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.

Good access for Education Institution

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.

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.

Reason 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. We also provide various free learning resources such as manuals, video tutorials, webinars, and sample projects on our website. The free version of ATLAS.ti is available to everyone around the world, and it's a great way to get started with your project. Once you obtain a license, you can continue working on the project you began in the free trial version. ATLAS.ti is the only qualitative data analysis software to offer all features in one package, so that one flat fee is paid and there are no hidden costs or surprises. All software upgrades are included for free during your subscription period, and the subscription can be cancelled whenever you wish from your ATLAS.ti account page. In case it helps, we offer student licenses that come with a significantly reduced cost. Moreover, if an ATLAS.ti Desktop+Web license is still too steep, students and other users can work with just ATLAS.ti Web, which has a very low monthly subscription that can be canceled as soon as they are finished utilizing ATLAS.ti. We also appreciate your positive feedback about ATLAS.ti Web and ATLAS.ti's AI tools that are available in ATLAS.ti Web, Windows, and Mac.

Atlas for the win!

I am blown away by the AI Coding tool in ATLAS.ti. Even though ChatGPT has emerged so powerfully just a few months ago, ATLAS.ti is demonstrating one of the many useful applications of OpenAI’s algorithms by bringing this into qualitative data analysis. I was so excited when I saw this feature was released, and the results are really impressive!

PROS

AI Coding inductively analyzes text, creating many new codes and showing co-occurrences between codes. I also really like that the AI Coding creates categories and sub-codes, because the categories give a very good bird’s-eye understanding of the data, and then the specific sub-codes help to understand each category in more detail.

CONS

AI Coding can sometimes take long to analyze everything. I was surprised because the other AI tools in the software are really fast (like concept analysis), but AI Coding took 15 minutes to code my interviews. I hope the speed will continue to improve over time.

Vendor Response

Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoy the AI Coding of ATLAS.ti to gain a bird's-eye understanding of your data and harness the power of OpenAI for impressive results. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, which is why our developers are continuously working to bring the latest technological developments to researchers' fingertips. We are also grateful for your feedback regarding the speed of AI Coding. Although coding interviews in just fifteen minutes is already significantly faster than manually analyzing interview transcripts, we are continuing to develop our AI-powered features to make them even more efficient. In addition, the speed of AI Coding depends on the workload of OpenAI's servers, something which is beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding, and we hope you continue to derive great value from AI Coding for your qualitative data analysis.

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

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.

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.

So intuitive for coding qualitative data!

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.

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. Indeed, in our 2022 user survey, 97% of users valued how easy it is to use ATLAS.ti. We also hear you loud and clear regarding the colors available for codes. 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.

Remarkable product for assistive tech

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.

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.

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.

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.

Efficient multi-user management system

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).

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!

ATLAS.ti for qualitative research

i’ve done my qualitative research using this software and it helped me a lot with the data analysis. it worth the money especially if you’re a student and get this software through a student discount.

PROS

this software enables the users to easily codes and analyze qualitative datas, such as interview transcripts and documents. the interface is user-friendly and it offers student discount at an affordable price compared to its competitors. the free trial version also doesn’t have time-limit, instead, it limits the document and codes but you can keep the free trial as long as you like.

CONS

the cloud version is not as responsive as the pc/mac version, it also would be better if the pc/mac version has an option to save the project to cloud.

Reasons for switching to ATLAS.ti

ATLAS.ti is more affordable

Vendor Response

A Powerful Tool for Creative Data Analysis

It is really effective. Powerful. Productive. Proficient. I am really grateful that such an efficient tool was created. If not for this tool, I don't know what I would do! My applied linguistics and corpus-based research became great and influential thanks to a great variety of qualitative and quantitative analytical data tools which I can use right now!

PROS

This thing is an amazing, powerful, intellectual tool for efficient, effective and consistent work on your research data. If you want to work proactively and make a smart analysis of some data, dig out the key ideas, valuable intentions, precious details, Atlas.ti will save your time and efforts. With this tool you can methodically draw out, order and reorder and code some significant pieces of precious data in order to define the key patterns, tendencies, dependencies and co-dependencies and verify your hypotheses. It has lots of useful functions which will help you export your results and present them to people who are interested in your ideas. For working on your qualitative analysis in this program you can use various types of data: video and mp3 files, texts, pdfs, pictures, Google Earth data, almost any type of data which you can extract, code and verify. The only disadvantage of this program is that for analyzing some large amounts of data you will need to buy some kind of premium access.

CONS

I am not sure if this tool can effectively work on Linux, such as Ubuntu and Debian, which is a great limitation for this amazing software.

Vendor Response

Hi Olga, thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be powerful and efficient. Indeed, our mission is to provide a powerful and easy to use software to meet all qualitative analysis needs. The software does not impose any size restrictions on any project or document, and all software features are always included with a license, so there are no headaches with having to pay extra to unlock other features. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the Linux operating system and will certainly pass this along to our developers. If you ever have any other questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to us at general@support.atlasti.com. We wish you all the best in your work with ATLAS.ti!

Amazing automatic coding tools that drastically speed up analysis

My experience with ATLAS.ti has been great. Before, the manual coding process was a real bottleneck for us, but now we’ve been able to analyze our data very quickly and easily with the automatic coding tools.

PROS

The software can automatically code data for opinions, sentiments, concepts, named entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), and text (along with automatically suggested synonyms). These automatic coding tools even work in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Dutch, Russian, and Chinese which is very important for our research. We mostly analyze data gathered through surveys, comments from our social media posts, and video call interviews. It’s really easy to import these data, and the software even automatically codes the data to instantly organize and gather key information within each dataset. Altogether, these tools have allowed us to save so much time in analyzing our data from our different regions, I cannot even begin to calculate how much time has been saved since we don’t have to manually read and check every single response or translate our data. We import our data and collect relevant insights in just a matter of minutes!

CONS

Overall there isn’t really anything I don’t like about the software. If I could suggest an additional feature, I wish I could also have ATLAS.ti automatically transcribe audio data. This is not such a big problem because most of our audio/video data is collected through Zoom so we already get automatic transcripts that can be imported into ATLAS.ti (with the speakers automatically coded), but it would be neat to be able to do everything right inside the ATLAS.ti project.

Vendor Response

Hi Lucas, thank you very much for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that ATLAS.ti's automatic coding tools have helped you analyze your data quickly and easily. Indeed, our mission is to facilitate analysis of qualitative data everywhere, which is why supporting analysis of various kinds of data in different languages is important to us. We also appreciate your feedback regarding automatic transcription in ATLAS.ti. Our developers are always keen to learn how ATLAS.ti can continue to meet researchers' needs, and although it is possible to manually transcribe data in ATLAS.ti, we will certainly see what we could do about incorporating automatic transcription tools. Please feel free to write to general@support.atlasti.com if you ever have any questions or comments. We wish you all the best in your research!

Smooth landing into qualitative analysis

I'm new in qualitative data analysis and in the use of data analysis software. I'm not part of a team, but never felt alone. I have in hand not only the information on line (user manual, youtube videos, etc.), but especially the direct and quick personal attention to solve my doubts.

PROS

Documents, dialogues, texts and words in general are a wide world: direct meanings along with subtleties, metaphores, ironies... I higly value how Atlas.ti facilitates to reach conclusion: the easines of coding, grouping, extracting co-occurences and word frequencies, elaborating my own queries, networks, etc.; and the visual sources it offers.

CONS

I can think of a 2 particular details: not yet clear for me (from linguistics) what the coefficient mean in the co-occurrence tables; and still a bit messy for me to build some queries and networks.

Vendor Response

Dear M. Roser, thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that ATLAS.ti and our team have been of great help to you. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, and a big part of that is always being there for our users. You can always contact us for free via live chat, telephone, and email, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. The c-coefficient indicates the strength of the relation between two codes. An inherent issue with the c-index and similar measures is that it is distorted by code frequencies that differ too much, so if a cell shows the yellow marker, it should invite you to look into the co-occurrences of this cell despite a low coefficient. In case you ever have any questions about co-occurrences, queries, networks, or anything else, please count on our support. A member of our team will always be happy to guide you through any part of using the software. We are here to help you succeed in your research!
