Hi all,
I may be biased, but I like the StripChart available in epicsQt.
The user guide is available here
https://github.com/qtepics/qeframework/blob/master/documentation/Strip_Chart_User_Guide.pdf
It displays both live and archive data – the later currently from the
Channel Access archiver, however integration
with Archive Appliance going well and hope to get that released by June.

We're in that boat as well, if anybody has suggestions.

Depending on what you're looking for, you might find the StripChart tool
at https://github.com/pyepics/epicsapps/tree/master/StripChart useful.
This can connect to multiple PVs and gives a real-time plot their recent
history, and supports saving images or plaintext files of the data. If
it is missing features or there are things you don't like about it, it
is only 700 lines of Python, which means that a) you don't need to rely
on unsupported X11 apps at all, and b) that you could probably get a
summer intern to modify or completely rewrite it.
