August 9, 2023 5.0 ATLAS.ti is a game-changer in handling large-scale qualitative data. The integration of AI coding tools catapults the experience into the future, making data analysis not only easier but also more exciting. The support center, too, has been exceptional. Any question I had was met with swift and effective assistance through integrated chat. My experience with ATLAS.ti has been nothing short of thrilling! Pros ATLAS.ti takes coding and analysis to a new frontier with its AI coding capabilities. The way it automatically processes my data not only fascinates me but also enhances my workflow. The seamless integration of AI with traditional coding techniques allows me to compare and even blend human intuition with machine intelligence. With features like word clouds and opinion mining, it's exhilarating to see AI technology being applied so innovatively in qualitative coding! Cons The software already exceeds expectations! Thanks for providing us with these tools and allowing us to focus solely on what really matters - reflexivity! Switched from [MAXQDA](https://www.capterra.com/p/174104/MAXQDA/) MAXQDA has some limitations that have affected my personal experience with the software. First and foremost, the lack of 24-hour live chat support can be a significant inconvenience when immediate assistance is required. Moreover, the interface is not as intuitive as I would prefer, leading to a steeper learning curve and hindering efficiency. But what has been particularly problematic for me is the limited capacity to exchange between platforms, such as Mac, Web, and Windows. As someone who uses a Mac at the office and Windows at home, this cross-platform inconsistency has resulted in a frustrating experience with MAXQDA. The software doesn't seem to have the robust tools and flexibility that would alleviate these issues, making it a less-than-ideal choice for my specific needs. Review Source Response from Lumivero October 4, 2023 Dear Eugenija, thank you so much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that ATLAS.ti's AI-driven tools have enhanced your workflow and allowed you to focus on engaging in reflexive thinking. Our mission is to make qualitative researcher for everyone, everywhere, and that is why our developers are continuously working to bringing the latest that AI has to offer to everyone's fingertips -- including AI Summaries, AI Coding, and automatically coding for sentiments, concepts, opinions, entities, and more. We also appreciate your positive feedback about our swift and effective user support. Indeed, we have a dedicated team who is available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email, to help anyone with using ATLAS.ti and completing their qualitative research.

Since all our licenses include full access to all the ATLAS.ti platforms, it's important researchers can always work on their projects wherever they prefer. If you ever have any questions or comments, we are here for you. We wish you all the best in your research! VR Verified Reviewer Teacher Researcher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy " November 4, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of use (with no training), the smoothness of the interface and the extremely responsive and knowledgeable support team (responded within seconds at 8pm). Cons Finding highly specific functions was a little fiddly, (I had two transcripts connected to a single audio track and was unable to delete one until I had disconnected them - a highly specific senario which was easily solved with the very responsive technical support team!) Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Nvivo is dated and clunky with highly complex (and probably powerful) functions, although I've never used them because they are so complicated to learn and use. Nvivo is provided free by my university, but I would prefer to pay for Atlas ti as it is far more user friendly with a very shallow learning curve. The pricing structure also made it reasonable for me as a student to use for a single research project over one semester. Review Source Response from Lumivero November 27, 2023 Thank you very much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be easy to use and that our 24-hour support team was able to quickly help you. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, and we highly value being there to help all our users with any questions that may come up during the course of their research projects. We also appreciate your feedback about the intuitiveness of ATLAS.ti's interface, especially in comparison with other qualitative data analysis software. In our 2022 user survey, we found that 97% of our users value how easy it is to use ATLAS.ti. We also have a dedicated AI Lab that is always working to bring the latest developments in AI to your fingertips, such as Conversational AI, AI Coding, AI Summaries, AI code suggestions, and more.

Researcher Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mixed bag, needs a LOT of improvement" March 10, 2026 3.0 A mixed bag with great disappointments. The coding feels great and I'm happy about related features, but the cloud, file management, backup, and user interface are horrible. So much potential missed out on essential things that are so standard for modern programmes. Pros I love that the codes are coloured automatically and show up as such when you go through the document, with the specific code being next to the segment that you have coded it with. I am also a fan of the concept map functionality and how you can just drag codes into it and connect them with each other, and that this creates an actual connection within the code structure, not just in the concept map itself. Cons Almost everything apart from the coding and concept map feature. I will start with the big issues: file management, the cloud feature, the user interface. File management: The way that you have to organise files is downright horrible and creates unnecessary additional work. There are no folders, so you have to put things together under Groups. If you import a document, it cannot be dragged into the group, but will just be imported without being assigned to anything. When you then want to look for that document, you have to go back to the documents, find it among all of the other ones you have, and then you can drag it into the group that it should be in. It would be so much easier if we just had folders for the documents or if you could drag a document you want to import into the group. Cloud feature: An absolute disaster. Though it is supposed to be a beta version, there is just no transparency on it. No idea where my files are, how to access this cloud (I believe you can't actually access it), and how much space you have left to upload. In addition, saving your project on a cloud service outside Atlas.ti is recommended against, which means that you have to live in constant uncertainty of whether your project stays up-to-date. Cannot really work on different computers, because you have to make sure it's uploaded and since it doesn't do that automatically, if you forget to save and manually upload again, you're screwed. There is no functionality to pull a project from the cloud, so all you can do is upload. User interface: There is just so little transparency about where to go for what you need. For example, if you go into your project, you have a settings button for application preferences, project preferences and Atlas.ti. But, this is not the right options button for when you want to know where this particular project is located. In order to find this, you have to close out of it and look for the settings in the overall project overview. Again, the decision to not put files into folders makes it much more difficult to find the documents you want. I don't really understand the decision to have an explore menu on the left. Much better to just have one consistent way to find your codes, files, etc. Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Because the coding works better for me from a visual aspect. However, Nvivo is better in every other aspect. Review Source SG Shannon G. Qualitative Research Consultant Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's All about Customer Service" June 28, 2024 5.0 I have experience using several of the top-selling QDA platforms. One of the reasons I am loyal to ATLAS.ti is because its customer service is unsurpassed. It's easy to submit questions about licensing and functions, responses are prompt, and the human beings who send the responses are knowledgeable, reasonable, and kind. They make my life easier! 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! Alternatives considered [MAXQDA](https://www.capterra.com/p/174104/MAXQDA/) Reason for choosing ATLAS.ti I kept ATLAS.ti over the years, but sometimes my clients use another product software like NVivo or MAXQDA. MAXQDA intrigued me. When I was ready to finally move past version 8, I made inquiries to both ATLAS.ti and MAXQDA. In the end, it came down to customer service. I submitted the same question to both companies. You responded in a way that I knew you thoughtfully considered my circumstances. Making the jump from v.8 to v.24 has me nervous, but I know I won't have any problems if I need help. Review Source Response from Lumivero July 2, 2024 Dear Shannon, thank you so much for your feedback! We are honored that you've counted on ATLAS.ti for so many years and even more that you've found our customer service to be unsurpassed. We've always been dedicated to offering the best possible qualitative research software, but over the years we've also realized how important it is to help researchers through every part of using the software. This is why we offer free expert support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email. We strive to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere! Indeed ATLAS.ti has become much more streamlined and powerful since version 8, and now you can easily move projects across Windows, Mac, and Web. We ultimately had to transition to a subscription format to adapt to changing operating systems, security policies, and users' collaboration needs. Technology is always quickly changing, but our developers work hard to ensure everyone has the best tools at their fingertips! AB Amy B. Test Development Manager Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Customer Support and easy to use product, but clunky for teams" July 10, 2023 5.0 There is a learning curve to working with teams, but overall, this product is much better than some of the piecemeal products and strategies I've used for qualitative data analysis I've used in the past. I would've loved using this when I was working on my dissertation for example. I look forward to trying this tool for writing journal articles and book chapters in the future - a functionality I haven't utilized just yet but seems promising. Pros I love how easy it is to get going. Import files, put in groups, use the coding features to get tagging. I had usable codes to analyze quickly. Cons Working with a team has been so difficult. The user manual is not as clear as I'd like on how to share the work with a team of users. The customer support helped me figure it out, which was great! They were online and quickly and knowledgeably helped me. BUT, the functionality for teams is CLUNKY! Not easy to work together at all in my opinion. Alternatives considered [Mendeley](https://www.capterra.com/p/233913/Mendeley/)[NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Reason for choosing ATLAS.ti I had tried NVivo as a student and it was nearly impossible to work with. Mendeley didn't have quite the breadth of functionality as Atlas Ti, and while Wordsmith was intriguing, I looked at Atlas Ti first and found it had what I needed, so didn't do as much digging into Wordsmith. Review Source Response from Lumivero July 12, 2023 Hello Amy, thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that it was easy for you to get going with ATLAS.ti. Indeed, in our 2022 user survey, 97% of users valued how easy it is to use ATLAS.ti.

Lecturer Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Teach yourself qualitative data analysis in days with ATLAs.ti" January 31, 2023 5.0 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!! Pros 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!! Cons The use of binary operations needs some time for mastering Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) I wanted something challenging, and new to the market....which when used, everyone says waaahhhooo....this is the way to go!! Review Source Response from Lumivero March 6, 2023 Hi Charles, thank you for sharing your experience with us!

Researcher Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Atlas.ti forever" May 15, 2024 5.0 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) Reason for choosing ATLAS.ti I knew Atlas.ti existed, but did not notice its faster software development process. The "new" user interface is great! Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Horrible experience with software bugs, cross platform issues, licensing process, etc. Review Source Response from Lumivero May 16, 2024 Dear Patricio, thank you so much for your feedback! We're really happy to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be incredibly easy to use and that it's fulfilled your needs in all aspects of qualitative data analysis. Our mission is to help make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, which is why we have a dedicated team of experts here to help, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email. You're right that category codes (or parents codes as they're called in NVivo) cannot be directly applied to quotations, but whenever you drag-and-drop a category onto a quotation, it automatically gives you the option to select which sub-code of that category you want to attach. Later, you can easily explore quotations at the sub-code or code category level. And as you very well pointed out, you can indicate classification of cases (i.e., documents in ATLAS.ti) by creating document groups. Please count on our support, we wish you all the best in your research! AS Arundhati S. Research Lead Think Tanks Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, beautiful software" October 10, 2023 5.0 Pros As a qualitative researcher, coding is made incredibly easy by Atlas.ti. Sharing projects and working together is also quite straightforward. And comparing codes and doing some qualitative cross-tabs is so intuitive. Cons The web version doesn't offer an easy to see code tree - which is sorely missed Alternatives considered [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Reason for choosing ATLAS.ti It was more intuitive, better price point for what it offered Review Source Response from Lumivero October 16, 2023 Dear Arundhati, thank you very much for your feedback! We've very glad to hear that you've found ATLAS.ti to be beautiful and easy to use for your individual and collaborative work. Indeed, in our 2022 user survey, we found that 97% of users valued how easy it is to use ATLAS.ti. We also appreciate your feedback regarding ATLAS.ti Web. As each ATLAS.ti platform was natively designed for optimal functionality within that specific operating system, the online ATLAS.ti Web has some differences in the interface relative to ATLAS.ti Windows and Mac. That is why ATLAS.ti Web offers the coding window that automatically appears whenever any segment of text is selected. You can type to search for existing codes, create new codes, search codes by their groups, and even use codes suggested by ATLAS.ti's integrated AI.

DB David B. assistant professor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pros and cons of using Atlas.ti." March 13, 2024 5.0 I am very satisfied with Atlas.ti as it provides a lot of convenience in qualitative data analysis. Moreover, I got the user access for free from the university where I study. This truly helps in completing my coursework 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. Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) NVivo is way too complicated and more expensive Review Source Response from Lumivero May 2, 2024 Dear David, thank you very much for sharing your feedback! We're glad that ATLAS.ti's AI coding tools have facilitated your analysis. Our AI Lab is continuously working to bring the latest developments to qualitative researchers everywhere. We also strongly value providing an all-inclusive package for researchers, which is why a single ATLAS.ti license includes access to all features in ATLAS.ti Windows, Mac, and Web, as well as not charging anything extra for additional AI tokens. If you ever need more AI tokens, please just contact us and we'll be happy to help right away. We're here for you 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, via live chat, telephone, and email. Regarding the free updates and internet connection, we understand it's not always possible to have internet connection which is why you can always use ATLAS.ti Desktop offline and then install the free updates whenever it is convenient for you. Thank you for choosing ATLAS.ti, we wish you all the best in your research! AB Andrea B. Instructor and Researcher Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Choice for Qual Reaserach" October 12, 2025 5.0 I'm satisfied! It's much better than the cumbersome Nvivo. Coding is really easy, and it offers lots of other features that I haven't used yet, but which don't clutter up the interface for simpler tasks. So I think it's a pretty solid and simpler tool, even though it offers many options for exploring data. Pros Atlas.TI is a robust application for qualitative research. I like how light and user-friendly the interface is. It's easy to learn how to use! Researchers can collaborate online (although there is still room for improvement in this area). Cons The transition from computer to cloud is not easy. There is a 500 MB limit for importing projects from the desktop version to the cloud version. However, you will only find this out after you try to do so. It is not particularly emphasized when you start working with the desktop version. Switched from [NVivo](https://www.capterra.com/p/171501/NVivo/) Nvivo crashed my computer. Too cumbersome.

Even though ChatGPT has emerged so powerfully just a few months ago, ATLAS.ti is demonstrating one of the many useful applications of OpenAI’s algorithms by bringing this into qualitative data analysis. I was so excited when I saw this feature was released, and the results are really impressive! Pros AI Coding inductively analyzes text, creating many new codes and showing co-occurrences between codes. I also really like that the AI Coding creates categories and sub-codes, because the categories give a very good bird’s-eye understanding of the data, and then the specific sub-codes help to understand each category in more detail. Cons AI Coding can sometimes take long to analyze everything. I was surprised because the other AI tools in the software are really fast (like concept analysis), but AI Coding took 15 minutes to code my interviews. I hope the speed will continue to improve over time. Review Source Response from Lumivero July 18, 2023 Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoy the AI Coding of ATLAS.ti to gain a bird's-eye understanding of your data and harness the power of OpenAI for impressive results. Our mission is to make qualitative research easier for everyone, everywhere, which is why our developers are continuously working to bring the latest technological developments to researchers' fingertips. We are also grateful for your feedback regarding the speed of AI Coding. Although coding interviews in just fifteen minutes is already significantly faster than manually analyzing interview transcripts, we are continuing to develop our AI-powered features to make them even more efficient. In addition, the speed of AI Coding depends on the workload of OpenAI's servers, something which is beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding, and we hope you continue to derive great value from AI Coding for your qualitative data analysis.

KB Kyle B. Qualitative Researcher & Social Scientist Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional Trainer Review" June 15, 2022 4.0 I have enjoyed using ATLAS.ti in my own research and training. Regarding my own research, I feel I have gotten many more publications because of the ability to keep my data organized over years. The flexibility of the software allows me to ask different questions of the data and use different combinations of tools so I can develop various outputs and creative ways of reporting data. Regarding training, I have successfully introduced many users to the software-- meaning, at first they were hesitant, but once they realize how to build their knowledge, by starting with simple tasks and experimenting with combinations of those simple tasks to generate more elaborate analyses, they are excited to keep exploring and learning! Pros When I introduce users to the software they always appreciate the intuitive language used. There is no special terminology that needs to be learned or additional skillset acquired-- it's just learning where tools are located and how they can work together. Another strong asset of the software is the flexibility-- users can choose how they prefer to interact (i.e., through drop-down, right click, drag and drop). This is simple, but so important because it is daunting to learn a new technology. When users can rely on skills or patterns they already know, the task \[of learning something new\] is less intimidating. Cons The gap between Mac and Windows is significant and creates the most issues for users. When training a hybrid course, switching back and forth is tedious and it's always a little awkward when I have to say, "sorry Mac users, this isn't as easy or isn't available..." Review Source Response from Lumivero January 16, 2023 Hi Kyle, thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad that you have found ATLAS.ti to be easy to use and teach, and that it's helped you with your own publications!

Lecturer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great qualitative data analysis tool for novice and professional!" February 7, 2023 5.0 The software has a user-friendly interface and intuitive design, making the process much faster and easier for me. Atlas.ti has been extremely beneficial for my mixed method approach. Its table matrix tool made it simple for me to integrate the results from my qualitative phase, which in turn allowed me to develop my questionnaire items in a clear and organized manner. This ultimately resulted in a more efficient and effective data analysis process.I also appreciate the attractive design of the software, which made my experience more enjoyable. I have recommended it to my students as a solid choice for qualitative data analysis too. The support provided by Atlas.to trainers and consultants is also a good added value. Pros What I liked most about Atlas.ti was its user-friendly interface and intuitive design, which made my data analysis process much more efficient and enjoyable. The software's table matrix tool was also one of the features that I really like, as it allowed me to integrate my qualitative findings and develop my questionnaire items in a clear and organized manner. Cons One potential drawback of Atlas.ti is its new pricing system, which some users may find expensive. There is no no lifetime license but 3 years lease , although it is to make sure the software is update and continuous support.

Social Development Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Automated data analysis in research" November 17, 2023 5.0 As an ATLAS.ti user who uses the tool often in his professional work, and also in the academic field, I consider it to be one of the most valuable tools for data analysis. I have a high level of satisfaction with this software, with the support of the ATLAS.ti academy and its customer service department. Pros By way of context, I can mention that I am an experienced user of ATLAS.ti, with more than 10 years using the tool, and teaching and advising researchers from very different disciplines on how to perform data analysis with the support of software. This experience allows me to affirm that version 23 of ATLAS.ti represents one of the most important and innovative advances in software for qualitative data analysis. Before version 23, ATLAS.ti was the leading tool in data analysis due to its intuitive interface, the integration of different data formats in the same project, and the data visualization possibilities. Version 23 made an important leap in at least three aspects. First, the incorporation of automatic coding tools and preparation of data summaries using artificial intelligence. I consider that this is a substantial change in this version, and that it represents valuable support for the analyst. Second, interoperability between the different versions of ATLAS.ti (MAC, Windows, IOS, Android and Web) has improved significantly. The versions are now more similar, and the ease of sharing projects between different platforms has improved substantially. Third, we are at a time of prolific development of artificial intelligence tools and ATLAS.ti has put two into production this year, and it is highly likely that in the coming months we will see new developments, which will facilitate and enhance data analysis. Finally, I must mention that one of the things I like most about ATLAS.ti is the positive impression it generates on students and researchers who have never used data analysis software, and when they see a demonstration or listen to a class, they get excited due to the characteristics and robustness of ATLAS.ti, which motivates them to learn and use it in their own research. This is an impression that has been constant in my ten years as a research teacher. Cons I think one of the aspects of improvement in ATLAS.ti is networking. Usually, when a code is networked with its citations, the citations cannot be seen completely. Adding this functionality as optional could allow you to explore the data in greater detail using networks. However, creating the networks and exporting them in graphic format is very simple. Review Source Response from Lumivero November 28, 2023 Dear Marvin, thank you very much for your feedback! We are thrilled to learn about your 10+ years of experience with the software. Our developers are continuously working to incorporate powerful features with intuitive design, including the latest developments in AI, such as Conversational AI, AI Coding, AI Summaries, AI code suggestions, and more.

Graphic Design Director Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing automatic coding tools that drastically speed up analysis" January 25, 2023 5.0 My experience with ATLAS.ti has been great. Before, the manual coding process was a real bottleneck for us, but now we’ve been able to analyze our data very quickly and easily with the automatic coding tools. Pros The software can automatically code data for opinions, sentiments, concepts, named entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), and text (along with automatically suggested synonyms). These automatic coding tools even work in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Dutch, Russian, and Chinese which is very important for our research. We mostly analyze data gathered through surveys, comments from our social media posts, and video call interviews. It’s really easy to import these data, and the software even automatically codes the data to instantly organize and gather key information within each dataset. Altogether, these tools have allowed us to save so much time in analyzing our data from our different regions, I cannot even begin to calculate how much time has been saved since we don’t have to manually read and check every single response or translate our data. We import our data and collect relevant insights in just a matter of minutes! Cons Overall there isn’t really anything I don’t like about the software. If I could suggest an additional feature, I wish I could also have ATLAS.ti automatically transcribe audio data. This is not such a big problem because most of our audio/video data is collected through Zoom so we already get automatic transcripts that can be imported into ATLAS.ti (with the speakers automatically coded), but it would be neat to be able to do everything right inside the ATLAS.ti project. Review Source Response from Lumivero January 31, 2023 Hi Lucas, thank you very much for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that ATLAS.ti's automatic coding tools have helped you analyze your data quickly and easily. Indeed, our mission is to facilitate analysis of qualitative data everywhere, which is why supporting analysis of various kinds of data in different languages is important to us.
