"A Crucial Tool for Regulatory Affairs"
5/5
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"
3.5/5
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.

"Simple Yet Effective for Process Mapping"
5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

I like that Visio is a simple, straightforward, and intuitive tool. It doesn't require in-depth training to use, which makes it accessible even without much prior experience. The tools are displayed in a simple way, allowing me to explore and start using it easily. There's a lot of content available to help me get started with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Probably with adding milestones to the maps or adding different sections. If we have one simple process, it's very easy. But if you have a lengthy process that has dependencies, it could get a little bit complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
