    We also tried Foundernest (tried to include it in the list above but looks like it's not on TR's database). PitchBook has a better database and seach features, but Foundernest is AI tool to find similar companies and solutions that can be very useful and much more time …

    Certain regards, such as comprehensiveness and ability to store and export searches and data related to searches PitchBook performs better than the above and remains our go to tool. However we also use DealRoom to supplement some of that data to ensure comprehensiveness and …

    PitchBook does a good job at listing and organizing all the data needed right up front. No hidden tabs or things for me to dive deeper on. Very simple to use. I think PitchBook market maps are not as good as CB Insights.

    PitchBook excels at private company data and has significantly improved its coverage of investors and funds. It is generally more easy to navigate and information is updated frequently. It is not nearly as strong with public, credit or market data including access to news and …

    The strength of Pitchbook is its consistency. While many of the competitors do one aspect better than Pitchbook, Pitchbook does each aspect I am looking for well. In other words, while Pitchbook might not be the #1 in a specific category, they are always at least #2 so that …

    • Preqin has up to date and largely reliable fund performance information. The information like this on PitchBook is unusuable. I don't trust it in the slightest. If more sources were offered I might consider taking a closer look at it. • CapIQ is the home base for all public …

    PitchBook has the most accurate and complete data. CB Insights platform loads slightly more quickly and is a little more intuitive, but lacks data integrity. Tracxn is not easy to use, but offers some data on a lot of international and small, non-VC or PE-backed companies. …

    PitchBook is by far the more reliable source for non public companies. This helps a lot in the entrepreneurial and Venture Capital space.

    PitchBook is one of the best. More usable than Bloomberg Terminal though it has less information. It is similar to Crunchbase. CB Insights and AngelList have more lists of prominent companies in a field/specific search space.
