FactSet Workstation vs. Shrimpy

Well suited to setting up watchlists of securities that you want to monitor as well as displaying organization specific information within the watchlist such as ‘target price’ and ‘recommendation’ which is very useful when managing portfolios. Also well suited to delivering tailored company and economic news articles to your workstation so that you get targeted information relevant to your role

Shrimpy is a good visual aid but it lacks some key features, such as a mobile app.

Incentivized

• Easy/clear UI for navigation
• Easily find and sort through financial filings to get to the data
• Document search functionality seems to be improving consistently with more robust features

Incentivized

• Connects accounts.
• Automate trading however i don't use this currently.
• Copy trades etc.

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• No financial security.
• No mobile app (yet).

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

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

Incentivized

I think the data delivery could be improved, but it's a good data set.

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.

Shrimpy is simpler to use, and the portfolio rebalancing to adjust to market movements is its best asset. This was used for stocks and shares prior and works in a similar way with crypto. Not sure as to the long-term gains this will provide but the theory stacks up.

• 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%.

Incentivized

• Crypto has taken a hit so ROI is negative at the moment but it will go back up.
