Power of ATLAS.ti

The software allows you to analyze different types of documents such as PDF, .DOC, videos and audios. Furthermore, its use can be applied both in the business world and in the academic environment.

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.

A straightforward workbench

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.

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. In ATLAS.ti Mac it is already possible to export tables, Sankey diagrams, networks, clouds, and more (https://doc.atlasti.com/ManualMac/Reports/ReportTypes.html). If you ever have a question about how to export something, please count on our support. We are here for you, at no additional cost, via live chat, telephone, and email, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. We are also happy to provide any information about our AI tools (https://atlasti.com/atlas-ti-ai-lab-accelerating-innovation-for-data-analysis). The outputs from the AI tools always depend on the inputted data, so there will be natural variations. Please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to guide you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An Essential Tool for Qualitative Researchers

PROS

Atlas is a user-friendly software. It allows us, qualitative researchers, to have all our research material in one place – images, video, or transcripts. It is also a handy feature to rename the documents already uploaded to Atlas.It does not do the analysis itself and gives the researcher the tools to use their skills and creative mind. This software design is essential to ensure the authenticity and novelty of data analysis and research output. It is also a significant bonus to have the Atlas tutorials readily available on the web and their support team, which is very responsive and eager to help via live chat and email.

CONS

Two people cannot work synchronously. One person must work, save, and send the project to the other. The cloud and simultaneous collaboration features need further improvement to increase the collaboration capacity.

Vendor Response

Dear Umay, thank you very much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you find ATLAS.ti to be user friendly and that it's helped you analyze all your qualitative data, including images, videos, and transcripts.

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. We also appreciate your feedback about the bar charts. Our developers are continuously incorporating new features, and if you ever have any other suggestions or questions, please write to general@support.atlasti.com. You can always count on our support, and we hope ATLAS.ti serves you well in all your qualitative research projects!

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!

Graduate Research Made Easier with Atlas.ti

My overall experience with ATLAS.ti has been positive. While I encountered some challenges, I found it really easy to find support and was able to resolve them.

PROS

Team collaboration was crucial for my thesis, which our school's existing qualitative software couldn't provide. That's when I discovered Atlas.ti Web. My fellow graduate student and I found it easy to learn. Considering my limited budget and the one-month timeframe for collaboration, the monthly subscription with student discounts proved to be very beneficial. However, what truly impressed me was the responsiveness of Atlas.ti team. They not only communicated effectively but also quick in suggested improvements—faster than I had anticipated. I felt valued, knowing that my feedback was taken seriously.

CONS

After using Atlas.ti Web, I tried to import an Excel sheet with text in PDF format into Atlas.ti Windows. During my initial attempts with Atlas.ti Windows, selecting or highlighting texts for coding was difficult, especially when the text was contained within cells. The highlighting often extended into neighboring cells due to small text size. I reached out to customer service to address this issue and found a practical workaround.

Vendor Response

Dear Belinda, thank you very much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that ATLAS.ti Web, with its low monthly subscription, provided an ideal solution for you and your fellow graduate students. We strive to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, which is why we offer this flexible option with a very low price, especially for students.

ATLAS.ti is innovating in the handling of qualitative data. It gives the user total freedom and the possibility of connecting with other software, as it has many export options. In the field of research this is fundamental and ATLAS.ti is achieving it.

PROS

The program always helps the researcher to organize and focus on what is important. In addition, the program has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use.

CONS

The program is always in the process of improvement. ATLAS.ti listens to what users say and implements it quickly in updates. In my experience, the difficulties I have had are easily solved with the help of technical support. The most important thing is that the researcher must know what he/she is doing with the data, because the program is a tool.

User friendly and helpful support team

If you have lots of text and data to deal with, the software can help you to summarize and find the ideas and meanings from the massive data much more easily.

PROS

Very easy to code, group, and analyze all my interview transcripts and other texts. The function is intuitional so that you can familiarize yourself with the coding and analyzing steps easily. Once you have any problem with the software, the online message and service mail from the support team is really helpful and instant-reply.

CONS

New function-AI summary can do the summary only from the text and data, just to make the massive data short, but if you want to "read behind the data", we have the sensitivity of the issue and that's our job that AI still can not replace.

Vendor Response

Hi Peying, thank you very much for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be user friendly and our support team to be quick and helpful. We place great importance in always being there for our users. That is why we offer support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email.

Gaining instant summaries of any text document can help give insights about the contents of your data and potential emergent themes. You're right that only human researchers have unique sensitivity to their data and research question, but we hope our AI-powered tools, such as AI Coding and AI-suggested codes, can be powerful complements to your research. Our developers are continuously working to balance intuitive functionality with powerful features, to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere. We also have a dedicated AI Lab that is always working to bring the latest developments in AI to your fingertips. Please count on our support if you ever have any other questions or comments. We wish you all the best in your research!

Easy to use for any researchers

PROS

For researchers, this software is very important and can give benefits especially to develop a literature review. The software allows us to highlight points and develop codes and themes. For me, this software will help us to read articles (literature) easier. This way is a new way without printing all the articles to read. It is simple and precise. No need to worry about the difficulties in reading the articles. All researchers even quantitative or qualitative can utilize the software impactful. And of course, for all qualitative researchers, this is the best software for qualitative data analysis. It cannot be denied.

CONS

Need to learn how to use this software. If you do not attend any training on the usage of this software, it could slow down your learning.

Vendor Response

Hi Mohd Ikhwan, thank you for sharing your feedback! We are glad to hear that ATLAS.ti has been so helpful for your literature reviews (as well as your data analysis).

Interesting because this application allows to analyze qualitative data and categorize automatically

PROS

It is a tool that helps with the analysis of qualitative data: texts, images, graphics, audio and video, facilitating the understanding of the data in a visual way, since you can observe those complex relationships. In the same way, the possibility of relating categories and comments with the theoretical framework is very dynamic.

CONS

That does not have an option to perform the digitization of all data collected, therefore, the user must comply with that task.

Vendor Response

Hi Zuleida, thank you very much for your feedback! We're glad to hear you've been able to observe complex relationships in a visual way and dynamically engage with your theoretical framework. We always strive to provide the most powerful tools for all research needs, which is also why ATLAS.ti licenses include access to all features on all platforms (Windows, Mac, and Web) for one flat fee.

Indeed, to permit analysis and coding on the computer, data needs to be in a digital format. However, ATLAS.ti supports a wide range of data formats, including text, images, videos, survey data, geo-data, social media data, and much more. There is also no need to do any preparatory work before adding your data into the software, because ATLAS.ti can handle all these different data types and facilitate your organization and analysis. For example, you can add scanned papers or photos, and you can even directly import your work from Evernote or survey responses from any platform you may have used to collect your data. If you ever need any guidance, we are always here to help through our live chat, telephone, and email support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. We wish you all the best in your work with ATLAS.ti!

My favourite tool for analysing videos and transcripts

ATLAS.ti has been the best for me because of its transcription syncing. I work with many focus group videos and transcriptions, and being able to work with both the text of the transcript and the corresponding clips from the video recording is essential to fully grasping my data. I have been able to generate rich findings with the help of ATLAS.ti.

PROS

Instant synchronisation between videos and transcripts, easy managing of timestamps, being able to move through a video/transcript just by clicking on timestamps, coding of both transcript text and video segments, saving snapshots of video frames and coding them, automatic focus group coding

CONS

There is no automatic transcription so I use a different program to generate my transcripts and then I work with the transcripts and videos in ATLAS.ti

Vendor Response

Hi Elahe, thank you very much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that ATLAS.ti makes it easy for you to analyze videos and transcripts. We know how important it is to work with transcripts, which is why our developers are continuously working to offer the best features possible. We appreciate your suggestion regarding automatic transcription, and we will work to see how we can also implement this. In the meanwhile, you can indeed import automatically generated transcripts, and ATLAS.ti can even automatically code for each speaker in your transcript. In addition, many platforms today offer automatically generated transcripts (such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams), making it easier than ever to instantly have your transcripts ready for analysis, and ATLAS.ti can speed up the process by automatically coding the speakers, synchronizing the transcript with the video/audio, and more. I highly recommend you view our video tutorials and articles about analyzing transcripts with ATLAS.ti, and if you ever have any questions, please count on our support!

My favorite aspect of ATLAS.ti is its flexibility of use across a range of research designs.

ATLAS.ti is compatible on both Windows and Mac

I have really enjoyed using ATLAS.ti, at my university I use Windows but at home I use Mac, and I have not had any problem using these two platforms, the compatibility between these two platforms is 100% so I have had no conflicts migrating my project.

PROS

No matter if I work on two different computers or if my colleagues have different platforms, this is not a problem, I could always share my project.

CONS

At first I thought that my ATLAS.ti Desktop projects would be saved on ATLAS.ti Web but it wasn't, then I asked support if I could synchronize it automatically and they explained that my ATLAS.ti Desktop projects are saved on my computer. This more than anything, to protect the confidentiality of my data, something that seems very appropriate to me, I had very sensitive data, which at first I did not think about confidentiality, although they assured me that the projects that are stored in the cloud have a very advanced security, I always prefer to have my projects only with me.
