Addressing installation challenges to utilize interactive dashboards effectively
Reviewed on Feb 12, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I use Posit for both Posit Connect and Posit Workbench. The Workbench is used for development, as there are many packages not supported by RStudio because I didn't have RStudio Pro. Posit Connect is used to host applications, such as the R application and R Shiny application, connecting to Azure SQL and database instances.
What is most valuable?
Posit is valuable because many geo-scientists I work with are more comfortable writing R scripts and using R Shiny, making it a suited choice for them. On top of that, it integrates with the application and database, creating interactive dashboards. While there's a need to manage a significant portion manually, the performance overall is stable.
What needs improvement?
Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline. Its documentation is weak, which can make installation cumbersome for someone without terminal experience. Additionally, there are some cost constraints associated with user scaling and the role management configuration can be tricky.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Posit from January to May.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Initially, I faced issues with the pre-installed instance from the Azure marketplace, which did not work as expected. I overcame these by provisioning my own Linux machine on Azure and managing it myself, which proved effective.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Posit is relatively stable in terms of performance once set up. During the initial setup, however, I encountered issues with dependencies and package management.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are limitations related to user scaling where costs increase with additional users.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support I received is rated six to seven out of ten. They operate on US time, which can delay responses, sometimes taking up to 48 hours. Their documentation and support responses often refer to existing documentation without providing new insights.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is cumbersome and requires considerable effort, especially concerning dependencies, the mail server, DNS setup, and other configurations. It needs about two to three weeks of dedicated work to establish everything.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
RStudio Pro and Workbench are quite expensive. Workbench is especially costly because it supports multiple sessions, so there's a strategy to use it only during full-phase development, then switch to R desktop to save costs.
What other advice do I have?
If you are strictly focused on R, Posit can be a good fit. However, if you're also dealing with Python or need flexibility with additional customizations, consider DataBricks instead. I rate Posit between five and six.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Microsoft Azure
