Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

We use the suite of RStudio products within our (small) team but we serve a larger department. We address different kinds of business. We use RStudio Package Manager to distribute the code produced by expert programmers as R packages; we use RStudio Server Pro to develop the code of R packages, scripts and shiny apps; we use RStudio Connect to distribute shiny apps to colleagues of other departments.

Pros

  • Simultaneous management of programming environment for different sessions.
  • Code management via git.
  • Deployment of shiny apps.

Cons

  • Management of different versions of packages, especially from bioconductor.
  • Better integration with bioconductor.
  • RStudio Connect on Windows.
  • Dashboard of app usage (by different users) for RStudio Connect.
  • Several non-R-users can use app with plots (heatmaps, scatterplots) based on R.
  • Automatic reports can be easily produced.
  • Several non-R-users can run R-scripts.
I used to use PyCharm for python, I did not try any other software for R.
Well suited scenario is for the deployment of shiny apps.

    Thanks so much for leaving a review. Regarding your feedback on bioconductor, we just announced support for bioconductor packages. See https://blog.rstudio.com/2020/12/07/package-manager-1-2-0/ for more info.
