It's compatibility with SPSS. It eliminated the need for me to save files into Excel. I also liked the option to have my values on SPSS be imported and displayed actual labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a graduate assistant, NVivo was very user friendly. I was assisting with multiple work-site sodium reduction programs in which I utilized NVIVO to transcribe and analyzed qualitative data to identify themes and attributes to include in data reports. It was easy to navigate the interface and provided adequate settings for additional information related to troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truthfully, there wasn't anything that I disliked about using this software. The software is user-friendly and doesn't require much troubleshooting. If there are issues, the software provides sufficient information to be able to navigate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very user friendly and aside from being a great tool for qualitative analysis, it is also a great tool for LEARNING qualitative analysis. It's interface is very conducive to learning how to code textual data. In addition to aiding in the learning process, once learned, it was easy to use. It's a tool that helps quantitative data tell a more well-rounded story. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not come across anything that I strongly disliked during my time using NVivo. I do recall having a bit of an issue with uploading another person's qualitative data/coding into my program for cross-analysis, but not a glaring enough problem to stand out to me now looking back.

I like how easy it is to go back into my research and see what I have coded as what, as well as the ability to make anecdotes that I can look back on when analyzing my findings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me a while to learn how to use NVivo, but once I got the hang of it, I liked it. The manual teaching you how to use it is quite long, but that’s okay because it has many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to get started and to figure out the basics for a project. I appreciate how easy it is to develop nodes and to keep the data organized. I haven't used all of the features (e.g., importing images, videos), but it's a great way for me to analyze my interview data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to share projects with colleagues in different physical locations. Transferring files isn't easy. For example, I was working on a project with a colleague and we weren't able to figure out how to share NVivo files electronically. We contacted the help staff at NVivo and their advice wasn't helpful. We tried sharing the files through several cloud services, but we could not upload them successfully. I think if NVivo could figure out a way for collaborators (who work in different physical locations, on different networks) to share files this would make the project much better.

Good tool for organizing qualitative research. I used it for organizing notes from interviews and focus groups and was able to use it to inform survey questions and publishing results in a more quantifiable way. double checking of data is also possible, which is very handy if you are publishing your results.

I can't say I had any problems with it. But I am not an advanced user so improvements are possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use NVivo mostly to organizing my qualitative data, such that when I need to get back to it I can reach quickly the part that I am looking for. The coding tools are great for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The license is expensive and depending on what you use NVivo for, there may be cheaper alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that the program takes the old-fashioned practice of sticky notes and highlighters for textual analysis and provides a modern version of this in a technologically-appropriate way (i.e. flagging and color coding thematic observations). I further appreciate the ability to import textual data rather than having to manually input it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The word count feature is unreliable for discerning themes within textual data--however, it may be improved if expanded to include phrase restriction in the search criteria options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NVivo is very user friendly - without formal training in the software I was able to utilize NVivo's features to accurately enter, code, and evaluate my qualitative data. It was easy to import data, code it using multiple users, and analyze the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A downside I found while using NVivo was that your methods of coding do have to be very similar - if one person codes a paragraph, but others just sentence, it can definitely have an impact on your percent agreement - best to sort out methods ahead of time.

I really love how user friendly NVivo is. It's easy to switch between Macs and Windows platforms. I love that I can import my codebooks and can easily code things quickly. The data visualization tools are also very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that can be frustrating with NVivo is sometimes when I am switching back and forth between .a Mac and a Windows that the files take much longer to load on a Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
