Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

RStudio is used as a free, open-source alternative to MATLAB. We can generate custom codes to solve a variety of data analysis problems. These scripts can be easily shared with other users with little hassle in trying to purchase additional software.
  • Easy to learn language
  • Clean UI for R software
RStudio is the free alternative to MATLAB. It works just as well as the other software, and more features can be accessed but to the open-source nature. This software is more commonplace in the research lab setting due to its free cost.
I never had to get support for RStudio.

RStudio integrates the R language software easily. The program can be used on both Mac and PCs, which increases its accessibility to a broader user base. The program works well for our data analysis needs. Graphics can be lacking though compared to paid software.
