BamSEC vs. Bloomberg Terminal

other than being essentially unusable on mobile/tablet, BamSec is second to none when it comes to efficiently searching through filings and transcripts. really like how it pre-sorts all a company's documents into PRs, 8-Ks, proxies, trancripts, 10-K/-Q, et cetera we also like that you can use screening function that enables searches across multiple companies or company lists

Well-suited as a monitoring tool for market prices, economic indicators, and news. Less appropriate for fundamental research and analysis. Other tools, such as AlphaSense and Visible Alpha, are better/more user-friendly for research usage or manipulation of financial statements, either because the platform itself is easier to use or because the Excel add-in function is simpler, less confusing.

not even comparable. Koyfin would take much much longer to feed new filings than BamSec the only place this beats BamSec is the mobile website, i really hope BamSec can get their act together on that front
