Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Adds a pie chart directly inside a dashboard component and supports data source selection, filtering, slice grouping, pie or doughnut type, sorting, style adjustment, and image export.	Microsoft supports inserting pie charts in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with data labels, styles, and filters, mainly around document or spreadsheet chart editing.	Google supports pie charts in spreadsheets with label and positive numeric columns, plus slice labels, doughnut hole, titles, and legend customization.	Notion provides chart views for databases, including donut charts, grouping, sorting, labels, and export, but charts are tied to database views rather than standalone dashboard components.	Adobe Express supports adding charts to designs, filling in labels, values, and legends, then exporting the result, with a stronger focus on visual design workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: It keeps component insertion, data setup, style adjustment, and image export in one dashboard workflow, which is practical for ongoing proportion tracking.	Compared with WPS: It is more centered on charts inside documents, presentations, or spreadsheets, with less emphasis on dashboard-style component management.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on spreadsheet chart creation and formatting, rather than component-based dashboard management.	Compared with WPS: Donut charts support database visualization, but the Free Plan allows one chart trial and the chart experience depends on database views.	Compared with WPS: It is useful for fast visual asset creation, but official guidance is less focused on analytical dashboard configuration.

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical choice when you want to manage proportion-based charts inside the same Smart Spreadsheet dashboard where the data is reviewed. Other products fit well for document editing, spreadsheet collaboration, database views, or design-oriented chart output.
