    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.

    DemandTools is good for almost everything related to mass data manipulation. The only scenario I haven't tried using DemandTools and was recommended to use Data Loader for was inserting records while keeping the original created date. The issue was that we had a disconnection with an external messaging partner, and when the records were retrieved, a few days had passed since the original day of the incoming messages. To insert the messages while keeping the original created date, DataLoader was helpful. I am not sure how to do that in DemandTools. But again, for everything else, DemandTools is a lifesaver.

    Cons
    S&P Global Inc.
    • The scope and depth of the collected data can be increased.
    • The UI with little icons and buttons may be difficult at first but may become intuitive. The UI isn't horrible but might be better.
    • Global data coverage, but US and UK markets have the greatest details. MENA and APAC lack.

    • I wish I could make changes to my existing scenarios using save rather than having to create a whole new scenario. Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to.
    • Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn.

    It's a great product. The only thing that holds us back is it was frustrating working with their sales team. We also don't like that when Validity purchased DemandTools they immediately started charging us quite a bit while it had been free for non-profit users when CRMFusion owned it. They also don't let you buy it for just 1 or 2 seats, you have to pay, I believe, in batches of 100 seats.

    Allows for control in uploading lists, saved processes for checking duplicate records.

    Allows for backup files and quick reverts if something goes wrong.

    Extends reporting when Salesforce.com cannot support specific pieces of info being put together in a report.

    Automated processes for set and forget hygiene tasks

    Support can be slow so do not expect quick turn for urgent issues.
    Help for specific queries not not there. Product tech support is offered. It would be great if query support, even if paid, was offered
    The training webinars help with the basics but not much if you need advanced functionality.

    The trainings are free live webinars that give you a solid base for getting started with the program. The only weakness is they don't have any advanced classes.

    I had just started using Salesforce about 3 months before I did the implementation myself, and it was easy to do just following their step-by-step instructions.

    We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.

    Though RingLead has much more to offer in terms of automation (and it is in Salesforce rather than a separate program), DemandTools still has our heart. DemandTools is very cost-friendly and we were able to increase the value of DemandTools by programming in additional saved scenarios. I decreased admin time in the DemandTools suite by approximately 25% after implementing saved scenarios for every reoccurring update or list upload.

    • It is a tremendous time saver. It does things Salesforce doesn't even have the capability to do. Tasks that would take hours to manually complete.
    • We can process a tremendous amount of data daily through one person, vs. weeks for the data to be cleaned, reviewed, routed and input.
    • Saves on headcount by allowing a dedicated user to set up batches and jobs for other teams to ensure their data integrity.
    • The return on investment isn't easily quantifiable but it is FELT in our department.
