"Excellent tool for managing qualitative data analysis"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

I have been using ATLAS.ti since 2019 and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an intuitive CAQDAS. I've trained to use other competitive tools but ATLAS.ti stands out for several reasons: it costs less for a student license; the control is totally in the researcher's hand; the tool interface is intuitive; the developers regularly update the software to respond to glitches and the visualisation keeps getting better with the 23 version. I have used it to analyse literature (even if it is merely to read; ATLAS.ti's advantage of annotating and retrieving codes is helpful), news article clips (over 300 for my PhD), interview transcripts and Facebook comments (over 3000). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

The almost yearly upgrade of the software into a newer version appears to be chasing the market rather than demand. It doesn't feel alright that previous license owners are required to buy newer versions rather than simply upgrading their licenses. I had this issue when v9 was upgraded to 22. I was happy when I could upgrade my newly purchased v22 to v23 without extra cost but I believe this was the case because the time difference was shorter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Coding made impactful and easy with ATLAS.ti"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

I was introduced to ATLAS. ti a few years ago, and the first thing that struck me was its ease of use and impactful facilitation of the coding process that is at the heart of any good qualitative study. A well-coded data is a gold mine that throws some ground-breaking and powerful interpretation and construction of meaning and perspectives to the research phenomena. Coding is an iterative process, often they get written, rewritten and refined as more and more transcripts get read for coding. As you start coding in ATLAS.ti, the codes get saved, the list of already existing codes show up every time you code a new piece of data segment. This saves a lot of time as you would have otherwise spent going back and forth previous transcripts, looking up the codes you had already given while coding manually.

ATLAS. ti also allows merging or splitting of codes at any point while coding the documents and automatically updates the previously coded documents with the updated codes. This ease of coding allows any number of iterations and reflective re-coding of data possible resulting in an unbiased, thoroughly thought set of codes that would lead to a meaningful interpretation of qualitative data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

There aren't many downsides to the sofware. While the networks, code co-occurence tables and code- document tables help quantify the number of times a code o-occurs with other codes, the Sankey diagram is a fancy diagrammatic representation only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ATLAS.ti: at the forefront of qualitative research"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

ATLAS.ti has always been at the forefront of software for qualitative and mixed research, but version 22 has exceeded all expectations and previous editions. The processes of creating a project, adding data sources and coding them is very simple, and functionalities for automatic searching and coding have been added and improved. The new functions to incorporate data from social networks is also very useful, considering that many researchers work with this type of source. Finally, the icing on the cake is the multiple ways to visualize the data, a feature appreciated when you want to identify and discover patterns in the data that are not identifiable at first glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

There is nothing really that I dislike about ATLAS.I use it for professional and academic purposes and have no complaints about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very valuable tool for systematic literature reviews"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

ATLAS.ti is a powerful tool for systematizing qualitative information of all kinds, but it especially helps with a very complex task nowadays, which is the literature review to construct the State of the Art of the topics to be researched.

This process is professionalized with ATLAS.ti, it becomes rigorous and reliable, because finally, it can account for a graphic, visual structure that allows for the development of a consistent discourse.

ATLAS.ti has options to create reports by citations and codes, which facilitate the construction of the state of the art report and provides visual elements such as networks and Sankey diagrams that are very illustrative. My articles now published in Scopus have allowed me to be part of the National Registry of Researchers of Peru. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

The constant updates surprise me and I congratulate the developers who are always thinking proactively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for researchers"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

I discovered ATLAS.ti during my master's degree and have been using it ever since. The tool allows for the organization of qualitative data and the application of research methodologies (in my case, I use content analysis) for the production of research, articles, theses, and dissertations. I also had experience in producing an analysis of an internal satisfaction form for a parent company and its affiliates using the tool. The program is practical, fast, and works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

Considering my type of use, which is academic, it is necessary to study research methodologies to make good use of the application. Another important point, the web version of the application, allows collaboration among various researchers, is very interesting, has improved a lot, but still needs to improve a bit in the interface, which compared to the desktop version, is not as intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from ATLAS.ti of ATLAS.ti

Hello Rafael, thank you very much for your feedback! We are happy that ATLAS.ti has helped you in your academic research and in your work with companies.

It is true that academic researchers need to understand their methodology to conduct rigorous research, and we hope that our instructors can help provide some guidance to get started.

We also appreciate your feedback on ATLAS.ti Web. This platform was natively designed to work fully online, so the interface has some differences from ATLAS.ti Desktop. We always aim for a powerful yet intuitive design, and our developers are continuously expanding the software. If you have any specific suggestions you would like to see implemented in any of our platforms, please let us know by writing to general@support.atlasti.com. We are always happy to hear from our users!

"ATLAS.ti, an excellent tool for the qualitative researcher."
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

The versatility of ATLAS.ti Software has made it my best support since 2009. Its graphical interface allows the work to be more intuitive for learning and teaching at different levels of depth and scientific rigor. The analyses that emerge from the "code-document" and "co-occurrences" tables are impressive, taking qualitative research to another level, for example; Mixed methods research designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

I consider that everything is based on the measure of my demands as a researcher and I have not found any problems. In fact, I have seen improvements in its development that significantly aid in the analyses. Now, based on my experience, I would like to be able to save the cross tabulations in the code-document table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from ATLAS.ti of ATLAS.ti

Hello Jhondert, thank you very much for your feedback! We are very pleased that ATLAS.ti has been your best support since 2009.

Indeed, our mission is to offer everything necessary to facilitate research, and we are always working on new tools and features to adapt to the needs of researchers around the world. Although co-occurrence and code-document tables can be exported to Excel, we also understand the usefulness of saving them directly in the software.

"Why choose ATLAS.ti?"
5/5
What do you like best about ATLAS.ti?

Since version 5.32, ATLAS.ti has continuously updated and provided the best tools for qualitative analysis, especially since the emergence of social networks. On the other hand, the support material and help are abundant and timely. The learning curve is not steep, allowing analysts to quickly use the program in their projects. As a trainer, I can say that opinions are heard and many user requests are incorporated into new versions.

The web, Mac, iOS, and Windows versions complement each other seamlessly, and for the user, transferring their project to another platform does not pose major difficulties. The interface is comfortable and easy to use. In this sense, teamwork is not complicated once initial agreements are reached.

Finally, support in multiple languages facilitates its incorporation in different fields and allows interdisciplinary work with other professionals from other countries. Without a doubt, it is one of the most well-established tools on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ATLAS.ti?

At this moment, it seems to me that the trial version and its time limit do not allow users and/or trainers to use them in exercises for learning the tool. I also believe that the incorporation of better visual tools can improve the presentation of the achieved qualitative data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from ATLAS.ti of ATLAS.ti

Hello Cristian, thank you very much for your feedback! Also, as you have known ATLAS.ti since version 5, we are glad to know that you are so happy with the functionalities of ATLAS.ti Windows, Mac, and Web, as well as the support from our international team.

We also appreciate your suggestion about the trial version. It is true that it has a time limit to allow users to start their projects in the software, and then they can continue in the same project once a license key has been activated. As a certified instructor, you can always count on a full license and all the latest features of the software. However, if the participants in your courses need more time to learn ATLAS.ti, please write to training@support.atlasti.com so that our team can look for possible solutions.

We definitely always want to offer various possibilities to visualize the analysis and export impressive graphics. ATLAS.ti already allows creating networks, clouds, tables, bar charts, Sankey diagrams, and more, and our developers continue to incorporate even more tools and options to export results. If you have any suggestions on how you would like to visualize your analysis, we would love to receive it at general@support.atlasti.com.

We wish you much encouragement in your classes and research!
