Clean big-data projects with RStudio
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is an open source software, which is great because it counts with tons of documentation and tutorials that can be found online. RStudio somehow makes a complex language like R to be simple, as it handles the right statistical data for developers. Among its greatest tools is the full text editor, that helps to manipulate data quickly, which is one of the most time-consuming tasks for any automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
R is a very complex language that you will need to take some time to learn in order to properly use RStudio. I feel this tool still feels a bit limited, as all the add-ons and environments don’t seem to provide the desired customization. The package finder is one of the most confusing tools to use. If they could make it more intuitive, it would really help. Also, I have run into some bugs which are very difficult to debug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The IT department of my organization implemented RStudio with the objective to clean big-data projects while working in a private consulting setting. After using it for a couple of years, I’d say RStudio simplified the process of creating arrays, combining data and importing multiple data sets, making it very easy to understand due to the visual layout of the program. The transition from users that are not familiar with the R language is great, as RStudio has each item visually identifiable. It comes with some great features, like the added dictionary feature built into the interface, that has come to be very useful for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
RStudio is a great option for companies looking for a statistical software, data analysis and data visualization. The results you’ll get from RStudio could be very important in making business decisions. Also, if you need to extract valuable metadata from various type of documents, RStudio could be helpful to develop scripts in R.

Best Data Science tool
What do you like best about the product?
The cross-disciplinary tool between data, geospatial information, and web mapping
What do you dislike about the product?
Fewer tutorials for beginners to learn and get familiar with the product. Setting a 10-short-video startup to get the layman person to be familiar with the software is key as big data is becoming an important component in the private sector
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big Data analysis looking at health and economic characteristics in geographies of the US Midwest
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start by solving a sample case from an online forum to understand how to talk to the tool
R is a great program
What do you like best about the product?
It has dynamic statistical ability, and capacity
What do you dislike about the product?
Its coding language is easy to learn, but could be more visual
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Healthcare inefficiencies
More user-friendly than R
What do you like best about the product?
It's open-source and there are plenty of packages for whatever data analysis technique you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's more user-friendly than R, but it's still pretty hard to use. The online guides aren't very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for regression analysis of industrial/organizational psychology data. It's been pretty helpful for viewing and displaying my results.
Free Statistical Analysis Software
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is a free, open-source software that is as capable as industry-standard softwares, that cost thousands of dollars.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updating RStudio can cause some packages to stop working if they are not compatible with the new version. You are also required to install all packages after a system update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio has allowed my team to conduct thorough analyses without the cost of industry-standard softwares. Programs can be shared easily between users, allowing multiple team members to utilize pre-written code, saving time and money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are multiple resources online to help troubleshoot code when errors arise.
The open source program
What do you like best about the product?
You can instantly input a function and the perfect result comes ut.
What do you dislike about the product?
How it is difficult to learn at first because it has a variety of functions you have to memorize and certain prerequisite inputs you need for the other inputs to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to formulate statistical charts and graphs to help produce a better result. This thorough result is then given to my superior.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to watch a lot of youtube tutorials.
Much-improved IDE with room to improve further
What do you like best about the product?
I like the RStudio IDE because it provides a helpful interface for data wrangling, data visualization, and data analysis purposes. Especially helpful are the alert features for typos and missed commas or parentheses as well as a number of hover-and-click options for many data management work.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, my most disliked feature of the IDE is the very slow data viewer. While it's not great practice to rely on viewing the data frame in its entirety, it still helps at times to do so and the viewer can use a speed boost since there tends to be a lag in loading data frame items even for relatively small data frames.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization
Recommendations to others considering the product:
RStudio is definitely a must and is likely the industry standard for working with R.
Incredible tool for coding in R
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is perfect to code in R. It provides one with a great GUI, for coding, and lets you run through reams of data quickly. Further, using the Knitr package one can make pdf copies of the output, and also make html copies of the code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that unlike lets say visual studio, the interface does not give real time feedback with issues with the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using the tool to do RFM analysis for pushing out digital marketing communication to potential clients. The RFM analysis helps in providing one with a response rate which might be better than the response rate one could earn by pushing out digital communication to everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I love the product for its ease of use and real time feedback and response to codes. If you really want to use an R product to code, you should consider R Studio for its interface.
Editor for unexperienced R users
What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly and comparable to simpler coding languages, free software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have struggled in the past with using different packages, there is some difficulty in uploading them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio provides an easy to use environment for coding, the ability to edit coding allows for much better and more complex analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will need a basic understanding of linear models and other statistical techniques, I would suggest Linear Models with R by Faraway.
Great interface for R users
What do you like best about the product?
Years ago I used an interface called R Commander. That kept crashing and had to just use the Gui. Now R has a proper interface outside of just the Gui that integrates everything in one place so you can see exactly what you are working on. Biggest plus... It doesn't crash!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I don't like about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I regularly analyze big data to provide insights to our executive leadership so they know what directions they should take. Having R Studio allows me to store my code and adapt it as needed when particular analyses need to be run again. Plus I can chunk segments of code and run only those parts that I need. In addition, R Studio has a bunch of innovative packages that lets me create dashboards and documents with R script built into it. when it comes time to publish the work, there is not cut and paste. It is all within housed within a single file.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The desktop product is free. There is loads of support in the community. Plus, R Studio also offers server and enterprise solutions to those that need it (pending pricing).
