Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Camunda, Sparx Systems and others in Business Process Design."Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"Process modeling is a good feature."
"Visio is a very easy tool in general, making it easy for anyone to understand."
"The solution makes it very easy to make exciting pictures and designs. Everything is very intuitive and simple to figure out."
"It is a standard and easy-to-use solution from Microsoft, and you benefit from the general functions of Microsoft solutions. It integrates easily with SharePoint, which is a useful tool from Microsoft."
"The interface of the solution is very good. It's easy to navigate."
"It's a very flexible solution."
"If you are a knowledgeable individual, the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"We can easily add templates to SharePoint for collaboration."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
"They could improve the drawing function, other solutions provide easier drawing capabilities."
"It is a visualization tool, so database visualization is pretty static in it. They haven't moved the ERDs very well. They haven't adopted any real visualization like what you have in Hackolade for JSON or other data patterns. It has none of that. If you go onto broader patterns, you can actually label and integrate with a data set, if you want, for Visio, but it's very clunky and very difficult for me to assign that to another user. I can't assign it to a junior or a documenter. They really haven't cleaned up and made their tools simpler to use when linking to data, which is primarily what you're trying to do."
"The price could be lower because it is too expensive in South America when paying in dollars or euros."
"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."
"In terms of features, it could provide more automation to display data flowing through architecture."
"There are too many features."
"The export and import functionality from Visio to other tools and the import and export functionality from other tools to Visio are areas with shortcomings."
"Extremely large complex drawings need to be saved on the cloud for access."
