User Testimonials
	Google Charts
Likelihood to Recommend	Google We can easily recommend Google Charts to any company that needs a way to visually represent their data. Another great thing about Google Charts is that it is free to use and does not require any membership fees. Although it requires a skilled used to be able to use the charts, the results are great and can be beneficial to any company who is looking to make better decisions. DR Diego Reyes Practice Director Read full review
Pros	Google they're free with Google suite and they have backing in terms of powerful Google apps which can be plugged in to perform multiple actions like using Google sheets to import raw data into Google Charts they're the most simple app to use when it comes to creating charts and visual dashboards ease of customization ease of using custom APIs from developers side to help make any types of charts and dashboards you want Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Google 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. Incentivized Sarah Bandy Executive Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Google 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. Incentivized Daniel Ma Web Developer Read full review
Usability	Google Google Charts is about as easy to use as the rest of their applications. The UI is very well thought out, allowing you to add what you need, and customize it to your exact liking. The default theme is actually really nice, which helps as most of the time, customizing is not needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Google Google charts is always available and provides fast output. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	Google Connectivity is occasionally very slow. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Google As a free tool with massively powerful, infinitely customisable charts that can be dynamically updated - Google Charts is my favourite data visualisation tool. However, my hatred of JavaScript does jade my view on it. This is the price of the tool though, and I'm glad it's available for me. Incentivized Alexander Cooper RPA Developer Read full review
Online Training	Google The online training was solely done through self training on google's guide to charts. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Google Easy to implement Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Google 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 readers of websites with limited resources, the application shows up nicely is look and feel with charts. Great way of showing data visually.

Scalability	Google Google Charts is essential for quick, easy, reporting. There are opportunities for advanced features. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Google teams were easily able to create charts and find out progress on our learning courses and thus take actionable insights to their managers, professors students could also know their progress on various courses from one single view, same for instructors in terms of imparting education sales team could learn which kind of courses sold more to focus more on those areas Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
