qualitative analysis software has been gaining popularity for university research. It is cloud based, with collaboration as a core platform feature. With a monthly per-user pricing, Dedoose can be relatively less expensive for research teams than nVivo and Atlas.TI collaboration products, especially for short-term projects. The security features are strong, and have been approved for certain Homewood projects. (Use for medical PHI's has not yet been evaluated by the IT Risk office). It may be missing some features in Atlas.TI and nVivo, but has many of the core QDAS features including audio and video and mixed methods with visualization.

A feature-rich QDAS, perhaps stronger for content analysis methods. Visually appealing, although can look a bit cluttered. Student pricing is reasonable.

Taguette is a free open-source tool for QDA of text data. You can use the software on your own device, on your own server or on the server provider by Taguette that allows for real-time collaboration. (Note that their server may not be rated for restricted human participant data).

Also a free open-source QDA built with Python. It facilitates text and video analysis for single users. It has fewer features than commercial products, but may be adequate for smaller projects.
