Usability
It's a good product, it has a lot of functionalities, and the information is accurate. However, it could be easier to use, particularly the Excel formulas such as BQL. The third-party research functionalities are also a bit slow and difficult to search for when using keyword search.

Visible Alpha and AlphaSense are better for fundamental research of publicly listed companies. The Visible Alpha Excel plug-in is easy to use, the financial KPIs are easy to find, and there's a long historical data availability. Whereas the AlphaSense AI functionality is incredibly useful when researching companies because it allows for searches in broker research and regulatory filings using AI.
