"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"Simple to use and very intuitive."
"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."
"If you are a knowledgeable individual, the initial setup isn't too difficult."
"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."
"It should be easier to transition into a new version without having to spend so much time in just one area."
"The Auto-Align has improved significantly from the previous release; however, it still jumbles the model if your process diagram has a fair degree of complexity."

"The product only functions well professionally, with adding additional software for configuration."
"Occasionally, the automation feature that helps you easily add the "next step" goes crazy and it will move a bunch of stuff."
"Its integration with other vendors can be better and support for other formats. For example, when we import a JPEG, we cannot customize it. Similarly, we can't utilize the BPML kind of diagrams."
"I would like to see the project planning element improved, although it won't happen because Microsoft deliberately made it worse."
"The user interface could be more robust."
