The autocomplete feature on the R-Studio IDE is remarkable, it completes the function for you and also gives you tips on what arguments should be keyed into the functions. > > **Cons**: I have not discovered any feature I don't like yet in R, for now, its just remarkable for statistical analysis and visualization. > > I use R-Studio regularly at the office for data and statistical analysis and also data visualization. ----- ### "Best stats program around" — 5.0/5 > **Martin** | *3 December 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that makes R language a bit more intuitive, since it has built-in functionalities that operate in that language, making it more accesible. > > **Cons**: I wish it had more built-in processes, so to make the use of R easier across the board. Sometimes, I find it difficult to find which code to use. > > Great software that has made the use of R for stats way easier. ----- ### "R for Data Analysts" — 5.0/5 > **Vivek** | *19 November 2021* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has always been a tool for statisticians. It provides very specific ML libraries for very specific tasks. The libraries are strategically developed to cater to every minute hyperparameter tuning to achieve optimum results. RStudio allows the codes to be converted to markdowns which can be converted to HTML pages and published as websites effortlessly. > > **Cons**: As mentioned, the R language is quite challenging for naïve users and hence its documentation is also very technical. Its requires some time to gain hands-on experience to get used to this tool. The customer support is also not quite established as compared to python. > > R was created keeping the data science community in mind, and till date it has lived up to their standards. It is a tool purely focused on analytics and creation of machine learning models. Its libraries allows users to tweak every possible parameters to get the desired results. ----- ### "R Studio - larger learning curve than SPSS but will save you money" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 September 2020* | Research | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the price of R/Rstudio - free\! Competitors such as SPSS/IBM are expensive for one year licenses. I love how Rstudio is open source. > > **Cons**: I dislike how it's more similar to traditional python coding. Competitors such as SPSS have point and click options that are more comprehensive and straightforward. > > R studio works well, but it could be better. It's an open source software so I do not know if I should expect it to be better, though. You get more than what you pay for (nothing), but the expensive options are worth the price if you can afford it. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/210152/rstudio?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/210152/rstudio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
