Reviews of Visio
Visio, perfect for illustrations, Workflows and Diagrams
Pros:
The vast amount of available tools and shapes, layered setup and import & export features.
Cons:
Due to its pricing, Visio isn't available for our users by default (like other MS Office products, Word, excel, outlook etc.) and require purchasing of additional licenses. Cost concerns is pushing us away from the application, to another but free or cheaper application.
Visio is more than a profess flow app.
Comments: I am very satisfied with Visio and have been using it for years for just about everything. No complaints.
Pros:
Visio serves as my primary whiteboard for project management. It provides much more than it's intended use as a process flow application. You can also add images, hyperlinks, rich text, and more.
Cons:
Organization. If I could combine Visio with OneNote, it would be perfect.
Alternatives Considered:
Visio web and desktop clients
Comments: I've used it for parking lot diagrams and IT diagrams
Pros:
I like the desktop application. Not so much the web application. There are no options to upload specialized equipment diagrams on the web client.
Cons:
I don't like the watered down web client. There's not enough capability

Visio worked great but I don't know better
Comments: Overall Visio was great to use. It was very intuitive and I would be happy to use it again.
Pros:
I was able to easily jump into using Microsoft Visio. I had never used it before before working at LBC and they are a MS company. So Visio was my option. I liked it and was happy to use it.
Cons:
Visio being a Microsoft program seems a tiny bit behind the rest of the industry in terms of innovations. It's rock solid but not cutting edge.
