"The most valuable feature is the amount of flexibility that one has to model, which is great for an individual."
"It is very user-friendly, and the customer service is really good."

"Offers good standards compliance and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of No Magic MagicDraw is the simulation capabilities and interface."
"The technical support is very good."
"I would rate MagicDraw a nine out of ten because of the price. Enterprise Architect has a lot of bugs and MagicDraw is a lot more accurate and flexible. It's a level better."
"The product provides a lot of flexibility in writing graphs and customizing them."
"The fact that you could program in VBA is most valuable."
"What I like best about Visio is that it's flexible. Sometimes, if I need to draw quickly, I use Microsoft PowerPoint, but if I need icons, which Visio has, I use Visio. I also like that the solution gives me a much more powerful range of options."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it is integrated with other tools in the Microsoft Office suite, as well as at the backend with products like SharePoint and Microsoft Teams."
"It keeps track of its connections as you move things around."
"The Data Objects are hyperlinked to the Standard Operating Procedures, Letters, and Forms."
"Visio has allowed us to create good diagrams for our technical employees to consume. The solution provides templates, is straightforward, and has tools for the easy creation of diagrams."
"The licenses are expensive compared to similar tools. At the moment, the user is open to using MagicDraw if it's 15% more than other solutions. If it were to cost any more, they wouldn't use it."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The UI UX of the tool is not really user-friendly and needs to be completely reformed."
"The documentation for MagicDraw and the video tutorials compared to other competitors is an area for improvement."
"One potential area for improvement is the recommendation feature. At times, we face challenges in locating specific features, and we have to reach out for assistance in finding the information we need."
"It's very focused on specific modern languages and it doesn't do necessarily general systems software engineering with diagrams. They should expand the diagram types for the languages."
"There could be a trial version for students."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy live business process models and capture real-time data (without the need for another product tool) so you don't have to be dependent on other products for this functionality."
"I would like to see better integration with external data sources."
"There are some issues in Visio with the connectors, and it gets tricky when you want to connect objects with each other."
"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."
"I would like to see the project planning element improved, although it won't happen because Microsoft deliberately made it worse."
"They could improve the drawing function, other solutions provide easier drawing capabilities."
"I would like to see Visio become some kind of enterprise architecture, which it is not."
"I can't speak to any missing features. It's been fine so far."
"It needs hyperlinked or narratives for page flows to make demos more effective."
