Academic research conducted by the Institute for Mixed Methods Research has shown that data analysis tool adoption is largely predicated on the level of support resources available at key points in the user-journey, as well as ease of adoption from a technical perspective (e.g., cloud-based design allows easy access and collaboration). The below methodology provides a systematic approach to evaluating and comparing qualitative and mixed methods tools based on their feature sets (including the combined assessment of the methodological sophistication of the features) and support expertise throughout the customer lifecycle.

I have used Dedoose to analyze a large public health dataset with a team. The ability to conduct team analysis in the cloud has been essential to our work. Dr. Sara Grummert and the team at Dedoose have provided invaluable guidance on conducting high-quality, rigorous data analysis with the training included in our membership. It has been a wonderful experience!"
We hired the Dedoose team to conduct research for the largest AYSO soccer region in the US. I didn't really appreciate the term "mixed methods research" until we got into question design, allowing for multiple methods of getting to participant concerns, behaviors, and actions. While our main goal was to get feedback on areas for improvement, the comprehensive survey and analysis gave us so much more. Thank you again Dedoose!"
We used Dedoose to survey 150 volunteers. The Board gained useful insight for key volunteer focus areas which drove fact- based discussion and actionable next steps. The final report was well structured, visual, and included summary "key findings"—all of which helped us share the results (and new plans) credibly through the organization. I hope we use Dedoose again soon to mark our progress after 2 years!"
Most platforms force you to choose between robust analytical tools or expert guidance. Dedoose is built different—delivering comprehensive qualitative and mixed methods features with the highest level of methodological expertise in the industry.
