overall i feel that google charts is a very good option for simple and very effective visual and chart preparation but more themes and more charts types need to be made available.
Pros
The interface is very simple and easy to use. I also liked the immense customization tools available that helps me personalize the handle according to my needs. The data visualization is very good indeed and very helpful in creating impressive anyalytics.
Cons
Talking about the things that i did not like would include limited data resources and limited chart types. i think that more themes of chart need to be made available so that different themes and occasions needs can be fullfiled.

My overall experience was very good, expecting some little bit changes in GUI and minimum network range, rest all is perfect.
Pros
It is very easy to use, can be used at any time, anywhere and freely accessible. I mainly like it's auto saving feature in google cloud which is a lot of helpful tool to me.
Cons
But,I am disappoint in few fields of this application that it some times lags a lot and it also requires a stable and proper internet connection for loading the chart or else you will see different errors at same time, which irritates a lot.

The end results are very professional looking. However the general public won't be able to produce these charts for their websites until it is made MUCH more user friendly.
Pros
It is extremely customizable and adaptable to a variety of situations. There are dozens of different chart types, and lots of options for how you want your data displayed with the chart. Changes on your website happen in real time.
Cons
This software is very inaccessible to beginners in html/css as well as any casual website editors. In a world where more and more people are able to create websites through visual editors without knowing any code at all, Google Charts is reminiscent of a past where only coders could build websites. All of the guides were written by coders for coders. It basically just gives you sample snip-bits of code for each chart type and tells you to customize it yourself. There isn't any kind of sandbox area to test out your code attempts within the app either, nor any links to resources to teach yourself code either.
It also doesn't explain important information about later down the pipeline, for after you finish your chart and want to post it on your website. Many commonly-used website building platforms don't allow users to directly use CSS, and sometimes not even HTML either. In order to add your chart to such websites, you will need third-party plugins.

My overall experience with google charts has been amazing. I used to create all my charts in Microsoft Excel until I discovered Google Charts, and I am completely stuck with it now. The ease of customizing my work and sharing it directly from source with my colleagues has been a welcome change from the drag of doing the same things with excel.
Pros
Like most google products, one of the best aspects of Google Charts is how extremely easy it is to setup and get comfortable using. Having come from a Microsoft Excel background, my learning curve literally took me about 3 minutes. And oh, the best feature of Google Charts has to be that its free and still manages to outperform almost all its rival products.
Cons
I often do not like to register any complaints about free-to-use software that are able to perform fairly well. And google charts does more than perform fairly, it is absolutely awesome. My only suggestion would be to create an offline version with the same full range of functionality.

Google Charts helps us provide graphics for intra-company presentations, where data can be quickly assembled and graphed in order to shed light on trends, ideas, or capabilities pertaining to opinions or data. There's not hard-and-fast way to use Google Charts, but we have found that it is a comfortable and capable way to express data visualization for many different situations.
Pros
I love that Google Charts is so easily customized. I can show the amount of data downloaded on a weekly basis in a bar chart, or I could just as easily throw onto a shared screen the results of a company-wide poll on what's we want for catering next week. With this much ability, Charts is a fun and effective method of showing everyone their personal analytics.
Cons
Google Charts is hard to make very precise plots on. The axis configuration options are limited, the colorbars are typically set automatically, and the chart plot size and line shape/weight is often lacking in options. The surface role of the software is to show, not to explain.
