Valuation Software (DealSense / ValuAdder / etc.) Experiences??

Does anyone have experience with these type of programs? Would you recommend them? Which program?

I was asked to look at potential use of valuation software for my firm (DealSense specifically) to standardize the valuation process and formatting. Analysts are overwhelmed and it might be helpful for staffing. It would help Associates pick up less modeling if Analysts could crank out models faster.

(My firm doesn't use VP or MD titles - Associates act in traditional VP/MD role. But unfortunately when Analysts are swamped, we have to take time away from focusing on clients to build models.)

Couldn't find anything by searching the forum. I'm guessing that's because BB firms have their own in-house preferences and want their product to be unique. Looking for pro's and con's. Did they help or hurt you, are they flexible enough to actually use for anything, plug-and-play or learning curve, etc.

 

Hey Boutique Boucher, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
