From data to charts in seconds!
We have used it to do the reporting between the IT department and the sales department. We used it to give in a visual way the number of effectiveness of our tool and to plot the data that we had according to number of users, type of subscription, MRR and other data that we wanted to share and that was easier to show with charts.
- It is really easy to select the data
- You can choose among different types of charts
- The design is really user friendly
- Sometimes is difficult to re-scale the charts
- It does not have to option of exporting in PNG (or I was not able to find it)

Charting your data is easy with Google Charts
We used Drupal CMS for some of our sites and needed a way to display the survey results on one site in chart format. There was already a module that displayed the results using Google Charts somewhat, but needed modifying. I took the module, modified it to better use the charts and then was able to have it released back on Drupal.org for the community.
- It allows for a variety of charts styles.
- Its API is very user-friendly so that you can use a variety of programming languages to interact with it.
- It interacts well with Google's other APIs so that you can use maps or some other API to create the charts you need.
- It could use some better customizability of the charts.
- Better readability of the the items of the charts.

We are using Google Charts to create visualizations from data in Google Analytics we can display sales, inventory, and ROI metrics through various charts and tables. We use these charts to help clients deciper site traffic and its impact on sales. Its versatile, and we can use for almost everything.
- Clean, organized dashboard that makes creating customized charts painless and easy.
- Easy to connect with a variety of other Google services like maps and analytics.
- Variety of options in charts so no limitations.
- Horizontal and veritical alignment is only offered specifically on the graph as a whole. I wish it were available only for specific data sets.
- Chart loading time occasionally lags.

Charts for every use!
We are using it for an internal dashboard product. We display sales, inventory, profit & loss labor management data using various charts and tables. Development is very rapid, and virtually no training is necessary for our dashboard - these are the problems that were solved.
- Very quick to develop charts and graphs. Jquery, javascript, AJAX all of it works.
- Sortable tables, again, very easy to develop
- Can handle a ton of data - I've brought in every item for at an entire store sorted by department and section into a tree map - works great.
- It's impossible to freeze a column in a table. You can freeze the header titles, but not the leftmost column. If you have a very wide table, this is a problem.
- You cannot put NA in a cell if it's a number - this is a big problem that I had to solve with CSS by making a certain range of numbers have the same cell background and font so that it would appear blank. This is not a great solution, but it's more accurate than a zero
- Cells cannot be sized as small as I would like - the minimum is something like 26px wide and 20px tall. I can't imagine why this is.

Charting Google's Way
I used Google Charts to display data from Google Analytics. Our core service was providing personalized insights for web properties. Google Charts was a central piece of puzzle in building our product. It allowed us to help customers understand their web traffic in intuitive ways. We used it for everything from simple pie charts, to large tables.
- It draws charts without bugs. I didn't run into a single one during my two years of working with it. This is a big advantage of using something that helps power a core Google service.
- It has extensive documentation. Lots of options, lots of examples, lots of explanations. You'll never need to go digging through the source code trying to figure out how to do something.
- It has a very predictable API. Once you learn to use it for one chart type, it's easy to begin building other charts.
- It throws helpful errors. When something goes wrong, it's not difficult to figure out why.
- It's not an extensible library. If you want to do something that isn't covered by it's feature set, there are no hooks to implement it yourself. If you're looking to choose it for a project, make sure it covers all your edge cases for visualization needs.
- There are very limited options for visual styling. You get what they give you.
- Tooltips are extremely limited. You can't add custom HTML. Plain text is all you get.
- It doesn't have great support for dynamically updating charts. In our cases, when we wanted to update data, we removed the chart from the page and rebuilt it for updates

Google Charts a graphical web
Hi, I am Tauseef Jamadar a Software Developer. I have used multiple modules of Google charts in my organization as well as in my personal projects. They are very useful to graphically represent any statistical data. It helps me make smart decisions based on the data collected. I use it on any project that needs graphical representation.
- Easy to initialize the graphs.
- Easy to display graph from a spreadsheet
- Easy to add animations
- animation:{
- duration: 1000,
- easing: 'out'
- Making the library a light weight library just for charts.
- Access to more types of charts.
- Better error handling.

I used google's organization chart for the director level department as well as for a few reports that span departments.
- The charts are very intuitive and easy to integrate into various different technologies.
- The API is customizable to meet most needs.
- OrgChart does not directly work well with large volumes of data. New users would find it hard to fit the data in the webpage when they build.
- The option to choose between horizontal and vertical alignment should be provided at all levels in the chart and not just the chart as a whole.

Google charts are being used to visually analyze the data for distributed computing programs. E.g. the number of actors in the actor model, and the messages being passed by each.
It is being used by a department. It enables to visually analyze the data.

We used Google Charts in a class project to develop an interactive visualization in an effort to support the sustainable development.
- Good if you want to start fast.
- Support quite a variety of customization.
- Easy to connect with other Google services, like Google Maps.
- Does not support low-level customization. If you want to do this, you need to use D3, or other low-level visualization tools.
- The default color is not so great, but you can always customize it in the code.
