AS Alberto S. Chief Information Officer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/22/2026 "Good Tool with Integration Limitations" 3/5 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. What problems is Visio solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Visio to depict in images ideas and concepts that are complex to explain textually.

Senior Product Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/10/2024 "Visio is good only if you hand to try your hands on otherwise there are many flaws in it." 2.5/5 What do you like best about Visio? Best thing about Visio is its learning curve. It is easy to learn flowchart creation if any is new to creating flowchart. Its learning curve is not steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Visio? Is it monotonous and it is not colorful and many important icon/symbols like database symbol and many other are paid, should be included in the free version. It's user interface looks archaic as compared to Miro which looks new and lively. There is no option of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where one can give text and on the basis of that AI can suggest which type of flow chart is good. Also if flow chart in Visio is very big and we try to paste it in word file or in PPT then it becomes blur. So there should be an option pasting in word/ppt, so that even if it is small, it should not be blured. Also the interface should be like all the options are visible to the one who is using it or atleast there should be some sort of small text or video for every option, so that if any new person is coming then he should know there itseld instead of experimenting with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Visio solving and how is that benefiting you? Visio is only solving basic problem of creating flowchart and it has benefitted me in the way that now I know what are the basic features in flowchart. Apart from that it is not solving any thing. Visio is only nice (not good) for those who are very new to flowcharting or diagramming as it has limited option. When I starting using it in my first company which was IBM, I faced so many problems. 1) I have search for various symbol which is required for creating flow chart as they have mentioned it below (lower left of the screen). 2) I was not able to change the color of the blocks as it was all blue by default. There was a need for showing different process in the same flow chart, so for that I was required to show it with different color which was absent in Visio. 3) There was no collaboration option where many people can edit the diagram at once and all can see who all there on the sheet at the same time. Now we have shifted from Visio to Miro because of the problems we faced in Visio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust, detailed, flexible diagramming tool. Ideal for building out large documentation projects that require integrated diagrams and flowcharts. I liked the level of control available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Visio? The lack of cloud features was really the only reason I ended up moving off of Visio.
