The ability to create my vision and build something from scratch. With Visio we are able to layout a schematic of how equipment is connected. This allows the field to use this drawing and connect everything up without the need for additional training. We can be extremely detailed or a simplified drawing. We use Visio for Org Charts also. I feel this tool is much more than an Org Chart. It's use is limitless. Visio is easy to read for a beginner. We use it as a training tool for our interns and all new hires in the Planning, Engineering or Design teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing fees are a little pricey. I would like to see a corporate rate. I realize w/ a company size of over 40K, we don't need everyone w/ a Visio License. Some departments only need to view Visio and don't need to edit. If there was a tiered system that might work for a large corporation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We searched for an option to make our org chart the way we needed to be shown and Visio was the only one that allowed us to do what we needed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's interface is not very flash, but it gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visio is the best tool for drafting and drawing of process p&id, BFD and PFD. This software is very much useful for the process engineer to draw a process diagram with equipment like heat exchanger, distillation, vessel, pump, valve and many other instruments inbuilt available which is very helpful for proper drawing of p&id and another sheet.it is very easy to understand and user friendly interface.

One thing about Visio software that needs to be an update is we can not share one particular file and also some degree of the interface also needs to be develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Visio is almost all kind of shapes are available in the tool, which can be easily used for creating the solution architecture, and it provides the attractive connector between shapes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Visio is the UI, it can be improved further, and the Shape design or coloring can be improved; shapes looks very basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can use the app and collaborate with others. I shared the Visio file on MS Teams, where other folks on my project can work on it simultaneously. I think this option is way easier than creating process flows on PowerPoint or other apps. Another thing I like is that once I create my designs and flows, I can copy and paste them to other third-party apps (for example, MURAL). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The saving might seem complicated; if someone has the Visio open on the computer and has it checked out, then you can't edit it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is simple and intuitive.

No more pain to create diagrams like in the other apps.

You don’t need the support of a graphic designer to create your models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since Microsoft bought it, I can't get anything to align properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Templates - Visios pre-defined templates are one of my favourite aspects of this program. My use of these templates have helped me finish process diagramming projects faster than I would, if I had to create them from scratch.

Drag and Drop design - Visios drag and drop design has allowed me to create diagrams without any special knowledge . With its drag and drop connectors, I get to easily edit pre-defined templates and connect icons without complications.

Export - This is a vital aspect of my Visio experience. Because not everyone has Visio installed on their systems, it is important that I am able to export my charts and diagrams into a different format than the standard Visio format. By being able to convert my finished charts into .png for example, anyone can open and analyze my diagrams without needing any special tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me a while to learn how to resize shapes on Visio. My experience has been a smoother one ever since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
