Why Choose BIC Platform Over MS Visio?

BIC Platform

Microsoft Visio
Implementation & configuration

Powerful off-the-shelf solution with flexible self-service configuration – no heavy customization required.
Implementation & configuration

Basic setup is easy, but configuration, reporting, and data enrichment are limited.
Onboarding & training

Guided onboarding plus 24/7 access to an eLearning academy with on-demand training, live sessions, and certifications ensure rapid team enablement.
Onboarding & training

Minimal training needed due to limited functionality; focus is primarily on drawing flowcharts.
Ease of use

Exceptional usability with a unified interface designed for all users across desktop and mobile. Clean navigation and intuitive tools accelerate process design.
Ease of use

Clunky and time-consuming to use. Finding templates and symbols is tedious, slowing down process creation.
Integration capabilities

Pre-built connectors for Microsoft and ERP applications (SAP, IFS, Oracle, etc.), plus open REST API for seamless custom integrations.
Integration capabilities

Mainly integrates within the Microsoft ecosystem; lacks support for broader system connectivity.
Process mapping capabilities

Advanced BPM features support the entire process lifecycle – from mapping and publishing to collaboration, versioning, and variant management.
Process mapping capabilities

Focuses on basic flowcharting with limited process design, reporting, and lifecycle control.
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM)

The only BPM solution with fully integrated, advanced EAM – aligning IT and process strategy in one platform.
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM)

Lacks EAM functionality, specialized diagram formats, and architecture-level analytics.
Automation & compliance

Seamlessly integrates automation and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) features, ensuring operational efficiency and regulatory alignment within a single platform.
Automation & compliance

Connects with MS Power Automate but requires double maintenance, as process changes must be updated separately in both systems.
Return on Investment

Delivers high ROI through competitive SaaS pricing, fast deployment, and low onboarding costs.
Return on Investment

Easy to buy and install, but low process efficiency results in poor ROI.

Are You Familiar With These Limitations of MS Visio?

Not great. Support and training is also a bit questionable.

Visio is lagging behind competitors in terms of collaboration, publishing and integrating.

Solution Architect

It has a complex user interface for beginners.

Research Analyst

It does not provide collaborative features …

User in Health Care

The application runs a bit slow and tends to take up a lot of resources.

Cloud Support Engineer

Reporting ability is really poor. For example whenever we try to report RACI it gives us a different report, it doesnt show what we have written on the processes.

… lack of customization support throughout the system, no strong user community for the same reason.

I find it laggy and slow when working with complex diagrams which can lead to less efficient work and reduced output.

Research Analyst

One thing I dont like about Visio is the difficulty in integrating with non Microsoft Tools.

Audit Manager

It is not available as a web app at the moment - which limits its use for online / digital based teams.

Risk Manager

Not great. Support and training is also a bit questionable.
