Best thing about S&P capital IQ platform is it provides financial news, deep market insights and detailed company performance data.

As such no dislike from my end but sometimes capital IQ does not bifurcate the data as we need it when running the screening tool. Even It has limited information for private small companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While conducting corporate due diligence research, I often need to find out ownership information to ensure that we can continue doing business with the company. Company financials, ownership, corporate tree, and transaction data are essential to this process. I like the ability to link to SEC filings, annual reports, and other data from the search. Also, the customer service is excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have a set format for the tear sheet and the company profiles again. I am not used to the new platform and having to create my own customized reports! Also I use Capital IQ for stock history and closing prices a lot. And I wish that the closing price data for warrants was available on Capital IQ but I have not found it there.

I used Capital IQ when I was working in the Private Equity sector, mainly to screen for potential investors to our fund.

I actually tried other platforms too but Capital IQ was the most user friendly one and the one that was helpful and efficient the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
