I think Eikon is a close substitute. It doesn't have as many features as S&P Capital IQ, but unless you're working for a bank, hedge fund, or in corporate treasury, you probably won't notice it.

In my opinion, FactSet is another good alternative. It comes with more features …

Chose S&P Capital IQ
It's ease of use and customer support is superior to anything that is in the market. It also seems a lot more accurate than the other tools I have used.
Chose S&P Capital IQ
We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you …
Chose S&P Capital IQ
They provide very detailed information, that is industry specific. You cannot find a better provider for bank website data than SNL. The ease of customization on the website program is unparalleled.

Cons
  • When used in Chrome, it affect all tabs and reload it, which increases data downloaded with tool on, and will impact on costs.
  • Some features are useless to developers, like clean cookies and set device type, they should have different versions for professionals and regular users.

  • Sources. In Bloomberg, when you click on a figure anywhere it leads you to the source. That is a great feature, as in finance everything has to be backed with the original source.
  • Cannot always find the needed information, the menu is too complex.

While Bloomberg has a much more comprehensive view of the markets and typically has more up-to-date information in terms of overall news, Cap IQ is easier to integrate into existing financial models, and the formula builder included with the Excel plugin makes it easy to pull relevant financial data as well as update it based on a specific time frame.

  • The breadth and depth of the company's financial data set are what sets it apart as the finest in the industry.
  • Having the ability to pay the monthly fee online is a major benefit. Neither is it very high, but I wouldn't characterize it as low, either. It's quite economical.
  • Data quality and accuracy are what set it apart from competitors.
