Google Charts are used by the Project Teams in the Research and Development Department, as we use them in giving sprint charts like Burn Down Chart, Team Velocity Chart, etc. These Charts help us monitor the Team's Performance during the Sprint, also we use them to present our status and progress during the Project's Committee Meetings.
  • Ease of use
  • Free to use without cost
  • Integrated with GSuite Products
  • Need to have prior JavaScript knowledge
  • There is No Offline Option
  • Customization can be difficult
Google Charts is very useful for doing quick charts and visualizations to be used in presentations, also it would be a very good option for organizations that need a free solution.

I actually used it for my volunteer work at a non-profit organization to keep track of all the budget allocations and money spent. As it was a free tool, it was helpful for a non-profit organization like ours. It was simple to use, so easy for transition as well when the executive team changed after every 2 years.
  • Pie charts for allocation of budget
  • Representation of costs
  • Donation breakouts
  • Edits by multiple users
  • Share ability across the platforms
  • User guides / videos
It is simple to use. It is very free, so we used it at a non profit organization. Easy transition to the next executive Committee. However shareability across Microsoft platforms has scope for improvement. Different types of charts can be conveniently used to represent different types of data that’s used in an organization.

It's great because my work email and use of this application are all linked together into one system. Creating something that is elegant and visually easy to read is a breeze. I use Google Chart to demonstrate analytics for traffic on our website and the use of Google Chart Tools made it possible.
  • It's free!
  • Cross-platform availability and highly configurable.
  • Requires a continuous network connection to use.
  • Not as detailed as other tools, such as Tableau.
It is appropriate when making charts. Adding in data to charts is easy to do. Also, these charts are easily integrated with HTML so that it is easy to configure with a website. Not appropriate for those who are not comfortable with basic scripting. Not as intuitive for mapping trends within a certain industry.

Google charts is used by our office primarily to visually display budget and collection percentage information. Our collector keeps a nearly constant record of our collection percentage. Using Google Charts makes it easier to visually display those numbers for the rest of the office, the Commisioners, etc to see without having to read a whole written report.
  • Google charts is highly customizable. You can choose your colors, lines, overlays, points, font, and so many other features. There is also the option to insert events and animation into your chart.
  • Google Charts is easy to use. You choose your customizable settings, enter your data, and a chart a created for you.
  • Charts or graphs made using Google Charts can be embedded into or onto webpages, printed, or shared through email, etc.
  • Google Charts is FREE to use!
  • Google Charts can be used on nearly any platform or device and is all cloud based.
  • There are so many chart types to choose from (pie charts, timelines, bar chart, scatter chart, line chart, geo chart, table chart, and so many more).
  • Google Charts has the ability to use data from multiple sources such as Google sheets, Microsoft Excel, and Fusion tables.
  • Google Charts does require a network connection for all of it's functions to work properly.
Google Charts is a wonderful tool for anyone who needs to display numbers on a visual diagram or chart of some sort. Google Charts makes it easier to present numbers in an easy to read, professional manner.

Google Visualization API was used in my last company as a reporting tool that allowed us to create charts and reporting applications over structured data. This helped integrate visual data directly into 'behind the scenes' web pages.
  • Very easy to learn and interactive.
  • Works well on all modern browsers.
  • It's free and includes maps.
  • Can read from Excel, Google Spreadsheets, SQL databases, CSV files and auto update.
  • Doesn't yet give as much customization ability as some other packages.
  • Doesn't give you sophisticated statistical processing.
  • Requires a network connection
Google Charts was able to do everything that I needed it to. I was creating simple reports that needed to automatically update and it worked beautifully.

We use Google Charts conjunction with javascript and jquery libraries to achieve the visual impact on data visualization, especially in graphical reports, leaderboards and dashboards.
Google Charts provides us with a useful tool in our work throughout the organization. With Google Charts we attract new customers and cover our current clients expectations.
  • Great visual impact.
  • Wide range of options for customizing tolos.
  • Hey, its free!
  • Required online connection.
  • No manufacturer wrapper for programming languages like Java.
  • Some graphics are better alternatives in other libraries.
Google Charts is ideal for displaying synthesized, scaled and easy viewing information for almost any scenario where a web browser intervenes. However, for mobile applications, desktop or other platforms, it may not be the best alternative. Nor it is highly recommended for analysis when you are already using a dedicated Business Intelligence tool.
