"Essential Tool for Private Equity Insights"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

I appreciate the vast amount of data that PitchBook offers, which is incredibly valuable for staying updated on private equity transactions and prospecting new accounts. The platform serves as a comprehensive resource, allowing me to view all upcoming and current private equity leveraged buyouts (LBOs) and new financings. This vast data repository aids me in understanding how potential clients might perceive the software I am selling. Additionally, PitchBook provides insightful financial information about companies, which not only enhances my market knowledge but also helps me evaluate the strength of potential employers. The seamless integration with my CRM allows me to easily create and assign myself accounts, streamlining my workflow. Overall, these features collectively boost my productivity and offer strategic insights into market dynamics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

Sometimes the Salesforce integration is messed up, and not all transactions are up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Zavisubin of PitchBook

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Henri. We are pleased to hear that PitchBook is a valuable part of your workflow and the integration with your CRM has been seamless. Thank you for being a PitchBook customer!

"Comprehensive Data with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

I like to understand funding history for private assets using PitchBook. I also appreciate the data export capabilities along with the breadth of private information available. It's an excellent screening resource. The data it offers is quite extensive and I'm always surprised at the information it's able to generate and the detail it has on some of the smaller venture-backed assets. It's great in the venture space. I appreciate how I can sort and filter companies to have a really good lay of the land on the number of assets in the space, what their financing background looks like, revenue / EBITDA estimates, etc. Having the ability to gather this information so easily and then being able to manipulate it outside of the PitchBook platform is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

The Excel plugin is buggy, making it practically unusable compared to CapIQ. The data is much more difficult to audit. I wouldn't recommend using PitchBook as a replacement for CapIQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Zavisubin of PitchBook

Hello Parker,

Thank you for the thorough review of PitchBook. Your feedback on the Excel plugin is helpful. We are glad to hear you are finding value in the platform as well.

"Great Startup Database with Rich Insights and Useful Peer Comparisons"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

It's intuitive and easy to use. The database is great: the number of companies in it (especially startups) and all the surrounding information—main investors, and pretty much everything else you’d want to know. I also find the peer comparison very useful. Cutomer support is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

Sometimes I find the market maps a bit generic. They’re great overall, but there are times when they don’t fit my needs perfectly (which is expected, obviously). I couldn't integrate well some features due to some limitations from my IT department Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Zavisubin of PitchBook

Thank you for the detailed review! We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the platform.

"Streamlined Lead Sourcing with AI Precision"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

I find the AI feature in PitchBook super helpful because it saves time. I like that the information is gathered from sourced reports. I can just ask for similar accounts in a region who've received funding since a specific date, and they show me several companies to reach out to, along with exact links to the source of the info. The initial setup was really easy, just needed a login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

I’d say more mobile numbers would be better. I’m not sure, increasing and updating data more often for stakeholders in the accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Zavisubin of PitchBook

Thank you for the review, Sirmena! We are glad to hear the new Navigator function is saving you time. Thank you for being a PitchBook customer!

It covers a wide range of data and business topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

This market sizing platform isn’t very easy to segment or manage, which makes it harder to work with when I need to organize data or break things down into specific groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the review, Emma! We are pleased to hear that you are finding value in the platform.

"Pricey but necessary tool for M&A - that keeps improving"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

The built in AI tool is a gamechanger, being able to mine pitchbook data combined with public data on one screen is immensely powerful. I also like the Meeting Intel feature, it helps get me up to speed as I'm walking into my meetings with great information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

I wish I was able to afford more seats on pitchbook, more people using the tool would greatly help us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vast Database, Seamless Setup, But Pricey Export"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

I appreciate the large database of contacts and private equity firms in PitchBook. It's helpful to have access to this information and team members to do my job. The initial setup was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

I would prefer an easier data export out of PitchBook and into my CRM, for less money than PitchBook likes to charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unprecedented Access with Comprehensive Market Data"
What do you like best about PitchBook?

What I like the most about PitchBook is the comprehensive reports on market data. The amount of data you can find on companies and the way all the information is categorized makes it really easy to access and use. The initial setup was really easy, especially because the sales customer team helped us throughout the process, which made it really fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PitchBook?

I think what could be improved by populating the people that participate in the company beyond the executive C suite profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Josh Zavisubin of PitchBook
