Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There were lots of different requirements, and collaboration and review is one of the biggest things. There is also Office 360 integration, and there's flexibility to use it as a database as well."
"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."
"The product has a valuable customized model."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"The most valuable features of iServer are the integration with Microsoft Office and the interface is similar to Microsoft applications making them easy to use."
"We like the governance."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"Visio is outstanding because it has features that are useful for project management."
"Great at illustrating advanced topics which helps my team understand what I'm trying to get across."
"The solution is easy to understand with some hands-on experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to draw models quickly."
"I find the control flow and settings features valuable."
"The scalability is good. We can reuse it as a model. It can be modified."
"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."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"It definitely needs help to improve the visual aspect of the solution."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface."
"There could be features for process mining, process simulation, and analytics."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"The user interface could be more robust."
"Visio's scalability could be improved. I had a license through my school and it would have been great to be able to collaborate with more people."
"It does not integrate well with other solutions."
"I would like to be able to present diagrams in multiple ways, such as a Swimlane diagram."
"One issue I've noticed is that when working on a shared video link with a friend for Visio, there can be a delay in changes reflecting on their screen after I've made them. This also occurs when we're working on the same document. It would be beneficial if changes could be reflected in real-time. Additionally, I've experienced some text size issues with the flow task feature. Sometimes when I enter text, it appears very small, and increasing the size causes it to extend beyond the diagram, creating formatting issues. It would be helpful if these text and formatting issues could be addressed."
"I think that it feels a bit outside with respect to the icons that are available."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's flexibility can be perceived as both a strength and a weakness."
