Outstanding Effectiveness for Converting Raw Text Into Actionable Insights
What do you like best?
The easy-to-use capability of sifting through large volumes of text (from single or multiple documents) and to perform cluster extraction, expression retrieval and keyword retrieval is amazing. All of these capabilities are very powerful on their own for the business user and become even more useful when exported directly over to its complementary product---Wordstat. I use the product as both a data scientist in industry and as a data science instructor in the masters degree program at Elmhurst College (Chicago area). It is the perfect tool for my applications.
What do you dislike?
No issues with the product. The capabilities of the product are vast. I tend to use the retrieval and analysis features primarily.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Text mining problems primarily. Analyzing raw unstructured text from surveys and customer commentaries to uncover recurrent themes and patterns of beliefs among respondents. QDA Miner reduces this very complex exercise to a relatively easy and straight-forward task. The time savings from using this product are very significant.
