Data Privacy Restrictions
UIS has conducted a vendor risk assessment and determined that for the University of Minnesota, NVivo is not approved for use with Private-Highly Restricted Data, including PHI.
Compatibility Issues
NVivo recommends that teams working with NVivo use the same version of the software and do not work cross-platform. For example, there are significant compatibility issues when transferring NVivo project files from Mac operating systems via Box. The file is likely to become corrupted and unable to be downloaded from Box for use or for conversion for use on a PC. Should secure file transfer be necessary, alternative file transfer processes may be required. This is only an issue from Mac to Box, PC versions of NVivo can be successfully shared via Box.
