Allows users to host different models in one place

  • July 24, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use Posit to deploy applications developed in R and Python. Our team creates applications and models, which they then host on GitHub. We assist them in deploying these models and provide the necessary access and support.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for two to three years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We can easily add users by providing AD group access and assigning different access levels—publisher, administrator, or viewer—based on their needs. My company has two instances: production and development. We have around 140 users for production, while for development, we have 180. 

How are customer service and support?

I regularly connect with support whenever there are any issues. However, there is a time lag due to time zone differences. 

How was the initial setup?

If you're setting up Posit for the first time, it's quite easy. They provide a detailed admin guide with step-by-step instructions, making the deployment process straightforward.

Best software for data analysis and data visualization with R

  • March 24, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
R studio is free open-source software and easy to install. It consists of very big libraries that are very useful for data analysis purposes. It provides many features such as we can save our variables in the workspace for a long time, importing variables, can execute particular lines of code without executing the whole program. It requires fewer resources and can run in old and slow hardware also.
It runs big data files in very short time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is just a user interface it can't work without R software so we need to install R separately, it would be so good if it comes with R also. R studio interface is not very simple for beginners it requires practice. Sometimes it crashes due to not proper execution between R and R studio. It takes time to open.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have done some courses which require R for machine learning for that I have used R studio. I have made some projects which require data analysis and data visualization with R.It takes very less time compared to other data analysis tools to execute big data files.

R studio provides a comprehensive package to perform data analysis by utilizing various built-in and importable libraries and statistical packages.
What do you dislike about the product?
While dealing with large datasets, RStudio sometimes tends to crash.

I use RStudio to perform regression analysis (linear, logistic etc.). RStudio built in packages makes it super easy to make prediction and eventually help come up with a risk management solution.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is quite simple to understand. I like the part where I can run and see the output by creating different windows. Another thing is autosuggestion helps me not googling syntax. It falls on the same line as Eclipse software, so definitely ticks all the boxes
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the complex data science algorithms took a long time. I did not understand if it was due to the way data was built with n number of columns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to provide solutions to several business queries with the help of data. That made me ran A/B testing, hypothesis testing. Building MI models.

  • October 18, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Graphics are more accessible in R Studio for the beginner.
What do you dislike about the product?
The visual interface is not as good as Jupyter notebook it's tough to read the font especially when projecting onto a screen with projector for meetings.

One of the best platform for direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management. Models are really easy to deploy in this language. The functions are simple and relatively straightforward.
