FactSet/ CapIQ in PE

At a bank which uses FactSet for all our Excel and PPT add-ins, but that also has access to CapIQ for other research. 

Curious what the large cap PE funds use (BX, APO, CG, KKR) - is it generally FactSet/ CapIQ? 

For Analysts that transitioned to a fund which uses different add-ins, was there any learning curve associated with getting up to speed on different shortcuts, etc?
