Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use.""This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it.""Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard.""We found the technical support to be helpful.""iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process.""The solution is very stable.""The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services.""Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."

"We can easily add templates to SharePoint for collaboration.""The most valuable feature of this product is its versatility.""The fact that you could program in VBA is most valuable.""The main reason I choose Visio is that it is easy to use. The user interface is familiar and straightforward. Additionally, it offers a variety of templates, such as those for Cisco solutions, which make it easy to create diagrams for specific use cases. For example, we use a Cisco Meraki switch and we can find the exact template for it, then we can easily drop in the components and connect the cables to create the diagram.""It is a scalable solution.""What I like about it is that the templates are easily findable and usable, and they are usually created for other software packages. It seems to be pretty much widely adopted in the industry.""It has a lot of great features.""If you are a knowledgeable individual, the initial setup isn't too difficult."

Cons
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server.""In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet.""With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex.""The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings.""It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us.""Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process.""It can be more user-friendly.""The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform Cons →

"One issue I've noticed is that when working on a shared video link with a friend for Visio, there can be a delay in changes reflecting on their screen after I've made them. This also occurs when we're working on the same document. It would be beneficial if changes could be reflected in real-time. Additionally, I've experienced some text size issues with the flow task feature. Sometimes when I enter text, it appears very small, and increasing the size causes it to extend beyond the diagram, creating formatting issues. It would be helpful if these text and formatting issues could be addressed.""There could be better integration between Visio and Word, especially when it comes to importing graphics from the one to the other.""Inventory feature could be improved.""I would like to see traceability. It doesn't have it. You cannot find one object amongst several sheets of Visio diagrams.""I would like to see better integration with external data sources.""When you use a BPA solution you can open an end-to-end process in one window, go down, or go up between layers to different places. You should be able to see descriptions of the steps of the process.""Its integration with other vendors can be better and support for other formats. For example, when we import a JPEG, we cannot customize it. Similarly, we can't utilize the BPML kind of diagrams.""It can be complex. If you don't know a little bit about it, it can get really confusing."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Visio has improved my workflow by making it easy to create charts, diagrams, and essential illustrations to use in my client reports and proposals. It has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend creating visuals for clients manually.” - Michael B., Principal Consultant at Lexington Consulting

    “I use it for diagramming networks, racks, data centers, data flow applications, etc. It is a useful tool to map data flows, network objects, and computer science technology and to show to clients. It does what I need it to do. It's a tool I've used the longest, so I know it the best, and that's probably the claim to fame.” - Greg S., Director of Solution Architecture at Winslow Technology Group

    “We use Visio for architecture modeling. We also use it to facilitate communication with other people. The feature I like most about Visio is that it acts as a facilitator of communication, as it displays information in a way that's easier to understand.” - Guy M., IT/Business Architect at a financial services firm
