Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed to build a dashboard for a local university, displaying complex data in a compelling and easy to understand way.

We were asked to display different aggregated data sets, with the possibility of customizing the display based on conditions, roles, and user preferences. We also needed to display different time-scale data, sometimes in the same dashboard.

Pros

Display multiple datasets in a single chart
Chart customization
Unified data schema
Simple and complete documentation with plenty of examples

Cons

More charts variety
Easier styling of data sets/points

Likelihood to Recommend

I found Google Charts to be a complete library, useful for both simple and complex cases. As I previously said, I had to implement a large dashboard where Google Charts has proven to be very performant and recommended for such cases, but I also used it to display a basic, standalone chart, and also for this much simpler case Google Charts was the best option.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When we are in need of generating reports or doing team collaboration, we need to have a tool that can enable us to turn data into visuals very quickly. We tried different tools and found Google Charts can enable us to accomplish what we needed. So, we stick to Google Charts since then.

Pros

It is free.
Cross platform, browser support.
A lot of choices regarding charts.

Cons

It can take a longer learning curve.
I have to make sure I am online all the time.
Customization can improve more.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need a tool to help you generate different kinds of charts based on your data, and if you know a little bit about JavaScript programming, and if you are able to stay online all the time, then try Google charts. Though the learning curve can take longer, overall, it is a great choice.

Google Charts for all your graph and charting needs

May 11, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Charts is being used on a team by team basis here where I work. It was selected because Google integration is very straight forward and comprehensive. The business problem that it addresses is creating easy to use and easy to read charts for different data sets during internal presentations.

Pros

Timelines
Data tables and charts that are highly customizable
Integration with Google Sheets

Cons

Some companies require Microsoft applications vs Google
No desktop application, browser only

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Charts being a free tool for a reporting dashboard, it does a very good job. It offers interactive dashboards. Even though adding a data source is not that straightforward, it offers different data sources to be added, and also dynamically they can be sourced. Different chart types are also available to be used.

Pros

Interactive dashboards with real-time data
Multiple data sources can be added
Dynamic data loading into the charts

Cons

Loading data source is not straight forward, can be simplified
Rich and complex analytics is not supported

Likelihood to Recommend

<ul><li>Scenarios where Google Charts are well suited - Complex analytical reports are not needed, data source doesn't keep changing, and integration with data source already exists.</li><li> Scenarios where Google Charts are less appropriate - Complex analytics and reporting is needed. Data is highly scaled and changes very frequently. Lot of sorting and filtering is needed. </li></ul>
