Great interface for using R

  • October 10, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature is the fact you can easily see the graphs that you make in RStudio. It saves the trouble of having to open and close multiple tabs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the correct size of an image for saving. Larger images cannot be easily visualized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RStudio allows me to easily visualize the data that I have. It is also a great tool to teach those first starting to use R. For instance, it lets you see the data in a very excel like format.

Versatile program for data analysis and visualization

  • October 09, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
-Versatile
-Extensive library
-Active, friendly userbase
-Good quality figure output
What do you dislike about the product?
-Steep learning curve at first (as I had no previous programming experience)
-Can be hard to pinpoint errors in code from official error statements
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it to analyze the prevelance of fungicide resistance in tomato and potato crops for both local and international growers. The ability to analyze larger data sets was essential.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
-Do a few online, user-friendly tutorials if you are new to coding before getting started (I recommend CodeSchool to start with for a fun twist!)
-Familiarize yourself with common libraries in your field

Rstudio

What do you like best about the product?
I like how everything in the work space is organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish there was some color coding available to indicate object, vector, or whatever, like what they have in the SAS programming software. Overall, it was very difficult to learn R programming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is really useful for network analysis as well as a lot of other statistical stuff. My boss needed R programming to help with her microbiome research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Beware of a steep learning curve.

I'm doing statistical analysis with the program.

R studio review

  • October 05, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rstudio is an open source and freely available. It is very simple to install on any platform. It has a really good interface that allows us to install the packages that we need for analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphics can get better. Also R consumes lot of memory when you are dealing with super large datasets or matrices and can get slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use R for most of my research. RStudio provides a nice interface to R and it is easy to see plots on the same window while working on a problem.

Relatively user friendly but room for improvement

  • October 05, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
-It's free
-Automatic / suggested fill for commands or data tables
-Packages can be developed by independent users
-Color differentiation for commands vs comments, etc
What do you dislike about the product?
-Difficult to remember commands / not very intuitive
-Tricky to search for a tool that I want if I can't remember what it's called
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No business problems, use for research (biostats, epidemiology, SIR modeling, survivorship analysis)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone uses it and it won't be going away any time soon so as frustrating as it can be to learn how to use effectively, invest the time. Hopefully it will become more user-friendly in future versions.

Usage of R for Epidemiology Research Data Analytics

  • October 03, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Can always achieve data analysis goals with this product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the help interface is arcane and can pose issues when searching for coding solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving epidemiological data analyses in contribution to our research projects which are expected to see patients of radiation therapy. RStudio enables our data analyses which in turn contributes to product realization. Currently we have validated the usage of our research tool using data analytics with RStudio; we continue working towards validation in analogous but different contexts of radiation therapy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone involved with big data, epidemiological research should use RStudio. Be sure to take advantage of the HELP option to work through problems with code.

R Studio Review

  • October 03, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the customizability of R Studio. It's easy to set up, configure, and start working. I also like that R studio is ubiquitous with R, unlike many other languages that have various IDEs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not crazy about the way RStudio arranges files and projects in the UI but it's a minor complaint at best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use R to handle more complex data problems than I can handle in excel or SQL. I often use the RPostgreSQL package to pull data from Redshift and then manipulate in R.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool and worth your time to try out.
