Highcharts Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Highcharts is its flexibility, extensive charting options, and excellent documentation. It makes it easy to create interactive, responsive, and visually appealing charts with minimal effort. I also appreciate how easily it integrates with different web technologies and how much control it provides over customization, making it a great choice for building data-driven applications and dashboards.

The main downside of Highcharts is its licensing cost, especially for commercial projects and smaller businesses. Some advanced customizations can also take time to implement, and the learning curve can be steep when working with complex charts. While the documentation is good, I sometimes find that achieving very specific designs requires extra effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highcharts has added a lot of new features lately. One of the most exciting ones is light/dark theme support through their design system. This totally changes the game, now our dark themed dashboards look really native and Highcharts plays a crucial role in it.

Further, there are some historical trends which we show which basically means we had to pass on huge chunks of data to Highcharts for visualisation. Before, sometimes the chart didn't use to load, but now it's seamless experience for our users.

Further our LLM based query analyser is now producing high quality charts powered by Highcharts again. The earlier experience was average but now its super impressive and an immersive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's still a difficult question to answer but the way data visualisation has evolved lately, I believe having native high quality connectors to data sources would add massive value in Highcharts further adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say, the things I like remain the same. The example library is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've seen the improved Highstock charts library and the idea of switching to tradingview for some of our needs isn't so clear anymore. A plus from the Tradingview library is the share chart thing they have to create a community around. So some form of social networks integration would be useful.

I like Highcharts because it offers a variety of customization options. You can choose different styles and settings, like colors, dates, and times. It's useful because it matches the branding of a company, especially when using other tools like Excel, and it makes life easier by allowing those set colors to be transferred. The combination of settings gives me a range of options to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some part of the software that I would like documented to be easier or more flexible. The setup wasn't too easy or difficult, but I had to follow the instructions closely to get it done in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Highcharts, besides the immense quantity of charts, tables, and other tools, is the dynamism—the adaptability it provides for the developer and user. It's the interaction it possesses, from the click to the data analysis, bringing more performance and understanding... besides being very beautiful.

Adding to that, its easy setup and manipulation stand out, making it simple to integrate into any project. The library offers fast rendering speed, ensuring a smooth experience even with large datasets. Plus, its adaptability across different screen sizes (responsiveness) means the visualizations look and function perfectly on any device. I also note that it is frequently used, and I see many companies utilizing it, which further validates its quality and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like it, and I don't see anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a university student working on data visualization projects, I found Highcharts to be a really useful library for creating interactive charts. It’s easy to set up with basic JavaScript knowledge, and the documentation is thorough with lots of examples. I especially liked how customizable the charts are—you can adjust almost everything from colors to tooltips, which makes the visualizations look professional.

For my coursework, I used it to create a dashboard that displayed survey results, and the interactivity (like hovering over data points and filtering series) really impressed my classmates. Compared to manually coding charts with just HTML/CSS, Highcharts saved me a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is that the licensing can be a bit confusing for students—though they do allow free use for non-commercial projects, which is great. Also, some advanced features require digging deeper into the API, which can feel overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Highcharts for our dashboards, modelling results, and scenario builder in Odins.ai. It is easy to implement, works reliably with large datasets, and offers good customization options to match our design. The documentation is clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The many options can make the initial setup take some time for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the few charting libraries that has gone above and beyond to make the charting experience a real delight to use with assistive technologies (ie it’s very accessible) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to say the documentation, but now with HighCharts GPT that’s no longer an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
