    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!

Phenomenal IDE for Data Analysis

  • February 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
R Studio covers just about all of my needs when it comes to data analysis. The team at R Studio clearly cares about the user experience and continues to develop products that make working with data and R easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I dislike any situation where I have to use another tool to interact with data. R Studio is the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
R Studio is the place that we do all of our data analysis, exploration, and modeling. This has brought much more depth of understanding to our data and our business metrics.

What do you like best about the product?
- RStudio can effectively run R packages and is simple to use while trying to perform statistical analysis for huge amount of data.
- It is open source and available for free.
- The workspace can be easily saved and organised as a Rhistory file which can be used for referencing later.
- The autocomplete feature is pretty quick and reliable.
- The panels are neatly divided and can be resized according to need.
What do you dislike about the product?
- The main problem with RStudio is that it is lacking behind in Data Visualization as compared to its competitors. Many Data Visualization software like Tableau, Qlikview available in the market can give you stunning visuals which help understand data much easier but Rstudio has not come upto par with the variety of charts that are available in these tools.
- There are instances of Rstudio crash which are quite frequent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Rstudio helps tackle data science problems from almost every industry like healthcare, finance, retail, etc
- Instead of using R command line, you can use Rstudio which can help you plot multiple graphs which are saved in different windows and you can view them together.
- You can build R scripts which are easier to share and run on Rstudio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are working on R, Rstudio is the the way to go.

R-Studio

  • February 17, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its good tool as in this tool you need to input the commands rather than selecting from UI which really helps in memorizing the commands and understand the R programming language.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be some templates/help to understand the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did the data set analysis using R studio to use different algorithms/
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool to learn R programming.

Easy to Use IDE

  • February 14, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A great IDE to use when you are relatively new to R. Tow words describe it completely 'simple and powerful'.I did start of with matlab before but I kinda felt this was better when the 'easy of use' factor was taken into consideration
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in general .It can be a little buggy at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this when i was student. Helped with my academic projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a beginner (using R) please consider giving this a shot.

Quality product and easy to use

  • February 02, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best part about R-Studio is its simplicity. Being able to navigate inputs as tabs, manage your environment, and constantly see what data frames you have helps users with coming back to projects and being able to pick up where they left off with little downtime. It's also nice to navigate packages while keeping your console and code blocks open. Obviously, its nice that its open source as well and that it can deal with very large data sets, but that is unique to R, not RStudio.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there isn't too much I dislike about the program. There are some shortfalls in the ease-of-use if you aren't familiar with R, but in that case you shouldn't be using such a program. The only reason I didn't rate it 10 is due to the fact I've found it prone to crashing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has helped me work with other colleagues in R, which has revolutionized how we deal with large datasets. Just working in R console seems daunting to most users, but when they look at the interface of RStudio, it is much more approachable and therefore more people will use it.

A great user interface for R

  • January 31, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to understand and collaborate, has helped me and my team work on solutions to repeat problems/queries we face at work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike about the tool, it's the best thing in the market at doing what it does. There is no other IDE for R at this level
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Has helped us crowdsource and find solutions that already exist for many of ur problems. Again just generally has made R easier to pick up and use for us all.

Powerful program but not too user friendly

  • January 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is my favorite of all the file recovery software I've tried. I like the interface and scan mechanism and the ability to save scan information. It searches for known file types along with unknown and has helped recover important files.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is not too user friendly. Once a scan has been completed you are presented with multiple results organized in a sort of directory tree. Exactly what the difference is between the branches of the tree are I'm not sure, and if there's a way to focus your results better, I'm not sure about that either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accidentally deleted files is problem in any environment, recovering them is the benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The program is powerful, affordable, and has good support.

Good for starters in research

  • January 24, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
RStudio has a well-designed interface that is user friendly & easy to get on with. It is coed-based, so it takes some time to learn this language - which is something a little bit intimidating to those who haven't worked as a coder before. However, it is not hard to learn, and once proficient, you can do so many things in R that takes forever in Excel or SPSS.
Extra point: RStudio is incredibly powerful, that it conjures up data within seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might be mu delusion, but when dataset is super large, RStudio seems to be operating tiny bit slower than R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a neuroscience lab, where we intensively use R to analyze neuro-signal data. By using RStudio, we were able to train all our research assistants so that they can use R to analyze data, and this makes everything so much easier. In the past, we have to use Excel or SPSS to analyze data, and putting data into Excel or SPSS has never stopped being a huge pain for everyone. Now with RStudio, just writing down some codes and it automatically drags the data we want. Also, in the past, after the data analysis, we need to pull out the data and create graphs, put them in powerpoint slide. If data changes, we have to start all over again, which will take forever. Now with RStudio, we simply create graphs and slides within R, and if our database changes, all those graphs and slides change automatically. It works so well, that we cannot think of going back to excel & powerpoint - there' simply no point of doing that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to be proficient in R - start with using RStudio.
