User Testimonials
	S&P Capital IQ
Likelihood to Recommend	S&P Global Inc. Cap IQ is well suited for analyzing security pricing and valuation, tracking stock performance over time, looking up comparable transactions, and analyzing valuations on an industry basis. The service is also well suited for charting and data analysis purposes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	S&P Global Inc. Plugins that change and analyze analysis improve it. Capital IQ is user-driven, unlike other market participants, which helps streamline the dashboard and acquire accurate data. Any report or analysis delivers the most in fewest words. In this data-driven world. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	S&P Global Inc. S&P Capital IQ's add-in slows down my Excel when I incorporate formulas into it. S&P Capital IQ's algorithms don't necessarily look in the footnotes of company filings, which can make for a less robust analysis of financials and multiples than desired. The user interface is not very user-friendly and thus makes maximizing the software's features difficult. It could be more intuitive to use and not so busy (e.g. not so many small icons on one web page). The S&P Capital IQ support team, however, is always available and very helpful.

Return on Investment	S&P Global Inc. We were a boutique investment bank, so it helped multiple people doing their job at the same time instead of waiting for a turn on the Bloomberg terminal. Brought more interactive reports in PDF format to the table. Saved some money, if I have to go basic. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
