Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

I use RStudio to produce descriptive and predictive analytics surrounding various business products. My analytics help higher-ups understand the efficiencies and problem areas in business processes and make evidence-based decisions. The data visualizations I generate in [RStudio] are especially instrumental in presenting accurate, easily consumable metrics for lay audiences.
  • Visualizing data
  • Integration with other programming languages and tools
  • Variety of inbuilt functions and packages
  • Dashboard publishing
  • Processing is slow when working with large datasets
  • Description of bugs could be clearer
  • More tutorials on capabilities
  • Business decisions based on empirical data promotes growth
  • Collaboration across teams saves time
  • RStudio's integration with other languages eliminates [the] need for other software, saving money
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 tool [that] is frequently updated. SAS is better when working with large datasets, and SPSS has better data imaging. [RStudio] is the most compatible with python code in my opinion, and is better for collaboration.

Would you buy Posit again?

Yes

I would definitely recommend RStudio for business analytics. The interface is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. There are a wide array of inbuilt functions and limitless packages available to support almost any analysis desired. The only caveat is processing tends to be slow for datasets larger than about 2 GB.
