Chose CB Insights
Pitchbook has better cap table data for tracking investors.
Chose CB Insights
Pitch book was our favorite resource, until we started using CB Insights. CB Insights just has far better coverage and include very extensive private company intelligence too which adds a level of customer insight accuracy that no one else can.
Chose CB Insights
Traditional research services by market and product just can't keep up anymore, in my opinion. We had to seek out who could, and our choice of CB Insights two years ago has proven to be one of the smartest choices we've ever made.

Chose Covercy
2 other platforms. I would say that it is the personal care, [...] and [...] and attention that tips it to Covercy.
Chose Covercy
Juniper Square is the No. 1 option for institutional developers and investors. Since we don't have hundreds of millions of dollars in AUM, we chose Covercy since it was largely the same and more affordable.
Chose Covercy
We've only used one other portal. There are features that I liked about the other platform. Most of which, I've already stated. Investors can add their own profile information. Being able to send emails with attachments. Covercy has better customer service. Your doc signing is …
Chose Covercy
I think Covercy is easier to use and more engaging tech for investors than Juniper Square.
Chose Covercy
Covercy is much more user-friendly than Juniper Square.
Chose Covercy
We have utilized Syndication Pro and it is a night and day difference between the two. The most noticeable is the investor portal where the ease of use and the information that is readily accessible to the investor makes it a much better overall user experience. This alone was …
Chose Covercy
We selected Covercy for the price mainly.
Chose Covercy
Most of them provide similar functions, but for me it was a matter of simplicity and cost. Covercy makes the most sense for our team and for our investors. The lighter our spend, the lighter our fees can be.
Chose Covercy
Covercy was better suited for our needs. More customizable solutions and a more intuitive platform. AppFolio is our PM software and even despite this (at a similar price point) we chose Covercy.
Chose Covercy
Covercy is cheaper and the functionality is on par, if not better than Juniper Square.
Chose Covercy
Covery seemed to have the lowest administrative fees and is one of the only companies that allows transfers originating in Israel to western countries.
Chose Covercy
I believe that Covercy is the only solution that is currently allowing Real Estate firms to distribute funds to their investors directly through the platform. Also, both other solutions are pretty expensive compared to the reasonable pricing that Covercy has in place (function …
Chose Covercy
I don't remember the names of the other products we looked at, but Covercy was much more cost-effective than the other 3-4 products we demoed and offered a more holistic service.

Transparency - we were reading a lot of hype about Bitcoin, and it was in every market sector. Those of us who remember 2001, were alarmed. But digging through to find the truth was a challenge. CB Insights provided regular, extensive data every week, more often at the peak. We are certain our own analysis was correct based on that and stopped worrying that we might have missed a market opportunity.

Covercy has been the ultimate Investor Portal that we have utilized as an organization thus far. From the outstanding customer service that we continue to see, to the ease of use that the software provides both for our investors and us on the back end make it a no-brainer for continuing to partner together.

Covercy's customer service team has been responsive when we call-in asking about features that were not present at the on-boarding stage. They appreciated our feedback and made improvements to the portal that were helpful to our investors. We had a client service rep that we could call and was responsive.

We've only used one other portal. There are features that I liked about the other platform. Most of which, I've already stated. Investors can add their own profile information. Being able to send emails with attachments. Covercy has better customer service. Your doc signing is better and works all the time vs the other, not working most of the time. The other platform had more sender fields available, which was a better investor experience

Return on Investment
  • Positive in both volume and detail of the most relevant information upon which to make key strategic decisions.
  • It's not an inexpensive service, but worth the price given the accuracy, timeliness and criticality of the information they are able to provide.
  • Strategy - strategy - strategy! There's no way anyone could gather that much intelligence in just one stop with any other service.

  • The ROI I can provide is for time management. It saves us at least 2 days' worth of work each quarter on capital distributions alone, and at least 30 minutes on each report distribution. Not to mention the amount of time it saves us on fielding client questions regarding their capital because they can just log in and see everything on their portal.
