“Incredibly easy to use and the AI feature is helpful with exploring codes I may have missed initially.” - Christopher S.

“Perfect for our small, agile team”

We were up and running with Delve within minutes. It was very intuitive to use, with very quick setup. We were able to easily collaborate and facilitate our thematic analysis process without a steep learning curve and at a very reasonable price. The help guides and learning center were also great resources for those on the team unfamiliar with qualitative coding.

“Delve the Perfect Qualitative Data Coding Software for This Grad Student on a Budget”

Importing my transcription data was simple and the software itself is very intuitive. Being able to to see and easily access all of my codes in one place was especially gratifying after finishing the process of coding and made data analysis much easier and more efficient. The webinars Delve offers on coding were invaluable to my own coding process. The pricing is also very reasonable.

Noah D.

“Delve rocks”

Amazing and a great customer support! Delve is really user friendly - easy and simple, yet effective. A great tool to help you deliver quality insights with tight timelines and on a budget. If you an expert, you'll fly through it, otherwise the tool itself teaches you indirectly and guides you along methods.

Roxana B.

“Great for Qualitative Dissertations”

My professors were also impressed with how I was able to use the platform. When justifying the themes related to my study, I was able to use Delve's display to show the coding that supported those findings. I've heard horror stories about old-school 'coding' from professors when they had to highlight, cut out, making piles, and sort through quotes to develop themes. Delve's platform made coding simple and I was easily able to navigate the tools.

Ryan A.

“A really great tool!”

Overall, great product with a ton of potential and uses. This tool makes it easy for multiple people to synthesize and analyze qualitative data at the same time. My colleague and I have been using Delve for about a year and it's been really beneficial to our team and organization. I love the way it's organized and the work that is being done to optimize it.

Liam C.

“Outstanding tool for Qualitative researchers”

Using Delve saves me tremendous amounts of time, and brings my research insights more to life! It saves me loads of time when preparing a report and helps me digest qualitative themes more efficiently. Delve is extremely easy to use and intuitive. I am quickly able to navigate to great quotes or snippets to support the points I am making, and wade through large amounts of data (transcripts, open-end survey results, etc) in an effortless way.

Tamra F.

“Easy to use, affordable, and top-notch customer support”

We use delve for qualitative coding for our consulting work. We absolutely depend on it. Delve is incredibly easy to use, which makes it great for projects with multiple people working them-there's no learning curve or lengthy onboarding process. The Delve team also provides top-notch customer service and is extremely responsive.

Kieran H.

“Easy to use”

Delve is great for conducting qualitative research Delve was easy to use. I used it for my doctoral research and it helped me to organize my interview information into codes and categories. In addition, it made it easy for me to search within all of my interview transcripts for specific words or phrases.

David S.

“Fantastic qualitative research tool”

I have used this to analyze my qualitative research for my dissertation. I love how I can select the codes, export the information into Excel, and organize/change it as I go. This is the most amazing resource for qualitative analysis. I have loved the resources they have provided including the workshops and tools. The system is very easy to use and really helps with analysis.

Jasmine P.

“User Friendly & Great for Collaboration”

Delve is extremely easy and intuitive to use. It works easily when collaborating with others on a qualitative project. When coding I like the flexibility of this software to rename, regroup as you conduct your analysis. There is an extensive resource library for questions/how to's but also highly responsive customer service if you need help. The Delve team is open to feedback and continuously improving the software.

Meredith M.

“We were hooked the minute we finished the demo.”

Delve is very easy to learn and use individually or as a team. Using Delve has shortened our time to process text for coding and organizing for presentations. Used with time codes, it can also shorten video editing times. We've used several other products and found Delve to be a perfect complement to our workflow. If you can believe it, we actually had been using MS Excel, finding other products in this category too expensive and complex for our needs. Delve has made this work fun again!

Kim K.

“Fantastic qualitative analysis and organization tool that saves time!”

Delve has helped me reduce my hands-on analysis time that I was doing manually: reading Word transcripts, copying and pasting verbatims into a separate document, making notes about findings in yet another document, and writing into a PPT file. Great feature set is very intuitive to learn and start using right away. Interface makes it very easy to construct codes, highlight and code text and view excerpts in different ways. Being able to code as little as a word or as much as a paragraph (or multiple paragraphs) results in more robust coding. Knowing that I can focus solely on coding and let the platform categorize the data for me means coding takes much less time than doing it by hand. Once I have coded everything, I can then view the data in different ways, start my analysis and find the story.

Maria V.

“Just the Solution I was looking for”

I continue to be impressed by the ease of use and the many ways I can integrate the coding and quotes into my dissertation. I love that it is web-based and easy to use. I needed software to assist me in coding my interview for my dissertation. I saw a free tutorial on how to code using various methods. I became sold on the product from the video though it was not being overtly pushed. It addressed what I needed in a reasonably priced package. The customer service & follow up are top notch.

Laurie B.

“Delve Makes Coding Easy”

My experience has been beyond what I expected (excellent)....very valuable and easy to use software I want to say how grateful I am for Delve. I fellow classmate highly recommended Delve after we became frustrated with other coding software. We both wanted a software that was intuitive and user-friendly to code our dissertation research transcripts, and Delve is it!! The easy step-by-step tutorials are a wonderful resource.

Maria S.

“Quick start, intuitive, & inexpensive”

I used this for qualitative research, mainly coding and analysis of interview data. I have already recommended Delve to colleagues and will definitely continue to use it in the future. I loved how easy it was for me to get started coding my interview transcripts right away. I didn't have to waste any time figuring out a program because everything on Delve is so straightforward and intuitive. The education pricing is so inexpensive that Delve would be highly appropriate for students just learning how to code as well as seasoned researchers. It's also flexible enough that you only pay for the time that you're using the program - in my case I used it all the time at first, then paused my membership and reopened it when I had new data and analysis to do.

Teri M.

“Delve is an amazing program to organize data for qualitative research”

Delve helped me to organize and code qualitative research for my doctoral dissertation. It was very easy to use and intuitive in its use. The tools I used took me from organizing my transcripts to first and second-round coding through thematic analysis. Whenever I had a question, I immediately received a response. Delve's cost allows it to be accessible for everyone, especially for students. I have recommended Delve to other colleagues as well. I would use Delve again. It is easy for the first-time user or someone who has more experience.

Lisa G.

“Delve - A superb coding software for qualitative research and for writing dissertation”

My overall experience with Delve was excellent. I was so thrilled that Delve showed up when I searched for "coding for researching" on YouTube. Delve is really a well thought out software, and I am extremely happy with all the features I used. I will give it a six stars if I could. I highly recommend this software for coding qualitative research. All the features were well thought out, easy to use, and very intuitive. The customer support is superb!

Sharon G.

“A game changer”

I had a demo of this software (maybe more than once) and kind of forgot about it until I had a project with 50 IDIs! The pain of slogging through 50 transcripts reminded me of Delve and I signed up on the spot. I've used it on every project since. It's so easy. I was a bit scarred by some earlier products (NVivo) that were so time consuming and demanding. This is a breeze to use. It's totally streamlined by analysis and reporting.

“New to Coding”

I am in an EdD program and we took on a short 7 week project around the impacts of COVID on education and what first seemed like a daunting experience was made much more possible by the use of Delve. We wrapped up the class last night and the conversation was very rich. I don't think that would have ben possible in such a short time without this tool. The ease of use was impressive. I am new to coding qualitative data and found Delve to be intuitive and thoughtfully organized.
