Overall Satisfaction with PitchBook

We use PitchBook to research potential prospects, their financial performance, key contact people, industry, key metrics, peer groups, etc to make decisions of whether to reach out and approach them with our banking services. We also stay close to our top prospects, so PitchBook is my go-to database to research what new developments have taken place with our prospect list.

Pros

  • Key Contact People's emails
  • Company Overview
  • Financial Performance
  • Peer Group/ Competitors

Cons

  • Whenever there is a company that is missing on the database, I suggest PitchBook have a function for users to input some info into PitchBook and request further details on such companies.
  • Time savings: Instead of browsing multiple websites for info on a company, my team and I can visit PitchBook as a one-stop shop for company information.
  • Workflow improvements: We established the process of utilizing PitchBook to follow our top prospects and improve our outreach efforts. Staying up-to-date on new developments of our clients and prospects helps us know where to allocate most of our efforts on.
I received very quick service whenever I have a technical difficulty.
The quality of data is quite good for public companies but have room for improvement on private companies. It would be helpful to get more news, data, and contact info on private companies. Latest M&A information, financial performance, or comparison among the peer groups would be very helpful in making execution decisions.
The website is easy to navigate. I can quickly search a company and go through the page for the company overview, financial performance, relevant reports, key metrics, contact information, related news and events, peer group info. I can quickly generate a report that summarized my findings as well and easily attach it to an email to share with a colleague.
