It helps me in managing my Canadian portfolio which includes stock-specific investments and ETFs as well. They charge no commission or very little commission on some specific trade.
Customizable to display information the way I want to see it.
Clean, straightforward interface to let me quickly access information from cursory overview to detailed tax information.
Equipped with good security measures.
Very user friendly.

Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.
I have used WealthSimple before, and I can say that Questrade is just a bit more intuitive for me. It's catered for beginners, but also has additional features for those who are a bit more advanced. Questrade is a flexible platform that allows you to create and track various types of portfolios, create and track various types of strategies, etc. By far the superior choice in my opinion.
