We OEM FusionCharts into our solution which is then utilized by our clients and their clients. Charts look professional and provide enough options to compliment our overall reporting and visualization offering
Puntos en contra
There is some upfront work on our end to integrate into our solution set but this would be the case with other charting packages as well
Great product .. does what it advertises and allows great eye candy charts to be created
Puntos a favor
the breadth of the charts and the customization that is available. I imbed it in my dashboard product and can create great dashboards with the library
Puntos en contra
the customization can be daunting. I find myself doing a lot of the customizations by trial and error. The documentation is very thorough and complete but it is difficult to find what you may need for a specific chart customization. Also the library seems to be on an 1+ yr update schedule. I'd like to see more frequent updates. Some charts obvious customizations are not available. For example on the column2D chart you can change the color of each bar but the color of the text for each bar to set for the whole chart .. should be customizable as well.

Amazing Charting Software
We have used Fusion products now for almost 7 years and have been very pleased with their service and their products. We expanded our usage of their products several times. Each time we purchased more charts from them, they were attentive and flexible, and found creative ways to accommodate our special needs.
Puntos a favor
We are impressed by the wide variety of charts available and are pleased that the company is continuing to introduce new charting capabilities like the Fusion Time Series. The Fusion Charts were easy to integrate with our people management software and they work as expected. They have added a whole new dimension to our own product line.
Puntos en contra
The animation aspects of the software presented some challenges.
Provides good graphics on our website
Keeps our website running and providing for most users what they want
Puntos a favor
Flexible and reliable. Provides most of the graphic options that we need on our website. We have not had a survey of website users to better understand pros and cons, but perhaps no news is good news from users.
Puntos en contra
technical issues have to be dealt with by our website contractor, which costs extra. In addition there is a delay often at the most inconvenient time. We are not really aware of any alternative that is available to use.
Long time user
Our clients use the charts daily to report on their business health
Puntos a favor
Fusion Charts have been integral in our SAAS product for over 10 years which is a recommendation enough of itself. The charts are pleasing to the eye and have a useful feature set for our clients.
Puntos en contra
The annual licence fees are very steep and there is also no reward for long-time users. If we had known about this aspect before implementation I might not have been doing this review today.
Well supported charting solution
I have used fusion charts to create several reports in our application. This library is packed with features to create simple charts. Our company only has the basic FusionCharts license so we have not been able to create everything we wanted. Some charts and a lot of other widgets are not available unless you buy a license for the full suite.
Puntos a favor
FusionCharts has a lot of options and customisations available for creating any report. The documentation is good and they keep full documentation for every version
Puntos en contra
Some of the charts in the next tier should be in the base tier. There are free alternatives on the market now that are high quality so FusionCharts needs to be very affordable
Love Fusion. Created two client-driven statusing dashboard - met our needs and well beyond.
So much in terms of being able to effectively communicate status with our customer in a live interactive way.
Puntos a favor
Flexibility in design. Interactive nature. Color schemes. Clickable data. Dashboard layouts. Font variety.
Puntos en contra
Complexity of development customization. Took our team a bit to get the gist of Fusion in terms of what it provided out of the box, and what our team needed to do to customize to our needs.
Amazing!
Visualize and make sense of day to day metrics
Puntos a favor
Easy to create reports from data. We use them with MySQL + PHP and it is surely he most elegant and easy to use graphical report display software I have implemented to date.
Puntos en contra
Sometimes, with a lot of data points, it will be slow to show the reports. It would be awesome if there was a "loading" graphic.
A good tool to have.
Overall I think the software is really useful, there will always be a few issues with everything as nothing is perfect but I have not had any that stop me from doing my work.
Puntos a favor
The software is simple to use, works well and looks good. I can use it for 99% of my tasks and can customize it and have a nice setup where I can give it my data and automatically generate my charts
if I have any problems the support team is always there with a solution or alternative if it's not possible it tends to be in development already. the software is also flexible and I can use it to create more.
Puntos en contra
At first, the software was a little tricky but once I figured it out I can now use it really easily. sometimes the support take a while to get back to me but this is rarely an issue. I have had an issue with the charts fitting into elements but with some work, I managed.
Fantastic. We could get the charts and dashboards running with minimal setup.
Puntos a favor
Wide range of charts to pick from and the documentation. The community is active and support helps a lot.
Puntos en contra
There are some font issues and resizing issues that we are facing. But nothing which is super annoying
Easy to use, great widgets for KPI Charts
Puntos a favor
The software was easy to use, pull into our application and get KPI Charts available for our end users.
Puntos en contra
I don't have any complaints about FusionCharts.
Happy with it

Nothing comes to my mind now. its been working great for us.
Best charting tool
Puntos a favor
I've used FusionCharts for integration with Pentaho and it is a great tool! There are plenty of graphical representations available for usage.
Puntos en contra
Out of the box support for integrating with common third party tools would be a great addition to this software.
FusionCharts and FusionTime
Puntos a favor
- Customization
- Variety of charts
- Good documentation (at least XT Suite)
- Easy to use with every kind of framework
Puntos en contra
- Not so complete documentation (FusionTime)
- Properties in the documentation are using lower-camel-case.
- Properties in the theme classes are all lower-case.
- Some properties are in quotation marks, some are not.
This mix is very confusing and got me even some bugs when I copied a theme and had a "yaxis" and a "yAxis" configuration for my chart.
Very Powerful Charting Engine
Puntos a favor
Tons of options regarding chart style, interactivity, etc. Somewhat similar to the Google Charts API, except that it's hosted on your own server, which means no dependence on Google or an outside connection. The engine can handle charting requests from multiple applications. The engine produces very high quality graphics, though it can take some time to get your chart looking and acting exactly how you want it (that's both a pro and a con, depending in the complexity of your needs).
Puntos en contra
Somewhat pricey, considering Google Charts API is free. Can be complicated to get the charts set up exactly the way you want them (that's a con and a pro, as it depends on how complicated a chart you want).
FusoinCharts for React Native
It was very easy for us to implement the graphs we needed for our React Native application. We are very happy with the decision to select FusionCharts.
Puntos a favor
We could not find any other library with better support for React Native. We are planning to use it for our react clients as well so support for React was also an important factor.
Puntos en contra
They can always continue to add more types of Graphs, but their current library was more than enough for our needs and it was a very easy implementation so we don't have any particular cons to share.
easy JS librairie to create charts
as we work in market research field using fusioncharts helped me create website for study results for the custommers it present the statistics with a lot of features and animations
Puntos a favor
the ease of integration with most platforms in my case microsoft .net and PHP the documentation and exemples are really clear and helpful
Puntos en contra
i had some problemes with internet explorer and the export features isnt as good as other programs also it will be better if we can find messages in frensh or other languages belt in in the system
A great charting package, but a little rough around the edges
It was a ton easier than starting with a blank slate or an open-source charting platform.
Puntos a favor
Tons of features and settings, nice API and incredibly helpful documentation. You can also create themes which is really, really, really nice.
Puntos en contra
It is a little buggy and a little dated looking. It has some problems with responsive and it's not the easiest to get setup.
Had to look up a few things to get started, but overall a really good product.
Puntos a favor
It creates colorful, animated charts with lots of customization options. There is a good range of charts to choose from even with just the basic package.
Puntos en contra
There's a bit of a learning curve to get started. I was not accustomed with XML or JSON, and you pretty much have to know one or the other to make significant progress. There were some things I wished I could do with the charts that were not configurable options in the basic package.

So far, so good!

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been very helpful (and continues to be) answering development questions and supporting us as we integrate FC into our platform.
Puntos en contra
Documentation seemed a bit out of date for a few charts and had to go an extra mile to debug problems I ran into. That said, the examples work great out of the box through a simple copy, paste, and run.
Robust, but complicated
Puntos a favor
Lots of possibilities, good documentation, reasonably flexible, can be customized for specific and unique implementations
Puntos en contra
Very expensive solution, not easily used with most popular CMS on the planet - Wordpress, probably would not recommend
Product and support have been very good and continue to get better release by release
