Highcharts Pros and Cons

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.

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 I find truly appealing about Highcharts software is its incredible versatility in chart creation. It offers a wide array of options, allowing me to generate almost all types of charts effortlessly. The efficiency it brings to data visualization and interpretation is impressive, enabling me to convey complex data insights in a clear and understandable manner.

the data user interface of Highcharts could have a more appealing look, as it currently lacks some aesthetic finesse. Secondly, it could be a bit faster, especially when handling large datasets or generating complex visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it isn't easy to use the documentation effectively for developing charts. Some features seem not to be fully documented, requiring the use of other sources to fully understand how the implementation steps (e.g., annotate component). The Highcharts user forum and other web sources help and typically allow me to solve these implementation issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
