Free, useful, and easy to learn
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is fantastic. It makes writing and implementing code in R a breeze. I like the GUI setup where I can see my console, scripting area, variable list, and plots all on the same screen. Saving files as R projects is also helpful, as is the integration with R Markdown.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to pick something to dislike. Maybe more descriptive error messages?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use R for data cleaning, analyzing, and visualization. It is super handy for manipulating data and customizing visualizations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Learning to code was hard, once you are past the steep learning curve, it’s eas
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m analysing my research data using R
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the resources online to learn
Best IDE for Data Wrangling
What do you like best about the product?
The most intuitive IDE for ingesting, manipulating, and visualizing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing I don’t enjoy about RStudio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m managing a data pipeline more efficiently than before and displaying via Markdown with increased internal customer satisfaction.
Research Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is convenient, with accessible documentation and environment breakdown in the same window as the core script and console.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can do a better job with marketing/distinguishing R against other data analysis languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open source packages have allowed me to find specialized functions for niche subfields in academia. The relative free of cost, except in the cloud, is helpful for a resouce strapped research team!
R and RStudio are the bread and butter for statisticians
What do you like best about the product?
R is a great programming language and R Studio is the only and best IDE for it. Overs the years, the creators of R Studio have constantly brought new improvements and features that have really made my life easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about R Studio is that sometimes it crashes during intensive runs and computations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RStudio every single day to analyze, clean, and understand data. Without R Studio, I would not have a job. It can help me make insights and clean visualizations that I like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More color schemes! There should be more color options than just black and white. Pycharm has pretty good color options.
Updated Coding platform for R
What do you like best about the product?
R Studio, the alternate version of the original "R" application, is definitely new and improved. Instead of having to look at separate windows and copy to run code, it is all in one place simultaneously, which makes every step just that much easier. I had started off using R, but once a professor of mine recommended I use Rstudio, I did not go back to R! Combining all the windows into one was a very necessary change.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes R studio can become a little funky when creating variables/adding new variables to an imported data set, which can be annoying. Also, I wish it was more optimized for excel when copying tables as well but that's just a personal minor issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do like how it shows your variables made on the right-hand side, which ensures me that my variable is indeed in the data set or has been appended to it correctly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be a little overwhelming, as most coding environments are at first, but it is a great coding environment for programming in R
Simplify the process of updating a database
What do you like best about the product?
Knowing the R language and using RStudio allows you to manage data on database, giving the user all the statistical information needed, something especially useful when you’re evaluating historical data. We have used it for ourselves and it has helped us to save a lot of time and advance with our projects. There is only a low risk of losing your information as you’re able to save your codes. Last but not least, RStudio is an open source software.
What do you dislike about the product?
When trying to view large database, sometimes the software doesn’t show all the fields and some information is missing I don't know exactly why this happens, but it's very annoying and it takes too much timeu. Also, I have encountered some bugs that made me return to the terminal and even if it doesn’t happen too often, it's annoying when it does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio is a handy tool when it comes to updating a database, as it makes this process shorter and easier. Not only that, but it simplifies the process of creating and even reading databases. When I’m doing some research work, RStudio shows statistical information, helping me a lot with the overall analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend RStudio for coders and analyst with knowledge on the R language. Once you know this, RStudio is a simply yet useful tool. I prefer this one over other similar software, like Rodeo, because I find Rstudio to be more effective and simpler to use.
Unbeatable IDE for R
What do you like best about the product?
I love the format where one panel is a scripting panel, the lower panel is an execution panel and the right panel is a help panel. I would not use R if it wasn’t for RStudio. The support of R markdown to quickly publish how to manuals about your script has also been indispensable but I have not gotten used to it yet, before this coming from bash scripting in text editors and prototyping using the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not much to dislike about Rstudio. Sometimes when I run a script that is too memory intensive (because of a mistake in the code), I cannot stop the script even by pressing Esc multiple times. This is particularly for graphically intensive tasks like plotting a 20x20,000 heatmap. I would have to kill the Rstudio and lose the variables in my current environment. I am not aware of any collaborative features like Google Code has or something like Google Docs where multiple people can edit at the same time. I am also not sure about how to setup something like RStudio Server, which I've used before when available on the cluster to do more computationally intensive tasks although for those I think it's better to launch the R script in the terminal instead of RStudio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rstudio is a great way to use R to analyze genomics. The reason it is more accessible for genomic data is that there are so many packages written for that purpose and released to Bioconductor package repository, making it very easy to download and use packages out of the box. While Python is a great general purpose language and analyzing strings, I like R because it is what I learned in statistics class because of the inbuilt packages that make statistics in R and big data analysis (even loading a data frame or matrix) readily accessible. While R in itself may be slow in executing tasks compared to other languages, the packages available to R are often written in other languages like C++ so that execution is quick.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you don't execute scripts that you don't have resources for. Before you execute, save local environmental variables so that if your script crashes you can reload the variables without recomputing everything. It can be saved in .Rdata.
RStudio to do the majority of the data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the R programming language in general, because it’s in constant evolution and comes with extensive documentation, which makes it easy to learn and explain. Actions like data preparation are very simple in R because it automates many processes by programming sequences. Besides, it’s able to handle large amounts of data without storage issues, allowing you to do most of your database work faster and smarter, in both the interactive environment and in the scripts. You’re even able to work with your data, figures, analysis and, most importantly, with your instructions. Of course, it’s an open source software and there is always a large community of volunteers working to update it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I love the R language,I still feel Python is a better language, as Python is able to integrate with more apps and solutions than R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio is the tool we use in the IT depatment to do the overwhelming majority of the data analysis, which includes direct mail campaign selection, predictive modeling, statistical analysis and reporting. We chose RStudio because it provides us a single environment to work in, where we can easily do statistical work and reporting. For any of these actions, we would definitely pick and use RStudio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
RStudio is a great option if you want to review statistical databases to simplify your work. If you need to work with certain numbers, RStudio will definitely help to speed up the process.
