I have used visualization generation tools but have found them of limited utility to me. When the generator is built into an IDE, the artifact it generates is less useful than the IDE itself, which typically provides a structural (symbol tree) view of the code as well as symbolic navigation ("Go to definition/references").
A visualization can be helpful as an artifact for non-technical colleagues, but I always end up hand-rolling those diagrams to highlight a specific aspect of the system and hide irrelevant features.
