BlackRock Aladdin vs. Morningstar Advisor Workstation

If a client is shy about investing or wants portfolio comparisons, Morningstar really hits the mark. Being able to show real-time data is great for putting a client's mind at ease. The downside to this product is, that if a client isn’t as financially literate, it takes some explaining to show them what’s going on, and they can get lost in all of the data.
