# NodeXL

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/311665/nodexl

> Network analysis is a powerful way to understand the webs of connections that make up the modern world.  Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a set of mathematical tools to assemble and analyze webs of connections.  But until recently, only a data scientist with Python or R software development skills could easily collect, analyze, visualize and report on a network.  NodeXL makes SNA as easy as making a pie chart.

The Internet makes creating webs of connections easy but difficult to collect and analyze.  Every click, tap, and swipe creates information about connections between people, pages, and organizations.  Previously, with advanced skills, these connections could be collected and analyzed. Now, just a few clicks are needed to assemble social media data into a network that can be analyzed, visualized, and reported on to reveal key people, groups, topics, and trends.

NodeXL Pro makes it easy to collect data from a range of social media network platforms, like Twitter, YouTube, Wikis, flicker and more. Social media network analysis can quickly reveal the key people and groups in a stream of social media messages.  The thought leaders who set the agenda for most topics on the social Internet are quickly revealed based on their location within the center of the network.  Few people can occupy these key positions and network analysis quickly spotlights them.

Many organizations are overwhelmed with the volume of social media data that seems relevant to their business.  The names of brands, products, competitors, and prominent voices can attracts hundreds of thousands of messages a day.  The fire hose of content is so large many organizations just turn away from the stream, engaging only when a crisis emerges.

With better tools for data collection and analysis, social media can become a valuable source of information about customer opinions and attitudes.  With quick summaries of the key people, topics, and trends, NodeXL can reveal the signal in the background noise.

NodeXL requires very little training and contains a powerful Automation feature that enables new users to quickly generate professional finished results.  In a few clicks, users can collect information from a range of social media platforms and convert them into visual maps and detailed text reports on the leading voices, topics, and trends.

Users can schedule NodeXL Pro to operate automatically, generating a series of web reports, emails, or slide decks that summarize the topics of interest.  Rather than devote hours a day to consuming social media data, NodeXL users can cover a vast range of topics in minutes, immediately identifying the informal leaders and emerging topics related to a variety of words, brands, businesses, and prominent people.

NodeXL can enable organizations to benchmark and evaluate their social media engagement.  Maps made over time can show the evolution of a topic while comparisons between rivals and competitors can be powerfully illuminating\!

Advanced users can import a wide range of enterprise network data to reveal insights in transaction logs and customer records.

## Reviews

### "Visualizations that can't be beat" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 September 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease with which one can collect Twitter data, but that the software can be used to analyze and visualize any other network data.  The graphs are great, particularly with the pro version.
> 
> **Cons**: Runs slowly  and at times crashes - though the speed issue is primarily due to Twitter constraints.  No crash issues on my desktop, where I have 32 GB of  RAM.  Some of my students are not so fortunate.
> 
> I have used NodeXL for a number of years for the analysis of a variety of topics as it offers a simple and intuitive picture of network dynamics along with basic descriptive network statistics.
