DEON vs. Microsoft Visio

Best Suited Scenario: When you play multiple roles and a certain set of information/ files in one place in an organized fashion. Example 1: You are into sales and need specific documents at during a presentation to your client, this is when DEON comes in handy. You can have all your files arranged in one place. Example 2: You are doing a review where lots of presentations and files are needed to be shown this is where you can use DEON. I don't see any scenario where DEON would not be suitable.

I believe any company or individual that is looking to get a process map visualized; would be a great tool. The tool is a great way to get complex ideas onto “paper” for all to see. Visio can be harder to use if you have an idea that is going in many different directions. If all ideas can fit on one page, this is the tool to use to visualize it all.

• Ability to switch easily between different "rooms" during breakout sessions.
• Template sharing.
• Embedded links to ensure most up to date files are being viewed.

• The templates for basic flowcharting are simple to use and cover most of the basic functions and touch points in a diagram.
• The variety of included icons and connectors means it's very easy to create floor plans and/or network diagrams.
• The ease at which you can customise connectors with different colours/thickness makes it very effective in overall presentation of a diagram.

• O Usage of a different logic of navigating compared to MS Office products. For me it's possible to switch, but for customers, who are not using DEON so often, it's difficult.
• Deon don´t support file with Macros

Incentivized

• Its inability to delve deeply into micro information successfully.
• It is a paid software which comes after paying a Microsoft licensing fee.
• The cost is high and the integration of the stencil library is unnecessarily fragmented.
• The more you use it, the faster and more effective you will get.

Totally suitable for complex work assignment accross the stream with remote expertise work

We use Microsoft Visio to keep our diagrams updated and to that end we will need the subscription to keep using the software. Otherwise we will be left with PDF versions of the diagrams.

It depends but for freshee it is complex

I think Microsoft Visio is pretty easy to initially pick up and understand the user interface to dive into make basic models. It would be nice if there were some fit for purpose templates so that not as much time needs to be spent on some types of engineering diagram structure. Trying to work on a single Visio file with multiple team members is also a sticking point.

Quite passive and readily available link for solution does not exist

Overall, I feel that Microsoft's support is weak. They are now such a behemoth that their model of putting documentation online for their users to sift through is totally outgrown. Given the amount of money you pay for these licenses, Microsoft should provide easy one-on-one support for their products via email or chat. The idea of paying their rates for support incidents is ridiculous. If you have an enormous amount of time on your hands, use their support websites and you will eventually find a solution most of the time.

Not satisfactory

Quite challenging

why do I use Deon? Strong data integration static formats like multi-page document scans. It does so much more than just be a digital whiteboard - you can embed websites very quickly and easily with Cloud integration so that changes are always directly synchronized Easy sharing of possible Parallel real-time work, documents, etc.

I have personally never used or evaluated other programs similar to Microsoft Visio. I started using it following an indication from a colleague who told me that our University distributes it free of charge to its users. Since I first used it (more or less three years ago), I have never left Microsoft Visio. Excellent!

• It has helped me organize my documents and files in a purposeful and sequential way.
• DEON Saves a lot of time and makes everything very visually organized.
• It is more of an management tool, which affects your ROI in terms of your performance and efficiency.

• Greatly enhanced time to create share and finalize documentation.
• Better collaboration between disparate teams, such as marketing opts and sales ops.
• Transparency/visibility into standardize, workflows and processes have led to better team, relationships, and better results that translate directly to the bottom line and ROI.
