Great BPMN feature; has greatly assisted the company in implementing procedural improvements
If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage. Because we are mostly Microsoft-oriented, there are people more inclined towards Visio than iGrafx. I'd like to see additional features such as a multi-language option which is currently only possible if you publish in Java. I'm publishing in HTML and it's not possible to use multi-language. The same applies concerning the ability to increase and decrease size which would provide extra functionality when publishing. If you're not in the cloud and you're a single user, these things would make a difference.

Scalable and stable solution for creating system plans and hardware equipment structure
We use the tool for creating system plans and some hardware equipment structure I find the control flow and settings features valuable. The control flow feature needs to be improved. I compared Visio to Bizagi and found that control flow is better with Bizagi. The improvements that can be made…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"The solution is very stable."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Visio makes it easier than with other tools to do such tasks as changing things or coming up with one's own visual style for presentation purposes."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The main reason I choose Visio is that it is easy to use. The user interface is familiar and straightforward. Additionally, it offers a variety of templates, such as those for Cisco solutions, which make it easy to create diagrams for specific use cases. For example, we use a Cisco Meraki switch and we can find the exact template for it, then we can easily drop in the components and connect the cables to create the diagram."
"The ability to visualize a workflow is certainly an advantage over just tracking a process in something like Excel."
"The most valuable feature is the set of diagramming tools."
"We are all familiar with it, and it is easy to use. There is a lot of flexibility, and you can add shapes if you want."
"It is easy to use."
"The thing I like most about Visio is the stencils. As the product has matured over time, it comes with more stencils and objects that you can just pick out of the menu and go with."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"Some of the improvements that have been made in Visio have not been beneficial, at least to me, personally. Too many things have been added to it, and it makes it kind of clunky sometimes. There is an overwhelming desire or competition to continue to improve it when the product is and has been pretty good, and some of what is done tends to clutter it. In some cases, the updates make it more difficult to use. It is already pretty feature-heavy and continuing to add stuff is not productive from my perspective."
"Occasionally, the automation feature that helps you easily add the "next step" goes crazy and it will move a bunch of stuff."
"There are too many features."
"It requires a lot of skill to get into it."
"The database modeling has deteriorated significantly in the more current versions."
"The solution should be included in Microsoft Office 365. For some reason, it's not. It should be bundled in with everything else."
"The price could be lower because it is too expensive in South America when paying in dollars or euros."
"The product's installation phase can be a difficult process if you don't have the deployment script with you since it is very important to know what you are doing when you are dealing with the setup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and I would rate it 6 out of 10."
"You have to purchase a license to use the solution."
"I don't have any issue with the pricing. It has a subscription-based model, and the subscription is done on a yearly basis. Of course, we need internal approvals in place."
"Personally, I think the price of this solution is too high."
"I rate the price of Visio a six out of ten."
"Visio is included with our Microsoft enterprise license."
"I give the cost of Visio a five out of ten."
"I think costs are on a per user basis."
