Well suited: 1. We use Data Central to run queries & fetch data. 2. It's an amazing tools where we create multiple profiles with Query & then create multiple job id's for each profile. & then we run the query for the jobs. 3. Its so customizable as we can fetch the data through query for a particular, day, week, month, year. Least Suited: 1. Its very complicated for new users. 2. Data integration with multiple tables is a challenging during any launches. 3. Implementation is very time consuming since it involves large amount of data. 4. The output from the query is stored for maximum of 1 year & can't be retained for more than a year.

It is very well suited for reviewing client proposals, model portfolios and analyzing underlying holdings within various funds and portfolios. Envestnet also creates very clean client reports that are easy to read and understand. We also like Envestnet's proposal tool and have used the various proposal functions and reports when pitching new business.

Envestnet’s platform is very clean and user friendly. They have continued to provide software and platform updates and are open to client feedback and critiques. The portfolio analysis tool is a lot cleaner and more professional compared to other tools like Morningstar Direct and assetmark. Their fund universe is very extensive and with the additions of CITs we’ve been able to leverage the tool more effectively
