"RStudio to do the majority of the data analysis"
What do you like best about Posit?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There is no other way to work with R"
What do you like best about Posit?

The versatility of RStudio is second to none. Packages can be installed and loaded to much more easily analyse and process data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean big-data projects with RStudio"
What do you like best about Posit?

RStudio is an open source software, which is great because it counts with tons of documentation and tutorials that can be found online. RStudio somehow makes a complex language like R to be simple, as it handles the right statistical data for developers. Among its greatest tools is the full text editor, that helps to manipulate data quickly, which is one of the most time-consuming tasks for any automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

R is a very complex language that you will need to take some time to learn in order to properly use RStudio. I feel this tool still feels a bit limited, as all the add-ons and environments don’t seem to provide the desired customization. The package finder is one of the most confusing tools to use. If they could make it more intuitive, it would really help. Also, I have run into some bugs which are very difficult to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Data Science tool"
What do you like best about Posit?

The cross-disciplinary tool between data, geospatial information, and web mapping Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

Fewer tutorials for beginners to learn and get familiar with the product. Setting a 10-short-video startup to get the layman person to be familiar with the software is key as big data is becoming an important component in the private sector Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great IDE for programming in R"
What do you like best about Posit?

Rstudio is one of the few IDEs that exist for programming in R because it is a very recent language and still little known, for this the editor Rstudio although it has little development time I think it is an application that is very well built and that works suitably for the creation of large projects using R as a language.

Technically it is very similar to other IDE created for other languages so if you are a programmer you probably do not find it hard to understand. The application in terms of configuration seemed complete and has all the features that one needs to build an efficient workspace in any IDE.

On the one hand it allows the change of appearance to a darker theme, something that we appreciate those of us who have a sight that gets tired easily when programming in environments with a lot of light. It also has a very useful command console for the execution or compilation of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

Sincerely, I found it to be a very well-built application that has nothing to send to other IDE, Rstudio provides an environment to program in R that offers everything necessary for the creation and debug of any project. Maybe silly but you call it something negative it could be the default theme that although I like it, it could be a dark one by default since most programmers prefer a dark one.

"R Studio Review"
What do you like best about Posit?

I enjoy that R Studio brings a whole new coding style, and is something that is used in both introductory courses, as well as actual companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

I dislike how R studio is quite senstitive when it comes to capital letters, spacing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free, useful, and easy to learn"
What do you like best about Posit?

RStudio is fantastic. It makes writing and implementing code in R a breeze. I like the GUI setup where I can see my console, scripting area, variable list, and plots all on the same screen. Saving files as R projects is also helpful, as is the integration with R Markdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

It is hard to pick something to dislike. Maybe more descriptive error messages? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE for R programming "
What do you like best about Posit?

Best IDE for R programming in the market and that too for free. The user interface is very clean and very easy to understand. It is open source and available in all the operating systems and many features for data analysis. One of the best IDE for statistical analysis and predictive modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Posit?

Nothing much to dislike about the software. If you are used to IDE's such as pycharm or intelliG you may feel it as too simple. But it does the work and its free of cost, so nothing much to complain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great interface for R users"
What do you like best about Posit?

Years ago I used an interface called R Commander. That kept crashing and had to just use the Gui. Now R has a proper interface outside of just the Gui that integrates everything in one place so you can see exactly what you are working on. Biggest plus... It doesn't crash!

What do you dislike about Posit?

There isn't anything I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
