Cons
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping.""The price could be more competitive.""The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings.""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be possible but I haven't seen it yet.""It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server.""The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface.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.""With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex.""It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."

More iGrafx Process360 Live Platform Cons →

"The application could be lighter or it could be faster with documents.""It's a very large install that uses many gigabytes.""It needs hyperlinked or narratives for page flows to make demos more effective.""It requires a lot of skill to get into it.""I think that it feels a bit outside with respect to the icons that are available.""When you use a BPA solution you can open an end-to-end process in one window, go down, or go up between layers to different places. You should be able to see descriptions of the steps of the process.""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 to the solution depends on the user.""The solution could improve by having more integration."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Visio has improved my workflow by making it easy to create charts, diagrams, and essential illustrations to use in my client reports and proposals. It has saved me a lot of time I would otherwise spend creating visuals for clients manually.” - Michael B., Principal Consultant at Lexington Consulting

    “I use it for diagramming networks, racks, data centers, data flow applications, etc. It is a useful tool to map data flows, network objects, and computer science technology and to show to clients. It does what I need it to do. It's a tool I've used the longest, so I know it the best, and that's probably the claim to fame.” - Greg S., Director of Solution Architecture at Winslow Technology Group

    “We use Visio for architecture modeling. We also use it to facilitate communication with other people. The feature I like most about Visio is that it acts as a facilitator of communication, as it displays information in a way that's easier to understand.” - Guy M., IT/Business Architect at a financial services firm
