarios. The templates are also easily adaptable for quality and regulatory workflows, which is crucial for new market entry projects and compliance mapping. The setup was also extremely easy, especially since we had done it previously, and the newer version provided a walkthrough with more included templates, which was a bonus. Visio is by far the best product for flowcharting, and I eventually came back to it after trying a cheaper online version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

I don't have too many comments about what doesn't work well but I would like to see a little more AI inclusion. And if Microsoft Copilot already does that, I do not know about it. So they could do a better job of making the AI incorporation better known and what it can actually do in Visio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive for Quick Diagrams, but Limited Collaboration and Process Management"
What do you like best about Visio?

What I like most is how simple and easy it is to use for creating quick diagrams. It feels very intuitive, requires minimal setup, and makes it easy to visualize processes, flows, and system architectures quickly, without a lot of overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

It lacks advanced process management capabilities. The diagrams are static, and there’s no central repository or straightforward way to keep multiple files consistent. Collaboration and version control options are limited, and it doesn’t handle process analysis or interlinking particularly well, which becomes a real challenge on larger, more complex projects.

"Visio clear and professional diagrams!"
What do you like best about Visio?

Visio makes creating clean, professional-looking diagrams incredibly easy. I use it for a wide range of tasks, including flowcharts, organizational charts, network maps, and floor plans. The interface is straightforward and responsive, and the variety of templates helps me get started quickly. Because it’s a Microsoft application, it integrates smoothly with other Microsoft tools, making it simple to share and update documents with coworkers. Overall, it’s my preferred choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Perhaps the price could be a concern. Additionally, some of the more advanced features may require a bit of time to master. However, overall, the experience remains straightforward and positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Tool with Integration Limitations"
What do you like best about Visio?

Perhaps the integration with other Microsoft tools. Having a basically Microsoft ecosystem, being able to integrate and embed images directly in Visio and having a very smooth experience makes it a good tool. The initial setup of Visio was very simple, because being directly integrable, it's basically about discovering templates that can be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Well, precisely the integration with other tools, that it is not so interoperable and not so integrable with other non-Microsoft tools versus other similar tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stencils Are Great, But It Needs a Lighter Build"
What do you like best about Visio?

Stencils only, but I ran into an availability issue related to the vendor specifics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

It’s heavy, and I really need a lite edition. Sometimes it hangs, which makes it frustrating to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout of Visio is simple but i like the variety of containers available.
