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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our Information Technology team uses Google Charts on dashboards and specific applications that need better ways to display data. It helps us by saving a lot of trouble and time of implementation, besides being very accessible on both Desktop and Mobile devices.
Performance is great, so we don't have issues with that as well.
Pros and Cons
  • Flexibility.
  • Ease of use.
  • Reliability.
  • Visual customization.
  • Integrations with other frameworks.
  • Visual adaptation for smaller screens.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would definitely recommend Google Charts, it's very easy to implement and connect to existing applications and internal or external APIs. Since this kind of application would be very complex to develop from the ground up, Google Charts helps us by saving time and enabling our team to focus on other parts of our products.

Google Charts is a great software because it is free. We use it to create charts and graphs for our reports. The team that uses it the most in our company is our client relations team that builds reports for our clients. It solves the issue of having to aggregate this data and create charts for our clients in a way that is more time consuming.
Pros and Cons
  • easy
  • free
  • powerful
  • some complexities
  • customization is difficult
  • learning curve
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Charts is suitable for just about any company because it is free so does not take any investment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
so we used Google Charts to measure the course completion rate for courses taken up, enrolment rate, assignment completion, diversity of topics etc. for our students and instructors. we used the google charts feature to create visual dashboards having bar and pie charts to see enrolment, completion, learning rates in district school where our courses are available. it helps provide an easy way to understand enrolment vs completion rates and then provide guidance to students on their learning
Pros and Cons
  • 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
  • they don't have geographic charts yet like any other BI tool (MS BI, Tableau)
  • customization needs knowledge of programming language and it is not done through some plugins which give you perform the customization through a UI way
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Charts is just one step short of being the perfect BI tool you would want to have. It is free mostly but for enterprises it comes in a package with G suite. It can help you create all types of charts, and those charts can be embedded in dashboards for a single holistic view of your applications. Its ability to work with data from other google apps is simply amazing and as Google is part of most of our daily lives, Google Charts doesn't make you feel like you're working with something new from day one.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is used by two of our schools, e.g. engineering, to make charts and use javacript to tie into their requirements and descriptions. This also helps the college students learn to build basic programming skills. The users (the students) need Google Charts and the gallery and inventory of chart types that can be customized for their websites. Just knowing there is a gallery of charts is educational.
Pros and Cons
  • Google Charts is free so a terrific tool for universities and students
  • Provides new users that need charts an inventory and gallery of potential charts and types to visualize data
  • The software is useful to add charts and data for websites with limited effort but with success
  • Using the javascript seems intimidately too technical
  • By making it free, it sort of makes the user think they are missing something
  • Limited technical support, kind of have to figure it out
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Charts is well suited for website creation and illuminating the readers of websites of the data visualization. For organizations with limited resources and budgets, like college students and universities and student clubs, Google Charts is very appropriate and reachable. For corporates, banks and management and information technology consulting firms, it just does not have the technical and functional capabilities.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As part of our internal market research function, we maintain a collection of dashboards to monitor competitors, industry partners, and general market trends. Some of these dashboards are dynamic and pull data from external sources such as web queries or linked Excel files. The dashboards often contain charts that illustrate the trending of the data. The main consumers of the dashboards are the executive team.
Pros and Cons
  • Multi line trended line charts to show market share evolution
  • Pie charts to illustrate revenue breakdowns
  • Stacked area charts to show segmentation of industries
  • Exporting the charts could be more straightforward
  • Open the API to allow developers to create charts
  • Create a marketplace to purchase additional charts
Likelihood to Recommend
Power users - people with advance computer knowledge in particular of HTML and general scripting - benefit the most from using Google Charts. However, regular users (such as financial analysts) might have a steeper learning curve to adopt and use Google Charts, in particular comparing off-the-shelf consumer options such as Microsoft Office (Excel) and/or Apple Numbers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Google charts is used by a select team of data analysts and evaluators in my organization. We use google charts to show program evaluation data, which can be used to inform the public, for quality assurance, for legislators, or for grant applications.
Pros and Cons
  • Visualizing a lot of data in an easy-to-read way
  • Shareable content and easy to export data summaries
  • Collaboration tools on data sets
  • Learning curve for new users
  • More geographic tools/geographic data visualization
  • Education/demos on advanced tools are lacking
Likelihood to Recommend
Google charts is a great tool for data analysts or front-end web developers who are looking to add some data and visualization to their products. Sharing outcomes is simple, and great for medium and large organizations. Users who are unfamiliar with programming or do not have experience with data visualization may struggle to start out with google Charts.
