Great Platform for R programming

  • April 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
R studio has got the best GUI where we can easily write the codes for our programs.It has many packages which makes it easy for us to code.And it is an open source platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing much i dislike about it.But sometimes if we perform any complex calculations it takes time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rstudio helps me in analysing and visualising the data .I use it in my college projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is useful for big data and other computations.

R is the best statistical software

  • April 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rstudio is very user friendly way more than R. It shows all the variables in a side panel so u can see exactly what are stored in the memory and that makes bug fixing easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Except it is slow handling big data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Financial data forecasting

Predictive model building

Easy learning curve, all things considered

  • April 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm a visual thinker and being able to easily see the structure of the data in a preview panel is great for checking that functions have run correctly. There is also a built in integration with version control so that you don't lose work as often. The reliability has improved in recent years, with fewer crashes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could have better integration with smarter IDEs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Free data analytics language that pretty much anyone can use; if you have used MATLAB this is easy to pick up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It really depends on what your use case is. It won't work for very large datasets that require matrix inversion, for example. It could also be nice if it had a notebook type workflow like JuPyter (which could be used with pandas).

Better than R GUI

  • April 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy installation of libraries through a wizard. Clean UI and theme options are what separates it from R GUI. Offers excellent set of libraries for data visualization and statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Global environment variables sometimes do not clean entirely. Sometimes, the saved scripts fail to load. The workaround for this issue is to reload them with encoding. The encoder to be used is UTF- 8
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to do prescriptive analytics and run regression on my data. The commands and methods required for analysis are pretty straightforward and do not require much to be remembered.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always keep the software to up to date to stay updated to new libraries.

What do you like best about the product?
Many tutorials, big community, free open source tool with a variety of packages!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is slow and the visualization makes it not so user friendly..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use RStudio for data analysis because it is more powerful than excel and supports larger data sets..

Rstudio

  • April 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface and integration of console in the same window helps a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
The directory setting isn't automatic and had to make changes in the universal variable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing projects related to data visualization, data preparation for Machine algorithms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your sole aim is to apply data analytics and do any work related to the analysis of data, Rstudio is the way to go. It provides easy to use environment and ample of libraries are already available.

Powerful, but at a price

  • April 06, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fast, powerful resource for data wrangling and data visualization. Good libraries, decent support. Pretty easy to use at a basic level once you're used to it. Doesn't crash nearly as often as Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is pretty steep for new users. Definitely targets a niche audience. The community is a little abrasive sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data processing; very easy to subset data based on multiple criteria. Interfaces with other products pretty nicely, which makes for quicker analytics.

Statistical Language Tool

  • April 03, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The community associated with the tool and language is very strong. Also the extensive work and updation of packages make it very easy to use and apply functionalities. Caret and dplyr are very versatile packages. If one learns to use ggplot 2 package, they can even create interactive dashboards like one from tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about the language but the constant and frequent updates in few packages makes one re-learn the concepts related to it again and again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio was mostly used for data wrangling. This data cleaning part took the maximum part of processing the whole data. Once the concepts were learned it was easy to use and modify the data for further work on it. Statistical knowledge coupled with the knowledge of this tool can work wonders. One can build regression models and do predictive analysis. There are many applications towards improving and understanding the data for the further applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is difficult to learn, but there is a lot of material available online to woke through it. I learned through data camp, ISLR and participated in online kagggle competitions. It takes time but once crossed the threshold its a cake walk then on.

Flexibility with a learning curve

  • April 02, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is massively capable and flexible, and there is a large online community of R users that are very helpful. Finally, the software is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only negatives, which really aren't a big deal, are that learning the coding language for R takes some time (like any other language), and that sometimes when you are dealing with large data sets and complicated models, the program can get bogged down and be slow. This last issue is really more of a computer issue, but the software contributes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do all of our analyses and data wrangling in RStudio. In addition, RStudio has a multitude of options for data visualization and reporting/presenting data.
