• 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.

• Crashing: must be solved much quicker

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.

Adding a rider to a lease on one property or several properties can be a headache and support is not very responsive. You can always use the customizable rider option, but on many occasions that portion is needed for something else and it shouldn't be used instead of a rider which should be permanent. This is extremely frustrating when leases have to be made in a timely matter; however, this is a support issue rather than a software issue. A mobile app would be amazinggggg and/or a more user-friendly mobile web experience.

• Saved some money, if I have to go basic.
