Do you use Bloomberg or any other terminals?

I am curious if pe houses in US or any other countries use Bloomberg, CIQ, or so on. I have heard hedge funds use all the terminals out there and I have seen a couple of pe houses use ciq, but our house does not have a single terminal. Is this common for a PE firm?

Haven't seen a bloomberg terminal since I was in banking, and even then we only had one on our floor for over 100 bankers to use.

So, no. You will not need a bloomberg terminal in PE (or really banking, for that matter).
