Success Stories

The ultimate test of any solution is how it performs for customers.  Here is what some users are saying about EspressChart.

	Our plan was to integrate advanced statistical reporting into the BrandMaster platform to give users complete insight into marketing operational efficiency.  We needed a Web-based charting solution that was easy to integrate into our environment, and provided the statistical charting features we needed.  After an extensive evaluation of various tools, Quadbase's EspressChart came out way ahead.

	We were working on a project that requires extensive compilation of customers network traffic data and representation of same in different graph formats.  For this we needed a Java based charting tool which can generate complex graphs.  After extensively evaluating several tools we found that EspressChart suits our needs the best.  We were able to built a prototype very quickly.  Tech support was excellent.  They always promptly respond with answers and sample code when needed.  If you need a Java charting tool that is versatile, easy to use, rich in features and delivers great performance, then EspressChart is for you.

	If you are searching for a Java charting tool that is easy to use, develop and deploy into your Internet application, I would highly recommend that you consider Quadbase's EspressChart.  Without this great charting tool, we would not have been able to complete the e-Metrics project in a tight 3 week deadline as set forth by our global Fortune top 10 client.  The open and flexible design of EspressChart API is particularly important to the success of our project.  The product has many great features but comes with a very reasonable price.  I am equally impressed by the professional support that Quadbase has been providing to us during the evaluation, development and post implementation phase of the project.  Keep up the good work team!

	We are using Espress Chart in our latest release of our "Process Performance Manager".  The Process Performance Manager (PPM) automatically identifies performance data from company processes, especially those which span systems, and thus makes it possible to analyze them.  This information can be gathered from software systems, for example, for ERP, SCM, CRM, e-Business, or workflow management.  PPM provides information that helps to uncover weaknesses in process handling and to optimize throughput times.  It acts as an early warning system by monitoring business processes.  The information is available by a web client and the data is displayed in business charts.  After a careful selection process of avaliable chart libraries for Java we decided to use Espress Chart as is allows an easy integration of professional charts in our Java application.

	We are responsible for Capacity Planning and Monitoring of 4 large mainframe computers based in 4 different data centres and 3 different time zones running thousands of programs in parallel 24 hours a day every day accessing dozens of very large databases adding up to many terabytes of data.  These IT systems are very complex and getting to fine-tune the environments and influencing the design of programs which are implemented on them is a very difficult task ... we have no time to lose with extra complexity!  The simplicity, modularity, and quality of the charts produced by EspressChart was the perfect product for our Intranet-based analytical tools, just insert one line of code, put the data in, and boom, you have a trend chart telling you a very informative story!!  The learning curve is almost laughable (1 day!), and the results are amazing!!

	Analysis of statistical data is now quick and painless.  Using Java's JDBC and the table capabilities in combination with EspressChart charting API we were quickly able to develop a Java application that retrieves data from a database and displays selected data for visual analysis.  While other charting packages failed to draw more than 100 data points, we were able to chart over 4100 data points in a single chart.  And the nice thing about it we were able to figure out a way to use the Espresschart utilities and create a ZOOMing feature.  Now, with EspressChart one can view thousands of items for a quick overview and then ZOOM in to specific areas for detailed analysis.  Whether you are developing Java applets or applications, with its improved and smaller footprint JAR files, this product is worth looking into.  Most important, the Quadbase support people have been willing to assist me even during the evaluation period.

	After careful evaluation of several charting tools, Caribou Lake Software recommended EspressChart for a client's web site displaying vital clinical trial test result information.  The chart displays all test results and highlights the results that may be too high or too low that may adversely affect the patient's health.  With the quick generation of the chart, the user is quickly made aware of any harmful/critical situations. One of the major advantages EspressChart had is that it is 100% Java.  More was found easily on the Quadbase.com site that answered many questions before even talking with the Sales department.  The product has numerous examples, features and excellent technical support.  I highly recommend anyone to try out the demo and see all that you can do!

	I need a Java-based server side web charting tool, it should be simple to use and powerful APIs to draw 2D or 3D charts on the transactional web pages.  After searching and comparing half dozen of charting tools, I choose EspressChart.  It not only meets my requirement but also there is a very professional support team behind the product.  Every time when I have a technical question, they respond in a very sufficient way!  I highly recommend EspressChart as your web charting solution.

	Congratulations on an excellent product! We are delighted with how easy it is to whip up ad-hoc charts from our database, using the JDBC driver from our database vendor.  It's as simple as specifying the database query and choosing the chart type, and voila, EspressChart produces a beautiful graphical representation of the data.  Then we just add a title, and maybe tweak a few of the chart options, and then we can publish the chart as an applet on the Web.  Because we use the template feature, each time the chart is viewed on the Web, it's automatically updated with the latest data from our database! The product seems very well designed and thought out.  It is also very robust.  The database connectivity, graph generation, publishing to the Web, all are all fabulously smooth, stable, straightforward and intuitive to setup and use.  We love how easy it is to publish dynamic charts to the Web with no programming, but we're also glad that the product is fully programmable with an API, so that in the future we'll be able to leverage the full power of the product to produce sophisticated, dynamic and interactive charts integrated into some of our own Web/Java applications. We are currently using EspressChart to display MIS charts, but if the product continues to perform as impressively as it has so far, we intend to integrate it into our online service to provide charts and graphs to our 10,000 small business customers who use our Web, email and E-commerce hosting services. Each time I contacted your sales or support departments, I received instantaneous, courteous, professional, and expert responses.  Congratulations on a world-class company with a top-notch product.

	Verizon chose EspressChart after performing an evaluation of every Java graphing package we could find on the Web.  We needed a superior graphing product to speed our time to market with service offerings for Network Management, and EspressChart provided a powerful and flexible set of core Java functionality along with an easy-to-use UI.

	Cerner Health Facts chose EspressChart after evaluating several other competitive Java Chart Components.  We come to the conclusion that EspressChart best fits our needs because it has a lot of variety of Charts, awesome features, great technical support, and it's easy to use.  We highly recommend EspressChart as your Java charting solutions.

	After researching 7 other dynamic charting tools for the Web, I found EspressChart was the only one that met my needs. The Chart Designer allows a novice user to easily create a dynamic chart, while those needing additional functionality and control can use the Java API which includes great features like customizable trendline analysis.  I think EspressChart is a great product.

	We use EspressChart to monitor paging traffic and track the peak usage of our product, on a daily basis, by accessing our SQL database.  It is important to be able to display this information on our intranet and to view up-to-the-minute, fresh data.  EspressChart gives us this dynamic ability.  After a comparison with several charting tools, including NetCharts and JChart, we found that EspressChart was the most user-friendly and flexible.  Also, we liked that the Chart API is readily available. EspressChart works really well with the architecture in Symantec’s Visual Cafe.  Overall, we like the functionality of the product and strongly recommend it.
