Machine resources (what is running and installed on the machine)Ĥ. Results users will see are dependent on Ģ. This is always the hardest question to answer, mainly because there are so many factors that affect performance, so any kind of comparison between results we see and what users see is difficult. Anyway it really requires too much system resources. I have 249 large documents, 73 memos and 468 nodes.
#Nvivo customer support 64 bits
Nevertheless I must recognize that Nvivo 9 works very well with a large project if you have Windows 7 64 bits with an Intel Core i7 processor (2.8 GHz) and 8 Gb RAM.
#Nvivo customer support software
This software was liaght and fast before it begun to use MS tech. I told developers every time I had the chance, and I blame Microsoft technology for that. It's more or less the criticism I made since two years: It takes time, but it is cleaner (and it makes the first reading) It's really a shame because, otherwise, nvivo has many qualities that cannot be found elsewhere.Ībout the pdf: I convert them all in text (word or. To analyze 5 pages, paper and a pencil is quite sufficient!īut maybe nvivo is not software for the academic (=long and deep studies -> big size). In my opinion, this development strategy is unintelligent: computing is only useful for analyzing large body of text. I would have liked a light software, quick and stable to analyze these type of sources. Often (maybe once a day), the project freezes. For some complex operations (matrix), I let it run overnight. I have to wait several seconds for simple operations. None of these projects are working well (that is to say prompt and stable). Questionnaire survey (questionnaire 4 pages of open-ended questions): 300 individuals Analysis of the press: about 1500 articles Literature review: approximately 800 references (with abstract, keywords).
#Nvivo customer support pdf
It's more or less the criticism I made since two years: I feel that this software works to analyze 2 pdf or text of 10,000 characters, or a focus group. Nvivo might be fine for smaller projects that do not have pdf-files (say transcripts of interviews, etc.), but not for bigger projects like ours. I hope others have better experiences, but I certainly regret having spent over €6000 on these Nvivo licenses. My growing suspicion is that Nvivo might be fine for smaller projects that do not have pdf-files (say transcripts of interviews, etc.), but not for bigger projects like ours. Customer support is fairly slow (24 hours turnaround) and of dubious quality (I've detailed my experience with them in another thread under Questions/Answers).[you ARE supposed to be able to do it with query, but I haven't been able to coinfirm that as that one crashes 100% of the time) we always used coding summary reports under 'Tools' - this is now gone, and the help facility says that "Reports and extracts do not contain content from your sources or nodes." Reports without content. Some built-in reports are no longer available (e.g.We noticed no speed improvements whatsoever - it remains terribly slow.Sometimes this happens while opening the file (it crashes at least 50% of the time while opening, typically at 67%), sometimes when performing some action (merging nodes, aggregating, creating reports) - again I'd say about half of the time Nvivo 9 crashes at least as often as Nvivo 8 did, which is a LOT.there is no way to save your files back to Nvivo 8 (confirmed by customer support) We purchased 4 Nvivo 8 licenses for the 4 teams that were working on this project, and so there is no way back for us now !!!.To avoid other people from making the same mistake, let me share some points that we have found out about Nvivo 9: But if anything, that has made things worse. I therefore downloaded Nvivo 9, which comes advertized as a major new release (faster, more stable, better pdf-support, etc.). For the past few weeks, we have been trying to collect the results, which has proven impossible in Nvivo 8, which kept crashing. We had a big project (about 300 sources (mostly pdf, also Chinese and Russian in there), and 700 nodes - the file is about 400 MB) which was coded in Nvivo 8 for a few months by a (small) team of analysts around the world.
