Best software for ABS and MBS

I'm working for a startup in NYC focused on asset management and we're looking for software that would provide the best data in terms of 

ABS, MBS, CLO's, and CDOs. Would love to know which software is the best to use for small firms with a tight budget. 

In addition, what aspects of the current asset management solutions in the market could be enhanced to provide greater visibility and insight for a basket of various assets 

be it bonds, cds, and other financial products.

Intex is the go-to software for ABS/CLOs etc. as it is probably the most comprehensive data source by far, however it is not suitable for a tight budget as it's even more expensive than a bloomberg subscription

 

Second the above comment. Intex is the gold standard for structured products. Yieldbook is a common choice for Agency MBS. Trepp is popular for CMBS but my experience with them has been terrible. What kind of data do you need? Depending on your needs you might not need any of them, as they can be prohibitively expensive.
