As an engineering student, I build a lot of microcontroller projects using ESP8266 and NodeMCU (like a smart irrigation system and robotics). Graphviz is awesome because I can just write simple text using the DOT language, and it automatically generates complex flowcharts of my C++ logic. It helps me perfectly visualize the "state machines" of my sensors and local web servers before I actually upload the messy code to the board. Plus, being 100% free and open-source makes it perfect for my college assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have a modern visual drag-and-drop interface like other diagramming tools. You have to type out the code to generate the graphs, which feels a bit old-school and takes a little bit of time to learn initially. Also, if your DOT script gets too long for a complex circuit logic, finding a missing bracket or syntax error can be slightly annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Graphviz makes it really easy to create diagrams from simple text or code. It saves time and is especially useful when you have complex relationships or large data to visualize. Also, once you get used to the syntax, it is pretty straightforward to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. I’m happy with Graphviz overall and haven’t faced any major issues with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphviz is super convenient. I can create graphs from DOT files without any hassle. The visuals are clear, and I can save them as PNG, PDF, or SVG. Plus, it's stable and free, so I can use it for all my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The command line interface can be a bit confusing at first, especially since there's no real GUI. It takes a bit of getting used to. And if you want to make more complicated graphs, you'll need to know a bit of DOT and often have to test it several times before it looks good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the capacity of Graphviz to generate graphics automatically, clear and well structured with a simple text code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The syntax can be sometimes hard to master, even if you are a new user. Some formatting options require many tries before you get what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sorts and analyzes vast amounts of data every day. It was so fascinating that its scalability, efficiency, and user-friendliness are amazing for manipulating large bulk of data. It is a convenient tool to work with the data sets, which at a first glance seem too complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A slow initial launch (of application) causes users to lose a lot of time in doing the job. At the beginning, I realised that Graphvis was difficult enough, but in the end Graphvis became something special to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphviz is a smart decoder ring for data. As I process and release, it takes those complicated relationships and gives me clear, colorful maps that my brain can understand. Whether it's visualizing distant inter-webs or Spider-Man's way of thinking, Graphviz makes the our invisible visible. This way of writing covers a lot, being at the same moment very simple and strong. Not only that, these SVG outputs are a visual treasure fro me, which are easy to incorporate in reports and presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graphviz did not provide me with the easy-drag-and-drop feature. The learning curve may seem like an Everest to beginners like me, if you want to customize more than basics. But the command-line interface, that’s where real developers come in – even me as a GUI lover can’t stand it. The information, even though it is elaborate, can seem like a maze sometimes. And Graphviz does customization well, but if you are looking for hyper-artistic, Instagram-worthy graphs like me, there might be other options for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is useful in many ways as it provides options for fonts, colors, hyperlinks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the time of rendering it frequently gives wrong result Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The text-to-graph approach Graphviz offers sets it apart from other graph visualization tools. Often times graph visualization tools do not support various data formats, making it challenging to import data from different sources or formats, and thus adding extra data processing steps. With Graphviz, I have saved hours of time that would go on preparing data for visualization. I love the customization options available for shapes, hyperlinks, line styles and more. The tool is quite easy to use, even for casual users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the Documentation could be a bit more elaborate, especially for the Library Usage and Layout Engines sub-sections. Also, Graphviz needs some improvement to generate large, complex graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers several automated layout algorithms. Almost every element of the graphs may be altered, including the edge styles, colors, labels, and more, enabling us to create customized visualizations to meet particular requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When intricate modifications or beautiful designs are needed, it might fall short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has cool features to plot various kinds of diagrams like graphs, networks etc. which helps in Data Visualization techniques Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has limited features and the quality of images are not as good like which are present in seaborn or plotly libraries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
