    Wealthbox CRM is great with looking up advisor information. It looks a lot like a Facebook profile -- you can quickly make a comment to record a phone conversation, post an email, etc. The customizable workflows are great for due dates and keeping steps within your business.

    • The scope and depth of the collected data can be increased.
    • The UI with little icons and buttons may be difficult at first but may become intuitive. The UI isn't horrible but might be better.
    • Global data coverage, but US and UK markets have the greatest details. MENA and APAC lack.

    • Workflow Glitches - workflows will sometimes not move to the next step or will continue to spin in a "loading" fashion. Can be frustrating and slows down business.
    • Issues do not get resolved timely.

    We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.
