Given the number of browsers that block or don't support Flash (Firefox most recently), the number of recent 0-day exploits, and the lack of features currently enabled, I think it is time for Adobe to switch to a different method for generating graphs within the Marketing Cloud.
Moving away has multiple advantages:
- Better cross-browser support, including browsers that don't allow Flash (e.g. mobile)
- Remove the requirement to reload the page just to change the graph type
- Easily save or export the graph without downloading the entire report
Additionally, the following enhancements could be added
- Allow for users to zoom in and out on the graph (within their given date range) to see instances
- Highlight or change the colors of dimensions on the graph
While it is unconventional to request a company to move away from using one of their own products, I think it is time for Adobe Analytics to move away from requiring the use of Flash within their Marketing Cloud products. There are numerous client-side libraries that do a much better job of generating graphs than what is currently implemented.
