FinListics ClientIQ Reviews & Product Details

Finlistics gives you a consolidated view and helps summarize key areas of focus for public companies. In our industry, these companies are our customers and it's important to understand what they are tasked with so we can help accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there is so much data that it can be overhwelming. You just have to stick with and and you'll get used to which KPIs are important and applicable to your role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is straightforward to pull financial information about companies and compare them to other companies in their industry they compete against and against industry norms. ClientIQ also has KPIs around key industry metrics and models for you to build business cases for change in clients. I have used this extensively in business development efforts with clients that I had relationships with and those I didn't. In all cases, using the ClientIQ tool enabled me to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the client, deliver accurate insights that can help them improve their position and established my credibility as a consultant interested in their well-being and not just another salesperson. The output from this tool provides the basis for business conversations that lead to solution selling and not a "hammer looking for a nail.' This tool helps you both in business development activities and in building pro forma business cases to sell solutions to IT and LoB executives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much I dislike as I have used several iterations of the tool and it has gotten better every time. The only thing I can add here is that sometimes the industry divisions are not as granular as I would like. For instance, the life science industry includes traditional pharma, biopharma, CROs, medical device companies and consumer-oriented companies but the tool treats them the same. All are quite different and the KPIs are different. You can use the tool in such a way that allows you to account for those differences, but it is not automatic.

- The industry analysis is generalised, does not work / not suitable for all markets (for example South East Asia).

- Lack of information on the technology sector/industry.

- Outdated user interface/user experience

- Lack of interactive charting, analytical tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to quickly pull financial reporting and put it into plain text, such that someone without a finance background can understand, is beneficial. I primarily use the executive summary feature. I also use it to better understand my customer's business cycle without having to source that information from someone in their organization. This information helps me better understand where they are in their budgetary cycle and when I should be having the conversation about future products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could be slightly easier to use. I also don't use it at the frequency one might imagine, only when preparing for C-level conversations or researching my new customers. It's also difficult to access Finlistics through my company's internal systems - using the multifactor sign-on seems like overkill for a financial research tool.

It can also be challenging to research private companies. It's not exceptionally intuitive that you have to input a SIC code for a company that IS public of relatively the same size. I wish Finlistics automated that feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When preparing for a conversation with a leader at one of my customers I can spend 10 minutes on ClientIQ and arm myself with enough relevant information about company financials to ask the right questions and establish credibility. Makes is so easy to understand! I also like the peer comarison. We work with alot of companies that are alwasys being metric'd against their competitors. Being abel to demonstrate that they are lagging behind their competitors in certain areas is very valuable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately I work with another of private companies that do not publish financial inforation to the public. The industry trends reports are useful but do not provide relevent information for my specific customer. Also When comparing to industry peers I wish the tool woud automatically add the most revelant competitors. Sometimes is difficult to select who is the most releveant in their industry.

ClientIQ collects public data and competitors' data for you so that in 5 minutes, you end up with a benchmark analysis. Probably you would pay a few ten thousand dollars worth of management consulting right in front of you.

When you start engaging with a value modeler, you can come up with the next-best-action list quickly, "What to offer to the client to achieve better."

Then with the ROI calculators, it's pretty fast both for you and for your prospective client to see what's at stake if you don't act. This process quickens the understanding process and the sales cycle very much... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see some best practices collected or press releases provided, which will help clients visualize the results of pieces of advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
