There are various alternatives for analysing your collected data.

The suitable software depends on how complex your questionnaire is, how good your knowledge of quantitative and statistical analysis is, and how much time and effort you can (or want) to invest.

Microsoft Excel is sufficient for descriptive insights. For more technically complex insights, such as extensive regression analysis, statistical software programs such as the STATA (paid option) or R (free option) can be used. However, you will require some time to learn how to use those programs.


You also might want to visualize your data. Depending on your needs, there are various online providers that offer free options. Visualize Free for instances provides a simple solution with many easy-to-use features. Students looking for more extensive software should check out Tableau, which offers a free package for all students for a year.
