CAQDAS in Surrey has just published an overview on a number of CAQDAS:
http://caqdas.soc.surrey.ac.uk/Choosing%20a%20CAQDAS%20package%20-%20Lewins&Silver.pdf
Then there is a fresh comparative review of Atlas and NVivo in the latest
issue of Field Methods:
http://fmx.sagepub.com/cgi/content/refs/16/4/439
And may I also shameless advertise my own beta version of a comparison of
several CAQDAS and some possible substitutes:

Finally, wenn Du Deutsch sprichst: Es gibt einen brandneuen Vergleich von
Arno Heimgaertner:
Heimgartner, Arno. forthcoming. Das System in der Komplexität: Atlas/ti,
MaxQda, N6 und NVivo im Vergleich. In: Praxisbuch: Empirische
Sozialforschung in den Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaften., edited by
Hannelore Reicher and Hubert Stigler. Studienverlag:

Actually, that is no longer true: Most programs these days manage more than
plain text, see:
