Customers Testimonials

“We use LightningChart in a C#/WPF environment. Mainly XY, Polar, and 3d views.

Our charting requirements can sometimes be very data intense. We benchmarked LightningChart and other 3rd party charting libraries. LightningChart stood well above the other solutions in performance. And it is not just that it was the clear winner in speed. But some other popular 3rd party solutions could not even finish the tests. They could not handle the extreme load we were throwing at the charts.

Having the combination of high-performance, as well as the ability to style the look and feel of the charts makes for an awesome impact. We enjoy hearing that “wow” or watching the eyebrows go up when people first see some of the data visualizations our app can produce with LightningChart.

And the support is good too. If you have been around for a while, you probably have memories of painful support experiences. You know, the kind that makes you cringe when you realize you have to reach out to “them” again. But with LightningChart, our questions/issues have always been responded to in a friendly and helpful way.

LightningChart is a great product. And the bonus is, a customer-oriented, working-friendly kind of a company backing up their product. Wow 🙂

Highly recommended. Five stars!”

Review from Visual Studio Marketplace

“We’ve been using the WPF version of LightningChart for several years now, and we have never regretted this choice. We use it to visualize sound and vibration data in both 2D and 3D. The chart control is packed with features. It’s extremely fast, but also robust, very flexible and highly customizable. The product comes with a huge set of samples with source code, so getting started is easy. Good support is essential when buying a third party component, and the support given by Arction has really been outstanding. I will strongly recommend anyone looking for an advanced chart control to have a look at LightningChart!”

“My project requires 240 XY graphs, and on each chart at least 144000 points needs to be saved. In the beginning I had some speed issues in the developing project, since other software products I tested couldn’t provide such big data rendering. LightningChart was exactly what I needed. When I was still evaluating LC, I found out that it didn’t get stuck at all even when reading such huge amount of data. GPU acceleration is brilliant!

I think the biggest advantage of Arction is the core technology, billions of points can run smoothly: this is the reason why I chose LightningChart. I was so disappointed to those other products, since their rendering speed didn’t meet my expectation when displaying hundreds of data.

In my project I have mainly used XY features, and in the near future hoping to have a chance to also try LightningChart’s 3D features.”

“After the evaluation of different open source and commercial charting libraries for WPF, LightningChart was the only one truly GPU accelerated, optimized for real-time rendering. All the other charts evaluated use CPU for rendering, which performance can’t compete with GPU accelerated LightningChart and meet the complex business requirements.

For rendering performance, LightningChart is far ahead of all WPF chart controls with tests I made. Even though presenting 1 billion data points real-time, the charts present so easily, very smoothly without flickering or delays.

Because it uses GPU for rendering, my computer’s CPU is left almost idle for other tasks. I don’t need to do any extra work to compensate for deficiencies of the control such as the graphics rendering efficiency. This greatly reduces the difficulty of the implementation and highly improves the speed of the program.

I have to say again that its performance maybe can seckill of all WPF chart controls in the world”

“We utilize WPF as our UI framework to improve the developers’ efficiency. We used other solution which was opensource, but there was some problem in the process of the project, for example, the performance was quite poor, that library didn’t support reverse coordinate and so on. After that, we tried LightningChart and one of its alternatives on the market. We discovered that only LightningChart provides the Logarithmic coordinates, reverse coordinate, and other features which we desired. Also, LightningChart can represent billion of data points at the same time. Therefore, we decided to purchase LightningChart”

“Products developed with LightningChart are highly effective and exceed our customers’ expectations. Compared to other charting components, LightningChart shows significant advantages when presenting a huge amount of data. It allows to visualize and analyses data in a more intuitive way.”

“As the name suggests LightningChart is lightning fast when it comes to rendering large amounts of data. To add to it, behind this excellent product is a very helpful team who are experts in data visualization. The product is highly customizable and already caters to a vast number of requirements which a user may need. But when there is a specific user need, LightningChart team has built it in for us. It’s has been a great experience for us working with them.”

“Its been a wonderful experience with LightningChart for us. We use it with large volume of data in Oil & Gas sector, and the visualization with LightningChart always meets our users performance expectations.”

“We have lots of real time data to display over long periods of time, Lightning chart is the first package we have used that can keep up without getting choppy.” “Their support has also been fantastic.”

“Although I am very hesitant to give our competitors a chance to use this powerful weapon, I am writing this positive review since I am deeply impressed by their professionalism. Thank you, Arction.”

“The latest project I have been working on required performance critical 3D charts. After evaluating many solutions from different vendors, we came across LightningChart. Wow, we were blown away. ”

“LightningChart Ultimate is superb! Its performance, ease of use, customizability, and features blow everything else (I have tried) out of the water…by far! And not only is the chart lightning fast, Arction also provides lightning fast and fantastic support!”

“After comparing and testing many charting tools I can say LightningChart Ultimate is the best (and for our purpose the only) tool I have seen on the market.”

“I have searched long and hard for various options that do chart rendering efficiently and nothing seems as fast as LightningChart – other options don’t even come close; support is very responsive too.”
