My prof made us use ChatGPT for small projects and AILYZE for large projects. ChatGPT’s good at suggesting key themes which you can use for coding. AILYZE is better for large projects. It was one of the tools recommended in our library’s assessment of AI research platforms ( https://guides.temple.edu/ai-research-tools/data ), and I’ve found it way more stable than NVivo. It does AI-generated themes, automatic coding, frequency/ cross segment analyses, etc. Might be worth checking out if NVivo is giving you headaches. More on reddit.com

Atlas.ti vs Dedoose vs Usercall: Which Qualitative Research Tool Fits Your Workflow?
2 weeks ago - A PhD student conducting grounded theory analysis across 80 interview transcripts might love the flexibility of Atlas.ti — linking codes, weaving memos, building concept maps. But it takes training. One researcher told me they needed 2 weeks just to set up a repeatable workflow with their advisor. A nonprofit evaluating the impact of youth programs across states used Dedoose to combine focus group quotes with numeric survey outcomes.

r/sociology on Reddit: Best Software for Qualitative Research - Interviews
January 11, 2024 -
Looking to analyze 100 interviews. I know I need a software to organize all this information. I am not with a University but this is a very dense project... Any folks have recommendations? I don't think my boss wants to pay more than $50 for two people a month. I need a software that allows for two users as I will be collaborating with another person to both analyze the codes as well.

r/research on Reddit: Qualitative Coding Softwares
March 19, 2025 -
Hey everyone! I’m a researcher working on a collaborative qualitative project with a team using both Mac and Windows, and we’re running into a ton of issues with NVivo 15. We’ve tried both the collaboration and normal cloud features, but we’re dealing with frequent crashes, codes shifting, and trouble seeing what other researchers have done.
This is a pretty large project—1-hour interviews with 15 to 30 participants—so having reliable software is crucial. Based on my research, NVivo seems to be the best option out there, but I’m curious—what do you all think? Are there better alternatives? What features would make a qualitative coding tool truly effective? Has anyone seen AI/LLM-powered platforms that help streamline the coding process? Would love to hear your thoughts!

What makes NVivo the best is that it forces you to work manually. Meaning you will have to read the text and assign and group ideas together. Imagine reading the text on paper and marking your ideas in a pen here and there, it will be difficult to gather and recall all ideas, NVivo become important in simplifying this step. I always stick to Nvivo for those reason alone. AI tools will give ideas but I would not recommend it before reading your test yourself. I suggest you start and continue with Nvivo till the end (it is time consuming yes, but you will thank yourself at the end). The tree of codes will be there in the application, even if reviewers raised issues, it will take you seconds to navigate all the codes again. Further, choosing quotes in the text is easier when using Nvivo because you will be able to see the whole network and choose the most appropriate text accordingly. There are times when I used AI in suggesting the possible themes, I find myself reading the interview and already fixed (somehow) on the themes suggested by AI. So readking and initial codes first will give the benefit of possessing great knowledge of the content. Then AI suggestions can add your current knowledge, usually about naming and renaming, but you will find your coding way much in detail than AI. In addition to chatgpt, There is an AI tool in voyant-tool(dot)com It shows outcome from text, it shows the cloud and repeated words etc. All the best.
