In our line of work, illustration is one of the key that we have to use very often, either to present something to customer or to provide monthly report to department head. As a SOC engineer, we mostly work with alerts but at the end of the month we have to submit an analytical report to the team manager which finally goes to the customer. That's where Visio comes into play.

Very useful reporting tool with good set of features and easy to use interface. Report setup is straightforward and allows for user customizations to graph, charts and table driven data. Lacks the modern feel of the newer BI tools and capibilities to embed reports into your app. Integrates well with SQL server and its features but cannot integrate with cloud based databases.
