Posit Reviews & Product Details

I like the way that I can step line by line through my code so I can see my data at every step along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The language took some getting used to but once I got used to it, I have loved it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is relatively intuitive. I appreciate that I can run the software and see its operation by creating many windows. Additionally, autosuggest prevents me from using Google to research syntax. It is comparable to Eclipse software, thus it meets all requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

R Studio doesn't have anything I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is open source and has a lot of community support. R language is very powerful and is specialized for data analysis and big data. That makes it a very important tool in data science feild. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up environments and working directories every time is very tiresome. Also, the syntax in R is very different from other programming languages and does not provide functionalities outside of mathematics and statistics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RStudio is free and allows the user to perform powerful data analysis, visualizations and machine learning on their personal computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The R language, and by extension, RStudio, can have a steep learning curve for people not familiar with object-oriented coding languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Easy to navigate User Interface of R Studio, It's easy to install and use it. Its best for Data Scientists as it gives you all the features a data scientist or statistician may require to do using R. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User Interface can be improved a lot.

R Studio takes a time to load and becomes non-responding sometimes. Memory management can be improved here.

The learning guide can be improved to include tasks that data scientists do frequently to reduce the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very user-friendly. As a beginner, it is very easy to learn and it has many different windows showing package, path set, data import simultaneously which make it easier to understand the overall picture at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The major problem is that Rstudio doesn't work until we install R. and sometimes it may cause problems when R console and R studio clash due the different versions of any R library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rstudio provides for a large number of customizing statistical analyses. Familiarity with other coding languages makes cross-platform coding easy and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source requires a ton of extra packages to be loaded and additional knowledge to be acquired. In the beginning, I found it really hard and frustrating to learn new tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how R studio gives you the flexibility to design graphs and charts in exactly the way that you want just by inputting the correct code. This, for example, is not the case with programs such as Excel, which only have a limited number of options for data visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like how R studio can be quite complicated compared to other statistics programs, such as Excel. There may be certain analyses or charts that are a simple click in Excel, but require several lines of code to be replicated in R studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RStudio supports various formats of R codes, including R Markdown, R script and R Notebook. When I first learned to write R codes, I directly started with RStudio. Compared with R, RStudio is more convenient and easy-to-use. For example, users can view parameters and functions within the environment. And users can also find all installed packages. In addition, it's easy to connect with data source through Spark. And it's easy to pull from and push back changes to a Git repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Collaborative editing is not supported in RStudio at this time. Team members cannot view the changes made by other team members in real time. And the .Rproj file is not easy to be shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a very visual person, and sometimes I have trouble with R because of that. R sort of requires you to imagine how something looks, or know the code well enough not to have to print a figure 12 times to make it right. I like having the GUI so that I can just see what I'm doing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. I haven't had a problem with it that was due to RStudio (just R issues) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
