Pros
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business.""It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."

More TIBCO Nimbus Control Pros →

"Visio is easy to use.""Visio has improved our organization through an essential collaboration with the other Microsoft applications like SharePoint and Excel. So basically in the earlier days, what used to happen, a majority of the organization captured all the as-is process, the time and motion data in the form of Excel and then they used to create process diagrams using other freeware applications. Collaboration allows easy and convenient sharing with other stakeholders, that is really helpful with Visio.""The solution is easy to understand with some hands-on experience.""The interface of the solution is very good. It's easy to navigate.""Process modeling is a good feature.""The initial setup is pretty easy.""The most valuable features are process mapping and identifying responsibilities.""The scalability is good. We can reuse it as a model. It can be modified."

Cons
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."

More TIBCO Nimbus Control Cons →

"An area for improvement in Visio is pricing. It's a costly tool for my company because it only uses Visio occasionally.""The one particular thing which I would like to see improved is in comparison to other products in the market, and is still lacking in Visio, is publishing on a web application. For example, there is a freeware application business process modeling tool, Bizagi.""I would like to see included in the next release is the implementation of web publishing.""They could improve the drawing function, other solutions provide easier drawing capabilities.""The only downside to Visio is the learning curve.""Visio could improve by simplifying the application to allow the business user more understanding. This will allow us to bring the solution deeper into the organization for use. It can be difficult to navigate and some users tend to rely on third-party applications for auditing, compliance, and policy configuration.""The solution could improve by making it more modern.""Lacks stencils for new technologies in the solution."

    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
