"Easy to use to Build Flowcharts"
5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

What I like the most about Visio is it supports you in making something that starts off as being extremely complicated and overwhelming into straight forward and easy to read. There is no other application that allows you to build a flow chart so effortlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

There are a few things I am still struggling with in Visio such as deleting, it is more complcated than it should be to delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good software for Flow Chart and Visual Diagrams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

The best thing I like about Visio is that we can easily and quickly make professional-level flow charts and visual diagrams to make things easy to understand. We can drag and drop the visuals and shapes and connect them per our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

I haven't found many downsides to using Visio, but there are a few things, like the limited customization. Visio doesn't really offer more options for customization. Visio is not free software, and to use it requires a subscription. If you want to use it on Mac, you must use the web application because Visio cannot be installed on Mac.

"Visio is all I need for diagramming"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

What I like best about Visio is its exceptional diagramming capabilities. The software offers a vast array of pre-built shapes, templates, and connectors, enabling us to create visually appealing and highly detailed diagrams effortlessly. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows for quick and precise placement of elements, ensuring our diagrams are clear and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

The learning curve can be steep for users who are new to the software. Although the interface is user-friendly, mastering advanced features and customization options requires time and effort. Additionally, the cost of Visio licenses is high compared to other diagramming tools on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software for making visual flowcharts and decision trees in Diagram format."
5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

The best thing about Microsoft Visio is its built-in templates, which act as a great helping hand while making any flowchart. Its ease of integration with other Microsoft Applications makes it even better as a tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Although Visio is a great tool and it serves the purpose, sometimes file sharing becomes a little difficult because of the size of the file considering fewer elements in the file. I think Microsoft can take it as a feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple tool to visualize process flow"
4/5
What do you like best about Visio?

Visio helps us to create process flow, workflow and so on. The best thing is its simplicity to use to build your own business process flow. but my favorite is the organization chart future. It does allow me to import directly from Microsoft Exchange and create beautiful charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Although it allows me to create beautiful organization charts, it has restrictions to change dynamically. When I link an Excel table to a chart, I am expecting the changes to be done dynamically. But it is not happening, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"why i migrated to lucid from Visio"
5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

I migrated to Lucid to better collaborate with consultants who may not have full network access to our enterprise. I also like this tool better for collaboration. I find that the AWS/AWS icons and templates look more professional. I am working on several logical diagrams that detail our current state business system architecture and how it will migrate to SAP and AWS.

I could use some feedback and advice on my current lucid charts and I could polish them up to look like formal SAP order to cash/procure to pay processes?

Do you have access to Lucid? Do you have any resources that may have some recommended templates?

I have attached a few but they are difficult to get one page ppt which will be helpful to share with leadership. Can I work with someone and share my templates and get some feedback and recommendations? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

Visio does not allow collaboration like Lucid. I love the cloud ability to share and have multi people update in Lucid! I have several documents I would like to review with Lucid Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful diagramming and flowcharting tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Visio?

I've been using Visio for a long time, and I continue to be impressed with its capabilities. The templates it provides for creating diagrams and flowcharts quickly make it well worth learning to use effectively. What's more, you can save your custom work in different versions so that everyone on the same project is aware of any changes - this ensures that no information is lost during collaboration, making these projects run much more smoothly than before. Not only is this version great, but Microsoft's Office 365 also has access to the cloud-based service edition, making teamwork even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Visio?

I find that Visio lacks clarity when it comes to error-causing issues. When I first learned the program, struggling with formulas felt like a major roadblock, and while my skills have improved greatly since then, some additional explanation of what causes errors in the software and how to fix them would be very beneficial for newer users.
