    A large part of our work depends on the ability to source quality media content from a breadth of dependable sources globally. This is Factiva's bread and butter: it has a very comprehensive list of 'quality' media sources such as nationals, dailies, business journals and magazines from around the world that are easily mined for the content they hold. If you're thinking about anything other than these 'traditional' media sources then Factiva probably isn't your thing. It doesn't do social media.

    To run more visual, analytical models, it is great. Leave the statistics to your other programs.

    Pros
    Dow Jones
    • Factiva offers excellent search builders so that I am able to narrow my search to specific companies or topics very easily.
    • Factiva combines a large number of credible sources into one place and allows me to search all of these sources.
    • Factiva's use of timestamps helps me understand when the news was known by the market which allows me to analyze how (if at all) that particular piece of news impacted the company's stock price.
    • Provides an excellent starting place for learning about a company and/or industry.

    • It has been great for configuring and representing data trends for our own company as well as our clients.
    • It is very helpful for viewing and understanding trends within our own datasets without being too overwhelming
    • The user interface is very streamlined and doesn't take too long to learn so there isn't a lot of time wasted.

    • Cost is a little much for something we could do in house, given, it would take us much longer
    • Would be better to be more compatible with other analytical software
    • Could improve on code editing capabilities

    Alternatives Considered
    Dow Jones
    At the time, Factiva was already being used by the company I worked for - they had developed procedures specifically for using Factiva, so there wasn't really an option. I've used Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg exclusively for legal research, so there wasn't really an overlap with Factiva.

    They have minor similarities, so they are not easily comparable. Keen is one of a kind and does not have a great alternative. It just needs a little work and developers will be addicted to it.
