Well, I can tell you that by comparison, Delve is exponentially superior. If you are looking for a platform to transcribe your MS Word document into coded Thematic Analysis data, look no further. Ideal for Master's level dissertations, research projects, and any other similar uses. I have experienced no security or ethical issues and received excellent 'real-time' customer service when I became 'stuck'. Without Delve, I worry that my final dissertation would not be submitted by its due date. Thank you to Kate in customer service. What an amazing value-for-money (almost priceless) product. Thank you. > > **Cons**: Nothing to report. My experience of Delve to date leaves me lost for words, way short of the character count\! > > Fabulous. 10 out of 10. No, let's be realistic here... 11 out of 10. Faultless. NVivo? It's a no-no\! ----- ### "Great for qualitative graduate research" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *25 August 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite part about Delve was the ability to pull the codes around and create an outline for my research projects. My brain works pretty visually, and so seeing the outline come together in real time based on the data was extremely helpful. I also like that I could add notes to each code to help clarify what should be included. > > **Cons**: I wish that I could nest more than three layers in the codes. I often had more clarifying points that I wanted to add, and I had to come up with creative ways to be able to represent more detailed points. > > I used Delve during my graduate studies in vocal pedagogy. I was able to import transcripts from my interviews as well as relevant articles. This helped me to connect points across the literature and my own research to be able to write coherent research projects. I also appreciated that they offer a student discount. I will definitely continue to use Delve in future research. ----- ### "Good experience so far" — 4.0/5 > **Luqian** | *30 January 2020* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. No learning curve. Simplify the coding process so it is very friendly to beginners > > **Cons**: The multiple projects could not talk to each other ----- ### "Delve is my new go-to research analysis partner" — 5.0/5 > **Andrea** | *21 October 2025* | Civic & Social Organisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Delve was incredibly easy to use. I've used NVivo in the past for qualitative data analysis and it's hard to set up, the UI is difficult to navigate and the platform unreliable, but Delve was none of those things. It was incredibly easy to import and manage my data and then go about the coding for my research project. The search functions and categorization tools were straightforward and effective for my data analysis needs. And last, the incorporation of AI was an added bonus. > > **Cons**: The only thing that created any friction was the price, but honestly, I think the tool offers the functionality to warrant the monthly fee. > > It was easy to use and a great partner in my qualitative research analysis. I was analyzing transcripts from 50 hour-long interviews and it had the power and capacity for me to code my data without weird delays or tech issues and the tools were exactly what I needed. I also appreciated their resource library. While I am not new to qualitative research, their guidance on how to use Delve for my purposes was clear and effective. ----- ### "Just give it a try, you won't regret it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kayla** | *10 May 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Delve was very intuitive and easy to use. I liked how many resources the Delve team made freely available via their blog and YouTube channels. These resources were incredible helpful, and a very great way for a new qualitative researcher to learn. I also appreciate the low cost and ability to use Delve when I need it, and pause my subscription when I don't need it. > > **Cons**: I truly can't think of anything about this product that I dislike. There are data visualization features I'd love to see in the future as they continue to develop, but I think this product fit my needs perfectly. > > Overall, I have loved using Delve\! Great customer service, helpful resources, and the tool itself was intuitive and easy to learn. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/240444/delve?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/240444/delve) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
