- Useful patent class detection wizard,

- Availability of analysis tool,

- Company tree service is useful,

What do you dislike about PatBase?

- There are a lot of features but they are scattered in the menus, it would be better if they had a simpler interface, it takes weeks to learn, so the staff cannot start using it right away,

- Analysis service gives very superficial information. Just doing an analysis over classes

- Insufficient keyword analysis, not useful in landscape analysis

- Insufficient analysis tools to detect empty technical areas

- It would be nice to have an analysis tool for FTO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
