What are your opinions? My firm is thinking about switching over. Factset seems like they are more integrated based on the presentation we got. Do they really do anything CapIQ doesn't? I'm coming from a long/short portfolio and equity research perspective.

Personally use both. CapIQ is decent enough but can give some dogshit info when it comes to M&A etc (for which I mainly use mergermarket). Plus the factset interface is pretty nice. My two cents
I have personally used both but I have found the CapIQ excel plugin to be more intuitive. Could be a function of me using that one first but I found factset to be a bit harder to use and much more computationally intensive so it would shut down my computer at times.
Bloomberg :-P
When I used these I thought CapIQ was 10x better than factset (and bbg) in terms of interface, data cleaning. Nowadays I find Bbg has actually pretty much caught up so I have no need for CapIQ.
I am on the public side though - might be different if you do more deal/ m&a type work
