What do you like best about Refinitiv Eikon?

Thomson Reuters Eikon is a powerful tool that has relevant and easy to interpret analytics dashboards. The information is timely and dynamic. I also like how I can access this platform through my mobile phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Refinitiv Eikon?

I do not really dislike anything for the most part. Sometimes it can be slow, but that is a problem with most similar platforms. Maybe another thing I dislike is how the user interface is not super intuitive, there is slight training or it takes some time to get used to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Refinitiv Eikon:

If you are deciding between Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg terminals consider industry standards, also consider training for employees, as most people have used Bloomberg over Thomson Reuter Eikon. Thus, takes time for new employees to get used to it. Industry standards would be the main concern, otherwise the information and platforms between the 2 biggest competitors (TR Eikon and Bloomberg) are fairly similar and provide the same infomration with the same ease of access (mobile, access the terminals remote from your laptop etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Refinitiv Eikon solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides financial information, all the exclusive news on financial markets and certain industries in one place. It consolidates information from all over the web into an easy to use platform that also does analysis. It also solves the problem of creating reports and analysis/ graphs on the financial markets. This makes it easier to use the data to come up with relevant information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Refinitiv Eikon?

TR have a robust amount of data on securities in the multi-asset space. as such, if we need to analyse securities we can count on accurate data including up to date prices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Refinitiv Eikon?

the interface is very difficult to use and is very different from any other. it is also hard to convert these data into a form we can use in external applications such as excel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Refinitiv Eikon:

to be honest i would consider alternate analytics providers. if you need to use it, use it sparingly for things like up to date prices and maybe utilise these data for external applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Refinitiv Eikon solving and how is that benefiting you?

we need analytics for our multi-asset portfolios and eikon provides that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Refinitiv Eikon?

Thomson Eikon is a strong competitor in the desktop terminal space when compared to Bloomberg and FactSet. It's modular nature and ability to add functionality makes it flexible. It is somewhat more intuitive to use and if you've used ThomsonOne you'll quickly pick this up. The mobile app could be better though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Refinitiv Eikon?

The mobile app could be better and it would be great if it had a better, more google like and intuitive transcript/research search feature (similar to Sentieo or Alphasense). Support could be better, it's nowhere near as good as Bloomberg and a not quite as good as Factset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Refinitiv Eikon:

I'm sure many of these purchasing decisions are driven by price, but to the extent possible ask your team what they prefer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Refinitiv Eikon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need for financial data and access to sellside research. It's provided these services as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
