What Visio Plan 2 Does
Visio Plan 2 offers a complete diagramming solution. It combines the full desktop Visio application with web access, allowing users to create, view, and edit diagrams across devices. A key differentiator from Visio Plan 1 is the inclusion of the Visio Data Visualizer, enabling users to transform Excel data into dynamic, visual representations. This functionality is valuable for process mapping, network documentation, and other data-driven diagramming tasks. The integration with Microsoft Teams facilitates collaboration and diagram sharing.

For AU mid-market organisations, Visio Plan 2 is often the preferred choice when desktop Visio is actively used, particularly where integration with Active Directory or Azure shape libraries is required. Many organisations are evaluating alternatives like Lucidchart, Miro, and draw.io, considering factors such as cost, collaboration features, and integration with existing workflows. Compliance considerations, such as those outlined in APRA CPS 234 regarding third-party risk management, should be factored into any software selection, including diagramming tools. The OAIC’s Privacy Act 2024 also highlights the need to protect sensitive data, which may be represented in diagrams.
