    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.

    Reval is suited to a large number of transactions across a disaggregated business. It may not be well suited where especially complex derivatives and highly stylized reporting are required.

    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.

    S&P CIQ Pro has great data, however, the new pro version is currently difficult to use given how slow the data is to process

    They are usually prompt and reliable. Occasionally, we have time difference issues as support is often offshore some local staff turnover since ION acquired Reval, but this has been managed.

    Alternatives Considered
    S&P Global Inc.
    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.

    GTreasury acquired Visual Risk (which was an alternative product), but we preferred Reval for processing grunt (albeit GTreasury/Visual risk had an easier user interface). Have used Sungard/Quantum previously, however, I haven't looked at it recently.
