PitchBook Reviews & Product Details

Lately, I’ve really liked how PitchBook’s advanced filters make it easy to narrow down deals and investor activity by sector, size, or region. The visual dashboards are also super helpful for spotting patterns quickly. Plus, the Excel plug-in has made data handling way smoother and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately, I’ve felt that PitchBook could be better with real-time updates—some info feels a bit delayed, especially in fast-moving spaces. The platform’s also packed with features, but the layout can get a little overwhelming at times. It’d be nice if there were more quick summaries or context around the data to make things easier to digest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The M&A transaction data provided by PitchBook is beyond compare to that which is truly needed by our corporate development team. We have been able to follow individual asset sales and also see the reasons behind complicated carve outs, which aids in us forming better comps. The subsequent search filters also allow us to identify niche technology companies much focused on our strategic diversification criteria very quickly saving us several days of manual market mapping.

There are times where the fine-grained financial measurements of the private held target, and particularly those below a certain revenue level, are less solid than we would desire and we should look elsewhere to obtain additional information. In addition, the alert system may provide even more customized choices of highly specific types of related M&A events than just broad based deals announcements.

PitchBook provides an incredibly comprehensive database of private and public company information, including financials, deal history, and market activity. The platform’s advanced search filters make it easy to narrow down to highly specific criteria, and the integration of news, research reports, and contact data streamlines the process of building target lists or conducting due diligence. The interface is intuitive, and the export functions (especially to Excel) save a huge amount of time when compiling reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the depth of information is impressive, certain niche or smaller companies can have limited or outdated data, meaning supplemental research is sometimes still required. The platform can also feel slow or unresponsive when running very broad searches, and some datasets, such as industry comparables, could benefit from more standardisation to improve consistency. Additionally, given the breadth of features, there is a bit of a learning curve for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The data provided is consistently updated, easy to understand, and presented in a clear, accessible manner. I find that spending just a few minutes on Pitchbook gives me more valuable insights than sifting through press releases and numerous company documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's possible to customize the newsletters that are sent to my email, I have yet to come across content that truly fits my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how PitchBook helps me gain insights into public and private credit markets. The web-based platform simplifies setup and usage, with helpful customer support. The company and deal screener is a powerful tool, allowing me to filter results by sector and receive alerts on new deals. I value the emailed daily reports for understanding major deals and market trends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not believe they have a lot of financial data on private credit markets, and that would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I was using using PitchBook for the purposes of scanning the general market and keeping up with companies, it was very helpful to be able to set notifications for specific companies / industries, as well as see the information about a particular company in one place.

I found that it was tricky to export information in a usable format which was not just a link to the page itself (which would require login / having an account). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The broad access to sell-side research is incredible and unparalleled. PitchBook is a very comprehensive platform that gives me fast and accurate access to company and investment analyst reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think PitchBook is very aware of who its core customer is and what their value is to them, so I wouldn't expect a pricing change, but it's expensive for a company of out size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the information you need about startup companies, including overview, history, contacts, fundraising history, founders, etc., in a compact format.　It's a great feature that you receive update notifications when new startups are registered or when fundraising takes place.

It is troublesome to enter an authentication code every time you log in. It would be better not to have it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
