ATLAS.ti

Pros: I don't know, maybe the analysing after coding? The visualization, what makes it good for research. Maybe the automatic labels you can create and don't have to manually write (in the old days?). Nothing more.

Cons: It is the least customizable program in history. - the constant saving when you apply a code, why can't I change that? For every code I apply, I have to wait for 10 -15 seconds for the project to save. Every time! It's sabotaging my process. - The hotkeys, you cannot change hotkeys. Why? And who was the genius to program this in a way that when you transcribe, the spacebar is the pause button? When I transcribe, this very slow hiccup program, sometimes get's out of edit mode. So when you type, and push spacebar, the video recording starts to play, pauses, starts to play again, pauses. Sometimes, due to other hotkeys, the sound is muted, or you start at the beginning of the video. - Applying codes, takes a long time to process. - Constant hiccups. Slow, counter productive for research, and as a student, it really frustrates all these hiccups. At the end of the day, maybe 1 or 2 hours are basically lost due to this programs hiccups, constant saving and what not.

Pros: Powerful tool for analysis, which is user-friendly

Cons: I experienced frustrating problems with set up - though these do not to seem to have been Atlas' fault. The user manual wasn't entirely clear,

Pros: Customer service is amazing- they reply very fast and give very useful -and patient- guidance

Cons: I found some tools a bit more complex and less intuitive than before- such as exporting the number of quotes per group of documents and codes

Pros: Unas de las cualidades más bellas de Atlas ti es que permite analizar nuestra información cualitativa generando respaldo y sirviendo como una base única, de datos flexible y dinámica, esto facilita mucho la generación de categorías de análisis, la selección de citas textuales y el análisis de notas de campo. Pero además hemos quedado fascinados con Atlas ti cuando vimos los tutoriales sobre la codificación por IA. Esta nos ayudara rápidamente a tener una vista panorámica de los datos, facilitando la selección de ruta para el análisis final. Esperamos que esto se traduzca en una reducción del tiempo de trabajo de, y será de mucha utilidad en el desarrollo de nuestras investigaciones, especialmente en las entrevistas y etnografías al facilitar el ordenar las notas de campo.

Cons: Tiene muchas funciones, y me tomara algo de tiempo conocerlas bien para obtener el mejor rendimiento, no podría hacer un juicio al respecto ya que debo familiarizarme más con el software, pero hasta el momento lo encuentro fantástico.

Pros: $8c

Cons: ATLAS.ti is an excellent qualitative analysis platform.

Pros: It makes it to analyse the qualitative data, and i can always go back and change code, or merge or split, its quite helpful.

Cons: Mine crashed, and i am not sure if there ia some information on how to go about that in the manual because I was just frustrated, because i could still open projects but the documents content was not showing in the main window, and i could not creat new project.

Pros: Compré la versión v.24 y me sorprendió las posibilidades que ofrece codificar y categorizar con ayuda de la AI. Esto es un campo en desarrollo y aún hay pocos papers sobre ello, pero la propuesta de Atlas.ti está cambiando la forma de ver el análisis cualitativo, espero que para bien. Facilita mucho el proceso y siempre que tengas una estructura de categorías y códigos, la lectura de documentos se abreviará.

Cons: Los tokes para usar la AI no son ilimitados aun cuando tengas un plan. Sin embargo, escribí al soporte técnico y no tardaron demasiado en agregar más tokens a mi cuenta de manera gratuita, lo cual tengo entendido no lo hacen otras empresas. Como recomendación, se puede usar el lenguaje AI para transcribir audios y videos en la propia interfaz del Atlas.ti, algo que eché de menos al momento de analizar datos cualitativos.

Pros: The user interface is intuitive; running queries is easy.

Cons: I've been resisting the subscription format, but it's the common business model these days so I understand. I've been using v.8 for nearly a decade and I'm hoping they've done away with the bundling/unbundling function for v.24!

Pros: Atlas.ti's ease of use is increbile. It took me literally half an hour to switch from another major CAQDAS to Atlas.ti. The user interface, cross-platform, the exceptional customer service, just everything is far better. There are differences in the methodological approach that have to be considered when switching to Atlas.ti. For example, the node hierarchy works differently. And so too does the classification of cases (persons, organizations) have its particularities in Atlas.ti. But none of the necessary adaptations represent a major issue in switching. Beyond that, Atlast.ti does a much better job in every other aspect of qualitative data analysis.

Cons: Case classifications Node hierarchy (impossibility to use parent nodes for coding)

Pros: Virtual advice 24 hours a day that provides the tool to resolve doubts or concerns in the use of the software, in several languages

Cons: The web version has many analysis tools in beta mode, which makes it difficult to work synchronously in a collaborative group. Therefore, it is necessary to work on the computer version to get the most out of the AI tools that have recently been incorporated.

Pros: - Relatively easy to use and lots of features - Easy to contact the Atlas.ti team for help - Different pricing options

Cons: There was an issue where I lost quite a bit of work, and it appeared to be an issue with the app rather than something that I did. The support team could not help me and I felt like the communication wasn't great. I reached out to them three times and on the third time, they told me that the developers could not resolve my issue. I was disappointed that I had to contact them to get an update instead of the other way around. I would have been fine with knowing if I had somehow caused the problem and knew how to avoid it in the future, but it just felt unresolved.

Pros: The fact that I can group my codes and documents. Then view my findings with excellent and beautiful visualization tools does the magic for me.

Cons: Statical analysis functionality of Atlas.ti is something I am yet to get a grasp of. I think it would be very helpful if a webinar is organised to sensitize users about this functionality.

Pros: Atlas.ti makes it super easy for multiple researchers across different universities to code and analyze data as a team.

Cons: Sometimes an update comes with a glitch or two, but support is always quick with a solution.

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.

Pros: The thing I like most about Atlas.ti is its AI coding capability. This feature greatly facilitates initial research analysis. Additionally, I highly appreciate the ease of coding and numbering quotations, as it simplifies the process of creating and tracing both direct and indirect quotes.

Cons: "What I dislike is that Atlas.ti frequently prompts for application updates. When I'm out of town with poor internet signal, this can be very inconvenient. Secondly, the use of AI coding features is limited by a certain number of tokens. So, I need to be careful and schedule the use of AI coding features to avoid getting my account suspended.

Pros: I recently contacted the support team of Atlas.ti, as I had a problem when upgrading the program. My concerns were listened carefully, and my problem got solved in a friendly and professional manner. I was extremely satisfied after the experience! Many thanks to [sensitive content hidden] (from the support team) for all her patience, help, and assistance.

Cons: My projects were not transferred automatically to the new version of Atlas.ti when upgrading the program, which was quite scary. However, after contacting the support team, I got all my projects and work back quite easily.

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.

Pros: Estoy muy satisfecho con las prestaciones del software.

Cons: A veces, las distintas posibilidades de acceder a información de multiples maneras hace que te despistes.

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.

Pros: Customer service patience in thoroughly addressing my concerns and their precision in providing solutions were truly commendable.

Cons: It seems counterintuitive to have to pay for training on a tool for which you are already subscribed.

Pros: Ease and simplicity of use for data analytics

Cons: Does not handle large amounts of data well, was difficult to analyze multiple documents together

Pros: Atlas.ti made the compilation of codes from transcripts relatively easy with data discovery being easily accessible.

Cons: Atlas.ti may be difficult to use at first without the proper training which can be frustrating where certain aspects with data analysis being more difficult than it needs to be.

Pros: El precio es bueno y la facilidad de hacer pruebas en él, considero que es buena herramienta para estudiantes en ciencias sociales y mucha gente lo conoce así que puede ser una opción para colaborar con otros investigadores.

Cons: Algunas funcionalidades son limitadas o al menos encuentro que otros como MAXQDA puede ser más potentes.
