Visio worked great but I don't know better
Comments: Overall Visio was great to use. It was very intuitive and I would be happy to use it again.

Visio being a Microsoft program seems a tiny bit behind the rest of the industry in terms of innovations. It's rock solid but not cutting edge.

Great, but Patience Required
Comments: Pretty great! I do wish I didn't struggle as much with the lag though.
Pros:
The icons were really great! They were split into clear and easy to understand categories. The ability to remove and add the visibility of the categories, made it a lot easier to stay focused on what I'm trying to do.
Cons:
It was pretty laggy and slow, I think it may be because it's an older application, but much like Sway there were times it was being difficult.

Pros:
This is a really great program to create flow charts and great visual representations of processes that you might be using at your workplace or within your organization.
Cons:
It is a little hard to use at times but overall with time it becomes a lot easier.

Visio for designing diagrams
Comments: Overall Visio is a great tool for beginners and students to generate schematics and block diagrams nicely.
Pros:
Visio is a great tool to generate block diagram, flow charts and schematics. I have also used Visio to design System Architectures. the three features of shapes, connectors and text makes this software quite important to design from basic to completed diagrams.
Cons:
There are little to no debugging and checking tools available which can debug or find errors in the connection being made. This is very Visio should have developed some additional tools which could identify any gaps or missing connections. Moreover in terms of designing architectures, Visio lacks some features which could help the user in system-level architectural modelling.

Lack of variety in available shapes and connectors. Whilst this does keep a consistency between graphics created by different users, I find it limiting.

An efficient tool for diagrams
Comments: I use Visio often when looking to communicate a technical process with non-technical co-workers or clients. Sometimes it's difficult to fit everything into a PowerPoint slide, so I rely on Visio when needing to create something much more detailed. Visio is also easier to create flows than you can with objects on PowerPoint.
Pros:
Visio is a great tool for creating diagrams and other types of visuals to communicate technical processes in ways that other Microsoft products like Word and PowerPoint can't quite offer.
Cons:
The number of features can be overwhelming, I recommend consulting professionals or online tutorials to get a complete understanding of the possibilities.
