    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.

    For use in both Windows and Mac OS, it was well suited by default. Other hardware doesn't really allow multi os file system access.

    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

    No support issues what-so-ever with Western Digital SSD. This product is so easy to use and configure that there have been no issues that required support other than individual research (online). This product is very stable also, even if dropped, functionality has never been compromised. In 2-3 years of usage, not one major issue at all has been experienced

    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.

    The price is the best option, and a key differentiator, the support and the native application for desktop and for mobile take advantages to others brands or manufactures, this apps are periodically updated this is a plus because others brands only update their apps one per year or more time

    • It helps avoid maintaining 2 different hard disks for different os or performing migration always before formatting the file system type.
    • It helped to reduce cost of maintenance and double hardware procurement.
