Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Progress Chart component in the smart spreadsheet dashboard, with settings for data source, target value, current value, sorting, style, and image export. | Word supports inserting charts, editing chart data, changing layouts and styles, and adding titles or labels, mainly for charts inside documents. | Google Sheets supports data visualization, chart creation, and collaborative analysis for online spreadsheets. | Notion supports chart views for databases, including bar, line, donut, and number charts, with filtering and style options. | Acrobat focuses on PDF creation, editing, conversion, and document workflows rather than a dashboard-style progress chart component. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct dashboard-oriented progress chart workflow with one place to configure data, adjust style, and export the result as an image. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft Word chart features are more document-centered and do not focus on a dashboard progress widget workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is stronger for collaborative spreadsheet analysis, while the official page does not present a dedicated dashboard progress chart entry. | Compared with WPS: Notion charts are tied to database views; free users can try one chart, while broader chart creation is tied to paid plans. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat centers on PDF tasks instead of dashboard-based progress chart setup. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need to show completion rates quickly in a Mac dashboard, adjust the chart appearance, and export the result as an image, WPS offers a workflow that is closely aligned with that use case. The other products also provide chart or visualization features, but their official positioning is more focused on document charts, online spreadsheet collaboration, database views, or PDF workflows.
