Chose Posit
SPSS is good for folks who are not as familiar with statistics, and for those who are older or more technologically-experienced and may be overwhelmed by Posit's products. It's also really great for teaching students and getting them exposed. However, because Posit is free, …
Chose Posit
Posit is far better than Jupyter Notebook and Minitab in this regard that Posit is actually capable of doing all kind of analytical stuffs like data pre-processing, wrangling, validation and visualization. On the other hand, Jupyter Notebook can be used for python programming …
Chose Posit
Posit is way way way more reliable than Excel for anything more involved than a quick spreadsheet. Faster speeds, greater charting abilities, flexible functionality and more efficient memory usage. Python is still my go-to for anything that needs integration, but Posit beats …

Chose Posit
RStudio is better than python for visualizations but it is less common to use it in many organizations. Excel and PowerBI are better for visualization but, they can only be used for simple models. I would choose R Studio for statistical analysis, ML, or DL because the language …
Chose Posit
RStudio works really well compared to competitors such as Jupyter Notebook where there is no environment to visualize variables. RStudio on the other hand is much easier to use and provides the right set of environments for users.
Chose Posit
inter-departmental collaboration - my first choice would be TIBCO Spotfire natural language processing and knowledge graphs - my first choice would be Python information security & visualizations (including d3.js libraries) - my first choice is RStudio
Chose Posit
RStudio is more than a home for a dashboard. It is a content management system for data science. It hosts models, APIs, runs scripts, AND hosts dashboards.
Chose Posit
RStudio stacks up pretty well against its competition. For me, it is really up to personal preference and what you are used to when deciding between the competitions. I like that Python packages have the most external resources, so it's easier to troubleshoot. But RStudio does …
Chose Posit
The most similar products to RStudio that I have used include IBM SPSS and Tableau Prep. In my experience, SPSS is more intuitive and has less of a learning curve; I used it extensively in my undergraduate career in Statistics and Cognitive Science research. While RStudio has …

RStudio stacks up pretty well against Anaconda. However, Anaconda might be the first choice for someone who likes Python for their analytics and machine learning needs. In the past, I have found it seamless to connect Jupyter Notebook (in Anaconda suite) to integrate with other …
Chose Posit
RStudio was provided as the most customizable. It was also strictly the most feature-rich as far as enabling our organization to script, run, and make use of R open-source packages in our data analysis workstreams. It also provided some support for python, which was useful …
Chose Posit
Personally, I would prefer SPSS over RStudio and SAS, but the cost for licenses for SPSS deters me from continuing to go with IBM's statistics software. RStudio has the advantage in that it is low cost and there are a lot of available resources on YouTube available for users …
Chose Posit
Using [RStudio] requires greater knowledge of statistics and code than SPSS, which has a more simple "point and click" interface. [RStudio] is similar to SAS in its user interface and [requires] the user to write their own queries. [RStudio]'s main advantage is an open-source …
Chose Posit
I tried Stata because it's a standard tool for economists but it doesn't have the flexibility and breadth of R and RStudio. I didn't try other IDEs for R.
Chose Posit
RStudio is free and so that is the main reason that I use it. I like that it is open source and so there are lots of support on the internet. I tried SAS JMP and Python in a text editor but RStudio was better than either of those options for cost and code flexibility …
Chose Posit
RStudio is as good as any software available in the market and is better off than some as it is free. Since it is open source it is improving day by day. I would prefer RStudio over any other tool any day. I would recommend every data analyst to give RStudio a try.
Chose Posit
Much better GUI and customizability than BlueSky. I am able to do a variety of tasks at a much quicker pace.
Chose Posit
I understand the Jupyter notebook is supposed to be good like RStudio, and I've been exposed to it a little bit. But my experience using it has been very little.
Chose Posit
Amazon Quicksight, Power bi, SAS EG, Tableau, Salesforce (TREVI) - Victoria, SharePoint.
Chose Posit
I prefer SPSS to RStudio, but RStudio is very cheap in comparison to the cost of SPSS. IBM's SPSS does a better job holding the hands of users, but it does come at a very expensive license cost. RStudio is a little bit more difficult to use but is cheap.
Chose Posit
These all work synergistically and fulfill slightly different roles. In general this is determined by complexity of task and the degree of training and expertise of the end user. RStudio works well for organisations looking to move into doing more complex analytics. In general …
Chose Posit
There are loads of people in the BI (Business Intelligence) space, of course... but I wouldn't touch any of them because none of them offer anything like the R and Python support that RStudio does. RStudio publishes open-source, they're a public benefit corporation, and they …

Google Images analysis model is a good one and I think is very useful in our case of detections. Speech AI is also a good one. I can only recommend Google Cloud AI API and the model for that second will be SpeechKit by Yandex both these tools have exceptional values one can utilise to enhance their projects.

In my humble opinion, if you are working on something related to Statistics, RStudio is your go-to tool. But if you are looking for something in Machine Learning, look out for Python. The beauty is that there are packages now by which you can write Python/SQL in R. Cross-platform functionality like such makes RStudio way ahead of its competition. A couple of chinks in RStudio armor are very small and can be considered as nagging just for the sake of argument. Other than completely based on programming language, I couldn't find significant drawbacks to using RStudio. It is one of the best free software available in the market at present.

Pros
  • Smart reply and its AI suggestions make the organization think more carefully about their e-mail responses in Gmail. We were skeptical at first but it really works well for many instances.
  • We do a lot of business and contracts in Western Europe and South America, so the translate solutions make this much easier for our banking paperwork.
  • When we go to meetings or during a meeting, we often use the Google voice search to save time on research and filtering ideas or analysis.

  • RStudio does an excellent job providing a clean user interface for R or Shiny applications
  • RStudio integrates natively with version control software
  • Users can program with either R or Python
  • RStudio has a command line built in, eliminating the need for a separate program for a REPL

Cons
  • Hard to find what to use - To find the right products, you need look closely at the details of each API, and find which suits your purposes. This can be easily fixed by creating a main page that details all of the products simply.
  • Expensive - The API costs can quickly add up, especially during the setup process and as engineers figure out the usage of the API.
  • No playground or training - There is a lack of an "API playground" or training sessions that could make onboarding engineers to this API much easier.

  • Ability to scale across the company is limited based on the users license, cannot share a dashboard to the general view of the company.
  • Ability to retain session - not simple method to customize view per user (e.g., once session is ended, the users will return next time to the baseline view).
  • Ability to enable communication between multiple users - leave notes, tag other users, or share specific view.

We are extremely satisfied with the impact that this tool has made on our organization since we have practically moved from crawling to walking in the process of generating information for our main task to investigate in the field through interviews. With the audio to text translation tool there is a difference from heaven to earth in the time of feeding our internal data.

There is no other platform that meets our needs. Even if it was terrible we would still use it but fortunately for us it is a very solid project with a great support team. I hope in the future to expand our use and get more licences as well as upgrade to RStudio workbench but for now we are very happy.

Usability
I give 8 because although it´s a tool I really enjoy working with, I think Google Cloud AI's impact is just starting, therefore I can visualize a lot/space of improvements in this tool. As an example the application of AI in international environments with different languages is a good example of that space/room to improve.

For someone who learns how to use the software and picks up on the "language" of R, it's very easy to use. For beginners, it can be hard and might require a course, as well as the appropriate statistical training to understand what packages to use and when

RStudio is very available and cheap to use. It needs to be updated every once in a while, but the updates tend to be quick and they do not hinder my ability to make progress. I have not experienced any RStudio outages, and I have used the application quite a bit for a variety of statistical analyses

Every rep has been nice and helpful whenever I call for help. One of the systems froze and wouldn't start back up and with the help of our assigned rep we got everything back up in a timely manner. This helped us not lose customers and money.

Implementation Rating
In fact, you only need the basic tech knowledge to do a Google search. You need to know if your organization requires it or not,. our organization required it. And that is why we acquired it and solved a need that we had been suffering from. This is part of the modernization of an organization and part of its growth as a company.

We did it at the individual level: anyone willing to code in R can use it. No real deployment involved.

Google's documentation for their AI and Machine Learning products is a bit more straightforward and still much easier to onboard into compared to the Azure Machine Learning and other AI products. Additionally, Google's Cloud AI products provide more comprehensive specific use-cases that are API-optimized, and easier to integrate into existing scripts and backends.

RStudio was provided as the most customizable. It was also strictly the most feature-rich as far as enabling our organization to script, run, and make use of R open-source packages in our data analysis workstreams. It also provided some support for python, which was useful when we had R heavy code with some python threaded in. Overall we picked Rstudio for the features it provided for our data analysis needs and the ability to interface with our existing resources.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
I think that RStudio scales pretty well based on the size of the datasets I'm using. It has multithreading capabilities unlike some other statistical analysis programs which is very useful in cutting down on time. The format of RStudio's syntax also makes it very easy to replicate regardless off the scale of the analysis and data set

Return on Investment
  • Positive impact on ROI due to reduction in staff needed to build, deploy and manage a AI workload pipeline.
  • Positive impact on the business by moving to OpEx without need for upfront CapEx investment.
  • Improvement in time to analyze the data (structured and unstructured), increasing the business's ability to act based on AI results.

  • Using it for data science in a very big and old company, the most positive impact, from my point of view, has been the ability of spreading data culture across the group. Shortening the path from data to value.
  • Still it's hard to quantify economic benefits, we are struggling and it's a great point of attention, since splitting out the contribution of the single aspects of a project (and getting the RStudio pie) is complicated.
  • What is sure is that, in the long run, RStudio is boosting productivity and making the process in which is embedded more efficient (cost reduction).
