    FactSet works for all my IR needs. I do not see a function for which I use it for that it would be less appropriate. I believe that the tool's efforts towards becoming more integrated with AI are strong and that in time the Mercury offering will be just as competitive as some of the other AI offerings out there today such as AlphaSense

    It is well-suited for providing information about what cash is available and its future outlook of it. It helped us to link the multiple bank accounts that we have globally into one consolidated location. We were then able to ensure that we had the cash required to meet the various business needs that we have.

    • Reporting automates bank balance view(s) by sending daily email recipients.
    • [It] includes the GL account coding on the funding templates to automate the posting of JEs for that transaction.
    • [It] synergizes bank transactions via a single portal rather than multiple logins for multiple bank platforms.

    Cons
    FactSet
    • The user interface on stock monitor needs work - sometimes I wish to clone the same fields to another tab/watchlist and it appears the best way to do so is recreate it form scratch
    • transcript to be more timely and more accurate
    • on the consensus financial forecast tab, have more segment breakouts like Visible Alpha

    • [In my opinion, the] reporting functions are not user-friendly and [are] very confusing.
    • [I also believe that the] financial accounting module is also not user-friendly.
    • Operator security - [In my opinion,] the admin is confusing to set up new groups. Some languages in there were either no longer valid or changed. [Also, I believe that you] cannot disable users unless you move them to disable group. [I feel like it's] a bit weird.
    • Customer service support - [I feel it has] gotten better but [I, personally,] hope to see more improvement and timely responses.
    • [I believe] the location of certain functions is confusing as well. [In my experience,] I usually have to go to [the] search bar to search for what I am looking for.
    • FBAR - [I feel this is] also a bit confusing and hard to find. [In my case,] I had to ask where it is located, and [it was] definitely not where I would have expected it to [be]. I would assume it would be under reporting, but it was under [the] library and then maintenance or something.

    We need the FactSet data and capabilities to complete 75% of the financial analyses that we complete for both internal and external purposes. It is invaluable and I am not aware of any other provider that would be able to fill this gap that FactSet does

    [I feel] it's too hard to use and navigate around [and] very difficult to manage/administer. We may keep it because [I feel] we [have] already gone through the pain point and don't want to risk going through that again. Unfortunately, if we keep it, [I believe] it's not because we love it.

    Usability
    FactSet
    It does everything I need. It is pretty user friendly and easy to work with whatever technology interface I am using (desk top, notebook, tablet, or mobile phone). I am able to get work done whether I am in the office, at home, or traveling. The user up time is very good. They are rarely doing maintenance when I need to use the platform

    Good overall usability for what we have needed. We have not delved into any recent upgrades in modules, so there could be better functionality within the system today that we are not currently leveraging. We plan on doing a refresh in 2022 to see where we might be able to take advantage of the recent offerings within the modules we use today.

    Day-to-day support is very quick and responsive. However, if you need to go the second level it might take longer and you lose the visibility.

    Weekly meetings and updates a plus Set realistic timeline expectations Have a good project manager Make sure everyone is following the same time line and dependencies list Keep track of a future state or out of scope list You may need to change the scope and do a project request form change, that's OK if you determine a key function has been missed Don't be afraid to extend the timeline to make sure through testing has been done prior to going live Document set up decisions, how reports and worksheets work, and why certain user codes are or are not in the positioning reports.

    Product is magnitudes more affordable and provides 80% of the functionality that Bloomberg has and is working to build out the remaining. The workstation is more user friendly than bloomberg but still not perfect. Not as robust as a Bloomberg Terminal and doesn't have the chat/trading features.

    Simple and far more user-friendly than most other TMS applications I have used in the past. Very strong core TMS foundation and functionality. Addressing some of the known issues and shortfalls would go a long way in taking a much bigger market share from some of the other main players in the TMS space. GTreasury was also very competitive on price and cost-effective.

    Return on Investment
    FactSet
    • hard to quantify, bc i havent brought any new business bc of it, so the ROI would be 0%. I use other systems for proposals.
    • However, I use it for everyday work and equity/fi analysis and portfolio construction research at ticker level, and that part works 100%.

    • Very positive ROI allowing us to take our daily cash target down to 1% of total admitted Assts. Prior to GTreasury we were running close to 20%.
    • Reduced bank service cost initially by $300,000+ and annually a minimum of $50,000.
    • Allowed us to maintain and streamline Treasury Staff FTE level, with the ability to train other areas for self service payment research, so the Treasury Analyst can focus on value added analysis tasks.
