Great tool for R programming
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the user interface design. It is it very intuitive with different sections like code, console, file paths, libraries. Another good point is the easy way of searching and installing new libraries that make your work more simple and fast
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't know what to say. I think this tool doesn't have any cons. It is made for any kind of user for beginners and also advanced users and can be used in some many different fields
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast and efficient R programming. It is currently the best and more most famous framework for R development used for big data and business intelligent projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to use but in case you have some problems, you can check the official documentation or even non official. There are a lot of documentation on the Internet.

RStudio review
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is an amazing statistical software to use today. It is not only good for basic data analysis and visualization but also for more sophisticated statistical modeling and inference. I use RStudio for both my research projects and teaching and students love it as well. The best part about RStudio is that it is open-source (hence free). It also has several libraries with built-in functions that are useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing that I dislike about R and RStudio is the file handling aspect. Sometimes files that are read into RStudio need to be manipulated in some ways to apply certain techniques (like ANOVA or Analysis of Variance). I wish this was simpler as in other software packages like SPSS. Another minor thing is that the learning curve may be a little steeper for undergraduate students (every function and use is not as intuitive).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RStudio to perform both simple and complex statistical analyses for my research projects and also teach courses on Business Statistics and Data Science using it. Students love it and it is relatively easy to learn if you have some programming background. RStudio has enabled me to apply different types of statistical and data mining algorithms to different types of data easily and obtain the results that are eay to understand, present, and interpret.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend - it is free for all, which is especially a huge benefit for students. Use it more in classes to expose students to a variety of visualization, modeling and data mining tasks.
Amazing platform for data analytics
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is incredible. I love the fact that it is open source, and works seamlessly with R. There are so many packages developed by others that can be easily obtained from CRAN or Bioconductor, so performing analytics is very intuitive and user-friendly. All the functions also come with good documentation and plenty of examples to follow-along, which was tremendously helpful when I was starting out as a beginner user lats year.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes find that writing your own packages or programs to do computations is not as straightforward. For instance, I tried to write a function that would rank a set of products and perform a similarity calculation between the vendors. Writing new functions from scratch was a bit hard for me as I did not find very good documentation that was easy to follow. I have had to rely on other's packages, which has worked out well too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using RStudio to run predictive analytics, specifically I'm trying to predict sales for a given week based on predictors such as number of visits to our website, what links users click on, their past purchase history, etc. RStudio has very good functions to build regression and machine learning models for such work. I realized that the biggest benefit is that it is free of cost. I was previously using Stata for which I had to pay.
Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
R Studio has a user friendly interface and knowledgeable community for support
What do you dislike about the product?
Not optimized for Mac use, often crashes with new updates until a patch for Macs is found. A few versions have simply never worked well on Mac, so best to wait before updating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small scale data analysis, packages are easy to download, install and use. Packages exist for almost everything
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product! Need R in order to have R Studio. R studio crashes less frequently than R and is easy to use than just the console.
Best programming tool for statistics and analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about R studio is that it is open source. UI is very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The open source edition does not provide priority email support. This is what I dislike about R studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So many benefits. Multiple projects can be created in one go using directories. Errors get easily diagnosed and then fixed within a short period.
Easy to use, clear
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to generate plots within the service
What do you dislike about the product?
Import of data can be cumbersome, difficult to view csv data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to run stats problems
R Studio
What do you like best about the product?
R Studio hosts a variety of tools that makes analytics user friendly and easy to conduct
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve. It’s tough getting started but once you know it, it’s smooth sailing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General analytics. Finding trends in data, confidence intervals.
Easy to use interface for R
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is embedded - logs, plots, code, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
With long running code, sometimes the program crashes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RStudio for biostatistics research at an academic center. It is great for running analytics. .
Excellent freeware for statistics
What do you like best about the product?
I like the power of R code to run powerful analytics in just two lines of code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the ways in which R syntax varies from Python.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved data display challenges by using figure generation tools in R to visualize my data for presenting information at work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get R markdown to be able to make PDF documents straight from your code and learn the basics of LaTex.
Easy, intuitive IDE for R programming
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio's interface is clean, minimalist, and makes writing code easy. Being able to view plots/files, variables, workspace, and command line all at once is helpful. Highlighted text (depending on values, variables, functions etc.) makes singling out comments, files, and numbers easy; this feature is expanded when working in R Markdown and is visually simple. The ability to preview and knit R Markdown documents is useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
RStudio tends to slow down considerably when editing an R Markdown or R Notebook file; I find myself having to write in a basic R script document then transfer over to Markdown once finished. Some useful features are somewhat hidden (ie, "Set Working Directory" is a tiny option in a small menu; it would be nice if this were more notable). The export image feature isn't great, and I usually use an outside utility to preserve image fidelity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio helps our data analysis move quickly. Benefits include increased efficiency and a lower learning curve for writing R code.
