I love the all-in-one design. This was crucial for me after working at a large B/D with an in-house all-in-one system. Everything in one spot with one look made the transition much smoother for me and transitioning clients.

Combining portfolio research, design, reporting, accounting, billing, and rebalancing yields exceptional data integrity and seamless functionality. Advisor-facing research, reporting, and risk assessments, including simulations, are much better than I had before. Clients love the simple yet comprehensive reports with my own branding.

While generally the product functions admirably, the UI can be confounding or baffling on occasion.

It's really easy to use. Inputting data in tales some time, but the reports are beautiful, and more importantly, helpful when meeting with clients. They're also very informative and easy to read. Most clients are able to answer their own questions about the activity of the investments in their accounts. Morningstar has essentially helped us build and maintain our business.

Manually entering data isn't fun. I wish integration with Wealthscape becomes a reality. My coworkers and I have to manually enter the values of each investment from each of our clients' accounts into Morningstar and it takes. One of the assistants was assigned to get a few dozen reports done on the week of Christmas (which I had off) and I ended up staying up until 2 AM to do it before client meetings because he didn't get any of it done. It would have been easier if Morningstar was integrated with Wealthscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
