    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.

    They are well suited in any area of computing storage needs that require speed, reliability, ease of management (with their Magician software), and good pricing is desired (i.e. day-to-day end-user desktop computer usage to HA, always-on SAN storage). Your end-users particularly will thank you for a Samsung SSD upgrade, especially if their machine is running off a hard drive, currently.

    • Incredibly fast response times. Accessing files and opening large programs like Photoshop have never been faster.
    • Samsung Magician software can be combined with your computers available RAM to increase the SSD performance.
    • It's reliable. Most standard hard drives are prone to failure, partitioning problems, and increased lag times. Samsung SSD is not.

    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.

    • The QVO models of their drives suffer performance loss. Now, that is just inherent to the use of QLC NAND, but they could offset this by adding more fast cache to those drives.
    • I would love to see Samsung bring enterprise-style hot-swappable 2.5" PCIe drives to a more mainstream market. One of my biggest reasons for not going with NVMe drives in my latest production storage server was the cost-prohibitive nature of enterprise-grade hot-swappable NVMe drives.
    • I have been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to think of a 3rd improvement I'd like to see Samsung make to their SSDs. I cannot think of anything realistic to add. It was hard enough to come up with the first two. They are just really good all-around.

    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

    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.

    WIth a one vendor solution you are most likely getting Samsung SSD's (unless its intel or Kioxia or Micron), but from a performance and reliability standpoint we have seen very good results with Samsung ssd's.

    • As developers, we improve our productivity with less wasting time booting our notebooks, and also when we finish the compilation of our projects in less time. Overall Samsung's SSD disks offer a better user experience.
