Best tool to work with R

  • December 13, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Using R Studio is the reason why I was able to pick up programming in R. It is easy to use and the layout is ideal. I also like that it's easy to update packages and that see if you have the packages checked off to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems like I am able to crash it pretty easily and that's frustrating to wait for it to load back up again. It is a little annoying the way that you have to have the correct library file path and work space to be consistent. Also it is a little annoying that you have to check off or run code to include a library for analysis. It can also be a little slow to run analysis with. I am not impressed with certain graphs and maps. Other than that, there are not many downfalls with R Studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked on numerous different business problems. I mainly focus on statistics, machine learning techniques, and sentiment analysis. I do a lot of graphical output and have worked with maps before. Creating maps are a little time consuming, although there are a lot of packages and tools available to combat it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn it and look into Tidyverse packages. It is worth having a decent programming background, although it is not necessary. R studio is a great overall tool for R users and there is no other IDE that I would use.

A good tool for every R user

What do you like best about the product?
R Studio provide the best user interface of the whole package of software. It's amazing the amount of plugins you can use for this tool and generate great samples of work. The great thing about being open source allow everyone who is willing to work with data to use this powerful tool with the option of upgrade the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is the option of language, so far is limited to some languages and even if they have Spanish for example, the translation per se is incomplete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently working in Social Media Analytics and I use R Studio to apply analysis of all social media. I use for example for Facebook the plugin "RFacebook" and is very effective at the time of give me all the specification I need to work with; also there is for Twitter, which you can use only if you're linking the option of API with the tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're starting use the R programming, then this is the best software you can use to keep familiarizing with the environment that offers R.

Also, if you're considering to teach about data or you work at anything that works with data, consider use R and R Studio.

Great experience

What do you like best about the product?
The huge amount of different packages that are available and the help that's available online is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the problems that can arise if there is an older package that isn't compatible with a newer version of R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving problems in the environmental monitoring field where we use it to make large amounts of graphical information and statistical tests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be intimidated by having to learn a bit of computer coding in order to use it.

Only thing I use for R development!

What do you like best about the product?
It is incredibly easy view code, output, and error all in the same screen. Additionally, installing R libraries is easy and you can just search for them and the names will autopopulate as you begin to type.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I dislike about this product yet. I use it professionally and for a graduate program and have no gripes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am doing linear and logistic regression as well as time series forecasting. It is very easy to write the program then test it out for production use a .bat file.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it! Seems to be an industry standard.

Excellent tool for novice and power users interested in Big Data and Statistical Research.

  • October 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
R-Studio is an free integrated development environment (IDE) that is generally easy to use and learn for novice and power users alike. The multiple framed windows allows the user to multi-task and seamlessly access data streams, work on the R-Code and view the results within the console or the built-in graphical interface.

R-Studio comes with a vast database of add-on packages that can easily be installed within software and allows the users to greatly take advantage of the R-language to many applications beyond just pure Statistical Research.
What do you dislike about the product?
The built-in HELP command provides syntax and context on the add-on package. However, it can be confusing to understand depending on which package you use. There does not seem to be a standard tutorial for these packages and I usually end up finding the resource I need from a web search externally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used R-Studio to mine Twitter feeds and analyze the sentiment of these feeds all through using R-Studio's built-in packages. The reproduce-ability of the code and the flexibility it offers is priceless. And did I mention it's also a freeware?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is no cost of using R-Studio and there is quite a lot of forums and community support around the R-language and its add-on packages. However, there is a steep-learning curve when it comes to R (but not uncommon with other programming language). But it is not the most easily adaptable to cloud-based Big Data clusters such as Hadoop where the supported language is Python.

What do you like best about the product?
R Studio takes what is great about R and just makes it both look and work better.

Extremely useful environment for R development

  • September 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Access to help, viewing the data, and creating scripts, all in one environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much, although it would be nice to be able to search the web for code snippets from directly within the tool. Not a big deal, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coding predictive models in a repeatable fashion. So far we are still in development, but the interface makes the development project much less painful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You still have to know R, but this is a great development environment for R code.
