Microsoft Visio on a Mac?

[James J]

Hi all, I'm trying to find a Microsoft Visio alternative on the Mac so I can switch my work laptop over to my MBP as I much prefer the OS and keyboard/touchpad arrangement for my working needs. Visio is the problem and I don't particularly want to go dual boot for one single program. Any alternatives or am I forced into dual boot?

Thanks,

I need the ability to draw floor plans, network layouts and then a completely customisable flow approach for a more visual SOP replacement.

I've seen Lucidchart and smart draw for paid alternatives so far but not seen a great review on either sadly. Might have to go down the VM route but its not what I wanted to do either to be fair.

Yeah its looking like parallels might be the best option as the other options all seem to incur a monthly cost whilst I already own Visio, I simply want to use it on my Mac lol.
