ARIS is a modelling tool - Visio a drawing tool

ARIS has a atabase structure - Visio is a file system

ARIS is method based - visio has no method

ARIS can run analysis - visio not

ARIS reporting over different models - Visio no real reporting

ARIS has multi user support - visio is one user

ARIS autorisation concept - Visio not (except in the windows explorer)

ARIS can have filters which can hide certain information based on one model via authorisation

ARIS can be integrated with the solution manager - visio (and all other modeling tools can not).

these are some differences between ARIS and Visio. Hope this helpes you.

Thank you Cristobal.

The link that you advised was very useful. It is very much evident that ARIS is much more superior to VISIO. But, i need some differentiating points between the two. Iam looking at atleast 10 differentiating points.
