About CanvasJS Charts

CanvasJS is a data visualization tool that helps businesses render charts utilizing various frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue and more. It comes with multiple themes, which allows users to create charts with a large volume of data points.

CanvasJS's interactivity functionality lets businesses reposition data points on a chart by dragging them across the plot area on the graphs. The charts library enables users to generate graphs in formats including line, area, column, pie, doughnut, scatter, whisker and bubble, among other categories. Additionally, users can utilize getter/setter methods to read or write properties for various chart elements such as minimum/maximum axis value, titles, data series and more.

It comes with an application programming interface, which allows businesses to integrate the system with several third-party solutions. It is available on a perpetual license and support is extended via live chat, email, documentation and other online measures.

If they would deliver the software I paid for I think it would work well, but taking my money and not delivering the product gets 1 stars everywhere.

Pros:

The trial version made nice charts. IT seemed like a good fit for our project but the customer service has been zero help.

Cons:

They won't give me my license. Nowhere in the ordering process did they say that delivery would be delayed. It has been over 24 hours and I'm still waiting.

Vendor Response

Dear Steve, We sincerely apologize that you had to face delays in accessing the product. The scenario was not in our hand. The ordering system is completely automated and you get access once your payment is confirmed. In your case unfortunately your order was on-hold by payment gateway's fraud check algorithms. It was one of the rare occurrences. We did respond back to you and provided manual access to CanvasJS commercial version. We are also in process of changing current payment gateway so that others users never have to face such issue. We would request you to reconsider your review, keeping in mind about all the CanvasJS features and not just this indecent. - Team CanvasJS

CanvasJS Trail Evaluation

CanvasJS Charts in my opinion, is probably one for the best charting solutions out there. They offer a variety of charts, giving the best possible view for your data. Once the charts are up and running and you have a understanding of the charts, it becomes a lot easier to manage and to achieve your desired outcome. I also appreciate the fact that consideration is taken for personal use, and that one isn't loaded with a hefty price tag when using the graphs for personal use.

Functionality

Pros:

The charts are very clean and crisp. Large variety of charts allowing you to find the perfect chart for what you are presenting. Filtering on charts give them a "Live" and Dynamic feel even if you are displaying static data. Quick response to queries.

Cons:

Initially the charts are not the easiest to get up and running, making it difficult to evaluate effectively, however this could possibly also be due to my level of experience. The support team seems reluctant to assist you if you are a trail user, which is understandable as they need to make a profit, that said it does restrict you in properly evaluating the software.

Nice plugin with a lot of options

We used CanvasJS for a university project which requires graphing many points (+- 10.000) at quite a fast refresh interval (30 fps), and CanvasJS was able to handle this just fine. It is also very nice that you can change a lot about the design/colors of the graph to make it look the way you like it.
