Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft R (formerly Revolution R)
Microsoft R is typically used for statistics and data analysis needs for marketing data and developing machine learning algorithms. It helps solve optimization and developing predictive models. R is currently being used by one person in the department considering the size of the company, but looking to add more users of R sooner or later.
Pros
- It's free
- It's open source
- Does the same statistical and data analysis as other programs
Cons
- Very high learning curve
- Helped save company money versus buying other stat software
R requires knowledge of programming and can be a high learning curve versus if you're using a user-friendly SPSS or JMP.
