I do not know much about QDA tools, I have never got the time to test
them. I remember however there was a discussion about such tools on
RadPsyNet. Unfortunately I believe Atlas.ti was one of the tools
mentioned and no one proposed any better or free tools, but some other
tools were mentioned. You can find RadPsyNet here:

The thread I think about has the subject
Computer Tools for Analysing Qualitative Data
