CK Courtney K. Research Analyst Market Research Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/10/2015 "great customer service and easy to use" 4/5 What do you like best about S&P Capital IQ Pro? I use Cap IQ regularly for work, and we have had representatives come in to our company to offer training sessions. These have always been extremely informative, the representatives not only answered all the questions we had, but also anticipated additional uses for Cap IQ in our business. I also like how responsive the representatives on the live chat are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? Some features of cap IQ are not the most user friendly, such as creating watch lists, which takes many different steps and is often hard to remember. However, with the live chat I am usually able to get any issues I have with this resolved quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is S&P Capital IQ Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? We use capital IQ to research companies and industries, and it is very helpful for this purpose.

Love the detailed information made available at your fingertips through the web portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? Mobile experience is not fantastic. Also, more detailed information on private capital transactions such as those available on VentureSource would be helpful to build out. Great public company information but the details on private company transactions is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Associate Investment Banking Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/19/2014 "Capital IQ is a great source of knowledge." 3/5 What do you like best about S&P Capital IQ Pro? I like the ability to quickly login to capital IQ and find exactly what im looking for. They have stock quotes, charts, and all the information i need when researching a stock. I also like, that when they can't help me with something i need, they give me an explanation as to why they cannot help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? Sometimes when calling for support, the support guy on the phone will be very short with me and try to answer my problem as quick as possible. The mobile site also needs some work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MP Michael P. Financial Analyst Investment Banking Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/6/2014 "Capital IQ has helped me out tremendously when valuating companies." 4.5/5 What do you like best about S&P Capital IQ Pro? I like the ability to reference real time data in excel spread sheets. The ability to simply refresh my comp sets and receive data for multiple data points makes for a speedy and efficient day in the office. I also use the charting features a lot for pitch books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? I think the most frustrating thing about Capital IQ is how long it takes to learn the interface. It took me a solid month to be able to navigate myself through the website. Nine months later and I still feel like I only know a third of what the site can do. I’m not sure if Cap IQ offers seminars, but I think it’s something that would be very valuable to new users. I would even like to partake in one now to grasp a better knowledge of the full potential of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is S&P Capital IQ Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? I am currently working on US comps for sports beverage companies within the United States.

Capital IQ is a must-have for any analyst in finance, whether he/she works in valuation, underwriting, or even wealth management. Being able to pull statements and data in a streamlined fashion saves endless hours of time vs. going through all the inconsistencies from company to company. Folks in valuation and underwriting may be the most obvious users, but even in wealth management, it's a critical tool for both prospectnig and analytical purposes. The executive data (demographic and compensation) pulled from Capital IQ is absolutely necessary to help target and service c-level clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? I may not be up to speed on every "plug in" or nuance available on Capital IQ, but I'd say the two things that stick as areas for improvement are integration to other tools and more proactive/direct customer service support. Regarding the ladder, compatibility with Bloomberg terminals and other vendors, like Wealth Engine, would be key for folks in my business line. There are so many great tools out there, but I often find that the number one deterrent for advisors and analysts that I work with is having to train on and utilize separate tools. There just isn't enough time in the day to compartmentalize energy into super specifc tools. Especially within the financial services community, most folks are familiar and accustomed to the high level of service that vendors like Bloomberg and FactSet offer...while Capital IQ reps are helpful ad high quality...the depth, frequencey, and proactiveness falls well short of the aforementioned vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is S&P Capital IQ Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? Prospecting c-level executives, preparing analysis on executive compensation/options (10b5-1 plans, options strategies). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Researcher Law Practice Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/12/2014 "Capital IQ -- great product and knowledgeable support team" 5/5 What do you like best about S&P Capital IQ Pro? The Cap IQ team is able to answer any question I throw at them. Most of t he time the answer is to tell me how to use their system to get the data, but once in a rare while it is to tell me that their system can't help me with my query. As much as I appreciate the way they help me (and they do!), when they can't help they explain why they cannot quite get you to the finish line, by walking you through the problem of an elusive data point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? Once in a rare while a support person will go a little fast or assume I'm keeping up with them and I have to slow them down or keep asking them to repeat the steps. This is extremely rare though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering S&P Capital IQ Pro: Rely on Customer Support -- they're wonderful and it's part of your contract. Save templates, screens, and company lists across your organization; seeing how other, more experienced users have completed projects will speed up your own learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is S&P Capital IQ Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Cap IQ to create league tables, search for M&A activity by a specific company or in a specific sector, search SEC filings for older documents that have been incorporated by reference, etc. Having this data allows colleagues to prepare presentations to potential clients, something necessary to keep growing the business successfully.

It's fast and reliable. I can quickly login and get information i need in a matter of seconds. As compared to other products like factset, capIQ can be pulled up / logged in very quickly since it only uses a web browser, vs. the need to download a console. CapIQ has almost everything I need - current stock prices, precedent transactions, board / mgmt members, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about S&P Capital IQ Pro? If i had to complain, the mobile site isn't that great yet. Sometimes I'm out at a meeting and I need to look up info on capIQ. It would be great if they can either create an app that is easier to use, or make sure their mobile site has most of the the important information easily accessible. I remember trying to look up a particular previous M&A deal and not all the info on the full site were there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering S&P Capital IQ Pro: Most of the services (CapIQ, Factset, Thomson) offer similar information, but CapIQ to me is the easiest to use and fastest product to load, which is a very important differentiation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is S&P Capital IQ Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? i work in banking, so i use it for a lot of precedents look-up. The screening functionality is great... if we wanted to look up certain companies or transactions that fit a criteria, CapIQ has all the categories I feel are most important in order to filter such a screen.
