Dedoose Reviews & Product Details

I really like the system it uses to help you set up tests for interrater reliability in big or small projects and involve little to huge amounts of data. You can set it up in a way that you get a randomized sample of your data and have everyone in your team try to use the same codes to code the same data and then the system itself compares how closely you are calibrated to your teammates.

I feel like, more often than not, you get some very slow system to work with. It is as if the software itself is slow and 'heavy'. I have lost some progress because of not having a save button and you can only rely on the system to auto save Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web based access is a good feature of dedoose Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had a lot of trouble with customer service. It took them over a month to generate an invoice. Then it was wrong. They do not answer the phone so you can not talk to a live person. It takes them days to respond to emails. Frankly, it has disrupted my research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that dedoose allows you to work together on a project simultaneously. For me, I work with dedoose only for coding purposes, coding for a research project. And dedoose is helpful that I can access dedoose easily through that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like how the home page of dedoose is actually quite hard to navigate when you first start using it. There are a lot of components, features, and things going on with the home page dashboard. And there are multiple tabs as well. This set up makes it a bit hard for someone who is new to using dedoose and needs to figure out how to navigate through the tabs and etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how multiple users can be working on the same project. This software makes it so easy to code and analyze qualitative data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the browser edition was very slow and it was difficult to get in contact with support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is free, user -friendly, and has added product feature of importing all sorts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two points:

1.Needs flash upgrade to login to the page.

2.Multiple file upload at a time(import) takes a lot of time. However, sequential import(one-by-one) is takes very less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using dedoose for a research project that involved coding focus group transcripts. My favorite thing about it is that it allows you to see what codes other have already suggested, and this is great because it makes the process a lot more efficient and allows us to build on each others work.

I am a fairly new user, and have not run into anything that I do not like yet. However, when I first started it took be a bit to figure out where everything is located, but now that I know the basics the app seems pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get a project setup and moving, Dedoose does what it does well. I've yet to find anything else that matches Dedoose on features and price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up a project is a massive time sink. The onerous process has catalyzed many many many moments of procrastination and frustration and searching for an alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the example given when you start to use an account for the first time. I like the ease of importing and exporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very hard to learn how to use, having an example project is not enough training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it appears like other qualitative research software, but that but is about it. It's similar in terms of how to code information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I always get user errors and sometimes that software does not work well in general. I find it more frustrating to use as compare to other qualitative software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

East to use for coding - great for sorting major themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quits whenever the program falls asleep and has to be restarted. Can also be confusing for doing analysis at the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
