    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.

    Seamless AI is very well suited for the first round of prospecting, or when going after a very publicly known and traded company. A good example would be popular brand names in the country. Whereas it does show limitations for smaller companies, it cannot yield deep data in the same way as others might. However, it is agile, very fast, and compatible. I highly recommend it to any sales force.

    • Refresh Rate of Seamless.ai is quite good. A quick way to know this is see if a lead has changed jobs recently on LinkedIn, how quickly does it get refreshed in Seamless
    • Search Capabilities are decent. Not as strong as some of its competitors, but would do the job for sure.
    • Exporting lead lists is a great feature and a boon for saving a lot of time. Direct CSVs can be exported and fed into the CRM.

    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.

    • Enrichment / Data Quality: Phone Number quality can be way better than it is right now. Even email addresses are incorrect a lot of times.
    • Industry Filter: There are just way too many industries. Some of them definitely can be grouped / combined to help land at search results faster.

    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.

    Seamless.AI is hands down the best platform currently out in the market and cost effective. ZoomInfo is great as well, but their price compared to Seamless.AI is more than half of them. Why pay more for the same great product?
