## Grapher Reviews
  ### 1. Best Visualize Data Software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2023

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I really appreciated for its versatility in creating high-quality graphs and visualizations and also some graphing options to suit from geology and hydrology to environmental work and construction.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I am  a programmer so, I am using Linux operating system at work time, so Grapher is primarily designed for Windows operating systems, which means I may not have native support.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Personally, I am using this software for data Visualize, Data Analysis, and sometimes using data Customization and Presentation also I use Collaboration and Sharing feature for shared data over my network.

  ### 2. An easy to use software to plot complex graphs

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ankit K. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

It is very easy to use and can be used to plot graphs for a large dataset

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

If it gives more statistics about the data, then it will be very useful. There can be options where we can put our logic to show statistics in graph.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was using it to generate statistics about the customers and their behaviours on the website. Also used it to generate stats about which campaigns are bringing more customers from which referrer and things like that.

  ### 3. Professional Multipurpose Scientific Illustrating System

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Igor Y. | research scientist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Grapher provides a rich extensive well-developed interface allowing its users to adjust and tune every element in their plots. The plots will appear in print and saved images as you actually see them, and over the past years, a number of useful features, like copy-pasting attributes and layers, were added and further improved. I like playing with transparencies and gradient fills. I like ability to link axes using different attributes and even allowing shifts in such attributes.
The rich content of the employed graphing elements, styles and tools, allowing various color and pattern filling will make any figure as good as you can only imagine. Logical and convenient interface. Ability to script and write programs.
Using common axes or multiple axes in the same frame removes limitations to the content meant for each figure. With some journals allowing only a certain number of figure, I find this feature particularly important.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I always tend to make plots containing hundreds of thousands of data points and use quite sophisticated methods to visualize each point, line or plot. Even though everything can  be done to suit my graphing needs, the system drops in speed as you add more lines with many data points. Some speed optimization would help to resolve this issue, although I realize that my expectations and uses are somewhat on extreme side. I imagine that most users find the speed performance adequate and well sufficient to their needs. 
Yet insufficient arsenal for advanced line and object graphic design, for example, making text following a line or if I want to trace the same line multiple times with lines of different width and style I need to create separate plots of the same series. There are many analytical features in the system already, but some advanced statistical capabilities, like correlation analysis, can be added. Whenever I see room for improvement or a new feature, I send my report to the support team, adding suggestions for further improvement or a new version.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Just try it, and if you are critical to graphics you will stick with it.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work in scientific research from data collection and processing to analysis, visualization and publication of results. At all stages I need to build clear powerful and appealing figures, which are most critical and valuable in any frontier publication. For all of the cases that require visualization of data presented as functions or joint distributions I use Grapher. Even if I do most of my programing and computations in Matlab, Matlab is far not best solution for top-quality graphics. Grapher is my tool and instrument of choice here. I often stack multiple plots together, and make fine-tuning using easy control of respective axes provided by Grapher. Since most of my paper-quality graphical artwork require attention to detail, I use exclusively Grpher, Surfer or Voxler for the most advanced illustrations.

  ### 4. Grapher

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

It is relatively easy to use and gives the user complete control of the different elements for graphing data. It can also handle larger data sizes than Excel without bogging down the software or your computer.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Grapher does not provide some of the analyses results (i.e., bins, simple statistics, etc.) that the program is using to make the plots.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

If you run into issues with Excel but don't want to use more complicated software like Statistica or R for plots.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating data analyses graphs that are easier to customize or are not available in Excel. Also, when dealing with larger datasets that Excel has issues handling

  ### 5. Expensive, Limited,  and Too Difficult to Apply for Academic License

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The current version can run on Linux using the Wine compatibility layer.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The product is expensive, it has no native version for Linux, it is limited in scope (especially statistics), and it is too difficult to apply for an academic license.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Initially, I tried Grapher in order to have a compatible graphics program with a colleague, but because of all the negative issues, I decided to abandon the use of Grapher. I am using other programs instead, e.g., GraphPad Prism and Origin Pro.

  ### 6. Best graphing software for price

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott H. | Hydrogeologist, Environmental Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Grapher is easy to use and produces professional-looking graphs.  The number of axes is unlimited which allows you to make graphs that correlate many things on one page.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The live connection to database sources is a little clunky.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Presentation of complex data.

  ### 7. Great software to visualize your data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nikolay G. | Graduate Research Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The program is small yet powerful. It could load and visualize pretty large datasets with ease. It's rock-solid, I don't remember any crashes, even when working with large datasets. I've found that the user interface is very intuitive. It's much easier to learn how to use Grapher than other common data visualization tools such as Excel, Tableau, or Mathplotlib. You don't need any programming skills to create great graphs. The selection of graph types is amazing. For instance, it could create vector plots, where you have to connect different points with a line. I've never encountered this option in another plotting software. It's much more intuitive to add subplots to the existing graphs or manipulate data limits than you can do in Excel. You don't have to know to write code, working with Grapher. There's good support for the different data formats as well.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Despite that the application is mature and feature-rich, I can't find some of the features, commonly found in other popular software packages. For instance the currently, there is no way to duplicate a whole sheet with all the objects on it, as you do in Excel. To do that you have to create a blank page and use copy-paste. Also, there's no way to rearrange the order of the pages. There's no way how to close redundant pages in the Worksheet manager. Price is a bit high for most of the organizations.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I mostly use Grapher to create data visualizations for scientific articles. Currently, I use Grapher to visualize data on the COVID pandemic, such as numbers of daily cases, deaths, incidence rates, numbers of COVID-19 related Tweets on Twitter.

  ### 8. The best graphing software!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan Esteban R. | Ingeniero de Seguridad, Salud Ocupacional y Medioambiente, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

How friendly it is. Moreover, it is a great alternative to Excel, since it has way more possibilities in terms of Graphs.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Sometimes when you work with huge amounts of data, the software gets slow.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I highly recommend use Grapher, since it is very easy to use and you are able to make almost any sort of graph.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have worked as researcher and thanks to Grapher I have been able to make any sort of graphs for my articles and work.

  ### 9. Todd: oh, man, that's great, that solves too many problems.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** min l. | Wellness Specialist, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

It allows me to create very specialized graphics and provide tools beyond what other basic graphics software can provide, which is very easy to learn and use for scientific drawing, which is great!

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Hopefully the pie chart can be improved.In addition, more worksheet operations may be better.If I need to import some basic data, the import tool can be done very easily, but if you need complex custom formatting data, it sometimes can't handle it.Normal licensing fees are quite high, despite the low prices of students.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy analysis of data from different sources, long-term and short-term statistics in an easy-to-read graphical format.Professional layout data presentation with various charts.Using the Grapher rendering data makes it easier to manage.

  ### 10. The best solution for graphs 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Grzegorz N. | geolog, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The easy way to create graphs from very big data sets.  My graphs are very attractive to another people. It have many options (sometimes too much), so I can make graphs as I want. Many different type of charts.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Sometimes program have too much options and find the right take too much time. If developers make batter interface to handle with all of this options, program will be better, and easiest to use. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Read documentation, because very usefull options is hidden

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When I get data from wells, I must show it in form readable for nontechnical people. With grapher I can show it in attractive form.  I get many data from modeling, so I can show here data without using maps. 

  ### 11. An extremely powerful analytical tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mick C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The best feature is the easy to use interface, which is very intuitive and easy to pick up without many lessons. The scripting function that comes with Golden Software and particularly for Grapher, makes creating bulk workflow easy. 

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

There is truthfully nothing I dislike about Grapher, although maybe having a back up file system would help, like Microsoft use with their office suite. A few times I have made large changes accidentally using scripter and can't go back. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I would recommend grapher to anyone who was interested in making their workload easier and also having a software that had powerful analytical parameters. It is very intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes learning the program easy. Another plus is the customer service and support. It has helped me to pretty much learn writing script from scratch and completely streamlined my workload. Good customer support can be hard to come by and Golden Software have incredible support. Grapher is a step ahead for any business looking to gain a stronger analytically tool than excel, for data representation.     

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I had a very large amount of sample points that needed to be graphed and used scripter to complete aobut 1400 of  these graphs in about half a day. It took a job that would have manually taken an eternity and made it simple/easy. The graphics of grapher are also very modern and high resolution, which makes presenting data more impressive in reports and also in presentations. 

  ### 12. A package for producing professional plots

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The immediate and personal support from Golden Software.
The total control that Grapher Properties Window provides to produce professional looking plots. 
Every version number includes a major new feature - this time in v13 it is Piper Plots.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Some important features are a bit hidden e.g. the enhanced curve fitting capability. I have suggested that curve fitting deserves its own tab and should be able to be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

There may be alternatives, I don't know - why change if you are happy.

The product is superior, the price is reasonable and beyond that the free support provided by Golden Software is beyond excellent. Over recent years an ever growing library of videos has been developed and these contain quality nuts and bolts presentations not mere marketing flim-flam. On the few occasions I have had a query I have found an answer in my email the next day.


**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Clear presentation of data from geophysical LAS files (yes, I could use Strater but for some applications I prefer the elegant simplicity of Grapher).
Plots of correlated data
Plots containing multiple graphs e.g. scatter plots and cumulative plots for same data.
Having established some simple templates, the benefit is the ability to reproduce plots in the same style and format each time. 

  ### 13. Excellent graphing tool that provides power analytical tools

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael C. | Geoscientist, Government Administration, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The best function of Grapher and other Golden Software programs for me has been their inbuilt scripting tool, which makes it fast and easy to produce multiple graphs, plots or input unique data. 

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I can honestly say that there hasn't been a single thing I have dislike about the program. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I would recommend Grapher to a company that is look to move forward from other graphical tools, such as Excel. Grapher has a number of inbuilt tools that make it extremely powerful, such a Piper Diagram plots, which are difficult to produce in other programs. Grapher comes inbuilt with a number of different graph types, such as Polar and Ternary. Grapher also has the ability to plot 3D surfaces, which has been invaluable in constructing Geological and Hydrogeological conceptual models. The user interface is very easy to understand and very intuitive, so any user can pick up the software without lessons and begin to understand how the system works. Another major plus of Grapher and Golden Software in General is there level of support. I am an Australian user and have been able to have one of one live chats with technicians in the United States regarding script construction. I have also had a number of email chains remain open for a number and weeks. The support has always been friendly and extremely helpful, which can be difficult to find with some software companies. I have never had an issue that hasn't been resolved and the team always go above and beyond to meet your needs.  

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In has increased productivity, as we have designed a number of scripts to produce bulk loads of plotted data, that would about usually taken about x100 longer to produce. 

  ### 14. User since G3 till G13

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tsung-Hsun Y. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Everything in the graph is very easy to change as I want.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Fitting formula of custom defining is of some difficulty to manage .

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

As having been using Grapher for many years, I do believe Grapher is one of the most essential must-have tools for reports preparation, data analysis, trend prediction, data modelling, etc. Unlike any other popular softwares, Grapher is just small but powerful, clean but complete in every necessary functions. According to my personal experience, Grapher does help me a lot in most of my work since Grapher version 3 and still being. Grapher makes it much easier and more efficient in data analysis, modelling, graphic visualization, and report preparation. No matter what functions implemented in Grapher, like the diverse kinds of 2D/3D graphic wizards, lines/ axes/ symbols tuning, labeling, data fitting, digitizing, zooming,..., use and love it.  

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Data analysis, scientific graphs, behavior modeling.

Benefits: easy to get very high class results.

  ### 15. Great Support Great Product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anthony M. | Kitchen Installations CoWorker, Retail, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

ActiveX/VBA scriptable.  Many non-standard graph types.  Reads directly off Excel workbooks.  Many non-standard graph types.  Great free support not just with using the program but with scripting as well.  Constantly adding new display types.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Some front end re-designs seem like redesign for redesign's sake.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Great value for money.  Saved me many hours and headaches.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mass automation of graph production for reports and data analysis.  Very fast.  Also it just goes that little bit further in terms of graph visualisation than Excel does.  For example histograms that allow for transparency.  Also you can integrate Surface grids and Images and contol export DPI levels.  You can even use it simply as a bulk image file converter.

  ### 16. Perfect graph software basically for 2D- but also for some 3D-types

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mining & Metals | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Very easy and intuitively to learn; extremely wide range of scientific graph types, that can even be arranged in multiple layers making even very complex graphs possible; perfect compatibility with EXCEL and many other file formats (e.g. pictures); very good object manager; enormous variety of attributes; and, and, and....just perfect.
That's why my scientific work is inseparably linked with GRAPHER since about 30 years. 

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The menu structure based on the ribbon technology introduced with GRAPHER 10. Before the menu items were more logically arranged providing a better intuitive menu control with small icons in many customizable  toolbars and buttons. Now there's only one 'quick access toolbar' for depositing icons leading to a unstructured icon stack.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Just try it and you'll be excited, GRAPHER is really a great software!
Especially the support of this extremely competent and always very kind and fast answering team the is the best you can imagine.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For explaining (scientific) data their graphic representation is indispensable. GRAPHER was always and is still the means of choice for realizing perfect graphs. 

  ### 17. An ultimate graphing/plotting package 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marek P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Nearly unlimited editing capabilities for text, objects, lines, ability to digitize data from hand-prepared figures, ability to import/insert pictures (e.g., jpg tiff files) into plots. Flexibility in figure sizes, figure locations (side by side, one on top of the other). 

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I can't think of anything significant. The "Export" feature (Export a grapher file to other formats) sometimes results in gigantic file sizes for no apparent reason (not apparent to the user). For example, converting a 200kB grf file to an eps file of the same visual quality will often result in a file size of 68 MB. Although the export feature is a very valuable option, I only use it when absolutely necessary since such file sizes cannot practically be used for any purpose.  

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I would most strongly recommend Grapher to  anyone who regularly needs to produce high-quality technical graphs, plots, maps, etc. As a university professor, I totally rely on Grapher for my course notes, journal papers, reports, conference presentations etc. I have used Grapher since it was offered under DOS, since the early 90s, and then moving on to Grapher 2 and all subsequent versions. I first used it as a student and then as a university professor. In addition to extensive graphing capabilities, one can also create drawings (flowsheets, block diagrams, chemical formulae), import pictures into figures/graphs, etc. If one wanted to, Grapher can also be used to type an entire research thesis since the text editing capabilities of Grapher are highly advanced. I also often use Grapher to digitize old figures that are not available in digital format (pdf). One can scan a figure as a jpg file, and then import the jpg file into Grapher, and digitize it. I had people approach me after presentations at conferences to ask me what software I used to prepare my graphs. The software is generally very intuitive so navigating through different tabs, object properties, etc., becomes a simple process.  

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Grapher to create plots and figures for my course notes, journal papers, conference presentations, reports, etc. I actually also use it as a drawing tool for schematics, flowsheets, block diagrams, etc. since the drawing capabilities of the program are fairly advanced. I even used Grapher to produce structural formulae of complex organic molecules. Overall, this is a perfect package that allows me to present not just data but also a range of extra information using options for text, objects, drawings, symbols, imported pictures, etc. The benefits are obvious: some of the most visually appealing technical figures that can be produced today using a single piece of software.     

  ### 18. An excellent product for visualizing your data

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Uğur A. | TBM Specialist, Renewables & Environment, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I am using Grapher mostly for academia related studies and I am very happy with it. It's very flexible and provides lots of graphic types which can not be drawn with Excel or other similar tools. It is possible to combine some graphic types and possible to add or change other data to a previously created chart. It also provides lots of import and export options including jpeg, eps and pdf. In addition to charts, there are some statistic tools which are very convenient to use. 

It's very easy to use, and when you learn how to use it (which is very easy by the way) you can continue to use it for newer versions. As a PhD student and an engineer working in industry it' became my everyday tool for visualizing data.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Pie charts must be improved. Also more worksheet operations could be better. If you need to import some basic data, import tool can do it very easily however if you need a complex and custom formatted data it could not handle it sometimes. Even though the price for students is low, normal licence fee is very high. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I'ts very easy to learn and use, provides nearly all graphic styles. The only missing graphic type is pie charts (It's actually there but requires lots of  improvements).

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using it mostly for academic purposes, drawing machine related parameters to the charts. Able to customizing your graphic and adding more layers to it is very convenient  and can not be done on spreadsheet applications. 

  ### 19. Grapher facilitates ease of making professional graphs quickly

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Ease of of making date-time graphs reading the excel date. 
The piper diagram is wonderful and wished we had it five years ago. 
I like how all components of the graph is flexible.  
The scripting option to produce graphs in mass is very useful and saves a time.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Need to have the ability to control significant digits for trend lines and associated stats.  
I wish Grapher allowed the ability to click /hoover on a plot data point and the data point value shows. Yes, you can add labels to the plot, but if the plot has lots of data points than this impractical as all the labels are on top of each other and will cover up other data points.  Excel graphs have this ability but not Grapher.  Please Add it!

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Showing complex data to non-science orientated audience.  Need to better automate making graphs

  ### 20. Grapher Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brandon B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Very customizable! It is easy to change seemingly simple things that are actually very difficult to change in Excel. Also, the templates make creating repeatable graphs a breeze.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

It can be somewhat of a hassle to move and edit lines and other figure additions on a plot. I would like to see the lines, arrows, etc. move/scale with the graph.  I would like to have a default font style option so that I do not have to continue to change styles when adding headings.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Take time to learn the intricacies of the program. Some things are not obvious right away, but once you find them the program is excellent!

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Grapher for my Master's research. The most prolific benefit is that it creates very professional plots quickly and easily.

  ### 21. Nice and Easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Guilherme V. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

With Grapher it is very easy and quick to make nice, elegant and high quality scientific graphs. There are plenty of fitting options, and you can put your own as well. Real histograms and ternay plots are other differentials.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I really like this software, I use it since the DOS times. If I MUST do assign something I'm not so confortable, I would say that is when using with small monitor.  

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

There are a bunch of ways to put dots on a plot, but if you want a 2D or 3D scatter plot, sufrace, maps, you can do it with precision with Grapher.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With grapher you can "graph" anything, from maps to data. What really like, as I said, is that you construct real scientific plots.

  ### 22. Best graphing program I've ever used (since 1998)

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lawrence T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The flexibility of the software in producing different types of graphs, and the flexibility of the software in setting up the appearance of the graphs concerned.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The only lack I've ever found in Grapher is the inability to set up spatial x-y graphs of data and not being able to make analog measurements of the resulting array.  

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Try the demos made available by Golden Software for this product, and determine if it is what you are looking for.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making sense of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data sets.

  ### 23. Mapviewer allows me to make graphics in minutes!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alberto V. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I really like the speed of the software and how easy it is to make a graphic. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The documentation of the software is very complete: the PDF manual is excellent and the help of Grapher also. I would like to include examples made by users.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The worksheet needs more options (some basic Microsoft Excel has as hide or show columns and also immobilize rows or columns).

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Fast and easy to use and at a reasonable price.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Grapher to make all the graphics of my reports and articles. In my office projects, my favorite software for graphics is Grapher!  Save a lot of time since Grapher is very easy to use,

  ### 24. Been using Grapher for over 20 years

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicholas F. | Senior Hydrogeologist and Engineer, Civil Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

How easily it links to XLS files, and when those files are updated, that Grapher figures instantly change when you reopen

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Can't save to an older version of Grapher. (e.g. with Grapher 12, I can't save a file, that a Grapher 8 user can open)

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Works well with Excel.  Similar interface to Surfer.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Very useful when creating large numbers of figures, with consistent margins, boundaries, axes, etc.

Some mainstream spreadsheet software are a nightmare to create a PDF set of figures, without elements on each page jumping all over the place.

Very easy to produce large numbers of professional showing data updating over time.

Extremely to closely control figures with multiple X- and Y- axes.

  ### 25. Great software for creating graphs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cosmin P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I very much like the versatility of the software, that I have the freedom to change/modify almost anything I want according to my wishes. I also like the fact that can easly handle large amounts of data (thounds of rows as raw data handled without any problems). Also, the fact the you can export in almost any format and my favorite is pdf vector.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The fact that the raw data, imported in grapher from an excel file, once lost you lose the whole graps. I would prefer to only carry one file, i.e. grapher and not having to care about the excel file.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Plotting measurement data from laboratory tests. Create neat figures for journal papers.

  ### 26. Grapher - A step up from excel

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Grapher has the necessary tools to create report quality graphs. It is more flexible than a simple tool such as excel and can incorporate scripting to automate graph/figure generation. When used properly grapher can result in significant time savings and a professional looking product.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Grapher becomes cumbersome when linked to a large number of files when opening and saving. There have been some limitations on right hand justifying text which is a minor irritation when creating figure title blocks. The learning curve for grapher is also steeper when compared to something like excel, how it less complicated than using a programming language such as R to generate graphs.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

If you're looking for a more powerful tool than excel to generate graphs, but still want something with a a reasonable user interface grapher is a tool worth considering.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating report quality figures and graphs to present data to clients. It is faster to update and more flexible than excel which leads to a more professional product which is often faster to create than using a tool such as excel.

  ### 27. Mixed Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Plenty of options to get the perfect graph.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Over-elaborate platform, non-intuitive. The full story is in the next box which should have been the first box. I hate writing in boxes on surveys and grant applications. I don't like the lack of formatting and I don't like having to follow your agenda. You should just ask for opinions in a free-form submission and then pick out the likes and dislikes with proper context.

So, I dislike the format of this questionaire :-)  

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Read my review :-)

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am an academic and I use Grapher for my journal papers and reports. So, I use Grapher for publishing my research. Given time and effort, I can get superb complex graphs. This is commendable but I have major issues with Grapher 10 that I use (and probably the later versions).

Even after using Grapher 10 extensively and leaving it alone for several months, I have to re-learn all the little non-intuitive details of how it works.  I do not want to take tutorials. I expect graphing to be simple and intuitive. So, I now tend to use Excel 2010. 
In the past, I used to use early versions of Grapher in preference to Excel. I even used to laugh at how silly and non-intuitive Excel was compared with Grapher. But then, later versions of Grapher became worse than Excel and it keeps changing for no apparent reason (except to con us into buying a new version). 

Excel, on the other hand, seems to have stayed mostly the same. I had to use Excel to modify student graphs (because they all use Excel) and when using Excel spreadsheets it is dead easy to plot Excel graphs. As I get better at Excel's fiddly presentation details, I have less reason for using Grapher 10. I can see no reason to buy Grapher 13 and would only now use Grapher 10 for special graph-intensive papers or reports. 

You have allowed your software developers to ruin the main feature of early Grapher which was easy to use and had an intuitive approach.  This is hugh, huge mistake. Grapher needs a much simpler interface with intuitive menus in nice drop down menus. You should abandon your own spreadsheet and just build Grapher to easily use the latest Microsoft Excel. worksheet. It is true that the early version did not allow an Excel spreadsheet and so I had to copy data from Excel to your spreadsheet and put up with its many limitations. But then Grapher was fairly intuitive and it was worth it. However, when using Grapher 10, I never considered using your spreadsheet and always use an Exel spreadsheet but it is a fiddle to set up.

So, all this is very much an opinion related to my experience. If I had a broader set of needs for graphing, my opinions might change a little but you will have to decide how much they would be likely to change. You may think that it is on the wrong track but consider this, the students I teach use Excel graphing almost exclusively and, like me, have little patience for non-intuitive formatting and even have trouble with Excel (which is why I had to learn more about Excel graphing to polish up their efforts).

I recommend setting up a software development team and have them start with Excel graphing and improve it (much fiddling still occurs in Excel graphing). Call it “GRAPHER  BASIC” and watch it out-sell Grapher 13 (or whatever is the latest version) once it gets going (even though it might cost more). And don't ever make any major changes and don't offer new versions, upgrade it for free.

PS. I am away from my main computer (don't like data in the cloud) and don't have a current graph to show in the screenshot below. However, I did use Grapher 10 in the following paper  Medley JB (2016) Can physical joint simulators be used to anticipate clinical wear problems of new joint replacement implants prior to market release? IMechE, pt H, J of Eng in Med, 230, 5, 347-358 and I even mentioned Golden Software in the Acknowledgements.

  ### 28. Simple-Easy to use-Professional looking Graphics

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I like to use Grapher when generating plot in which i will need to blow out a specific area for more detail. Grapher does that impeccably while you get to maintain the overall clean appearance. I also recently discovered that the polynomial fit in Grapher goes to the power of 10, which in my case was very much needed for better statistics. Additionally, you get to export the statistic report in  a word (docsx) format which is easy to access afterwards.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Bar charts  are a little more difficult for me to use in grapher then they are in excel. if you figure it out though, the graph will look more professional as you get to modify fonts type, size, for the axis and graph title in grapher. You can also use superscript and subscripts in the axis and graph titles which excel does not let you do.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have not dabbled in the use of grapher for business.

  ### 29. Grapher Review - Environmental Science Applications

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Grapher offers excellent ability to access and display various data sources.  It also provides some of the best and most intuitive statistical analyses and display options for my applications.  I started with this program (and Surfer) during my early doctoral work when it was first released back in the 1980's.  Over the last 30 years, I've tried various other scientific analyses and graphing packages.  Grapher consistently provided the best combination of ease of use and sophisticated graphical display.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

The ability to customize graphics designs is excellent, but periodically entails a lot of time to get the style consistent across all elements.  It would be useful to be able to change the style, font, size, etc... of all features at once, or have a recommended design implemented automatically through AI or even set templates.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Try it first - thoroughly.  The product is excellent, but you should convince yourself of it before procurement.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Grapher daily to plot and analyze environmental data used to monitor and mitigate contaminated sites.

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

quick plots. easy formatting. extremely flexible formatting.  everything can be manually tweaked.  If you can imagine a figure, you can make it with Grapher.  And if Grapher can't do it, they will by the next release...extremely good tech support and they listen to user input.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

honestly, nothing.  I guess when I borrowed a Mac for a couple of weeks it didn't work on that...  

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

I promise you won't find a more flexible, EASY to use, data graphing package

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

allows me to make template graphs that take zero time to set up.    these aren't business problems...   they allow me to see my Geological data in ways that were difficult at best before...and quickly.

  ### 31. Using Grapher to support regulatory approvals

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

In order of appreciation:
1) Flexibility with adding and changing axis
2) Templates
3) Inter-operability with other Golden Software products
4) Export options
5) Big datasheet capability

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

1) Print resolution of lines...when I develop the same graph in Excel the lines appear much more crisp and fine in Excel. Still searching for a way to get this output from Grapher.
2) Would like to see more spreadsheet options when using the data transorm tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Take the time to learn Grapher's time saving templates, color mapping etc.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Grapher in support of environmental approvals and regulatory requirements. I'm displaying comparisons of time series data including water levels, pumping volumes, trigger levels etc.

**Reviewed by:** Ricardo V. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

In its latest version, GRAPHER has combined most of the absolute necessary graphic types you will ever need to represent the results of your data. The price is right.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I do not dislike anything, but I must recognize that it takes a little time to get used to reformating and tinkering with the new graphics.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

You will not get anything better for this price. I would also like to add the excellent customer service they offer.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I do process a lot of geochemical data and GRAPHER provides me with an elegant way of creating informative graphics for my clients.

  ### 38. Casual User

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I  like that, even after its long history dating back to versions for DOS, it is still evolving and being actively supported. Its flexibility and adaptability are impressive!

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

That it still won't import the settings files from the DOS version. Yes, I know I'm an "edge case" but I did quite a few plots with version 1.75 of the DOS version of Grapher. I recreated one of my more important plots in version 1.0 of Grapher for Windows, and for practice, did it again with version 6---otherwise there has been no re-use of my old files.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I no longer to make plots on a routine basis. I updated my copy of Grapher more for reasons of nostalgia than need.

Groundwater chemistry evaluations

  ### 40. Great to demonstrate to graduate level decision science students

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

This is a well designed, and intuitive graphics tool that is very useful for data reduction methods.  I think the presentation graphics are best in class

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Unfortunately, at most smaller universities the dramatic cost increases in tuition, fees and IT costs force budget constraints that cannot be sported by our students, therefore, I am forced to demonstrate the power of Grapher in case analysis.  The students cannot gain hands on familiarity with this fine tool.  The costs and loan requirements have become terribly burdensome for our MBA students and we cannot obtain the number of licenses for our students

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Give it a try

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Log file plots, category of IT penetrations, time series and Recovery time for IT systems

It helps me the understanding trends in the data and help me to come with mitigation strategies.

  ### 45. Review of Grapher Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sam G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I like how simple and accessible it is. Not as complicated as Igor, and produces good quality graphs.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

I would like more shapes for graph lines: triangles, diamonds, squares, spheres (hollow and solid). With my version, I'm only able to change the size of dashed lines.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using grapher to plot scientific data for publication in peer reviewed journals. Grapher allows me to make high quality figures without paying for a subscription. 

  ### 46. Good application for making very customized plots. 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I like the script capabilities. Has made my life a lot easier to be able to code and make repeatable plots much quicker to make. 

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Takes a little bit of time to figure out all the capabilities of Grapher. The learning curve is a bit steep, but once figured out, Grapher is pretty easy to use. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Great program. 

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not necessarily solving business problems, but realizing how powerful of a tool Grapher is. 

  ### 47. Too much of a tool for me

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

Good for experienced and frequent users.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Too complex and counterintuitive for me.

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

If you are adept with Excel and gui-based graphics, you will probably like Grapher.  I'm not so adept.  So after I discovered gnuplut under linux, I was delighted.  Gnuplot is simple, text-based, easy to use from the command line, and similar to what I used in the decades past.

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scientific data plots for proposals and papers.

  ### 48. Great for Figures

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

I like the flexibility in the program.  I can adjust almost everything I want on my graphs and create great figures of my data.  Many times I need to put multiple graphs and different types of graphs on one figure and Grapher makes that super easy to do.

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

Honestly, I think it's a great program and don't have complaints

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Grapher to create figures for publication of my research.

  ### 50. Grapher is perfect!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2018

**What do you like best about Grapher?**

The quality of the results, the ability to copy a graph to a document.  When putting multiple data sets into the same graph and wanting to modify them all in the same way (e.g. line width) the "line properties" window comes up as each line graph is chosen.     

**What do you dislike about Grapher?**

When you put a name in the legend for each data set, it would be very helpful to put that into the line on the object manager list. 

**Recommendations to others considering Grapher:**

Use is straightforward and the many different graphs one can do with it, that it is awesome! 

**What problems is Grapher solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Good visual illustration of results of our research.
