The way the arrows connect automatically made it a very easy application to use when I was drawing flow charts > > **Cons**: It takes awhile to figure out exactly what amazing things Visio can do - have to play a round for a bit ----- ### "The best experience for the Office 365 world." — 4.0/5 > **Juan Daniel** | *21 October 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Complete integration with Office 365, making it easy to use with all applications. > > **Cons**: The price, compared to other options on the market that, although they do not do exactly the same as Visio, is extremely high. Additionally, by exploring other low-cost alternatives, you find functions that Visio does not have. > > Visio is wonderful as long as two things happen: 1) you work in a 365 environment, and 2) you pay for the most advanced plan to have complete functionality. Due to the time it has been on the market and its integration with Office from the beginning, it remains a good alternative. However, I tend to use some other tools for specific tasks that Visio does not handle in the same way. ----- ### "Visio - The Industry Standard" — 5.0/5 > **Drew** | *15 April 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you want a solid design solution that is currently the industry standard, you should absolutely go with Visio\! They have a ton of templates to make using the product really easy, plus it's unmatched for visual diagram creation. Visio is backed by Microsofts world class customer support, available 24/7. In terms of value for the money, I'd say it's excellent. It's time saving, and you can save/import/export files in any major format you need. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve to Visio, like there is with all professional design software. It just takes a bit of time to learn, and get used to. > > It does what I need, when I need it. I like being able to have one program that can handle all of my design needs, from one pane of glass. It's been a solid experience. ----- ### "Its ok for free" — 3.0/5 > **Keith** | *13 March 2025* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its free, has basic capabilities in software > > **Cons**: Very limited on the free version. You have to purchase it to get full version. > > It works great for basic and people that are beginners . ----- ### "Great diagramming tool that makes you look good." — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *4 March 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visio is a very powerful tool for making charts and diagrams of almost any type. Business process mapping, swimlanes, network diagrams and so on are all easy with this versatile software. > > **Cons**: Visio feels like an older app compared to other Office tools. This shows up in the interface, not a problem, and with its aesthetic abilities - especially arrow routing which can take a lot of manual correction. > > Visio is a great tool that makes me look good in a short period of time. I am very often asked 'how did you make that' and 'how did you produce that so fast?' ----- Page: 1 / 133\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/201133/visio?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/201133/visio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
