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!
I use Dedoose for its broad capabilities with mixed methods data. You can easily analyze qualitative data across quant categories or demographics, and Dedoose also sorts and organizes mixed methods survey data so efficiently. It makes integrated analyses so much easier!
I really appreciate the easy functionality of Dedoose. As with any tool, there is always a learning curve, however, with Dedoose it is far easier to learn to use the basic tools than other data analysis software I have used. Importing data, analyzing, coding, etc. are rather easy and dynamic. Dedoose’s ability to integrate mixed methods makes it really powerful.
I first used Dedoose as a Research Assistant in a doctoral program, with my assigned task being to “figure out how it worked” for a federal grant. I was amazed with how simple the app was to learn. Afterwards, a faculty member asked, “Have you ever considered working for this company?”. I’m glad they did, because now I get to work towards the mission of bringing accessible software to researchers everywhere. I couldn’t be more proud of what we do, and how we do it.
I love the way I can collaborate in real time with other researchers in a Dedoose project. We can be anywhere in the world and still connect online to work on our research.
Dedoose has been a game-changer for my research! It speeds up data analysis and writing, making my entire process smoother. I love that I can attach memos while coding - keeping all my thoughts in one place. The code charts are fantastic for spotting relationships and trends I might have missed. Collaborating with my team on the same project couldn't be easier.
We used Dedoose to survey 150 volunteers who participated in a youth soccer league. 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!
I love Dedoose! It is easy to code and easy to use in a group. Also, because it not an app that sits only on your laptop, its knowledge is not interrupted by the way data sits on your laptop, which is a non-trivial advantage.
Dedoose is the magic sauce of mixed methods research. Whether analyzing research videos, interviews, focus groups, or extended responses on surveys, Dedoose is amazing. It's intuitive to use and flexible. Once uploaded and coded, one can come back to the data again and again, with emergent questions and gain new insights.
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!
I began using Dedoose during graduate school and it opened up new analytical possibilities in both individual and team-based projects. As I continued learning more about Dedoose, what began as genuine appreciation for the product evolved into admiration for the company's mission – so much so that joining the team felt like a natural extension of my research experience, allowing me to help create the same value for others that I experienced firsthand.
I think the best feature about Dedoose is its mixed methods capability through linking memos with descriptors. I also think that code co-occurrence is fantastic. It creates new ways of representing your coding, which is almost always generative of new ideas for your project. It is also a way to produce network data from qualitative work.
Dedoose’s simple yet customizable platform allowed me to organize and categorize a substantial qualitative research project. From one data collection phase, Dedoose helped me produce a dissertation, book, and several peer-reviewed journal articles.
As a recent doctoral graduate and emerging researcher, finding the right tool for qualitative data analysis has been crucial. Dedoose has become an invaluable asset in my work, revolutionizing how I manage and interpret the conversations with my collaborators.
Dedoose is intuitive and there are multiple ways to do most things. When I’m deep in analysis I don’t have to stop and think about how the program works. It helps me visualize data and not just categorize it.

View frequently asked questions about collaboration and what makes Dedoose stand out from the competition.
Yes! Dedoose was built for team collaboration. Simply invite people via email to your project and you are able to analyze the same exact data in real time. All plans come with real-time collaboration included at no extra cost.
After surveying our users who have used other software in the past, there are four primary reasons they choose Dedoose:
Dedoose allows you to integrate both qualitative and quantitative data in your study. This is especially helpful if you have a survey with quantitative data that you'd like to run analysis on (ANOVA, Chi-Square, correlations, etc.) and also be able to analyze any qualitative data connected to those variables.
