Fantastic open source software with great community

  • January 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is the premier IDE for R. I love that it is open source and that they hire great people to make the R ecosystem better. The interface itself is intuitive and easy to use, with an interactive window, a code window, and a window for figures and plots.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had a few problems with RStudio freezing or closing when using it on Linux. It has the same problems as Jupyter where it can lead to bad programming practices since code can be run out of order and the environment can get into a state that is difficult to reproduce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an academic researcher and I use Rstudio for doing analysis of online communities.

A great tool for utilizing R

  • January 30, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is probably the best IDE for developing in R.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that some of the shortcut icons are not entirely intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving problems related to data visualization for medical & pharmaceutical research. Some benefits are the basic aspects of any IDE that are native to R Studio.

The Best Software Package for R programming and Analysis

  • January 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, installing new packages and viewing console and all kinds of graphs/plots to visualize data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to manage many R files together and using the interface on small screens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
R Studio is being used in Exploratory Data Analysis of Students that take admission at USC. Its ease of use is the best benefit of R Studio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definately learn R programming and use this software for all kinds of manipulations.


    Education Management

Great Platform for data Analysis

  • January 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about RStudio is the ease of access. The ease with which data can be converted from one form to another and expressed. It is also an extremely fast language to learn and very large statistical and relational operations can be performed very easily. It is extremely beginner friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Writing functions for existing algorithms from scratch is difficult. There is a shortage of comprehensive single documentation. Resources for different functions are very scattered around the web.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved a financial market prediction business problem with RStudio and RStudio has very good functions to build models for prediction and other machine learning problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR A BEGINNER

Easy to use with Github

  • January 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The great integration with Github allows easy collaboration with colleagues
What do you dislike about the product?
The uneasiness in switching from one project to another and work directories is really difficult to manage
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analytics algorithms such as Linear and Logistic regression


    Research

My favorite framework

  • January 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface, usability and the simple package structure that doesn't require deep programming language.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the way how the errors are described. It appears to be very uninformative, the error messages are usually encrypted giving no clue where to look for a mistake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio provides an excellent platform for data analytics and visualization, which is especially valuable when working with big data. I am working with patients sequencing data (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics), building models predicting metabolic processes within the gut microbiome.

Great IDE and package management platform

  • January 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and customizability. The number of packages being developed is amazing and the community is incredibly supportive.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing, honestly nothing. Maybe the fact that RstudioConf only happens once a year...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a data analyst and Rstudio is my primary modeling platform for the problems we solve. Ease of sharing code, great reproducibility especially with R markdown notebooks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! It's great!


    Research

Tool for data analysis

  • January 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Some of the packages for data analysis and visualization are pretty. There are tons of packages almost one for every purpose you can image.
What do you dislike about the product?
The coding language is not very intuitive and user friendly. Sometimes rather unnecessarily vague, but definitely not easy if you are used to oo programming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Text analysis of reviews, preparing dashboards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Might require sometime to get used to the coding in R, but if you can adapt might be useful.

Exquisite

  • January 18, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely simple, yet complex. It's extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There honestly is nothing that I dislike about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of the problems. R is so much more useful than other analytics programs because you can automate everything.

R studio has made coding in R easier

  • January 18, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
An excellent R IDE for beginner and expert alike. A ton of useful features that makes using R extremely easy, such auto-completion, documentation browser, R Notebooks functionality, data viewer, debugging and build tools, GitHub integration, and more. Doesn't hurt that it looks good too, with the available themes. It makes managing all of my active data objects, visualizations and packages extremely easy. It is worth mentioning it is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a little slow and sometimes glitchy. For example, the data viewer often cannot hand large data samples. Will sometimes crash for no particular reason. The R Notebooks functionality, though still very useful, is currently buggy and missing obvious features - could be much better!
Furthermore, there are some features that are lacking compared to a customizable text editor such as Atom. Given the nature of the disk drives and as the data tends to be rewritten after a while in the spaces freed by the table of contents (TOC), it is mostly useful when the recovery happens almost immediately after the event, which limits the recovering power of real old data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have done my bioinformatics project by R and it was so easy to write the code.
