What is Microsoft Visio?
Microsoft Visio is professional diagramming and visualisation software. It is used to present information graphically and to illustrate relationships in a clear and understandable way. Typical applications include flowcharts, organisation charts, process diagrams, network diagrams, UML diagrams, BPMN models, floor plans, workflows, technical schematics and many other types of diagrams.
Visio is particularly useful when information needs not only to be gathered but also communicated in a structured way. A well-structured diagram immediately shows how a process works, which departments are involved, how a network is set up, or where there is potential for optimisation.
Who is Microsoft Visio suitable for?
Microsoft Visio is suitable for many user groups:
- Companies wishing to visualise processes, departments and responsibilities
- IT departments that need to document networks, systems and infrastructure
- Project managers who wish to illustrate procedures, milestones and workflows
- Process managers who analyse and optimise business processes
- Software developers who create UML diagrams and technical models
- HR departments that maintain organisation charts and corporate structures
- Technical users who require floor plans, diagrams or schematic representations
- Freelancers and consultants who create professional visualisations for client projects
This makes Microsoft Visio much more than just a simple drawing programme. It is a specialised tool for anyone who wants to present complex content in a clear, neat and professional manner.
Should you buy a Microsoft Visio Standard or Professional licence?
If you’re looking to buy a Microsoft Visio licence, choosing the right edition is particularly important. Generally speaking, depending on the version, you can choose between Visio Standard and Visio Professional. Both editions are suitable for professional diagrams, but differ in their range of features.
Microsoft Visio Standard – ideal for traditional diagrams
Microsoft Visio Standard is the right choice if you mainly want to create traditional diagrams. These include, for example, flowcharts, simple process diagrams, organisation charts, floor plans, block diagrams and general business visualisations.
This edition is particularly suitable for users who need powerful yet straightforward diagramming software. If you intend to use Visio mainly for internal workflows, simple structures, presentations or organisational diagrams, Visio Standard is often a suitable and cost-effective solution.
Microsoft Visio Professional – for sophisticated diagrams and business processes
Microsoft Visio Professional is aimed at users with more advanced requirements. This edition is particularly of interest to businesses, IT departments, technical teams, process managers and professional users who wish to create more complex diagrams or work with standards such as BPMN and UML.
Depending on the version, Visio Professional offers advanced templates, additional shapes, professional diagram types and features for data-driven visualisations. This makes this edition ideal for sophisticated process modelling, technical documentation, IT infrastructure planning and data-linked diagrams.

Should you buy Microsoft Visio 2024, 2021 or 2019?
At LizenzDeals24, you can buy different versions of Visio. Which version is best for you depends on the features you need, how up-to-date your software environment is, and whether you’re particularly price-conscious.
Microsoft Visio 2024 – the latest choice for modern diagrams
Microsoft Visio 2024 is the right choice if you’re looking for the latest version of Visio with modern templates, updated shapes and a contemporary user interface. Visio Professional 2024 also includes new Azure templates as well as additional networking and software resources.
Visio 2024 is particularly suitable for users who wish to work with an up-to-date version in the long term. If you’re buying a new Visio licence today and value modern features, up-to-date content and a contemporary working environment, Visio 2024 is usually the obvious choice.
Microsoft Visio 2021 – tried-and-tested diagramming software for professional users
Microsoft Visio 2021 is a tried-and-tested version for users who wish to create professional diagrams and do not necessarily require the very latest edition. It is suitable for many typical applications such as process diagrams, organisation charts, network plans and technical visualisations.
Visio 2021 may be of particular interest if you are looking for a stable and well-established version that integrates well with existing software environments. For many businesses and home users, this version offers an excellent balance of feature set, familiarity and price.
Microsoft Visio 2019 – a budget-friendly alternative
Microsoft Visio 2019 is suitable for users looking for an older, yet still powerful, version of Visio. If you do not require the latest features and, above all, wish to create classic diagrams, flowcharts or organisation charts, Visio 2019 can be an attractive alternative.
Visio 2019 can be a sensible choice, particularly for price-conscious buyers, provided that the existing IT environment is compatible and the required diagramming functions are covered.
Buy Microsoft Visio as a perpetual licence – without a subscription
Many users are specifically looking for a Microsoft Visio perpetual licence because they wish to use the software in the long term. The advantage is clear: you purchase the appropriate version of Visio once and can then use it indefinitely, subject to the relevant licence terms. This is particularly attractive for businesses, the self-employed and home users who prefer predictable costs and do not want ongoing monthly software expenses. Instead of a subscription model, you receive a traditional software licence that allows you to install and activate Visio on your Windows system.
At LizenzDeals24, you benefit from digital provision. After purchase, you’ll receive your Visio licence conveniently by email and can quickly begin the installation and activation process. This means you won’t waste any time and can start creating your diagrams, processes or technical plans straight away.
What can I use Microsoft Visio for?
Microsoft Visio is highly versatile and supports numerous professional use cases. The software is particularly often used to visualise workflows, technical systems and organisational structures.
Creating flowcharts and process diagrams
With Visio, you can create clear flowcharts that illustrate processes step by step. This helps to document workflows, identify weaknesses and clearly define responsibilities. In businesses in particular, such process diagrams form an important basis for training, quality management, audits and process optimisation.
Displaying organisation charts and corporate structures
Organisational charts show how a company, a department or a project team is structured. With Microsoft Visio, you can visualise hierarchies, areas of responsibility and communication channels in a structured and professional manner. This is particularly helpful for HR departments, senior management, team leaders and internal documentation.
Planning network diagrams and IT infrastructures
For IT teams, Visio is a powerful tool for visualising networks, server structures, cloud architectures and technical dependencies. Using network diagrams, you can document existing systems, plan expansions or explain complex infrastructures in a way that is easy to understand for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Creating UML, BPMN and technical diagrams
Visio Professional is particularly useful when modelling business processes or software architectures. BPMN diagrams help to map business processes in a standardised way. UML diagrams support software development, system architecture and technical design. Microsoft explicitly states that Visio Professional 2024 supports BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.5.
Visualising floor plans, room layouts and workflows
Microsoft Visio can also be used for room planning, office organisation and simple floor plans. Furthermore, the software is suitable for workflows, swimlane diagrams, matrix representations, timelines and other visualisations that allow information to be clearly structured.
