The editor is extremely complete and there are multiple templates that we can use or adapt to our needs. The integration with other office tools allows us to incorporate our diagrams into text documents, presentations and share our designs with the rest of the organization. > > **Cons**: It is an excellent diagramming platform, which has been maintained over time, incorporating innovative integrations with more recent and collaborative applications, which allows it to ensure its validity for much longer. > > Without a doubt, Visio has remained a reference tool in process diagramming for service companies, manufacturing, and in general, for all those organizations that need to represent their operation in diagrams based on standard rules. Since it maintains the concept of design and use of most of the tools developed by Microsoft, we do not need to invest a lot of time and effort in the adoption of the platform. ----- ### "Visio is a great tool to build diagrams fast" — 5.0/5 > **Dhaval** | *11 March 2025* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy to use this program is. I use it mainly to design a basic model of my project or assignment. I like how there are multiple types of shapes to use in the model. I can place them anywhere I want and connect them easily. This is a very convenient program to use to build quick simple designs. > > **Cons**: I don't like how the program has limited components, such as the ones needed for my more complex designs at work. However, I do not mind this since I am able to label the shapes with the text feature. > > Overall, I love using Visio to construct basic diagrams of my design work. It is a very reliable and easy to use tool. I can also learn more details with the help menu available. There are many ways to make models on it, and so I find it convenient to use this software. ----- ### "Visio – professional in diagram drawing" — 3.0/5 > **Chaya** | *15 April 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visio has become one of the major applications which is used in drawing diagrams in the industry. Visio has become almost an official tool in diagraming as it is vastly used In most of the companies in creating diagrams related to their business plans and projects. There are various types of diagrams provided through the application . So the users can draw any type of a diagram according to their requirement from the given diagram types. Because of the large number of diagram types provide by the application users’ does not need to search different software to draw different diagrams which saves both the time and money of the user. Visio offers different editions like Standard, professional and pro with particularly improved functions per each edition. Also Visio created diagrams can be imported in another similar diagram drawing software and do further modifications. Even the diagrams drawn by some selected software can be opened through Visio and edit them. Visio offers both desktop and online versions for the users which helps the users to use the product whenever they want wheatear they are connected to internet or not. > > **Cons**: Visio is not a platform independent software. So far Visio is only available for windows operating system. It does not supports mac os or Linux or any other operating system. Which has limited the usage of the application only for the users using windows. Though there are different editions users have to pay for each edition with more facilities. And the price need to be payed seems to be unfair considering the same category applications. Though there is a desktop version in Visio it is not constantly updated. Updates are available for the desktop version within few years time period. So it is bit difficult to work with the desktop version. > > Visio is one of the tools which is used by most of the people for drawing diagrams and charts. Because of the easiness in drawing and and professional look of the final product this application is more famous in the industry more specifically in IT industry. ----- ### "Microsoft Visio: The Ultimate Tool for Professional and Corporate Diagrams" — 5.0/5 > **Marcos** | *27 April 2025* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of creating network diagrams and a huge library of ready-made templates, you can find any type of drawing already semi-ready > > **Cons**: Depending on the size of the diagram, especially in networks or large plans, Visio may slow down, freeze, or even close out of nowhere. > > Very good, I have already dimensioned several networks with the help of the software, building incredible projects. ----- ### "Visio is a great product for Organizational charts" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *5 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use - part of the 355 office suite. Lots of option for different types of organization charts. Easy to use connectors. > > **Cons**: Would love a basic diagram where you can just use a title only. The default templates don't give this option. Having a "dotted line" to multiple staff would be an asset as well > > I use visio quite a lot for succession planning, org charts and strategy. Printing option isn't amazing but overall a great product which is connected to office 365. ----- Page: 1 / 133\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91066/visio?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91066/visio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
