Overall Satisfaction with Google Charts

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.
  • Interactive dashboards with real-time data
  • Multiple data sources can be added
  • Dynamic data loading into the charts
  • Loading data source is not straight forward, can be simplified
  • Rich and complex analytics is not supported
  • Since it's free of cost, it's a best bet to use it for charting and reporting dashboards
  • Offers real time data dashboards
  • Offers multiple chart types
Having used other powerful BI tools, Google is still not upto the mark. But it does a decent job for a free tool.

For a free data charting tool, Google Charts does a great job. However, with certain limitations when it comes to data source integration etc.
Haven't used any support yet.
  • 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.
  • 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.
