Pros:

I like that it has a lot of customization features (still would love to have much more options!). Once you set up a template of a graph, exchanging data is extremely easy.

Cons:

My problem is really specific - round graphs and text labels just don't work - if you want to make everything readible and lookind nice you have to add your labels seperately which is extremely annoying.

Reasons for switching to Datylon

We were limiting our used software to Adobe only.

Great software, but interface is tricky to understand/use.

Being able to create a chart within Illustrator, then "expand" it and fine-tune customizations is fantastic. Otherwise, I've been exporting charts to .svg and bringing them into Illustrator, which is not as clever.

Pros:

If there is a graph you need to create, Datylon can do it. The types of graphs and customizations for these graphs are nearly limitless.

Cons:

I really struggled to figure out a couple of basic features: it would be great if there were a way to create a histogram from a single column of data. I could not figure out how to do this. You need to create a "count" spreadsheet separately with a linear scale (1,2,3,4,5) according to the bins you want, then hide the x-axis of the resulting graph.I recognize this requires Datylon to perform math/calculations, but it sure would be helpful.Second, I have not figured out how to set the "zero" point for a diverging bar chart - the category/value that separates left and right sides of the chart. I'm wondering if it would be helpful to have, by graph type, a tab with feature settings particular to that graph type. It would clarify which options are available.

Reasons for choosing Datylon

Visually, the graphs look cleaner. The other interfaces can be even more difficult to use.

Pros:

Once you get the hang of it, Datylon is quite easy to use. A lot of styling options are available, and it's easy to edit older files with charts made using Datylon.

Cons:

I would have liked a quick walkthrough and a demo when I started using Datylon. It took a bit of trial and error to figure out how to use the addon in Illustrator.

So much better than built-in Illustrator charting tools

Seems little daunting at first, but eventually started figuring something things out. I worry about my less technical designers getting into this thing. Its need much better tutorials, contextual help, and error handling. Also would like to see a way to do Sankey diagrams built in, and more letter-level control of type (like if I want to bold part of a label, or color a single word or something).

Pros:

I was on a design project that required a lot ofcharts, graphs, and other data visualization. Illustrator's built in tools are very lacking. Loved how many different chart types Datylon had out of the box. Gives designers a lot of options.

Cons:

It's missing an undo feature. I messed something up, and it gives me an error in the plug-in screens but I have no idea where to fix it. Still displays the way i want so I just live with it. Also its a little hard to navigate and understand where the various settings I need are. Really needs contextual tool tips to help explain what everything does (with visual examples).

Reasons for choosing Datylon

Seeing the examples of what you could do. Going to the site and seeing all the template options. I knew it'd have something I could work with.

Pros:

The support provided, and the way a wide array of pre-built charts are provided which can be easily edited (with your own data) to get started. Really accelerated understanding and usage of the software.

After the initial learning curve (which is not that steep), nothing (I like everything about the package).

Functionality

Pros:

I love that I can easily create charts and update the info much more simpler than in the Illustrator chart creation tool. This plug-in is very robust and can do things which not only save a lot of time, like resizing the charts while having the fonts stay the same size, but also enables me to have more control in the design process while creating clear and precise data visualization assets. The more I use it the easier it gets but I can see that it is capable of doing so much more than I utilize it for. I highly recommend Datylon to anyone that needs to create charts for Data Visualization.

Cons:

There's a bit of a learning curve but I've been able to figure out most things thru trial and error and when I can't figure something out the help desk is very helpful in solving the problems.

Reasons for switching to Datylon

To have more control in the design creation of charts that better match our branding.

Must have for data visualisation

Datylon saved my day with big report documents, obtaining excellent results; yet, the learning curve is steep and you have to be creative sometimes to get always what you want from your graphs.

Pros:

Note: I’m a Datylon user in Adobe Illustrator environment. Datylon is great for big report projects: once you have set up your graph, you can apply it to several sets of data without any annoying “reset” issues from the Illustrator Graph tool.

Cons:

The software lacks in consistency of features among the several graph types, especially the “Data label” feature, available only for Line graphs. I’ve been able to work this out by applying a Line graph w/data labels over Candle graphs, but it meant losing a lot of time in setting up both spreadsheets and Datylon graphs; some easy tweaks are not available (i.e.: in Data Labels, it will automatically delete leading zeros, even if the source data is set as text, and you can’t switch it off); in order to solve these issues, you need a good knowledge in both spreadsheet and Illustrator softwares.

Reasons for choosing Datylon

Because of its integration with Adobe Illustrator, its graphic precision and customisation

Hi Alexandros, Great to read you classify us as a "must have". But we acknowledge there is always room for improvement. We do have data labels on all our charts. But we are eager to hear what does not work for you so we can fix it. Don't hesitate to contact us via chat on our website or via getsupport@datylon.com The Datylon Team

Datylon streamlined my workflow of hundreds of charts; final output was InDesign.

I scheduled a meeting with [sensitive content hidden] when I first downloaded the app. I can recommend this to anyone since it greatly shortens the learning curve. After tinkering with the extension for a few hours, I had my workflow figured out and am happy to have saved time using it.

Pros:

Copying charts with the same design elements makes a purchase of Datylon outweigh the costs.

Cons:

It would be nice to find a way to make each chart 's x and y grid lines appear uniform automatically in instances when charts with drastically different x and y values are copied to duplicate visual elements. This is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE MANUALLY.

Reasons for switching to Datylon

I was looking for a graphing tool with professional and modern results.

Pros:

I like the level of customization you can get with this software. Having made visualizations in other software, I think Datylon does a good job of streamlining the process. And I like how much documentation there is online as well. I wish there was a Desktop app that you could use outside of Illustrator or the web browser.

Cons:

I've mostly had issues importing data with excel or csv tables. There are a few other design limitations but generally speaking, I feel like there is a lot you can do!Something else is that if you want to create something outside of the 10 or so main chart types, you need to contact customer support.

Reasons for choosing Datylon

A lot quicker to customize visuals. Using code can be glitchy and time consuming to find the write functions and specifications needed.
