Overall Satisfaction with Posit
We use Posit to process large amounts of data, both for importing into other systems and after exporting back from them. Other uses cases include performing statistical analysis and creating visualizations. Posit makes it easy to perform complex manipulations on large datasets and automate long complicated processes, saving us a ton of time and removes the potential of human error.
- Data processing
- Statistical analysis
- Libraries for just about every use case
- Improved debugging tools - breakpoints can be clunky
- Better generalisation - creating for loops to handle dynamic data can be a pain
- Garbage collection - when working with large datasets it can be necessary to manage memory yourself
- Time saved
- More accurate data
- Greater reporting capacity
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 it on speed and interactivity. Being able to jump in and out of objects without having to re-compile is a blessing.
