Highcharts has a lot of things going for it, including being entirely written in javascript, which makes integrating with it a breeze, along with modifying anything as it is an open license. SInce it is written in javascript, it naturally compatible with almost any web browser, making it an excellent choice when you need to include charting capabilities on your site. Highcharts also has a wide variety of different charts, allowing you to expand your creativity with your site design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HighCharts only has a few drawbacks, but they are easy to remedy. The main issue I find is that text tends to overlap the chart lines, making it hard to read, while looking a bit amateurish. It is also a bit difficult if you are using custom graphics, as support is pretty much non-existent.. Regardless of having a few problems, this is very pleasant to work with.

The number of charts you're able to plot using this library is overwhelming. Ranging from normal line graph to 3D scatter graph, you'll never run out of reasons not to use this library.

The usage is fairly simple. List down all your values and throw them into any predefined graph you like and the library will take care of everything. Furthermore, it's highly customizable with multiple demos for you to look through and learn from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation is confusing, at least for me. You do have to click and open up multiple webpages to view the configuration of a single type of graph as some graphs have configurations that other graphs are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the sheer power Highcharts affords to the implementing developer. With a vast amount of configuration, you can create any standard data visualization one could think of (or be directed to do) and in those instances where the vanilla offering of Highcharts (or Highstock) does not suffice, the library is extensible so you can write a custom plugin to do exactly what you want. Not only is the system extensible, but it's pretty easy to hook into the library internals to do some really fancy things on the plot or chart area. Furthermore, because it's SVG based you get a lot of cool performance and functionality benefits, one thing to mention is per-element eventing, so interactivity is enhanced.

I dislike the learning curve going from novice Highcharts user to advanced Highcharts user. A lot of the knowledge about higher orders of functionality that is possible using Highcharts is squirreled away in one of many StackOverflow posts or in an obscure blog post linked somewhere on the 10th page of search results.

- Very easy to use

- Produces beautiful, interactive graphics

- Supports lots of customization options, but has sensible defaults for almost everything

- Lots of plugins available for pretty much anything.

- You can extend Highcharts with your own plugins.

- The developers are very friendly with user contributions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love Highcharts, there isn't much to dislike.

The only issue I've had is on 3D charts support - It could use some love from the developers.I've submitted a few patches for the larger issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of config.

It's as simple as a script reference in your HTML and then you start building.

The api and examples are very good.

JSON chart config is both familiar and standards based.

The range of charts is awesome and the ability to draw custom charts and overlays works really well.

Some of the nested config is a little confusing at times and could be done better imo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free for non-commercial use and it has plethora of chart types. Charts are interactive and looks nice. I also like possibility to export charts to different formats. Feature that I find very useful is possibility to drilldown in details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From technical side - we really need official support of HighCharts on AngularJS. One more thing that I want to mention is that I find it a bit pricey for single developer use, but I guess that's just me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great documentation, filled with live examples and also quite well written. Charts perform really well too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit heavy on the page load but considering what the lib does it is understandable... But maybe some customized build would be lovely (i.e.: targenting browser with newer features and javascript implementations) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely easy to get up and running with Highcharts. Their API is incredibly easy to use and their documentation is very straight forward. The examples they provide are more than enough to dive in with both feet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you need to customize certain graphs the documentation can sometimes be a bit lacking. This is remedied almost always by finding posts online (like StackOverflow) and jsFiddles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How the javascript APIs make good looking charts easy and are well maintained, unlike many competitors. Additionally, thoughtful visual effects and animations are great to easily show your website viewer that the data being presented is there yet is elegant and not distracting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The maps product could use more development for routes and adding simple markers, as compared to the robustness of the stocks and chart libraries. Additionally, the library sometimes becomes frustrating when you need to add custom interactivity not covered directly in the API and have to figure out somewhat how it works under the hood.

Hands down, I like its beauty the best. These charts give professional financial platforms a serious run for their money.

Highcharts is also highly performant. It can take large amounts of data without failing or slowing down the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation is confusing, and I often spent hours working on tiny little features that would not work while introducing new bugs. It's not always clear how to get Highcharts do what you want it to do and you can often run into really unexpected behavior. This is the point where good documentation would come in handy.
