Great gui for R
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use even for beginners. A nice interface for the powerful R language with emphasis in plots and viewing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to have a good command of R to start working with it. Using different R versions is not that easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analysis and plotting.
There is no other way to work with R
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of RStudio is second to none. Packages can be installed and loaded to much more easily analyse and process data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default windows that are available in RStudio are somewhat unwieldy. Additionally some of the default settings for displaying data are inconvenient. Most users tend to always want scientific notation on or always want it off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use RStudio to perform research with financial and healthcare data. RStudio has a rich variety of graph styles that can be used to accurately and clearly display data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Become familiar with multiple ways of doing things. Learn which ways to organize data are the fastest and most efficient.
The best IDE for R
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about RStudio is how it makes working with R. super practical.
You have all the information of your R session distributed in the panels in a clear way, you will always have your variables, functions, graphs and Datasets in sight which helps a lot in my work.
The generation of reports is simple since it comes with an integrated Markdown editor and can be generated in other formats such as HTML or Shiny slides.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are few things that dislike Rstudio, the processing speed is reduced a bit when using it, sometimes it can be inconvenient to have to update R and RStudio due to version incompatibilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With RStudio I have been able to do data analysis in a more orderly and fast way, create reports of my analysis to share them with collaborators and students.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Totally recommended for students and researchers, it is the best way to work with R and the best, totally free.
RStudio great place to do all the statistical analysis
What do you like best about the product?
One thing which I like best about RStudio is how efficiently we can carry out ML Algorithms and make .R script of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing which I dislike about RStudio is with every update, we need to re download all our packages which we downloaded once
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One problem which I m solving using RStudio is I can even present my insights of statistical analysis within RStudio using ggplot2 library
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Rstudio should be givien a go for all your statistical analysis as it is the most stable tool available in the market right now.
RStudio For Academia and Healthcare
What do you like best about the product?
I love how the language is one that can extend into python (similar) and how it is easily downloaded and can share packages.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, packages being shared are not always 100% correct so need to be very thorough in your research of a package/cran to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data-simulation/data-viz
higher level analytics
higher level analytics
Best IDE for Data Wrangling
What do you like best about the product?
The most intuitive IDE for ingesting, manipulating, and visualizing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing I don’t enjoy about RStudio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m managing a data pipeline more efficiently than before and displaying via Markdown with increased internal customer satisfaction.
Research Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is convenient, with accessible documentation and environment breakdown in the same window as the core script and console.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can do a better job with marketing/distinguishing R against other data analysis languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open source packages have allowed me to find specialized functions for niche subfields in academia. The relative free of cost, except in the cloud, is helpful for a resouce strapped research team!
Updated Coding platform for R
What do you like best about the product?
R Studio, the alternate version of the original "R" application, is definitely new and improved. Instead of having to look at separate windows and copy to run code, it is all in one place simultaneously, which makes every step just that much easier. I had started off using R, but once a professor of mine recommended I use Rstudio, I did not go back to R! Combining all the windows into one was a very necessary change.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes R studio can become a little funky when creating variables/adding new variables to an imported data set, which can be annoying. Also, I wish it was more optimized for excel when copying tables as well but that's just a personal minor issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do like how it shows your variables made on the right-hand side, which ensures me that my variable is indeed in the data set or has been appended to it correctly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be a little overwhelming, as most coding environments are at first, but it is a great coding environment for programming in R
Unbeatable IDE for R
What do you like best about the product?
I love the format where one panel is a scripting panel, the lower panel is an execution panel and the right panel is a help panel. I would not use R if it wasn’t for RStudio. The support of R markdown to quickly publish how to manuals about your script has also been indispensable but I have not gotten used to it yet, before this coming from bash scripting in text editors and prototyping using the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not much to dislike about Rstudio. Sometimes when I run a script that is too memory intensive (because of a mistake in the code), I cannot stop the script even by pressing Esc multiple times. This is particularly for graphically intensive tasks like plotting a 20x20,000 heatmap. I would have to kill the Rstudio and lose the variables in my current environment. I am not aware of any collaborative features like Google Code has or something like Google Docs where multiple people can edit at the same time. I am also not sure about how to setup something like RStudio Server, which I've used before when available on the cluster to do more computationally intensive tasks although for those I think it's better to launch the R script in the terminal instead of RStudio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rstudio is a great way to use R to analyze genomics. The reason it is more accessible for genomic data is that there are so many packages written for that purpose and released to Bioconductor package repository, making it very easy to download and use packages out of the box. While Python is a great general purpose language and analyzing strings, I like R because it is what I learned in statistics class because of the inbuilt packages that make statistics in R and big data analysis (even loading a data frame or matrix) readily accessible. While R in itself may be slow in executing tasks compared to other languages, the packages available to R are often written in other languages like C++ so that execution is quick.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you don't execute scripts that you don't have resources for. Before you execute, save local environmental variables so that if your script crashes you can reload the variables without recomputing everything. It can be saved in .Rdata.
RStudio to do the majority of the data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the R programming language in general, because it’s in constant evolution and comes with extensive documentation, which makes it easy to learn and explain. Actions like data preparation are very simple in R because it automates many processes by programming sequences. Besides, it’s able to handle large amounts of data without storage issues, allowing you to do most of your database work faster and smarter, in both the interactive environment and in the scripts. You’re even able to work with your data, figures, analysis and, most importantly, with your instructions. Of course, it’s an open source software and there is always a large community of volunteers working to update it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I love the R language,I still feel Python is a better language, as Python is able to integrate with more apps and solutions than R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio is the tool we use in the IT depatment to do the overwhelming majority of the data analysis, which includes direct mail campaign selection, predictive modeling, statistical analysis and reporting. We chose RStudio because it provides us a single environment to work in, where we can easily do statistical work and reporting. For any of these actions, we would definitely pick and use RStudio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
RStudio is a great option if you want to review statistical databases to simplify your work. If you need to work with certain numbers, RStudio will definitely help to speed up the process.
