I work for a research institute. I have used R for several years.
I think there are some good and bad sides followings:
Good sides are: I can use new statistical methods from R. no license
fee..
Bad sides are : physical memory in PC is an obstacle (max. 3GB),
The limits are not that small on either Mac OS X or Linux systems.
some
package of R is still being developed(unstable-not really a
problem), kind
manual( this will be OK if you have training from some R company)

SAS is starting to charge us a very deep amount for license renewal.
Since we are a non-profit organization that is definitely not
sustainable. The team is brainstorming possibility of switching
to R,
at least gradually. I am talking about the entire institute with
considerable number of analysts using SAS their entire career.
Theres a handful of us using R regularly. What kind of problems
and
challenges have you faced? Any insight is much appreciated. Thank
you very much!

One of your challenges will be that with the increased productivity
of the
team you will have time for more intellectually challenging
problems. That
frustrates some people.
