User Testimonials
	Factiva	Windfall
Likelihood to Recommend	Dow Jones 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.

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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. No answers on this topic
Cons	Dow Jones The UX leaves room to be desired There are often repetitive entries The functionality can be confusing Incentivized Jacob Batchelor Reporter Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. In my experience, horrible customer service Hidden renewal clause Andrew Dalton Executive Director Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Windfall Data, Inc. We were recommended Windfall by our fundraising counsel. I have since informed this person that he should not recommend the company to other clients Andrew Dalton Executive Director Read full review
