RStudio: professional figures made easy

  • January 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a first time RStudio user, I was able to customize parameters (colors, fonts, etc.) and construct clear figures for an evolutionary ecology paper.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was initially hard to teach myself to code in R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been a useful resource for data visualization, which is invaluable for writing grant proposals and obtaining funding to continue my research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many useful online resources, since so many people use RStudio and contribute to forums like StackOverflow. As a result, usually if you have a question, you can find someone else who has already answered it.

R studio analysis

  • January 19, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It’s a good tool to do initial analysis of data . Good options to perform data science predictions also on R studio. Open source libraries really useful

Not for beginners

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has the ability to download many packages to write coding. It tells you when there are errors. You can also copy previous lines so you don't need to retype to edit it.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to have guidance or background in coding to be able to use this software. It is hard if you are unfamiliar with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it in multiple classes to learn coding and solve larger mathematical problems.

The only IDE to use with R!

  • January 16, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I don't even know where to begin. Rstudio is highly customizable, allowing you to choose how to display your console, plots, workspace variables, etc within the IDE. The newer versions of Rstudio allow for version control with git as well, which is very advantageous for collaborative projects. Plotting is also easy, and you can easily scroll through your plot history to compare many plots. You can easily inspect your datasets and variables as well. Installation is very simple and takes a few moments. I use Rstudio with my PC and Mac, and I've never experienced problems with either. In addition to an IDE, you can also write latex and markdown documents integrated with R code and output. I love this feature, because I produce many reports in which I need to show R code and output. Also Rstudio is free!
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Rstudio is an excellent IDE, that comes at a cost of overhead. Compiling large lateX documents, for example, takes much longer if you run them through Rstudio versus the command line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Rstudio extensively daily to analyze, process, and manipulate data. It is an invaluable resource. I would not be as productive or efficient without it. I really love that I can produce high quality reports with R code. This helps others understand my work and makes my research reproducible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Rstudio to a wide variety of people--from students to instructors, business professionals, and anyone who'd like to get some programming experience in a user friendly IDE. I especially recommend Rstudio to those who are on a budget, because Rstudio is free! I would also recommend it for analysts who wish to use version control on collaborative projects, because Rstudio integrates with github.

R-studio can handle statistical packages pretty well

  • January 15, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about R-studio is the variety of packages that it covers. Most statisticians are well-versed with R so most of their academic papers end up being a package in R which makes it a very useful software for statistics. R-studio is easy to use and it is quite friendly. I also like the visualization packages such as ggplot2 which generates fancy figures.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think R is very good for statistics but it's quite limiting for many other tasks such as data-wrangling, deep learning, and machine learning packages. If you are working in those areas I suggest using Python instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been working with R-studio for a while now. I often run ANOVA models ore regressions. I also use it for mapping (ggmap) and visualization because I think the visualizations are great. Although, after the advent of Tableau, I barely use R-studio for visualization. Because of it being an open-source software, it is still a common software preferred by many companies including Mckinsey.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider making Machine Learning and Deep learning packages more user friendly and provide a good tutorial on that so that you can resemble something like Scikit-learn)
