Considered Both Products	Factiva Jeremy Cowles Senior Strategist Chose Factiva Each of the tools I have described share the same kind of premise: the main thing they do is source and collect media content.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Factiva I have used Lexis Nexus and Thomson One. I find Factiva to be the most user friendly of these services. I much prefer Factiva's layout on their website when I search for articles and I also prefer its search builder over Lexis Nexus and Thomson One. Incentivized Helpful? Jacob Batchelor Reporter Chose Factiva I often used Twitter as an alternative to Factiva. Additionally, I used a number of link-gathering resources such as Google alerts. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Factiva At the time, Factiva was already being used by the company I worked for - they had developed procedures specifically for using Factiva, so there wasn't really an option. I've used Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg exclusively for legal research, so there wasn't really an overlap … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Factiva	Koyfin
Likelihood to Recommend	Factiva is particularly useful when I work on securities litigations involving shareholder lawsuits -- i.e. shareholders who bought and sold shares during a specified class period when the company was misrepresenting, for example, its financials. Specifically Factiva is quite useful in helping me understand what company events were known by the market and when they were known. Factiva has also been useful in helping me on various research studies. It is less relevant for other types of litigation that I work on (i.e. Patent litigation, etc).

Well suited for all investors. Incentivized Erin Easterberg Credit & Accounts Receivable Manager Read full review
Pros	Putting broad swaths of news in one place Organizing information Constant updates Incentivized Jacob Batchelor Reporter Read full review	Graphs that are simple but detailed Helpful watchlists to keep you aware and prompt Snapshots for quick checkins Incentivized Erin Easterberg Credit & Accounts Receivable Manager Read full review
Cons	Lengthy setup for searches Repeated articles appear frequently Unannounced interface changes were unpleasant surprises Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Easier to review statements Lower prices for more premium packages Monthly should be weekly trend emails Incentivized Erin Easterberg Credit & Accounts Receivable Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Each of the tools I have described share the same kind of premise: the main thing they do is source and collect media content. Then to varying degrees they run filters against this content and produce a range of data visualisations and ways of slicing the data and content. Factiva's strength lies more in the sourcing of content than in the manipulation of the results (much like the others do with more sophisticated dashboards and visual interpretations). We chose it because of the integrity of its sourcing breadth. It doesn't matter so much about the display of results because the source material you're working with isn't as dynamic as say social media.
