It's quite easy to use, have good features and it's easy to install. I recommend checking it for mind mapping - better then paper.

Price and forced upgrade expenses if you want them. It's understandable to have paid upgrades every now and then.

Easy to use and great for brain storming. Great software and lots of customisation like the ability to add pictures and icons to maps.

Excellent Brainstorming tool and Mind Manager is the easiest to use and most powerful tool yet.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you that every big project in our organization starts as a mind map, and Mind Manager works best for us.

It was the whiteboard to our business plan when we started our comapny and had a great friend to map out what was in my mind inorder to visualize my growth strategy.

It's market positioning makes it one of the more expensive Mind Mapping tools on the market but its rich feature set and ease of use makes up for the premium pricing.

The user interface of MindManager is very clear and works well across a number of different devices. You can easily expand and hide sub-maps if yours becomes incredibly large and complex.

I have heard that some people have a hard time moving branches where they want them because of the snap-to feature, but it has never really been much of a problem for me.

Ease of use  and high resolution of text, excellent integration with MS Office apps, Zappier integration possibilities, built in browser pane for fast context based research.

The ability to branch out from a single thought in as many directions as I want to go helps me to think about the topic rather than making an orderly list.

I found it difficult to use when linking to databases.

MindManager is easy to use because the interface is like to Microsoft products. It is great for project planning and brainstorming.

Really good and easy to use to get my ideas out.

If I have an idea, it has a function or feature to help me realize that idea. From kanban boards to integrating with Kira (through a third party integration tool).

The relationship between value and price speak of it.

It reforms my dispersed thoughts and ideas into visual maps and diagrams. It has been of great use for achieving my personal and organizational success.

While we can do it manually, after we are using MindManager, I found that our brainstorming sessions have become more focused.

I used it to make diagrams for my research and I was quite happy with the dedicated features to create diagrams of your choice with ease.

How easy is to made a flow chart or a diagram in a modern way. Is really easy to use and have a good integration with other programs.

I have used this software almost 6 years and found very useful in drafting/drawing anything you would like to. It is super easy to use and the features and tools are exceptional.

My overall experience with Visio was fantastic and I would recommend it to other professionals.

If you want to impress management with your ideas mapped out in a visio workflow use this tool. It impresses every time.

I always struggle with arrows connecting two shapes. It is unpredictable where the arrow snaps to as is can be random at times which makes it difficult to snap in the exact place you need it to.

Viso helps create powerful and clean visualizations. Visio pricing starts at $5.00 per month, per user, and there is also a free trial.

This also demonstrates the seamless integration that Visio has with other Microsoft software which is a huge advantage.

Visio is the perfect tool for you to create flowcharts. It is easy tonuse, intuitive and works perfectly integrated to the Ms Office package.

Good product but the customer service.could be friendlier.

I was unable to move parts of the flow diagram without distorting the entire diagram. I was able to learn with few trials and errors.

I hate how it is so hard to move thing around, resize thing and overall the manipulation of the software.

Price point for a near full drafting like program is nice. Has tons of features that are very competitive to other similar products.

I like the integration with Office 365, this is an obvious advantage if you're already into the Microsoft's ecosystem.

I am usually not very good with these type of programs, but I find Microsoft vision very easy and intuitive to use. It is very helpful in creating flowchart and layouts very quickly.

The ability to import DWG files is one of the great advantages of this software for professionals. In view of its great features I never chose to use another similar program.

I like most of the features that Visio offers. I do think that more can be added and help the users navigate better.

In terms of features, this is the best software for flowcharting you can have. The software is great for complex flows.

I am happy with overall performance with Visio as it allows and help me to have best prepare best presentation for senior management meetings.

The only downside (and really a struggle to pick one) would be the initial cost.

The software has many characteristics that allow you to fulfill whatever task you have and it can be very helpful for you.

It is really user friendly. It looks great, people can work on processes improvement and implementation, and change things as many times as it is needed.

Made use of this tool in school and through the first half of my career - love a good org chart or mind map and being able to create interesting images.

Never had to go thru any customer service issues either bc I’ve never had a problem with visio.

It is a great and easy to use software for diagram and flowchart creation. However, it can be pricey.

Its a great tool and the quality is fantastic. The later versions are much better than older versions.

Excellent tool, very easy to use and design comes out very organized and beautiful.

Best in class a brilliant tool with top notch functionality. If you're willing to pay for this tool and learn how to use it you'll get on fine.

The only bad thing I have been seen in this software which is file size limit , if it exceed limit it will reject and you will work from scratch a.

Easy for beginner, clean and nice drawing, flow diagram is nice, intergrated with MS WORDS software and the suite.

Further improvements should be made visually. Other than that, there is no other negative aspect about program.

Has many stencils for networking, it has a strong developers user community.

Best flowchart management by miles away. It has been used by the organisation for years and never fails to amaze with extremely good performance and incredible customer service.
