Visio Erfahrungen

Raster-Funktion ist sehr hilfreich, auch die Möglichkeit dokumentenweit ein festes Raster vorzugeben ist praktisch, gerade bei MehrNutzer-Betrieb

Darstellungsunterschiede abhängig von Zoom-Stufe (je nach Zoom-Stufe erscheinen Objekte optimal ausgerichtet oder verschöben)

Einfaches Handling, schöne Grafik, professionelle Outputs

Preis, sonst keine Nachteile zu bemängeln

Einfache Bedienung für die User. Bereitstellung durch Softwareverteilung auch ein Kinderspiel. Wenn man sich in der Office bzw. O365/M365-Welt zu Hause fühlt, ist dieses Produkt für alle einfach zu bedienen und bietet alles notwendigen Charts/Samples zur Darstellung div. Abläufe oder Dokumentation von Netzwerken.

Preislich hoch angesiedelt, vor allem bei dem monatlichen Abomodell.

Sind noch am ausgiebigen testen im Moment noch keine Aussage dazu möglich

Wie schon erwähnt noch am ausgiebigen Testen deshalb möchten wir keine Aussage dazu machen im Moment

Funktionalität, es gibt sonst keine vergleichbare Software

Teuer und im Standard Windowspaket nicht enthalten

Man kann mit Visio sehr gute Pläne erzeugen, einfach zu bedienen mit besten Ergebnissen

Visiolizenzen sind sehr teuer, bereits erstellte Pläne brauchen zur Veränderung wieder eine lizensierte Version

Einfach importieren von Elementen/Dateien mit den unterschiedlichsten Formaten

Hätte eine Zeitlang eine instabile Version im Einsatz

Die Funktion ist einfach und schnell Mann kommt gut zu recht

Ich habe keine Verbesserungsvorschläge Vorschläge

It can connect to a wide range of data sources to present data in your charts. It has a wide range of abilities through the various add-ons and tools. The range of standard drawing objects is huge and you can create your own if you know what you are doing.

It sucks for trying to program against it. Every drawing object has its own properties, methods and behaviors. It is a real nightmare if you need to integrate it into an automation system. The only one I have found that might be worse is Outlook and that would depend on what you were doing.

I like that I can use Visio to easily demonstrate workflows and process improvement ideas. There is a range of understanding for software like Visio. I do not use it to automate at my place of work, but I use it extensively for visual learners when implementing or discussing new processes, procedures, and ideas. Often I have co-workers take these designs and display them for their team as a physical reminder, others are more intuitive and I work with them to develop interactive workflows (with links, actions, etc.)

There are some elements to how you design that are not intuitive. I usually spend about 15 minutes with users who download the software to demonstrate how they can make their flows and diagrams. The organization chart is particularly more cumbersome than advertised, but even so, I have users who use it for this purpose. Online resources are sparse as well, and I often am troubleshooting when trying new methods.

Users appreciate Visio's customizability, ease of use, integration with other Microsoft tools, and robust feature set. These features make it a valuable tool for visualizing and managing complex information.

Visio has a steeper learning curve than other diagramming tools, especially if they are not familiar with other Microsoft products. Additionally, the price of Visio can be a potential drawback for some users, as it is not included in most Microsoft Office packages and must be purchased separately.

I liked that the software is very intuitive, like other Microsoft software. What does not cause strangeness during editing. For those with a certain knowledge of Office, Visio does not scare compared to competitors.

I didn't like that I could only use it online, which limits some features. To get the software by download, it is necessary to have a plan that is way above what my usage allows. However, for basic projects and cheaper Office packages, it's excellent.

Visio is a comprehensive and powerful diagramming software that is suitable for professional use. It is a great tool for making complex diagrams and flowcharts quickly and effectively. It also has a large library of templates and shapes that make it easier to create visually appealing diagrams quickly and easily.

While Visio is a powerful and comprehensive tool, it can be expensive and difficult to get started with. It also requires a certain level of technical skill to use the more advanced features.

Wide Range of Templates: Visio comes with a variety of templates that make it easy to create professional-looking diagrams, such as flowcharts, organizational charts, and network diagrams.Integration with other Microsoft Products: Visio is integrated with other Microsoft products, such as Word and Excel, making it easy to insert diagrams into other documents.Collaboration Features: Visio allows for easy collaboration on diagrams, with features such as real-time co-authoring and the ability to share diagrams with others for review.Customization: Visio offers a wide range of customization options, such as the ability to add shapes, change colors, and adjust layouts to create unique and professional-looking diagrams.Cross-platform Compatibility: Visio is available for both Windows and Mac, making it accessible to a wider range of users.

Steep learning curve: Visio is a complex tool with a lot of features, so it can take some time to learn how to use it effectively.Cost: Visio is not a free tool and requires a subscription to use. This can be a barrier for some users, especially those who only need to create diagrams infrequently.Limited compatibility with non-Microsoft platforms: While Visio integrates well with other Microsoft products, it may not work as seamlessly with non-Microsoft platforms, which can be a drawback for some users.

Easy to Use: Visio is designed to be user-friendly, with a intuitive interface and drag-and-drop functionality that makes it easy to create diagrams and flowcharts.Wide Range of Templates: Visio provides a variety of templates, including flowcharts, organizational charts, network diagrams, and more, which can help users create diagrams quickly and easily.Customization: Users can customize their diagrams and flowcharts by adding text, shapes, images, and other elements, as well as customizing colors, fonts, and more.Integration with Other Microsoft Tools: Visio integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft tools, such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project, which can improve efficiency and productivity.Real-Time Collaboration: Visio allows multiple users to work on the same diagram at the same time, which can be useful for team projects and collaboration.

Limited Export Options: Visio can only export diagrams and flowcharts to a limited number of file formats, which can be a drawback for users who need to share their diagrams with others who use different software.Complexity: For more complex diagrams, Visio can be challenging to use, especially for users who are unfamiliar with the software.

What I liked to use most about Visio is its versatility in creating different types of diagrams and design, from flowcharts to floor plans, and everything in between. With its extensive library of shapes, icons, and templates, Visio makes it easy to create professional-looking diagrams that convey complex ideas and information. The software also allows users to collaborate with others in real-time, which is particularly useful for team projects.Another thing I appreciate about Visio is its intuitive user interface. The software is easy to navigate, with tools and features arranged logically and clearly labeled. It also provides a variety of customization options, including the ability to modify shapes and colors, add annotations and comments, and import data from other sources.

While there are many benefits to using Visio, there are some areas where it can be improved. For example, the software can be a bit overwhelming for beginners, especially those who are not familiar with the jargon used in diagramming and design. Additionally, the cost of the software can be a bit steep for some users, especially those who only need to create diagrams occasionally.

Microsoft Visio is renowned for its real-time collaboration feature, which enables multiple users to work on projects simultaneously. This boosts productivity and efficiency, and promotes a positive work culture that encourages teamwork and creative problem-solving. The software's user-friendly interface makes it accessible to even those with limited diagramming experience, and the real-time collaboration feature is particularly useful for individuals who require group collaboration on their projects.

Microsoft Visio has a few disadvantages, such as its limited integration with various wireframing programs. This can pose difficulties when sharing Visio-created wireframes with non-Visio users. For individuals whose work depends on wireframing, this lack of compatibility can be a significant inconvenience. Moreover, Visio's compatibility issues with certain web browsers have been an ongoing concern, and have caused difficulty in accessing the software at times.

Visio is an exceptional modeling tool that offers a wide range of pre-designed shapes and stencils that are extremely helpful in creating outstanding diagrams. I have used it extensively for designing and maintaining UML diagrams, networking diagrams, and architecture diagrams.

Compared to its competitors, Visio is relatively costly, which may pose a hindrance for certain businesses. Additionally, it is important to note that Visio is only available for Windows operating systems, and if you intend to use it on a Mac, you will need to utilize the web application.

Easier to learn and use it even for a beginner who never used Visio or any proper software.
The richness of the templates in the library and even the possibility to download additional templates as per your requirement.
Available many stencils with most of the brands (HP, Cisco, Dell, etc.) when using to draw network diagrams.

You need to pay separately for license costs even you have Office Professional or Office 365.
Need to convert to PDF or another version to view it , if you don't have Visio to see it.

The transferability of "clip art" for my diagrams allow for an accurate depiction of the product we are trying to show.

Some of the shared programs saved within Visio sometimes do not save properly causing a full start from scratch. 1-2 times out of 10. Still favorable for a great program

Visio appears to be an industry leader and standard for process diagramming. I love the speed with which we can create process diagrams in Visio. We use Visio web interface, which is less-featured than Professional version, but is very functional for small and medium business. Web version is also easiest for users to see the diagrams and edit them.

I don't like compatibility issues between Visio web version and Professional desktop version. To work around that, we use web version consistently. Web version's limited feature-set is more tolerable than fixing compatibility issues.

The use of the tool is quite simple and it is very easy to become familiar with its way of diagramming. 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.

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.

I have found Microsoft Visio to be a great tool for any business to manage their flow diagrams, organizational structure, network diagrams, and document management. It is a vast utility to support various stencils as per the requirement of the organization or structure required. I found Azure Stencils to be great and detailed in order to elaborate on the cloud environment.

I found it a bit inconvenient that the built-in stencils for Microsoft Visio are limited and it requires extra time and effort to search them manually and apply them in the business model. Visio should be offering their own store to get Stencils and document management utilities.

- It can draw anything you can think of
- There are many pre-defined symbols that can be dragged and dropped into a drawing
- Pre-defined symbols can be easily incorporated into your drawing with connectors that snap to connection points and can then be dragged to other parts of the drawing.
- It can print your drawing onto any size paper you select
- Drawings, objects, symbols, lines and connectors can be colored using the standard Windows colors.
- Objects and symbols can have data embedded into them from a database or used to create a database.
- There is an almost unlimited amount of help available from boards and users on the web.
- You can import AutoCAD drawings and change them.
- Drawings can be exported into AutoCAD format.

- There is a very long learning curve.
- It uses the typical Microsoft help function which cannot find things using plain English queries. (Google is MUCH better)
- It may be difficult to find the thing you want to do as there are some many functions.
- The Microsoft "Ribbon" can be a real pain when trying to find a function. It can waste a huge amount of time.
- If you know the name of the function, you can put into the "What do you want to do" search function but if you find it there, it does not show you where, in the Ribbon, that function is, so you do not have the opportunity to learn
- It can be quite cumbersome, when working on something and then needing to do something else, which requires many moves from the drawing to the Ribbon and back.
- The Ribbon
- You use the Pointer a lot but it requires a trip to the Ribbon when you are doing anything else and need the pointer, like text.
- It is very expensive, even when subscribed to it in Office 365.

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.

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.
