Any suggestions for alternatives? It seemed to make sense because I am reporting percentages that add up to 100%.

You can replace the pie chart with a bar chart and it will be an improvement (might not be a good option but its pretty much always better than the pie chart).

Human eyes aren't that good at viewing certain stuff. They suck at comparing colours/shades/areas, lengths with different starting points, and a bunch of other stuff.

Pie charts basically use most of the aspects that we suck at viewing.

Few categories, totalling 100%, one of the few legit uses of this chart.
