I kept this product for more than 1 month in my cart and downloaded trial version to see if it can do the job. I wanted to use it for creating UML diagrams. It can do the job but it is not easy to do. UI is not informative and intuitive and you always fight placing connections between classes etc. Recently our company bought MagicDraw and installed on our office machines. I tried to create same diagram which I created in Visio (and SmartDraw too) in MagicDraw and was very impressed with its UI and correctness and ease of use. If you are really looking for UML, MagicDraw is the product.

Had major problems installing this product onto a Vista machine that already had Office2007 installed. Had to spend 2 hours with Microsoft to get it loaded. Then it wouldn’t accept my old files from previous Visio. Worked with Microsoft for 6 hours on this one. It turns out that Visio 2007 does NOT follow the file naming convention for Windows Files…….. Had to change the names of all my old files before it would accept.

The only reason I bought this version of Office was because others in our office were using it and 2003 isn’t fully compatible with 2007. If 2003 was still readily available and we could keep everyone on that I would. Otherwise, 2007 is fine – about what you would expect from Microsoft.
