Fusion Charts for dashboarding
I’ve been working alot with Fusion Charts lately and found that Fusion Charts is able to produce the Wow factor that most of the other big name dashboarding tools produce.
FusionCharts comes in a free version and a professional version. The free version comes with 18 charts however these charts are quite bland and I would recommend buying a license for the professional version since you are able to control many more aspects in the charts such as gradients, shadows, drilldowns, etc. In addition, the professional package comes with 45 charts.
To get started, you only need to know a simple amount of HTML and how to configure the FusionChart tags on your page. It doesn’t have the drag and drop GUI other tools such as Xcelsius have but for developers that have some programming background, this should be simple.
