Considered Both Products

Chose Google Charts
In comparison to Microsoft Power BI, Google Charts has more ease of use for businesses who simply need a way to visually display their data from their reports. Although Power BI may be more robust in more complicated data compilation, Google Charts can still be able to do some …
Chose Google Charts
As our company heavily utilizes Google products, when we first looked into the tool to help us to present our data, we were looking if we could find anything that is from Google and can satisfy our basic needs. Google Charts fit in it very well. That does not mean we are not …
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is free so it was a no brainer for our company to use. There may be other products out there that have more functionality or are easy, but they are not free.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is great because it is free. There are not really other options that are out there that offer as much as Google Charts does without the cost, so no other software really stacks up.
Chose Google Charts
I also would like to add Chart.js to the list, although it was not a searchable option. Google Charts is hard to beat, considering how effective it is, and that there's no need for an enterprise subscription. It's got basically any sort of chart or timeline or trend tracker you …
Chose Google Charts
Having used other powerful BI tools, Google is still not upto the mark. But it does a decent job for a free tool.
Chose Google Charts
We have not really tried any other software for this purpose other than Google Charts because it is free and has worked very well for us.
Chose Google Charts
It is a reliable tool and its free version definitely stacks up against a lot of other paid versions of other software. So if you are using anything else, it is definitely worth checking out Google Charts.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is one of the better software for data visualization because it is free. You can’t beat that!
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is better than any other alternative because it is free. It is a bit difficult to customize, so there may be better softwares out there depending on the complexity of what you are trying to do.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts is one of the best tools out there because it integrates perfectly with Google Drive and Google Sheets, etc.
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts does offer a lot of functionality and it is also free which is why it is a great choice for our team. We are always looking for free solutions that are out there.
Chose Google Charts
Smartsheet integrates better with JIRA out of the box so we primarily use Smartsheet for visualisation of our Sprint breakdown. However, when reporting to higher-ups, we use Google Charts as the flexibility is far greater. We can better make visualisations that suite our …
Chose Google Charts
There are very many other softwares out there that are as intuitive as Google Charts and that is what makes it great.
Chose Google Charts
Our teams were already using Google's G suite and as google charts simply came tagged along with it, they were more than happy to go with google charts given its capabilities. Though we have another BI solution in place but teams mostly work with google charts and export their …
Chose Google Charts
Google Charts stacks up better since it is free and does not have the constant pressure for cost overruns, add-ons, annual maintenance and implementation services. The speed of using Google Charts is quick, saving users potentially weeks in getting up and going. For the …

Chart.js is another javascript alternative to Google Charts. It outputs charts in Canvas elements rather than SVG, so it's a bit easier to manipulate and make responsive.
Chose Google Charts
For both the tools you need a good programming knowledge but this is not the case with Google Charts.
Chose Google Charts
I honestly have no used others. This was my first in my field. But I can say it's been a joy to work with and I don't see myself or my organization using any other platform or program.
Chose Google Charts
Went with Google Charts directly. Integrates with other Google apps that we use seamlessly.
Chose Google Charts
We selected Google Charts because it is a free tool and is a part of the GSuite.
Chose Google Charts
We have not really used any other products, but we do not really need a reason to because this one has worked so well for us.
Chose Google Charts
I've used D3.js and Google Charts, in my opinion, is easier to use and more accessible. But D3.js is much more visually flexible and has a lot of different use cases if we compare it to this service. So I think Google Charts is suitable for dashboards and applications that …
Chose Google Charts
I have not used many other software similar to Google Charts because a lot of the software I have used in the past has integrated reporting available to the customer. However, for instances where our software reporting is not accurate, we are able to use this online source to …
Chose Google Charts
I definitely prefer Google Charts over Piktochart chart because of the way that it integrates with Google Sheets, Google Drive, and Google Docs. The entire G Suite is completely crucial to our operation and having an outside chart program doesn't streamline or make data …

Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
It is better to the integration with all our existing systems, despite of the higher cost if you compare it with the others

Tableau CRM is capable of providing powerful data visualization and analytical insights into your data set. Also, it produces a simple and understandable graphical representation of data. When compared to PowerBI, If you are an enterprise Microsoft user, there may be a clear …

Compare to other solutions Tableau CRM provides more attractive GUI and interactive dashboards. Cost and integration are still a challenge as It cost around $150 per user license cost.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau CRM no doubt has best GUI compare to any other existing BI tools we are currently working on. We are already using Salesforce as a CRM tool for sales/services/marketing and Tableau CRM has easy connectivity and development with Salesforce data. After demo the sample …

Compared to tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are …

Before this our company have been using lots of other tracking tools but mostly it is very manual when it comes to generating reporting view which is resolved when using Salesforce Einstein Analytics since reporting feature is automated. Tons of time have been saved from …

Salesforce needs fully baked data for its architecture and design to give you the best results you deserve. Teams not having used Salesforce previously take some time getting used to EA. But its ability to give the data points for KPIs to the sales team in real time and to the …

Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the leader in the CRM industry when it comes to capturing and understanding the relative date. Therefore, many sales leaders and professionals are accustomed to utilizing the tool. Because of this factor, there is a more exceptional …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau is more of a developer tool and for non-technical workers, it is hard to learn. The product is superior to Einstein Analytics, but if the first goal is to get this out to an entire company, then Salesforce is the way to go. For the technical workers, the limitations of …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Have used Tableau before which is my all-time favorite. I would recommend Tableau over any other BI tool. It is widely known, widely used, and easily imported into your business no matter what other software or tools you use.

The analytics from Salesforce doesn't stack up against competitors. I'd love a one-stop platform, where I could get all of my email automation, CRM, and website KPI data tracking done, but that isn't Salesforce. I really like the website analytics from FullStory, and I like the …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Analytics Cloud was chosen by the higher ups and I had no say in it. And it's really the only analytics tool we use. But from what I have heard from my co-workers, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud is by far the best in its class. But I have not personally used any …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce is the leader and the giant. I did not know so much about analytics before employing in our enterprise, so went with known name. The brand and what it stands for is imperative to me.

Salesforce Cloud has a much more robust system compared to Zoho and Hubspot. Hubspot is easier to use but Salesforce can do way more once you learn how to use it. Salesforce can easily scale with your growing company. I found Zoho very complicated to use. They are a growing …

Salesforce Analytics Cloud is easier to integrate with Salesforce since it has a native integration and connection point. It does lack in functionality compared to heavy tools like Tableau and Microstrategy. If you want more functionality and are not currently using Salesforce …

The reason is that this requires less development and is more of a point and click system that every user will enjoy more.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics

Google Charts is perfectly suited for most presentations that are data oriented. There's not much of a limit on the type of table or chart you can create, and being able to integrate with Google Sheets just makes things even easier if you've already got the data stored somewhere. It works well on desktop browsers, Iphones, and Android phones. The only drawback I've been able to find is for those that prefer to have a desktop application.

Cons
  • I would like a couple more introductory videos or a live chat option for when you run into an issue. I think this is a Google-wide problem, not only linked to Google Charts.
  • I have run into some issues with the Dynamic Data but also admittedly could potentially dive in deeper and investigate.
  • It would be great if Google Charts made it possible to integrate Google Chat into the platform.

  • Implementation takes time and resources. It is a heavy lift to implement and at first, it can take a little bit of time to understand what you are looking at. But once it's implemented it's easy to get started.
  • Without any BI expertise or resources available to your organization, the implementation of this is difficult. If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first.
  • Their support is not on hand to help you if you encounter any issues, at least not on all the plans or the basic plans. Real-time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help or pay extra money.
  • More functionality for the tool is needed to compete with other heavyweights in the arena like Tableau, Qlik, and Microstrategy. Still lacks the robustness, functionality, and flexibility other competing products possess.

Google Charts is a good product. It's widely supported with deep documentation and a large community. But for me, it wasn't customizable enough. When we started with simple charts, it was great, but as we got deeper and more complex, our needs outgrew the library. If I was going forward, I would choose a more barebones library with more freedom and extensibility.

Usability
Requires knowledge of Javascript, which can be difficult for a beginner. A business analyst often isn't as technically minded as a developer so collaboration is often required to produce a correct chart for the purpose required. However, the customisation capable due to this creates much better looking charts compared to other tools.

Overall usability is absolutely worth the price. It help me to save tons of time working on raw data in Excel file. It also minimize the discrepancy in data format when there are multiple user inputting the data. Every data inputted in Salesforce is standardized, therefore it is very easy to keep track / generating performance report even though you are having more than 20 projects recorded in Salesforce Einstein Analytics.

An implementation partner would certainly result in greater output in a more efficient amount of time. However, I have found implementation partners to be extremely expensive for the output received (at least working for a non-profit company they are frequently unaffordable). Internal implementation does help with usable output though since internal knowledge would better know the data architecture and business processes

Compared to Tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are planning to use the data in salesforce. Also, that is under the assumption no further transformation is needed.
