Considered Both Products	Posit (formerly RStudio) Verified User Chose Posit I used them to run Python codes, so that not really comparable here. I will describe my experience around it. I feel that Jupyter Notebook is the closest product to RMarkdown file, as it allows users to run line by line and share outcomes underneath. PyCharm and Visual Studio … Incentivized Helpful? Terry Leitch Faculty in Finance and Accounting at Johns Hopkins (Education Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit Far better integrated and easy to use. The only full-blown Python IDE is PyCharm, and it is a monolith. I used Spyder instead. I was very happy when RStudio added Python support so I can ditch Jupyter Notebooks, which really isn't an IDE but is more like RMarkdown, a small … Incentivized Helpful? Esther Kukielka - PhD, DVM, MSc Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Officer in Research & Development at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Research, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit I used PyCharm for another project with Python. Both RStudio and PyCharm are free, so cost is not an issue. I've worked with RStudio for much longer, so I am used to it's interface. I haven't worked with Python as much, but I think they now have that feature I mentioned before … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit PyCharm does not provide the same functionalities as described above. However, is more suitable when working on large-scale projects due to its great file organizing system. Incentivized Helpful? Nicolò Manca Data Scientist in Corporate at Coesia spa (Packaging & Containers, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Posit RStudio overcomes Anaconda spider and PyCharm for the simplicity of installation and usage. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit I used to use PyCharm for python, I did not try any other software for R. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit Comparing RStudio to PyCharm is basically comparing R to Python, since if it is only comparing the IDEs in R, there are almost no competitors that have the same level of ability as RStudio. However, there is a trend of shifting from R to Python and PyCharm would be very strong. Incentivized Helpful? Leah Jakaitis Senior Data Analyst in Marketing at Tulco Labs (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Posit RStudio works similarly to PyCharm (and PyCharm can support R code) insofar as it's a development environment meant to improve the coding experience and easily provide commonly used resources (packages). They both provide a navigable dev environment with some learning curve. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit RStudio stacks up pretty well against its competition. For me, it is really up to personal preference and what you are used to when deciding between the competitions. I like that Python packages have the most external resources, so it's easier to troubleshoot. But RStudio does … Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Celada Business Intelligence & Pricing Manager in Information Technology at Millicom (Tigo) (Telecommunications, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Posit RStudio Server Pro + RStudio Connect allows greater flexibility and lower cost compared with Cloudera DSW: With RStudio Team licensing we can have multiple installations of RStudio Server on different servers, allowing us to have separate resources for different teams inside … Incentivized Helpful? B. Mark Ewing Digital Corporate Technology Manager – R&D in Information Technology at Eastman Chemical Company (Chemicals, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit In the space of data science tools, code is king. It enables use of standard version control systems like git, access to a wealth of expertise via StackOverflow and others, is commonly used in modern education programs, and more. Other solutions in this space are built on … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit RStudio gives a more integrated R experience compared to Jupyter. RStudio is the ideal tool for running R interactively. Incentivized Helpful? Flavio Leccese Group Data Scientist in Human Resources at Coesia S.p.A. (Machinery, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Posit We needed a product very, very flexible, from a company we trusted and which shared the same vision of data science: not plug & play stuff like (almost) all other product. Cost of course is a great plus because we have been able to get our sponsor buying it in a very short time … Incentivized Helpful? Heramb Gadgil Data Scientist in Information Technology at General Mills (Food & Beverages, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit RStudio is the only R-friendly IDE. None of the IDEs, even though they offer R-plugins, are as intuitive as RStudio. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit We have considered other editors for R, but no other editor is as feature rich as RStudio. Since RStudio makes an open-source version of their products available, we were able to increase adoption within the organization with zero risk and zero cost and buy into the commercial … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit While many of these are great, RStudio is the best for R work. There is also native support in the IDE for combining other languages, like Python, into workflows easily so work across languages can be handled in one location. Incentivized Helpful? Sean Corbett Scientist in Research & Development at Agios Pharmaceuticals (Biotechnology, 501-1000 employees) Chose Posit Because RStudio is more specifically focused on facilitating programming in R, whereas these other IDEs focus either on more general programming frameworks or a different language, it is the best choice for most of our analysis. Computational biology relies heavily on the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit As we have R Language expertise in-house RStudio was the best option for us. Incentivized Helpful? Ning Rui Senior Research Scientist in Research & Development at Amazon (Human Resources, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit It is much easier to share and adapt code among coworkers Incentivized Helpful? Rodrigo Pérez Romero Profiling Specialist at Tigo Guatemala (Telecommunications, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Posit It is a lot easier to use and makes it easier for collaborative work and reusing code from other people. Incentivized Helpful? Xiaotong Song Business Analyst in Corporate at 3M (Cosmetics, 10,001+ employees) Chose Posit Rstudio itself is very close to PyCharm but due to the R language and the package building system. What is more, object-oriented programming is more widely adopted in python rather than R, and deep learning packages are more available in python. The language is losing … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit For R programming, it's the de-facto because it's designed specifically for it, but other language support is getting stronger. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit We have only used RStudio to do any coding or scripts in R. Among other IDE's it was decided to use RStudio since it had the best documentation and an active community that pushes out pretty frequent updates. Cost of the platform and for training was also a consideration and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit As for now, RStudio has no significant competitors on the market. As I have mentioned before, to date, it is the best possible option to take, if you wish to use R programming language with IDE, because it is the most powerful one. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Posit For R and Python users, it’s one of the best tool available for developing, testing and deploying products. Cost-wise, it's a bigger bang for the buck than other platforms that were evaluated. Incentivized Helpful?

Leah Jakaitis Senior Data Analyst in Marketing at Tulco Labs (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose PyCharm PyCharm is the only Python IDE I've used - all my prior experience was with text editors like Sublime, Notepad++, Atom, etc. The only other IDE I've used is RStudio, which has been fairly limited to small, individual projects.
