I believe the charts are accessible, so it's much more preferable to use Highcharts to represent a chart, rather than simply embedding a static image (such as a jpeg or png file). I also like the overall look of how the chart appears in the page. You can scroll over points and have the coordinates appear. Very cool\! > > **Cons**: I was not able to create a certain kind of chart. Perhaps Highcharts doesn't have the flexibility to create any type of chart, or if they do, I just couldn't figure out how to do it. I wish they had more templates that I could use to start my project. > > It was fairly easy to get started, but it was challenging for me to create more complex charts. I had trouble importing my data, so I just entered it manually. I think if they offered more templates to choose from it would be easier for users to create their project. ----- ### "Highcharts review" — 4.0/5 > **Ritu** | *8 January 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is quite flexible and easy to use software, as well as efficient. Provides responsive and varied charts. > > **Cons**: Should be available for non-commercial as well. Could be more flexible > > I had a good experience implementing highcharts. It made my work lot more easier. ----- ### "Very good charting library" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 January 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use we can develop POC in very short span has variety of charts, maps, stock charts > > **Cons**: Nothing major issue only thing is angular framework integration is there but documentation is less.. > > Very good library.. we developed poc project in couple of days ----- ### "Highcharts for" — 4.0/5 > **Mona** | *15 July 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part about this software was the ease of using it. I thoroughly enjoyed how well documented their technical documentation site is. I am a front-end engineer and the fact that you can make interactive charts so easily made it a breeze. I have used the version for ReactJS and as long as you follow their documentation, it is pretty easy to create charts and even share them. > > **Cons**: I liked it for creating basic charts, but when I tried creating complex charts, it took me a while. I was trying to create a very customized example for my company's POC, and that took me a lot of understanding. At some points, it got a little frustrating as well. There are still a lot of open issues in their github issues page. Be sure to check if they offer exactly what you are trying to do. > > Overall, I'd give Highcharts a big thumbs up, their react integration makes it a breeze. It's all dynamic and the charts are indeed quite informative. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/222502/highcharts?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/222502/highcharts) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
