Factset - Is it used in every IB? (UK)

Do all the BBs such as GS/MS/JP/BofA/Citi... use Factset for comps (excel plug in) or is there any bank from this list that uses Bloomberg / Eikon / CapIQ?  

Is it the same for banks such as Nomura / HSBC / BNP?

And if there is any bank using the other providers, is there any particular reason or is it price the main issue?  @French Hardo" @Pan European Monkey"

We use factset for comps and additionally SNL (CapIQ specific tool) for O&G data at IB M&A

Barely no use of BBG, sometimes for some specific data but factset provides us mostly everything we need
