Tableau something we use in previous with other clients. Heavy tool to use and customization is bit challenging. Also it's setup is bit complex when compare to Clear Analytics

In comparison to Microsoft Power BI, Google Charts has more ease of use for businesses who simply need a way to visually display their data from their reports. Although Power BI may be more robust in more complicated data compilation, Google Charts can still be able to do some …

As our company heavily utilizes Google products, when we first looked into the tool to help us to present our data, we were looking if we could find anything that is from Google and can satisfy our basic needs. Google Charts fit in it very well. That does not mean we are not …
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is free so it was a no brainer for our company to use. There may be other products out there that have more functionality or are easy, but they are not free.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is great because it is free. There are not really other options that are out there that offer as much as Google Charts does without the cost, so no other software really stacks up.
Chose Google Charts
I also would like to add Chart.js to the list, although it was not a searchable option. Google Charts is hard to beat, considering how effective it is, and that there's no need for an enterprise subscription. It's got basically any sort of chart or timeline or trend tracker you …
Chose Google Charts
Having used other powerful BI tools, Google is still not upto the mark. But it does a decent job for a free tool.
Chose Google Charts
We have not really tried any other software for this purpose other than Google Charts because it is free and has worked very well for us.
Chose Google Charts
It is a reliable tool and its free version definitely stacks up against a lot of other paid versions of other software. So if you are using anything else, it is definitely worth checking out Google Charts.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is one of the better software for data visualization because it is free. You can’t beat that!
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is better than any other alternative because it is free. It is a bit difficult to customize, so there may be better softwares out there depending on the complexity of what you are trying to do.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is one of the best tools out there because it integrates perfectly with Google Drive and Google Sheets, etc.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts does offer a lot of functionality and it is also free which is why it is a great choice for our team. We are always looking for free solutions that are out there.

Smartsheet integrates better with JIRA out of the box so we primarily use Smartsheet for visualisation of our Sprint breakdown. However, when reporting to higher-ups, we use Google Charts as the flexibility is far greater. We can better make visualisations that suite our …
Chose Google Charts
There are very many other softwares out there that are as intuitive as Google Charts and that is what makes it great.

Our teams were already using Google's G suite and as google charts simply came tagged along with it, they were more than happy to go with google charts given its capabilities. Though we have another BI solution in place but teams mostly work with google charts and export their …
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts stacks up better since it is free and does not have the constant pressure for cost overruns, add-ons, annual maintenance and implementation services. The speed of using Google Charts is quick, saving users potentially weeks in getting up and going. For the …
Chose Google Charts
Chart.js is another javascript alternative to Google Charts. It outputs charts in Canvas elements rather than SVG, so it's a bit easier to manipulate and make responsive.
Chose Google Charts
For both the tools you need a good programming knowledge but this is not the case with Google Charts.
Chose Google Charts
I honestly have no used others. This was my first in my field. But I can say it's been a joy to work with and I don't see myself or my organization using any other platform or program.
Chose Google Charts
Went with Google Charts directly. Integrates with other Google apps that we use seamlessly.
Chose Google Charts
We selected Google Charts because it is a free tool and is a part of the GSuite.
Chose Google Charts
We have not really used any other products, but we do not really need a reason to because this one has worked so well for us.
Chose Google Charts
I've used D3.js and Google Charts, in my opinion, is easier to use and more accessible. But D3.js is much more visually flexible and has a lot of different use cases if we compare it to this service. So I think Google Charts is suitable for dashboards and applications that …

I have not used many other software similar to Google Charts because a lot of the software I have used in the past has integrated reporting available to the customer. However, for instances where our software reporting is not accurate, we are able to use this online source to …

I definitely prefer Google Charts over Piktochart chart because of the way that it integrates with Google Sheets, Google Drive, and Google Docs. The entire G Suite is completely crucial to our operation and having an outside chart program doesn't streamline or make data …

Clear Analytics has almost all the features which are mostly required by the organizations for their data analytics and transformation activities. Clear Analytics is built on the support of a parallel query engine which makes it handle large volume requests and also provides optimized results. However, every solution has some limitations, Clear Analytics lacks advanced features such as Predictive Analytics which is a very demanding feature in the market as most organizations are adopting AI/ML automation for their businesses. Also, it needs to add a lot of advanced visualizations so that the user has the choice of selection. Overall a good solution to be recommended.

Google Charts is perfectly suited for most presentations that are data oriented. There's not much of a limit on the type of table or chart you can create, and being able to integrate with Google Sheets just makes things even easier if you've already got the data stored somewhere. It works well on desktop browsers, Iphones, and Android phones. The only drawback I've been able to find is for those that prefer to have a desktop application.

Cons
  • For Charts and Graphs , getting the Power Point Deck would be helpful. As of now we use the data from Excel Reports

  • I would like a couple more introductory videos or a live chat option for when you run into an issue. I think this is a Google-wide problem, not only linked to Google Charts.
  • I have run into some issues with the Dynamic Data but also admittedly could potentially dive in deeper and investigate.
  • It would be great if Google Charts made it possible to integrate Google Chat into the platform.

Google Charts is a good product. It's widely supported with deep documentation and a large community. But for me, it wasn't customizable enough. When we started with simple charts, it was great, but as we got deeper and more complex, our needs outgrew the library. If I was going forward, I would choose a more barebones library with more freedom and extensibility.

Usability
I have really enjoyed working with Clear Analytics. This platform has contributed to increased production and reliable data control processes. It has flexible user interface that can be operated by any organization member. Reports are shared on simple and transparent way in the dashboard for easy access. Data analytics from all departments have created manageable working environment that have increased production.

Requires knowledge of Javascript, which can be difficult for a beginner. A business analyst often isn't as technically minded as a developer so collaboration is often required to produce a correct chart for the purpose required. However, the customisation capable due to this creates much better looking charts compared to other tools.

Clear Analytics has very good team members in Consulting as well as in Customer Support. The support agents are capable of providing the required resolution of your queries in a timeline provides. They have a clear understanding of the product and its features, and they are friendly in nature. However, for some advanced or level 2/3-based queries, they required some more time to respond, which is ok.

Google Charts has a very good documentation that we can just go in there and find the stuff we need to implement our solutions on Google Charts. Plus, if we get stuck, we can also email the support and they are very responsive. So overall, the support is very satisfying.
