## Reviews

### "Falling behind??" — 4.0/5

> **Jodi** | *14 September 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Has been around along time and is receiving regular updates.
> 
> **Cons**: Has fallen behind competitors who offer a better service at a cheaper price.
> 
> The basic edition included in Microsoft 365 is good but could do with improvements

-----

### "The Diagram tool I used for 15 years" — 4.0/5

> **Gary** | *28 July 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Visio provides a comprehensive library of templates and shapes, including specific sets for network diagrams, cloud architecture, and IT infrastructure. This extensive collection allows for precise and professional representation of technical solutions.
> 
> **Cons**: Visio is primarily designed for Windows, and while there are web-based versions, the functionality is often limited compared to the desktop application. This can be a limitation for teams using different operating systems.

-----

### "Wide range of templates" — 3.0/5

> **Billie** | *26 August 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There is a wide range of templates available which saves you valuable time
> 
> **Cons**: It is a expensive platform in comparison to competitors
>

-----

### "Being part of the Microsoft Suite makes it effortless" — 5.0/5

> **Joshua** | *24 June 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We primarily operate on the Microsoft suite so this takes away a lot of the troubles of using an external product. With all our users educated well on saving things on OneDrive/Sharepoint, this makes it very easy to do so and place them in shared folders for them to be accessed by other individuals. We are currently in a process of mapping out internal processes to be shared with new partners that have entered our business and this makes it effortless for our users, coupled with the fact it integrates with the rest of the Microsoft suite easily.
> 
> **Cons**: I think for users that have never used visio before, there is a bit of complexity to product high quality diagrams.

-----

### "Excellent tool for creating flow charts and diagrams" — 5.0/5

> **Ruchir** | *3 May 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Vision offers a lot of options and features for allowing users to create flow charts and IT solution architecture diagrams. The software is intuitive and can be used effectively with little to no training. Easy to integrate the diagrams with other Office tools as well
> 
> **Cons**: The application runs a bit slow and tends to take up a lot of PC resources. Not ideal for low end computers
