However, despite its rich content and functionality, Factiva can be challenging to navigate. The user interface is not very intuitive, and new users often face a steep learning curve. Basic tasks like setting up search alerts or refining queries can feel cumbersome, especially when compared to more modern, streamlined platforms. While it excels in depth and breadth of content, Factiva could greatly benefit from a more user-friendly design and improved usability features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
