No incentive was offered It was exactly what I needed for the budget and timeline I had. I am grateful for the thoughtfulness that you all have clearly put into teaching and user-friendliness. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The videos that accompany the program guide you through its use step by step. That was amazing! The price was amazing as well. Struggling students don't have 100s of dollars to dedicate to programs. This one was so affordable. #### Cons It was pretty bland. I wish I could have color-coded some things to help with data fatigue. The price makes up for this, but it was the one thing I wish were different. --- ### Great for qualitative graduate research - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Emily D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Music - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used Delve during my graduate studies in vocal pedagogy. I was able to import transcripts from my interviews as well as relevant articles. This helped me to connect points across the literature and my own research to be able to write coherent research projects. I also appreciated that they offer a student discount. I will definitely continue to use Delve in future research. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My favorite part about Delve was the ability to pull the codes around and create an outline for my research projects. My brain works pretty visually, and so seeing the outline come together in real time based on the data was extremely helpful. I also like that I could add notes to each code to help clarify what should be included. #### Cons I wish that I could nest more than three layers in the codes. I often had more clarifying points that I wanted to add, and I had to come up with creative ways to be able to represent more detailed points. #### Reasons for switching to Delve NVivio was difficult to use and had an unintuitive user interface for qualitative data. --- ### Good experience so far - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Luqian C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Very easy to use. No learning curve. Simplify the coding process so it is very friendly to beginners #### Cons The multiple projects could not talk to each other --- ### My experience of Delve as a novice researcher - simple, elegant, friendly and effective. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rob L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This was my first experience with a qualitative data analysis program and my experience was extremely positive. I received a very quick, helpful and friendly response to all my questions and requests for help. I would highly recommend Delve to other students and researchers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I liked that Delve was simple and elegant to use and not overly expensive. I enjoyed the elegance of the graphics and the simple and intuitive layout of the program. I was able to quickly understand the underlying structure and logic and was able to use it effectively after a short period of experimenting. #### Cons The one improvement I would suggest is the capacity to have more levels of coding. I used a particular qualitiative methodology that required the transcripts to be divided into smaller sections ( "meaning units") as a first step and then paraphrased or "transformed". I would have liked to be able to perform these steps within Delve but the program did not appear to allow the additional levels of coding this would have required. --- ### Just give it a try, you won't regret it! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kayla H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, I have loved using Delve! Great customer service, helpful resources, and the tool itself was intuitive and easy to learn. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Delve was very intuitive and easy to use. I liked how many resources the Delve team made freely available via their blog and YouTube channels. These resources were incredible helpful, and a very great way for a new qualitative researcher to learn. I also appreciate the low cost and ability to use Delve when I need it, and pause my subscription when I don't need it. #### Cons I truly can't think of anything about this product that I dislike. There are data visualization features I'd love to see in the future as they continue to develop, but I think this product fit my needs perfectly. #### Reasons for switching to Delve Delve seemed a bit more organized. I did like that I could transcribe interviews within Quirkos and they had a word cloud feature, but I felt more comfortable with the quality of product with Delve and also loved all of their other articles and YouTube videos so much that it was worth it to switch. --- ### Clean Design with Effective Analytical Support - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Yvette S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I appreciate that Delve is easy to use and visually pleasing to the eye, which is important when one is buried in data. The nesting feature allows for fluidity as the codes are rearranged several times throughout the analytic process, allowing me to dissect, manipulate, and rebuild data. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Delve is very user-friendly when coding. Additionally, the tutorial videos provide just the right amount of information to explain various research methods in a clear and concise way. Delve was my "go-to" tool as I completed my dissertation. #### Cons It might be nice to have additional options for outputs, such as analysis reports or graphs/tables, to be printed from the coding. #### Reasons for switching to Delve Delve is more user friendly. It was easier to code my transcripts and the view was cleaner. --- ### Delve was a life saver, helped so much in my study - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elvina L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mental Health Care - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used Delve for my qualitative exploratory study, which is the dissertation for a doctorate in Clinical Sexology. I interviewed 12 participants, and I was doing thematic analysis of the transcripts. Delve made it so easy to code the data and created data points within qualitative narrative. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Excellent features, it was so easy to use and so helpful. It was designed so well. It made it so much easier for me to organize and visualize my data. #### Cons I can't really think of anything I didn't like. I have no issue with the layout or functions. The price is completely reasonable, I have no complaints. --- ### A gift for the Rookie Researcher. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tim U. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered First time of using this level of qualitative coding software, and I was genuinely conerned about my ability to pull my research project off and where to start. The data analysis tools at the back end - once my intitial analysis was done was so wonderful and many of these tools have appeared in my final product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Amazing value for money - particularly for a student price. For a novice researcher the qualitative analysis tool with AI assistance was invaluable. #### Cons Minor detail - more colours would have assisted, however the customer support in terms of providing further detail and 'professional development makes it so worthwhile. --- ### User Friendly, Practical, and Effective - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brian M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I had never used a research software before I used Delve, and I really appreciated how user friendly, practical, and effective it was at helping me to organize my qualitative data so I could analyze and write my dissertation more efficiently. The instructional video I watched by the [sensitive content hidden] of Delve was super helpful and convinced me to use this program over other options. I was also very thankful that it worked just like the video said it would. And with me being a student, the student discount allowed it to be affordable for me to use. Overall, Delve was exactly what I needed to complete my research project, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a data analysis software that can help them to arrange the information they collected in their research so they can write more proficiently. #### Cons For the version I paid for, I really can't think of anything else that I needed it to do that it didn't do. --- ### Excellent coding software! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jessica W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for free trial - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I would definitely use this software again. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I feel the software was super easy to use! I was able to come up with meaningful codes and add them to my transcript seamlessly. #### Cons They have an AI tool to help with coming up with codes. I wish that some of the codes that AI has come up with could be imported into the transcript. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 205 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/qualitative-data-analysis/delve-profile/reviews/) ## Delve Popular Comparisons [ATLAS.ti vs Delve](https://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/atlas-ti-profile/vs/delve/)[Tableau vs Delve](https://www.softwareadvice.com/qualitative-data-analysis/delve-profile/vs/tableau/)[Dovetail vs Delve](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/240444-delve/vs/345899-Dovetail/)[XLSTAT vs Delve](https://www.softwareadvice.com/qualitative-data-analysis/delve-profile/vs/xlstat/)[Indeemo vs Delve](https://www.softwareadvice.com/qualitative-data-analysis/delve-profile/vs/indeemo/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/qualitative-data-analysis/delve-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
