(Original )Information
What do you like best about Highcharts?

Highcharts provides some great data visualization software that we used for many years. It supports a ton of different graphic options and is simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highcharts?

Highcharts business model includes both open source and commercial offerings. When negotiating pricing for their commercial offering, we worked with our Sales person to come up with a reasonable price that we could leverage long-term. After several renewals at that price, a new Sales team member came back to us with revised pricing that took us from a support fee of 30% of what we initially paid for the license to a 91.3% support fee. After numerous interactions with the member of the Sales team and their Chief Sales Officer, they were unwilling to budge on our long-contracted terms. Rather than fighting it on a legal front, we opted to completely abandon the software. If you're using it for non-commercial purposes, by all means use Highcharts. But if you ever intend to commercialize the product using it, I'd recommend looking at something else, instead, for your data visualization requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Highcharts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Highcharts provided us with the ability to do data visualization in our product using graphics like pie charts, line charts and bar charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
