    Chose Google Charts
    Having used other powerful BI tools, Google is still not upto the mark. But it does a decent job for a free tool.

    We can easily recommend Google Charts to any company that needs a way to visually represent their data. Another great thing about Google Charts is that it is free to use and does not require any membership fees. Although it requires a skilled used to be able to use the charts, the results are great and can be beneficial to any company who is looking to make better decisions.

    Cons
    Google
    • I would like a couple more introductory videos or a live chat option for when you run into an issue. I think this is a Google-wide problem, not only linked to Google Charts.
    • I have run into some issues with the Dynamic Data but also admittedly could potentially dive in deeper and investigate.
    • It would be great if Google Charts made it possible to integrate Google Chat into the platform.

    • Some performance issues with large datasets.
    • Linking to dashboards makes extremely long urls.

    Google Charts is a good product. It's widely supported with deep documentation and a large community. But for me, it wasn't customizable enough. When we started with simple charts, it was great, but as we got deeper and more complex, our needs outgrew the library. If I was going forward, I would choose a more barebones library with more freedom and extensibility.

    As a free tool with massively powerful, infinitely customisable charts that can be dynamically updated - Google Charts is my favourite data visualisation tool. However, my hatred of JavaScript does jade my view on it. This is the price of the tool though, and I'm glad it's available for me.

    We did not use the official Kibana support. Documentation was easy enough to follow.

    Kibana is free; it was the first and only thing we've tried in this area.
