EDGAR Online vs. PitchBook

It is suited for larger companies who seek to find potential M&A deals. the depth and breadth of information is grand. For venture capital and consulting, other market research tools might suit them better since PitchBook's market research tool feels quite limited and unintuitive. For example, Forrester, CB Insights all have their proprietary framework for analyzing a market.

• PitchBook provides a very comprehensive database of not just companies and investors but also M&A activity, financials, funds and LPs.
• Pitchbook is multi-dimensional it how it can be used. For example, it can help to accomplish various business objectives, including deal sourcing, due diligence, private market intelligence and fundraising.
• PitchBook has an easy-to-navigate user interface. It enables the user to quickly find the data and information that he or she needs.

• Coverage of deals in India seems to be much slower at this point
• Updated company financials. Avoid showing dated 5 year old revenues would be better instead
• An enhanced section focused on Incubators / Accelerators. I'd love a place to track my favorite incubators like YCombinator, Alchemist, etc., and find deals from them

The usability is very solid for my workflow since I usually opt to just as a PitchBook support representative. The user interface can be a little complicated if you are simply trying to search by yourself. This is something I may just not be as good at yet, but their are many different ways to filter which makes it seems jumbled.

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

Really well - though I think Beauhurst has the edge on UK specific investments, and Bloomberg has the edge on immediate updates. I think PitchBook is better than fDi Markets though, I would definitely recommend purchasing a PitchBook license over fDi Markets - but in a policy area that isn’t considering international investment, I might go with Beauhurst.

• It has allowed us to be more targeted in our sales campaigns.
• Great headhunting and market mapping data.
• We have been in a very difficult hiring market so it hasn't given me the ROI I would have hoped, but that isn't PitchBook's fault!
