How to choose a Q Research Software alternative
- 1
Check what the bill follows
Check whether your bill follows analyst seats, transferable licences or another basis, and whether payment is annual. Q's published licences are billed by the year. Compare that commitment with the repeatable survey work you need, and keep specialist methods in view if your studies depend on them.
- 2
Keep control of your records
Ask where response records are kept and who controls access. With the owned option, you control the database, and source records, review notes and saved findings stay together. Check that ownership and access arrangements suit your business before moving research work.
- 3
Fit your rules and fields
List the categories, weights, exclusions, reporting and review rules your team uses. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs. Confirm the version covers your required descriptive work and reporting, especially if you rely on specialist methods Q also offers.
- 4
Plan what moves across
Q documents exporting response-level data with category labels. That gives you records to bring across, but an export does not carry every project formula, report layout or model. Identify which studies, rules and outputs need checking, then compare accepted examples before switching.
The option that fits
Own the version your business needs
Survey Tabulation is the owned option when you want your survey work shaped around how your business works. Enterprise DNA builds your version around your studies, fields, methods and reporting, brings across the Q data you choose to export, and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own. You can work with it in plain language, or run the free version yourself. The built version has one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans.

Questions
Q Research Software alternatives, answered
What can you bring across from Q Research Software? expand_more
Q's documented export includes response-level data with category labels. Enterprise DNA maps the actual headings and checks counts, missing answers and weights. The export does not carry every project formula, report layout or model, so those requirements need to be scoped for your version.
Will the weighted figures match our current reports? expand_more
Weighted results match only when the inputs, exclusions, categories and calculation rules match. The free version calculates descriptive weighted shares and means, shows response bases and flags small groups. Compare accepted examples before changing your process. It does not mark a result as statistically significant.
Who controls the records and saved findings? expand_more
You control the database and who can access it. Source records, review notes and saved findings stay together. When exclusions or study rules change, earlier findings are marked stale. Accuracy and retention reminders can identify missing review evidence.
How does Enterprise DNA charge for the owned version? expand_more
Enterprise DNA agrees one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for ongoing work or operation. The scope follows your studies, data migration, research methods and reporting needs. The free version is available for an owner to run themselves.
