Find out in this report how the two Mind Mapping Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"I enjoy the fact that I can go into detail with Visio. In shared communications, I can inspect for any fault in my processes."
"The solution is finely stable."
"Putting details into the process flow and being able to link other objects into the diagrams are very helpful features."
"The solution makes it very easy to make exciting pictures and designs. Everything is very intuitive and simple to figure out."
"Just the fact that a majority of the industry uses it, and you've got third-party templates that were created."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The diagramming and swimlane features allow for separating business functions."
"The product's initial setup is really simple."
"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
"It would be nice if there is a database behind it. We have looked into this functionality, but all of the other solutions that have a database are very locked down, and you have to use them their way. You can't define your own stuff. For example, we have a system X, and I want to define system X myself and have it available. If I am ever going to make a change to system X, I want to pull up all the drawings that are associated with system X. I want to be able to search and pull all those drawings. Visio should have the ability to capture metrics associated with each step in the process. For example, based on a specific time, I should be able to link the data to a spreadsheet, which is kind of like the data analysis on the process."
"Inventory feature could be improved."
"The auto-routing feature could be better."
"Portability from Visio to PowerPoint and vice versa could be simplified."
"Integration with other software would be an area of improvement, so that it's not just used to document but also as a center plane for information sharing."
"The user interface could be simplified and easier to use."
"I would like to see the project planning element improved, although it won't happen because Microsoft deliberately made it worse."
"An area for improvement in Visio is pricing. It's a costly tool for my company because it only uses Visio occasionally."
