Evalueserve Researchstream vs. Innovation Cloud

Evalueserve Researchstream is very helpful for creating presentation slides that require a lot of time to create but where all of the necessary data and information for the slide can be found on the internet. The service is also very helpful for industry research that requires consulting many different sources and compiling and synthesizing the information. Evalueserve Researchstream is much less appropriate for creating any materials that require confidential information to be shared as the team is not under an NDA and thus cannot be made privy to such information.

• The final product sent to me was, at times, lacking enough detail or appeared hastily done.
• The databases and information platforms the Evalueserve Researchstream team has access to are limited, which limited the scope of what I could request and diminished the usefulness of what was sent to me.
• The Evalueserve Researchstream portal is not the most intuitive or easy to use. If I had not received a tutorial by an Evalueserve Researchstream team member, I would have struggled to understand how to properly uses the services offered by the Company.

• More openness

My company ran a trial with Evalueserve Researchstream. During that trial, those at my company, including myself, used Evalueserve's services and were pleased with the product and helpfulness of their team. We also knew Evalueserve Researchstream had a record of helping similar, quality firms in the areas we wanted to use Evalueserve Researchstream for. So, my company moved forward with Evalueserve Researchstream, particularly in light of the fact my company did not find any other direct competitors offering the specific services it needed Evalueserve Researchstream for. My company, however, does use other services, including, but not limited to, Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon, for research, insights, and analysis to supplement Evalueserve Researchstream.
