"NVivo application used to conduct my doctoral qualitative research"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

NVivo was helpful to analyze my research data collection and transcription of the interview audio recording to text. I liked the 15 minutes of free credits for transcription. The application is user-friendly and an excellent tool for a beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the NVivo application was user-friendly and no dislike. However, I think the pricing is a bit high considering when large data is collected for analysis and transcription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideal Tool for Qualitative Research"

5/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

It helps me become a more efficient social science researcher by storing different types of qualitative data in one place, and making it easy to create multiple subgroups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

Steep learning curve. Takes a lot of time to learn to use the software efficiently before you can even start inputting your data. Not an optimal choice if you are pressed for deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NVivo:

NVivo makes you an efficient researcher if you aren't pressed for deadlines and are willing to put into the time to learn it. And the reward is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OK software for anthropologists - could use improvements in UX/UI aspects"

2/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

I like the fact that it can process a lot of information, and affinity mapping can be painful if you just do it yourself, but the software can be of great help. NVivo allows you to process a large amount of data and start to identify patterns in a big mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

Onboarding is rather poor - you get thrown into it, with little guidance, and the UI is also not very appealing. Compared to other research-related software and platforms, it looks really old and hard to use. It's unfortunate for software that costs hundreds of dollars - they really need to put more money into UX research and UX design! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NVivo:

Well think before purchasing this - there are a lot of alternatives to do affinity mapping (like a lot of researchers you can also use PostIts and whiteboards). I'd also seek out help from experts - the onboarding is, as I said, very poor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NVivo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly for initial coding processes in my anthropology research (ethnographic field notes and interview data). NVivo allows you to process a large amount of data and start to identify patterns in a big mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nvivo Software : user and teacher"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

The software has transitioned to include multi-fold levels of data for coding. Its been a pleasure to use the software, I have been using it since 2011 and have also taken a few lectures with students on how to use the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

I would really appreciate regular information on the changes and up gradation being introduced to the software. Also would appreciate a reduction in cost of single license for an individual like myself, who is not a student, but a researcher and like to keep myself updated with the new features in the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NVivo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used the software for a project which was looking at community insurance uptake for a composite insurance package. I was interviewing different stakeholders for each aspect of the composite insurance package that was to be developed. And the software made the process of data segregation convenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive qualitative research tool"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

Primarily like it for the ease of use and intuitive interface - paired with good tutorials (both written and in video format) and forum threads to find functions that we need to use. Found the Nvivo software one to be the most easy to pick up and use when compared to other alternatives on the market.

Beats having to manually keep track and administrate between primary/secondary sources and analyses, especially if multiple people are working on the same project.

I will need more time to evaluate long-term positive/negative sides, but so far, so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

Price could be lower, transcription price/quality not very good. Otherwise very comparable to other competitive products on the market. Found that it is not very easy to transition between Mac and Windows users, since they can not use the same versions, had to reload separately from Mac. Not sure if it is still an issue or already solved.

Sometimes it is still easier to use generic software for the analysis, especially in smaller projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NVivo:

Give the trial of Nvivo and the competitors a go and pick the one most fitting your style and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NVivo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Structuring qualitative interviews, previously without a dedicated software - much easier to keep track of the patterns and categories of issues. Ability to in parallel run other secondary research with the same tagging system comes in handy when organizing the different data points that will make up the content for a report that we are creating.

Another positive was that the available functions and tutorials helped us in providing new ideas for data analysis and how to present the findings for the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic"

5/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

I find NVivo very useful in qualitative research. It saves me a lot of time when I am doing thematic analysis and it makes it easy to find related quotes from participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

I would like there to be more NVivo licenses available for universities and researchers. Universities and research institutions should understand that NVivo is as invaluable as many statistical programmes. I do not know if the lack of availability is associated with the price of NVivo or other issues. I would like there to be a free trial and a reduced price for universities in developing countries with limited resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NVivo:

It makes qualitative research easier and it saves times, however, I wish there was a free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NVivo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Qualitative research. NVivo saves a lot of time and is a good teaching tool for students learning how to do qualitative research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Steep learning curve but excellent software"

4/5

What do you like best about NVivo?

Easy tagging primary and secondary codes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NVivo?

Difficult to learn(training course good) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NVivo:

Undertake the certified training courses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NVivo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't use many of the extended features but for simple thematic analysis I find it excellent. I conduct qualitative research using this software and liked that I could complete all aspects of my analysis with NVivo. I do however, use different software for transcription and instead transfer the files over. Perhaps the transcription process could be improved up on. I like the tools and options - but the user face isn't particularly friendly when transcribing. Again, functionality is more important than how it looks, and NVivo does do everything that I ask of it but if you wanted a central one-stop-shop for qualitative analysis, perhaps a better interface for transcription would be of benefit.
