I would recommend it to any analyst. Pros I like that this software is easy to use and learn. It is helpful for statistical modeling and doesnt require too much training. Cons I do not like that it does not have as much help documentation as other tools i have used. Switched from [Minitab](https://www.capterra.com/p/109731/Minitab-Statistical-Software/) I learned to code in R and so i decided to go with a new tool. Review Source Jason L. Hospitality Intelligence Consultant Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy IDE" December 29, 2018 5.0 I use R Studio on a daily basis to interact with data. It's my go-to software anytime I need to do something too big for Excel or something that might need to be repeated. Pros Such a user-friendly IDE. It makes managing all of my active data objects, visualizations, and packages extremely easy. Cons Nobody will ever accuse R or R Studio in being the fastest or most memory-efficient software. Review Source RS Rhonda S. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Do not buy this product. They treat people with disabilities like garbage." May 12, 2022 2.0 I had a minor technical issue and R-Studio would not spend 30 seconds on the phone assisting me, a person with a disability who cannot process their written instructions. I don't whine about my disability. I simply ask for an accommodation, which, in my country, is required by law. I hope consumers who require data recovery software consider alternative products before giving their money to these ignorant people. Pros I think it can work if you understand how to use it. Cons The instructions are now impossible for me to understand. I have owned this software for many years; however, my disability is worse and I could not get through the first step.... Select Drive. It was always "greyed out." I phoned tech support because I have a disability... HE WOULD NOT HELP ME! I told him I cannot email because of my disability... He told me to hire a professional data recovery company. I said nothing is wrong with my drive, I am only looking for one file. He said he had another call and he hung up on me. Reason for choosing R-Studio Data Recovery I read they are the best. I no longer care about R-Studio's product. I give my money to ethical companies that I respect. Review Source Aastha B. Sr. Project Manager Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "R Studio Review 2020" May 26, 2020 5.0 Data Visualization, Tabulation, Data Analysis Pros R is a great software. Its a standalone software that helps in meeting all the data analysis tasks like - Data Processing, Data Tabulation, WEighting, Data Visualization , Reporting, Data Transformation everything. To become a Data Scientist we need to understand R. Most if the features are free of cost. Cons There are long codes if we can reduce the coding a bit and can add drag and drop features. Otherwise its a great tool. Review Source Doug E. Owner/President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "R-Studio can save the day" October 31, 2019 5.0 I have been able to restore data for users who have no backup and have thousands of pictures and vital data. Pros The ability to image seemingly dead hard-drives and restore data is powerful. Also the ability to connect to remote systems is another great feature. Cons At present, it does well with the intended purpose. I have not had any issues that I would consider to be a con. Review Source William F. Chief Operating Officer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very capable recovery software" August 21, 2018 5.0 We have used this for several years to recover lost files and lost file systems for our customers. Pros One of the most amazing features of this software is the ability to reconstruct failed RAID arrays. You can images the individual drives, then build the virtual array in the software. Once done, you can recovery files from the old array without it being intact. This alone makes this software invaluable, but it also routinely outperforms nearly any other software we compare it to. Cons It has a slight learning curve, and it takes a little longer than most of our other recovery software options. But it works better than most, so we are ok with that. Review Source Rajat W. Process Data Engineer(Subsurface and Wells) Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Platform for R" November 20, 2018 5.0 Great experience, developed and deployed a lot of scripts. Pros Very well integrated platform to develop scripts in R. Lots of pre installed modules really helps to automate the repetitive work which are prone to human error. Since it is open source dubugging is quite easy. More user friendly than python. Cons Not very well integrated as compared to python based platforms. Review Source Jay M. Student Industrial Automation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simply Amazing!" December 11, 2019 5.0 I have made an image classifier on both, Python and R. Pros I work on datasets while pursuing my ambition to be a part of Data Science. The first and foremost step is to process the given data. Earlier I used to use Pycharm for all my work but R-Studio is the one tool I missed. I realized that lately. It has already inbuilt libraries which reduce the code and hence the workload by half. All you need to do is call the given library. Cons I couldn't find any flaw as such. Even if you work on Python or R, your code must be correct. Be careful about the indexing as it is different in both. Also, sometimes python helps in detailed analysis. Review Source Natalie W. Admissions Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "R Studio- Easy to use" November 12, 2018 5.0 I used R Studio for a beginning stats class. I have coding background so I figured it out pretty easily. Others in my class really struggled because even the help sites are expained with code. Be fore you use R studio, be sure to take a coding class. Pros R studio is pretty easy to use if you have some coding background. It was pretty easy to find help for most of my questions on the web. Cons Some of the packages are not stable. If you are a beginner, this may not be the stats software for you. Review Source Vahid A. Research Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very useful software for data analytics and data science" July 21, 2019 4.0 Pros I am using this software for more than 1 year and I can say it has so many useful packages which makes everything easier in data analytics and data science. Cons I can not mention any specific problem for this software. Review Source LB Larry B. Artist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "R Studio Data Recovery" December 27, 2024 4.0 R Studio Data Recovery is a product I used during my time in University. While not necessary to operate in R, I certainly found the platform useful in learning user controls. Pros R Studio Data Recovery makes R more user friendly and accessible. Cons While useful, R Studio is not entirely intuitive; I anticipate many first time users would still require detailed instructions. Review Source SBA Setegn Bayabil A.

Cons Yes improved and basically it is simple with all Review Source MD Morgan D. Student Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RStudio for all things statistics" February 9, 2021 5.0 I've used RStudio for many years to process the data associated with my PhD research. It is particularly useful for all statistics needs. Pros Rstudio is extremely easy to use. My favorite feature is the plotting tab. The plotting window makes it is to refine your graphics and look at the output in real time. Additionally, the top right window "Environment" let's you check on the data you have loaded into the workspace, very convenient to have a graphic user interface to look at the data tables instead of writing in a view or print line of code. Cons The biggest pain point for me is occasionally crashing of the program due to the large size of the files I work with. Review Source SH Shelby H. computer technician Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "R-Studio is a definite go to in the data recovery industry!!" July 22, 2019 5.0 With R-Studio being an option for our business, we are not only able to use our DDI Disk Imager for data recovery but also R-Studio. Sometimes the drive is not failed but files have just been deleted and R-Studio is the man for that job getting the deleted files back. Pros R-Studio is reliable, can recover deleted files, easy to use. We use R-Studio at our data recovery business "Total Access Data Recovery" so often. Cons The only con is the cost of the program but the cost of data recovery is much higher so it paid for itself. Reason for choosing R-Studio Data Recovery R-STudio was always our number one go to program for data recovery Review Source RS Rex S. AI Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "R-Studio is the only IDE that should be used for R" May 31, 2019 5.0 Pros I spent a lot of time trying not to use R-Studio because I like to fight against the norm. I found that there are not other competitive IDE's for R. If time is spent to learn the hot keys and enhancements in R-Studio (such as the markdown and GitHub enhancements), one will not want to use other IDEs for R. Cons At first the product seems clunky until the shortcuts are learned. I should have watched a video for it when I was first using it.

Pros Very good programming tool for mathematician. Strong for data science and analytics task.

Senior software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "RStudio Best" January 3, 2020 5.0 I love this IDE, i am learning R these days and I am really enjoying Rstudio Pros Ease of use, function of choosing packages, setting working directory and seeing plots while working on R Cons Its very slow sometimes loading a code for a plot, it gets stuck and hard to kill that session, I wish it was faster Review Source JM Jorge M. UX Researcher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""R" is your savior and nemesis" May 25, 2020 5.0 I loved that it was free and worked well. However, it definitely made life a little bit more complicated because I just could not figure out things on my own. Do R if you have a bunch of friends jumping on it with you because it requires a lot of team effort and help. Pros Nothing beats free and that is for sure true with R statistics because it offers a great range of functions for free. It is such a beautiful software to do graphs and run regressions. Cons Free, of course, comes at a price. Ironic, right? it definitely will take a long time before you feel proficient at what you are doing in "R". It requires a lot of guidance to know you are on the right track. I had to spend hours of hours with a TA to figure out how to use it at a low intermediate level. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graduate Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "excellent IDE for R users" September 30, 2019 5.0 Pros An excellent IDE for those who are familiar with R. Cons When you open many script tabs, the memory bounds, or some internal problems, it crashes. In that case, using R (without IDE like R-Studio) is a better way. Review Source Prasun P.

The functionality of exporting makes it easier to add onto the code or even import it into already, made work, like Word documents. Cons There's a lot of confusing aspects about this software.
