- 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%)
- 1 star: 1 reviews (1%)

### Most mentioned pros

- So I think it's a pretty solid and simpler tool, even though it offers many options for exploring data.
- Coding is really easy, and it offers lots of other features that I haven't used yet, but which don't clutter up the interface for simpler tasks.
- Working with an international research consortium involving research teams across several Latin American countries, we found the ATLAS.ti team amazing in terms of offering us personalized virtual training sessions for our teams (this in addition to the online pre-recorded trainings they have, which are also very useful).

### Most mentioned cons

- For example, if you go into your project, you have a settings button for application preferences, project preferences and Atlas.ti. But, this is not the right options button for when you want to know where this particular project is located.
- No idea where my files are, how to access this cloud (I believe you can't actually access it), and how much space you have left to upload.
- The hotkeys, you cannot change hotkeys. Why? And who was the genius to program this in a way that when you transcribe, the spacebar is the pause button? When I transcribe, this very slow hiccup program, sometimes get's out of edit mode.

### ATLAS.ti Web is easy to use and great for teamwork

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Cristina H.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: July 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

My team would not have been able to make sense of our data if we couldn’t collaborate in real time in ATLAS.ti Web. I definitely recommend ATLAS.ti Web for teamwork. We coded our data using our own codes plus AI generated codes, we created reports, and we successfully completed our project, even while being located in different countries.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It was so much easier to complete our analysis without having to merge different files and resolve conflicts etc. I like that I can work on my projects from anywhere, that all my projects are saved online. The interface is also really easy to understand, so I don’t have to spend time learning how to use the program.

#### Cons

ATLAS.ti Web also needs code co-occurrence analysis tools. I saw this is available in ATLAS.ti Desktop, and it is a very useful tool to analyze coding patterns.

#### Vendor response

Dear Cristina, thank you very much for sharing your experience! We're very happy to learn that ATLAS.ti Web made it possible for you and your team to collaborate on your project. Since ATLAS.ti Web is based fully online, it has the unique potential to allow researchers to work together in real time on the same project. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, and teamwork is such an important part of research that we are glad that ATLAS.ti Web can take the headache out of managing different files and conflicting changes. Our developers are continuously working to further optimize ATLAS.ti Web, so you can expect even more powerful and easy to use features in the future, including tools to analyze patterns among codes. In the meanwhile, please feel free to move your ATLAS.ti Web project to ATLAS.ti Windows or Mac to enjoy any of the other features included in the Desktop version, such as the code co-occurrence analysis tool. Later you can always move your project back to ATLAS.ti Web, because ATLAS.ti includes compatibility between all our platforms. If you ever have any questions or comments, please count on our support. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email. We wish you all the best in your research!

### What Atlas should be, but is actually not.

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Billie v.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Higher Education
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: May 2025
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Terrible, frustrating, slow, hiccup, non customizable, non field tested, fast coded (not compact) program, that sabotages your work, workflow, for exactly that basic elemental work you have to do in social qualitative research: transcribing and coding. The fundamental, hiccups, no customization is counter productive and especially sabotages your work(flow). It's utterly terrible.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

I don't know, maybe the analysing after coding? The visualization, what makes it good for research. Maybe the automatic labels you can create and don't have to manually write (in the old days?). Nothing more.

#### Cons

It is the least customizable program in history. - the constant saving when you apply a code, why can't I change that? For every code I apply, I have to wait for 10 -15 seconds for the project to save. Every time! It's sabotaging my process. - The hotkeys, you cannot change hotkeys. Why? And who was the genius to program this in a way that when you transcribe, the spacebar is the pause button? When I transcribe, this very slow hiccup program, sometimes get's out of edit mode. So when you type, and push spacebar, the video recording starts to play, pauses, starts to play again, pauses. Sometimes, due to other hotkeys, the sound is muted, or you start at the beginning of the video. - Applying codes, takes a long time to process. - Constant hiccups. Slow, counter productive for research, and as a student, it really frustrates all these hiccups. At the end of the day, maybe 1 or 2 hours are basically lost due to this programs hiccups, constant saving and what not.

- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: January 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Great software with all of the capabilities needed for qualitative research.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I've used other qualitative coding software before but the reason I began using ATLAS.ti is because of its ability to import and code media files. Specifically, I began using it to code video interviews for a project I'm working on.

#### Cons

Some of the features, particularly how to create and apply codes are not intuitive. Additionally, I had some trouble finding the right user manual.

#### Reasons for switching to ATLAS.ti

Nvivo does not have the capability to analyze media files.

#### Vendor response

Hi Jane, thank you very much for your feedback! We are very happy that the ATLAS.ti applications have helped you to easily analyze your multimedia files.

### Good access for Education Institution

- Reviewer: Rolando S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: October 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

The cloud version is the one of choice for initial users and has reasonable pricing. I mostly use that one. I'd recommend the local version for mid to advanced users. The speed of the work increases a lot with the AI functions, that is something you will be using with big amounts of data.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Pricing is good for educational first users and students get free trials and discounts. That's especially useful for students and teachers abroad, who end up paying from their pockets. The software is stable and work amazingly.

#### Cons

The learning curve is complex. I recommend watching the tutorials and using the learning options more than once. It's like other specialized software. It will take a while to get the most out of it, and it can turn expensive sometimes.

#### Reasons for choosing ATLAS.ti

Previous experience using older versions

#### Vendor response

Dear Rolando, thank you very much for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you have found ATLAS.ti to be accessible and powerful. We strive to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere. That is why we have a dedicated team available to help 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email.

### So intuitive for coding qualitative data!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Valentina H.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospitality
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: July 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I like how easy it is to code qualitative data in ATLAS.ti. The software covers everything you need: ability to organize all types of qualitative data, writes notes on your thinking and research process, intuitive coding features, and many approaches to retrieving and analyzing coded data.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I find ATLAS.ti to offer the most intuitive approach to coding because I can use keyboard shortcuts, and all of the codes are easily accessible in a searchable list, and other times I like to just drag codes from the list on the left and drop them onto quotations.

#### Cons

There are not many color choices for codes. I like that codes can be organized into levels, groups, and colors, but I sometimes could use even more colors than those in the software.

#### Vendor response

Dear Valentina, thank you very much for your feedback! We're thrilled that you find ATLAS.ti intuitive to use for your coding. We understand that coding is one of the most essential aspects of qualitative research, which is why we have placed great importance in making this as comfortable as possible for any researcher, working in any area or research project.

A range of colors is already included, and together with code groups, folders, and hierarchical structuring, you can organize your code list in a variety of ways. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, and we will work to offer even more color options for codes so that you can organize your codes in whichever way suits you best.

### Efficient multi-user management system

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Alireza N.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: E-Learning
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: March 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I’m in charge of handling the software licenses our department uses, and one of the most important things for me is the ability to easily give software access to everyone who needs it and when they need it. I really like how easy the ATLAS.ti multi-user management is, because I can add and remove people as needed and they can install the software on whichever computer they want (other software we use limit the installations per device or link licences with specific devices which was always an obstacle when we had people leaving and joining different teams).

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It’s really easy to add and remove license users, each person can install the software on their Windows or Mac, on their office and personal computers, and they can access their projects across their different computers.

#### Cons

The annual subscription is a bit of a pain in our department because we have to submit a bundle of paperwork each time the subscription needs to be renewed. I’d love to not have to do this every year.

#### Vendor response

Hi Alireza, thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the ATLAS.ti user management system to be efficient. ATLAS.ti multi-user licenses can be shared with as many people as you wish, and the ATLAS.ti account page makes it easy for license admins to see who is using the license and invite or block users. Whenever someone logs out of ATLAS.ti, their seat is immediately freed up for anyone else to use by logging into ATLAS.ti Windows, Mac, or Web. In addition, projects can be moved back-and-forth between ATLAS.ti Windows and Mac with 100% compatibility, and projects can be imported between ATLAS.ti Windows/Mac and ATLAS.ti Web. We strive to make sure licenses are being used as efficiently as possible so that you can always share access with anyone who needs it, regardless of which ATLAS.ti platform they are using. We also understand that an annual subscription may not be desirable for institutional budgets and approval processes, and that is why we also offer the option to subscribe to the license for 3 years. That way, you do not need to renew the subscription each year. We hope you find this helpful, and if you ever have any questions or doubts, please count on our support! We are here for you 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email. We wish you all the best in your research!

### Time-saving tool for Qual analysis

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Adwoa A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's quite intuitive and relatively easy to use. It also has some pretty cool features if you want to do some advanced analysis. I mainly use it for coding and categorizing my data.

#### Cons

There are some basic functionalities that I think would make it more intuitive. E.g. It would be great to be able to select multiple files/codes/other entities at the same time. It would be great to select/combine different parts of a text as 1 quote. These are two things that may seem minor (there's more) but reduce the intuitiveness of the software. After coding, I usually end up exporting to Excel so I can have smaller chunks of data and combine sentences from different parts of my interviews - which is then double-coding.

### Remarkable product for assistive tech

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Dawn W.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Research
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I can write notes, code, code reports and write research papers using ATLas in a way that is proving increasingly difficult to do by hand due to disabilities. I may still be learning how to use ATLas and how to use it in particular for my assistive needs but it means I can research independently.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I needed this type of QDA software for assistive tech to be able to do the research I wanted to do. Of six or so software I tried, many were entirely inaccessible due to how they were constructed, were arranged in ways I did not understand or stripped PDFs of all content when OCRing so that I could not bring up a exact visual when checking a document source. Of these, only ATLAs extended a lengthy trial to me to see how I could use ATLAs as assistive tech and to build on its future assistive tech features. I’m grateful as this enables me to have the time to prep and load research into ATLas and still have time to learn the program.

#### Cons

I would like to know how other people use the software to store documents without overwhelming the computer particularly since I plan to use it for multiple projects. Atlas support has been quite accommodating in trying to help with this and this con is not the fault of the product so much as it is what I’m doing to make the product work for me.

#### Vendor response

Hi Dawn, thank you very much for your feedback! We are really glad that you have found our ATLAS.ti applications to be an optimal and helpful substitution for on-hand data-analysis. Indeed, the current ATLAS.ti applications do not have any limit in terms of the size and amount of data that can be imported and analyzed through the application. We are glad that our support team has been able to help you with your specific needs, and please feel free to take advantage of our free live chat, telephone, and email support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week if you ever have any further questions or concerns.

### Desktop version is great, but stay away from the web version

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Adrian S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Human Resources
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: January 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Important product to perform literature research or qualitative analysis. Desktop version is good and helps especially with scientific work. Just do not use the web version, then you can be sure that you can work well on your project.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 2/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Files are easy to import and you also save time on literature searches because you only have to read books once and then you can easily search for statements within all books.

#### Cons

Web version works too slowly and errors occur when encoding PDF files. There are also problems when exporting projects, so that it is not even possible to continue working in the desktop version. Customer service definitely handles such cases too slowly.

#### Vendor response

Hello Adrian, thank you for sharing your feedback. I checked the communication between you and ATLAS.ti. After your first inquiry on Friday December 16th , I can see our user support team asked you to invite our technicians to your ATLAS.ti Web project the following workday on Monday, December 19th, but we didn't receive a confirmation from you until Friday, January 6th. That same day, our user support team immediately followed up with our technicians to confirm everything was received correctly, then the following workday Monday January 9th one of our senior technicians wrote you that he is working on it, and we received no further communications from you. Upon investigating (between January 9th and 12th), we saw that the huge PDF you used was "corrupt" and when it was technically translated so that it could be used in the Web version, it created errors because of the characters in your PDF. We then fixed these characters in the translated ATLAS.ti PDF and everything was resolved by Thursday, January 12th. As you can see, we were very responsive (at latest we responded the next day, but mostly during the very same day), and we fixed your problem, which occured because of the characteristics of the PDF that you uploaded, within 3 days which also is a very good time. If PDFs that have these kind of "corrupt" characters are uploaded in ATLAS.ti (or any other web-software) they create problems and this is not our fault and we do not have to solve that problem. Since we try to help every user we nevertheless have taken care of the problem and solved it. Your comments that the Web version creates errors, that the conversion to the Desktop version does not work, or that our support is too slow is just not true and millions of users have no problem with their projects in any way. Of course we know that people can get angry if they face such problems but this is not due to ATLAS.ti as described above. Our user support team is always available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week via live chat, telephone, and email. Please always feel free to reach out to them if you ever have more questions or comments. In the past year, our user support team has received 95% positive ratings from ATLAS.ti Web users, which suggests that ATLAS.ti Web has been successfully facilitating qualitative research and users have been largely satisfied with the support they've received from us. And last but not least, ATLAS.ti is the only software package in that field that offers FREE support 24/5 with not extra costs, with no extra maintenance to pay for etc. no matter if our users are students or researchers in a big company. We were happy to help. See here also the other unique advantages of ATLAS.ti: https://atlasti.com/why-atlas-ti

Our overall experience was excellent. ATLAS.ti was key in helping us to achieve a complex, multi-country research study with large amounts of qualitative data in a simple, straightforward, and efficient fashion. We were able to generate analyses and then present our findings at research conferences and in publications much more rapidly than might have been the case with other programs. The team at ATLAS.ti really puts a human face on the package and is always ready to help out and schedule tailored trainings to meet their customers' needs. This was really quite impressive to us.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

Working with an international research consortium involving research teams across several Latin American countries, we found the ATLAS.ti team amazing in terms of offering us personalized virtual training sessions for our teams (this in addition to the online pre-recorded trainings they have, which are also very useful). We found the ATLAS.ti programs to be very user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to train and implement across very diverse teams, including our student assistants or interns. The functionalities of the program allowed us to productively and efficiently analyze mountains of qualitative interview data using shared coding categories and then, additionally, perform comparative analysis across country groups.

#### Cons

The filtered reports in XCL-type format were less useful than narrative or Word-like reports might have been.

#### Vendor response

Dear Michael, thank you very much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you and your team have found ATLAS.ti to be an excellent tool for your collaborative research. We also appreciate your positive evaluation of the support provided by our team. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, and that is why being there for our users 24 hours a day to answer any questions and offer free training sessions (as well as detailed manuals and video tutorials) is so important to us.

My overall experience with Atlas.ti is quite positive, including the support staff's quick responses and availability. I recommend it to colleagues and students and look forward to using it with enhanced AI features in the future.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5

- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Atlas.ti does exactly as the title says - it is a very straightforward workbench, providing a handful of tools to enhance qualitative analysis, enabling a systematic and methodologically robust way to work.

#### Cons

Data visualisation should also be exportable (which still needs to be 100% available, at least in the MacOS version). Although I appreciate the AI features are still in the beta phase, the limits of their functionalities should be more explicit so that the users would have realistic expectations and optimise their time and use of the tools.

#### Vendor response

Dear Tamiris, thank you for sharing your feedback! We're happy to hear that ATLAS.ti has proved to be a straightforward and comprehensive workbench. We also appreciate your feedback about exporting visual displays in ATLAS.ti Mac and providing more information about the AI tools.

### Excellent Graphics in ATLAS.ti

I have been using ATLAS.ti for the past 6 years and I really enjoyed it than any other qualitative analysis software I have ever used.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

ATLAS.ti is a software with excellent graphic view which makes it possible to view major major issues in a set of data at a glance. Features such as Sankey diagram, networks, code tree, code forest etc. makes it possible to get a whole lot of information about a data set without necessarily read through the data. It also provides information on frequency of each item which gives reader an idea of prevalence or importance (number of times such issue was referred to in the data) certain items listed in those diagram in the data set. The software also allows one to change colour of codes which resulted in a beautiful and presentable diagram. These diagrams are easy to generate and manipulate to the form in which you want it presented. Using these diagrams had added professionalism to my qualitative reports and clients found it informative, illustrative and attractive.

#### Cons

Talking about graphics in ATLAS.ti, what I don't really like, therefore, don't use is the bar chart because it tends to be too scattered by presenting document or document groups individually and it doesn't label the bars with the codes they represent neither is there colour kay to provide more clarification to the reader.

#### Vendor response

Hi Victor, thank you so much for your feedback. We are very glad to hear that ATLAS.ti's diagrams have added professionalism to your reports that clients have found informative, illustrative, and attractive! Indeed, we strive to make it easy to gather rich insights from qualitative data, and being able to display data in different ways is an essential part of this.

#### Cons

### A must-have for qualitative analysis in teams

ATLAS.ti has become essential for our research. Working as a team quickly becomes very complicated without a software to help manage and integrate everyone’s work, and ATLAS.ti ticks all the boxes. Our team was able to simultaneously analyze their parts of the project, and examining our intercoder agreement was super easy! Not only did it help us complete good quality research but it also helped us when sending our research to be published because we could report rigorous assessments of our agreement with Krippendorff’s alpha.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Without a doubt, ATLAS.ti has been essential for our research because of its support for teamwork: merging multiple projects, tracking what each person did, and calculating intercoder agreement. Before ATLAS.ti, we had to follow complicated processes of passing data to each researcher, one at a time, and it was painstaking to figure out how much our codings were similar or not. I was overjoyed when I learned about ATLAS.ti’s intercoder agreement tool, and the free webinar on teamwork and user support has been very helpful in answering any questions I had.

#### Cons

We will definitely continue using ATLAS.ti in our future research projects, my only desire is that we could pay on a monthly, rather than yearly, basis. We have projects on and off, so it’d be nice to have the option to not pay for the software during the months we have no active projects.

#### Vendor response

Hi Milan, thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that ATLAS.ti has made your teamwork easier, both for analysing your data and getting published. We strive to offer a powerful software that makes research easier for everyone, everywhere, because being able to collaborate with others is a crucial part of research. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the subscription renewal. Even though this would imply greater strains on our core user management system, we will definitely consider how we could implement an option to have monthly ATLAS.ti Desktop+Web licenses. In the meanwhile, it's already possible to get a monthly license for ATLAS.ti Web-only, so you might also find this a comfortable solution for shorter term projects.

#### Pros

Good functionality, not too hard to use, although more advanced functionality is harder to find out and learn to use. Analysis of data could be more extensive.

#### Cons

After doing an update of Atlas.ti 8 to the newest version (19 I think it was), I experienced some problems in the document view. About 80% of the quotations that I had made and the codes that were connected to these just disappeared directly after installation of the update. I reported the problem through the Problem Report option within Atlas, I called telephone support, I emailed the technical support team and, upon their request, I send them a Project Bundle to look into. Over the last two weeks, I have been calling 5 or 6 times to telephone support and sent multiple emails. The only response I got from telephone support (very friendly, although not able to help) was that they would pass on my request/complaints, as they couldn't do any more. I got two emails back from the technical support team in the first few days: one asking to report the problem within Atlas (which I already did and then did a second time) and to send a project bundle, the second email made apologies for waiting, confirmed receiving my project bundle and problem report and promised to get back within "a few days". That was 10 days ago. I have been waiting for two weeks now, even as it seems that this is not a very hard problem to solve (the quotations and codes are still there, no data seems to be lost), as it is just a problem in the document view. Moreover, the problem occurred directly after updating to a new version of Atlas, so literally nothing was changed in my own setting. Terrible support!!

#### Vendor response

Hello Stijn, thank you for sharing your feedback. Indeed as you mentioned, we were always available to receive your telephone calls and provide ongoing updates concerning the progress on your case. This was a very rare error that none of our other users experienced, and I'm really sorry to hear that you ran into this. In the end, our technicians did resolve the issue for you. Currently we have version 23 released which has the latest technological developments incorporated, and we have not had any errors like this since version 9 (several years ago now). We have also further expanded our support team, and we provide user support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, through live chat, telephone, and email, because we place great importance in always being there for our users, answering any questions and providing any technical assistance as needed. No other qualitative data analysis software provides this level of user support, and we therefore feel your rating of our customer support is unfair.

I reached out to them three times and on the third time, they told me that the developers could not resolve my issue. I was disappointed that I had to contact them to get an update instead of the other way around. I would have been fine with knowing if I had somehow caused the problem and knew how to avoid it in the future, but it just felt unresolved.

You even replied that you understood, and our support team further explained exactly when and why the "save changes" dialog pops up and how it looks so that you know to watch out for it in the future. We understand your frustration at having made this mistake, but we feel it's unfair that you blame our software and support.
