ARGUS by Altus Group vs. Morningstar Direct

[Argus is] the best property valuation tool on the market but you also can't really do any advanced property valuations without Argus. It's an industry standard and while there are competitors, they do not approach the same feature set or institutional usage the Argus has.

Morningstar Direct is great for classifying funds in order of performance and has a huge database to check against. Pretty much every category you can imagine is covered. It is best for research and analyzing before making big decisions. The interface is fairly clean and relatively simple to use.

Argus is the type of program that is very difficult to just sit down and figure out. Our analysts must have formal training in order to use it. The standard is a three day classroom course that is offered on a pretty regular basis.

Support is pretty good. The techs are pretty knowledgeable about the product and confident. You don't feel like they are just going through the knowledgebase and they are easy to understand. I have also never been stuck on hold for a long period of time to speak to someone.

Morningstar is slightly more buggy and laggy. But includes far more data and is more trusted.
