RStudio is the best IDE for R, hands down

  • March 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
RStudio makes using R a pleasure, giving you all the tools you need to do data science well and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It still lacks a few features, namely a good way to explore available packages and an integrated way to clearly view complex list objects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RStudio every day--R is my go-to language for both data science and data management. I fire up RStudio any time I have a data related problem or question. It makes jumping between script writing and interactive console work a pleasure and being able to see what objects exist in my environment plus a view of the working directory removes a ton of the cognitive load.

The autocomplete tools are spectacular, as is the ability to write your own autocomplete snippets--I begin every script with a quick snipped that loads the libraries I use every day.

In short, RStudio makes using R easy and simple. Combined with dplyr, it provides almost everything I need to get my job done quickly and efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using RStudio (rather than vanilla R) is worth a go: the price is right (free!) and the features are amazing. It turns a relatively painful experience into something you'll want do every day.

Love R-Studio

  • March 28, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
The layout is beautiful - easy to navigate. The help bar in the lower corner is infinitely useful
What do you dislike about the product?
The data viewer could be improved, it's pretty basic as it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This program/language gives me so much flexibility in reshaping, coding, and working with data. If I can figure out how to write it, I can do it.

Flexible, no-frills workspace

  • March 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, flexibility to adjust the screen layout, and ability to easily interact with the base R server. It provides an easy to use interface to access most of the features available in R.
What do you dislike about the product?
The syntax highlighting could use some improvement to bring it up to par with other editors such as Atom or Notepad++, for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The vast collection of statistical packages in R is easily available through RStudio. I have been using RStudio to analyze large financial datasets for many years. Some of the more tedious housekeeping tasks in R are nicely handle by RStudio.

R-Studio

  • March 17, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
R-Studio is an great open source IDE for R. I used it to run my R program codes. Works great on windows (i use).
Debugging is easy.
I can save my code as Projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fewer times the session terminated unreasonable, not too sure but might be due to huge data volume processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Execution of my R code is easy.
Code management.

Great software, specially helps you to visualize the data better.

  • March 14, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about this software is that it can handle large amounts of data and form charts and graphs very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since this software is open source it is really difficult to learn everything and sometimes becomes difficult to understand the codes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using the R studio in my data mining class and have learned that it can used to predict about the historical data to improve the future analysis.


    Research

Must-have software for all R users.

  • March 14, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Makes R even better.
- It helps you know which objects / datasets you are working with at all times.
- The windows help you navigate through graphs and help files.
- It is free.
- It helps you keep your sanity while using R.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it makes R very user-friendly. I am not sure how I feel about that.

In more serious terms, sometimes you might run into compatibility issues with certain R packages. During my five-year experience with RStudio, I run into a total number of "1" compatibility issue. I survived.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach research methods using R and also use R in my own research (did I mention R and RStudio are both free?). The main benefit of RStudio is basically making R into more of a software. Otherwise, R is a command-line program. Try explaining command-line to a 18 year-old PR student, I dare you!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start using RStudio now!
