Read full review PersistIQ is well suited for outbound marketing. It's great for setting up sales and marketing campaigns to new and prospective clients.

Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.

Read full review Cons 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.

I'd like a way to go deeper into a lot of my stats on various emails. Read full review Likelihood to Renew [It's the] best ever.

Apollo .io and we might switch to them as they are also cheap and look better, but we might also get back to manual emailing and Linkedin connecting.

Brought more interactive reports in PDF format to the table. Saved some money, if I have to go basic.
