FactSet Workstation vs. VerityRMS

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

I highly rate performance of this product in research and flow of funds. The integration process with the rest of applications saving time and additional cost. It offers reliable insights that gives my team enough confidence in getting the end product. It has modified the data visualization system to enhance transparency and accountability from employees. The customer support service team responds faster when we raise any concerns.

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

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.

My reasearch and discoveries have placed this software in high ranking in this category since I started working with it. It has all the tools for processing and transforming data into useful business analytics. The built-in market data provides high-speed research portfolio for all the members increasing productivity and service delivery. It can be customized easily to meet the company data demands and build reliable channels.

• 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%.

• We have achieved positive Return on Investment.
• The financial and research goals have been achieved.
