The PDF now also contains a brief overview that ranks the software in different categories. It is important to mention that Dedoose and the NVIVO server version allow for simultaneous access to project files MAXQDA, ATLAS.TI and the standard version of NVIVO do not offer this. The learning curve is small to do basic tasks, but there are many advanced features that can take longer to get accustomed to. Delve is for qualitative researchers who conduct in-depth interviews, focus groups, contextual inquiry, generative research, ethnographic research, and foundational research. Many people like that it is flexible and provides organization for the entire project. This table does not contain comparisons of teamwork/collaborative functionality a separate guide on this topic will be available soon. NVivo is software for Qualitative Research from Lumivero (encompassing QSR International ). Comprehensive comparisons of different packages can be found on the CAQDAS Networking Project’s website. While I try to keep this list up-to-date, updates and version changes may not be reflected immediately in this list. I am comparing some important features & design elements along the lines of the main areas in which QDA software can help you with: Organization of data, annotation, searching, and export/display. Please note that this table will not tell you which is the ‘best’ program.

It has been designed for qualitative researchers working with very rich text-based and/or multimedia information, where deep levels of analysis on small or large volumes of data are required. This comparative table is most useful for people who have already worked with one of the programs, or who are familiar with the general functionality of QDA software. NVivo is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) computer software package produced by QSR International. AT THIS POINT, IT REPRESENTS A HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT. EDIT (): PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COMPARISON & TIER REPRESENTATION IS OUTDATED DUE TO RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATES AND NEW VERSIONS.
