capital IQ vs FactSheet vs bloomberg for ER and AM
first of all sorry if this is the wrong section but it was the least "wrong" in my perspective. basically i'd like to know which are the mostly used platforms in ER (buy and sell side) and AM (which i know are a bit different as for the needs in terms of data).
i have read many topics on the argument but the comments were a bit elusive especially because none of them was recent. the summary of my findings so far is at follows:
bloomberg
1) for Fixed Income is king
2) is best for market data and news
factset
3) jack of all trades as for risk, portfolios, financial data (which sometimes lack precision)
4) somewhat cheaper
5) strong emphasis on automation
Capital IQ
6) has great flexibility since it is web based
7) strong audability
8) large database with many M&A transactions
9) seems to be geared toward M&A/PE
10) can be reasonably automated
still, in the real world, which ones are used for ER and AM and why?
Bloomberg hands down

Bloomberg is taking over everything...
assume you mean FactSet? I use Bloomberg and Factset but really probably 80/20 in favor of bloomberg. Also have something called Thompson Baseline which i've literally never opened but the old timers seem to like it...
yes FactSet. (and i don't know why i wrote factSheet in the first place LoL)
I use both Bloomberg and Factset...I like Factset more but Bloomberg still has more information available.
I find the layout of Factset a lot cleaner and easier to find things regarding specific companies, also slightly more intuitive to use.
Does anyone else find charting in FactSet to be complete shit? I've tried to learn it several times but it's nearly impossible to draw simple price charts or look at fundamentals/valuation metrics against peer companies... In bloomberg this is always super quick and easy.
