Overall Satisfaction with Highcharts

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used on our website and our app to visualize system metrics. We needed to display various metrics and data series together and it was a great choice. We found it fast, pure javascript, with good support and examples. There's a lot of documentation, and rendering is fast and gives us a consistent look and feel across all of our products.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Pure javascript.
Quick rendering.
Lots of examples.

Cons

It's relatively complex.
Data and configuration of the display would be better.
The learning curve is not negligible.

Alternatives Considered

Highcharts is almost 10 times more popular on real websites, so we decided to go safe here. The community was most important to us.

Other Software Used

Zapier, Postman, Jenkins

Likelihood to Recommend

For simple, one chart, maybe a simpler product would suffice. If you need eye-candy charts, pure javascript, and total control of almost any aspect, this is the tool. It works great with react and react-native.
