A much better tool for doing data analytics
What do you like best about the product?
it's an open source and comes with lots of open source packages for analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Visualization is not available, you need to write so many lines of code for making the graphs speak.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed easy load to billions of records. We basically used it for Forecast shipment and sales . After trying lots of models, we finalized one model. We used that model to embed in the frontend and used it Whatif scenario.
Excellent tool for novice and power users interested in Big Data and Statistical Research.
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.
R-studio review
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly UI; nice graphincs; interactive
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of anything that I don't like about R-studio
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Advanced data analytics (Sampling, linear/non linear regression, outlier testing etc)
RStudio is a great tool for data analysis.
What do you like best about the product?
I use the tool for statistics and predictive modelling and it is great to use the tool with some technical knowledge..
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to learn the syntax of the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using prediction modelling algorithms using R studio.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
RStudion is good to use for data analysis techniques and regression analysis techniques
I usually use R and R scripts from the terminal window, but use R Studio for some applications.
What do you like best about the product?
R Studio is a useful GUI for implementing multiple associated R scripts, which is my primary use. I have found that running multiple driver or wrapper files (for a computational model, for example) is easier in R Studio compared to the terminal window. It is also a good tool for running problematic code line-by-line to diagnose errors, and to search long outputs.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any GUI, R Studio does not offer the flexibility that working from the terminal does. For example, I prefer to write code outside R Studio (in gedit or notepad) because it is more visually-pleasing, and I prefer to make high-quality figures this was as well.
As a side note, I hate that R Studio automatically opens your prior documents when you open the software.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an academic in the natural sciences. I use this software in primary research (big data, statistics, GIS, modeling), and to make figures for publications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
R Studio is a useful tool and will be useful for some applications. If you have a computing background, it may be a little aggravating at times.
Great IDE for teaching R courses
What do you like best about the product?
RStudio is a very simple but powerful IDE, ideal for people new to either R or programming. It can be installed in any major OS (Windows, Linux, MacOS) in a short amount of time, usually without any problems. It combines a simple editor, terminal and variable window that makes it feel like a Matlab-like environment, which is great for beginners or for people coming from other languages like Matlab.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very few things to dislike about RStudio, since it is probably the best R IDE out there. However, some areas for improvement are the simple IDE and graphics handling (sometimes a little buggy).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm teaching R courses using this IDE and I also use it myself when doing research in R.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are learning R, RStudio is the way to go. I also found it useful when teaching R courses, since the students (usually new to programming) can get the IDE up and running very quickly and everything is much more visual (they do not have to keep track of the objects in memory, and so on.)
