The data that you receive is very useful. The tool makes it very easy to write scripts.

You will need an in-depth lesson to even use basic functionality of the tool. Not very user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
R Studio allows us to retrieve files (data recovery) that were thought to be lost. Also, provides nice data visualization to present to people who are unfamiliar with the data.

Good IDE to do simple R stuff

  • January 04, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's simple. Very intuitive. Quite a short and simple learning curve. I have never had the chance to completely explore all the different tools it has, but coming from a PyCharm environment, this wasn't too difficult to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might just be too simple and lackluster. Hey, it might be just me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a great tool for Data Analysis, Data Science, Data Exploration and Data Visualization. During my time at Overstock as a Data Science Intern, I had used RStudio to work on several Data Analysis projects. It's free and I'd highly recommend using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's open source. So, it's free.
However, it's a disadvantage too.
The support it purely from the community and you cannot make it work all the time.
It might crash sometimes too, on heavy datasets.

Ok but need some improvements

  • January 03, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Layout in some sense is similar to matlab, so if you are familiar with it then it's easy to navigate. R notebook is really useful and especially ability to chunk your code and run them separately, code autocomplete suggestion and variable highlights makes it easy write scripts
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes a while to get used to the interface. Navigation between panels is a bit poor, and sometimes it crashes when doing heavy computations. Poor resolution on Mac computers (used on both iMac and macbook pro)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly bioinformatics research, Rstudio is more intuitive than using in terminal. Benefits: code chunking and seeing plots straight on in the window.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use R markdown and code chunking
