What do you like best about YCharts?

I am a very pleased customer. I use YCharts to evaluate the financial health of publically traded companies and economies. After over 18 months of use, I continue to stumble across new and insightful data within the vast array of in-depth world, US federal, and US state-specific data offered by YCharts. The enormous amount of easily digestible information is remarkable. The product offered by YCharts is put together very well by the product managers and developers to give users a clean and straightforward, yet in-depth, visual analysis of data. I feel this product was created by investors, for investors, with a focus on fundamental analysis.

Previously, I used TC2000 and was satisfied. However, I was more pleased with the vast array of fundamental financial metrics (particularly the trailing twelve months metrics) offered by YCharts. I have never used Bloomberg Terminal, so I cannot provide a comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YCharts?

I had a poor initial experience because I did not like the account representative assigned to me. When I informed the representative that we were not a good match, the reassignment process was professional.

Furthermore, there are some visually distracting elements, such as a popup chat window tab that reads "Have Questions". This would be acceptable to keep for users in the trial phase, but it is obnoxious and unnecessary for paying users. Additionally, it sometimes visually blocks charts and data, which is very annoying.

Moreover, the mobile experience is very poor. The product is best experienced on a desktop or laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use YCharts to evaluate the financial health of publically traded companies and economies for the portfolio management of the wealth of my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YCharts?

The depth, broadness, and ease to merge and combine the data across different assets and time is truly remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YCharts?

The features controlling the display of charts and dashboards seem pretty limited. As an example of that, I would like to be able to fully customize my dashboards (floater layout), rather than having my watchlists stacked vertically for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?

YCharts allows me to generate quality trade ideas quickly. The platform provides everything a serious manager or investor needs to perform a solid top down/bottom up analysis. The ability to easily access and combine economic, sector and asset data is what sets YCharts apart from many other financial data services. A quick example of that is the "multi-chart feature" that is used at the company level. Instead of reading through Company's10-Ks, one can simply visualize the financial statements in a customizable dashboard and can quickly evaluate a business.

What do you like best about YCharts?

The ability to put together my own charts and tracking of indexes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YCharts?

Would like to see integration into other tools such as wealthscape, envestnet, emoney, etc. For example able to connect to other tech stack tools and analyze portfolios and investments without manually entering. I realize you can import model portfolios using csv files but would like to see direct integrations to save time. Also model portfolios not as helpful when many client portfolios are customized (or ability to analyze a prospective clients portfolio and compare side by side). Would like to see more esg tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YCharts?

When I first started using YCharts, I like the fundamental charts with multiple metrics. Later I found Fastgraphs to be superior at much lower price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YCharts?

I was really upset when the estimates chart depict the wrong presentation of actual vs. estimate EPS and revenue. Very often I could find stocks when the actual is lesser than estimates but YCharts estimates chart show actual to be higher than estimates. This is really bad and I don't expect this for the price I paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YCharts:

Just be careful that you do not assume the YCharts give you accurate data. You need to check to be sure if the charts are accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YCharts solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wish I could rely on Ycharts to tell me quickly whether a stock is at fair value by looking at their fundamental charts with various metrics plotted in the same chart. I also wished I could tell if the stock's future is in the uptrend with actual results beating estimates but the chart gave me the wrong info. (I have uploaded a screenshot of Google revenue estimates vs. actual chart. This chart show GOOG actual beat estimates for all previous quarters but this is clearly not the case)

Worse of all, I feedback this to their staff and insisted their data provider is reliable when I provided them evidences that the chart is showing the wrong picture. This is so unprofessional! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kara Hughes of YCharts

Joshua, we're very sorry to hear that you weren't satisfied with your YCharts subscription and appreciate you raising your concerns. We do our best to ensure that our users have access to high-quality data, and that's why our equity data and estimates are sourced from Morningstar and S&P Global, respectively — both of which are very reputable sources. That said, we look forward to continued engagement with you to explore, and if possible, address your concerns.
