Bloomberg Terminal vs. CB Insights

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.
