Teach yourself qualitative data analysis in days with ATLAs.ti

I am a positivist and often used quantitative analysis. But when i started my PhD studies, i venture into behavioral sciences and realized that i had to put meaning to figures,,....and gues what...when i discovered ATLAS.ti and explored its use through youtube training, within days i gradually became an expert in using it. I most importantly liked the area od qualitative positivism that blends well with advanced data analytics that bring out the best meanings attached to various sentiments from subjective respondents. We love you guys and keep the fire burning!!

Horrible experience

Have you ever had the horrible experience of buying a product that doesn't work and customer service just says sorry, there's nothing I can do for you? If you want to experience it, just buy a product from Atlas.ti. They work with the Cleverbridge organization. I bought the wrong product but immediately called them and canceled the subscription. After that I bought the right product but they did not activate it. It was surprising that the old purchase was still active and the second one was inactive. I contacted Atlas.ti for help. They told me that Cleverbridge should do that. I contacted Cleverbridge to solve the issue, they told me that Atlas.ti should do this because they make and sell their own products. So, they are responsible and Cleverbridge customer service told me that they are only responsible for the payment and nothing else. After calling them twice, he told me sorry I can't help you then hung up the phone....so rude customer service I have never seen in my life! Atlas.ti customer service told me sorry, we can't do anything for you. So, I thought I did pay for nothing and I have a subscription of almost 10 euros per month too! I felt like they passed the ball between them and no one wanted to take responsibility for the problem. Fortunately, after refreshing the website (after 100 times!) it works! However, I still do not recommend this software because if you have a problem you can hardly count on customer service! I feel very sorry for their managers!

PROS

This is a useful software for analyzing your data.

CONS

Sometimes it crashes and loses data! After reporting, the problem has not been fixed...

Vendor Response

Hello Farnaz, thank you for sharing your feedback. After getting a license, it just needs to be activated in your ATLAS.ti account page and then you can use it. I can see you contacted us through our live chat support on Friday, October 21st, because you purchased an ATLAS.ti Web-only license but you were trying to activate it in ATLAS.ti Desktop. You then received a refund for your Web-only license, and you purchased a Desktop+Web license on this same day, October 21st, and our student licenses team confirmed your student license was delivered to you on the same day, Friday October 21st. On Monday, October 24th, you wrote us saying you needed help activating your license, and our team wrote back to you 90 minutes later confirming you had successfully activated your ATLAS.ti Desktop+Web license. You wrote us back 45 minutes later saying you were having a problem activating your license, our team checked the license system, manually activated your license for you, then wrote you confirming everything was working correctly less than 5 hours after your last message. The problem occurred because you were still trying to activate your first ATLAS.ti Web-only license which you subsequently cancelled, but if you had tried activating your new ATLAS.ti Desktop+Web license, then it would have been activated immediately. Moreover, if you had emptied your cache, you would have seen all changes right away, as you mentioned you had to refresh the page many times, but this is simply a characteristic of specific web browswer clients and is not related to our Web version software. Moreover, the software has been running fine and we have not received any crash reports. As you can see, your statements are not true, and we did not create any problem. It was you who first bought the wrong software then entered it in the wrong place and then wrote harsh accusations about us although we were very well performing and did everything to correct your mistakes. Your rating is therefore unfair. I hope you have found ATLAS.ti helpful for your analysis since then, and we do appreciate your feedback because we place great importance on supporting all of our users around the world. That is why we offer live chat, telephone, and email support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. In the past year, we have received 91% positive ratings for our user support. If you ever have any other questions or comments, please count on our support, and you can always contact us at general@support.atlasti.com so that we can promptly assist you.

Easy to use, beautiful software

PROS

As a qualitative researcher, coding is made incredibly easy by Atlas.ti. Sharing projects and working together is also quite straightforward. And comparing codes and doing some qualitative cross-tabs is so intuitive.

CONS

The web version doesn't offer an easy to see code tree - which is sorely missed

Reason for choosing ATLAS.ti

It was more intuitive, better price point for what it offered

Vendor Response

Dear Arundhati, thank you very much for your feedback! We've very glad to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be beautiful and easy to use for your individual and collaborative work. Indeed, in our 2022 user survey, we found that 97% of users valued how easy it is to use ATLAS.ti. We also appreciate your feedback regarding ATLAS.ti Web. As each ATLAS.ti platform was natively designed for optimal functionality within that specific operating system, the online ATLAS.ti Web has some differences in the interface relative to ATLAS.ti Windows and Mac. That is why ATLAS.ti Web offers the coding window that automatically appears whenever any segment of text is selected. You can type to search for existing codes, create new codes, search codes by their groups, and even use codes suggested by ATLAS.ti's integrated AI. If you ever have any specific questions about how to do something in your project, you can always count on our support. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email: https://atlasti.com/support We wish you all the best in your research!

A Convert!

Great! I could not work out one of the functions, contacted their support team via chat and within 10mins we had it resolved it. Very professional and really polite, and wasn't put off by my basic question!

PROS

It is much simpler to use than the other software that I have been using. I have managed to pick up most features very quickly and simply.

CONS

nothing really, just a bit of an adjustment in the way things work to what I have previously used

Reasons for switching to ATLAS.ti

NVIVO was cluncky and hard to use. I used the 5 day free trail and found Atlas.ti much simpler and straight forward.
