dr. Susanne Friese said: "Very intuitive, some nice improvements since version 8. For instance, the way you code your data is implemented in the most intuitive way as compared to other QDAS packages. The Quotation Reader is also a nice new addition, allowing you do not only read the coded data but also to modify the coding, adding new codes or remove existing ones
Version 9 has a complete new auto coding function, allowing you to easily create AND and OR searches. It also offers a range of synonyms to chose from. If you want more, you can use the expert search with regular expressions. A very nice add-on is that you can test your regex before actually starting the search. In addition, you have two new auto code features Entity Recognition (NER) and sentiment analysis.
Another nice new addition are the Sankey diagrams in the Code Co-occurrence and Code-Document Table.
The network function - as previously - always has been superior to comparable features like maps and diagrams in comparable programs.

dr. Susanne Friese said: "The software offers more than being a coding tool - and even just coding is difficult to achieve by just using Excel or Word. So the benefits are many. It allows you to analyse data in a way otherwise not possible. You gain more and better insights. For a researcher it is useful already during the stage of the literature review. For students it can be used also for small research projects as part of their studies, later for their bachelor or Master thesis. Companies who may need a quicker turn around from data collection to results, benefit from the auto coding tools and the slick analysis tools that produce quick and nice looking results." |

Whether you are using an inductive or deductive approach, or both, you will find the right tools that support you. If you are interested in mixed-methods analysis, you will also find a range of tools to support your analysis." |
