Best in class tool to source financial data from public companies. Great integration with Excel. Must-have tool for anyone performing financial analysis on a regular basis. Easy to use interface with excellent product support to answer questions about functionality and capabilities. Tool has continued to grow in features over the years and expect to continue in the future.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Sector reports could be better e.g. competitors like CB Insights do a better job at it.
  • Pricing is a bit steep, when compared to peers like Dealroom.
  • Credibility of the data is a question mark (CB Insights has way more traction with investors).

S&P CIQ Pro has great data, however, the new pro version is currently difficult to use given how slow the data is to process

Alternatives Considered
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.

Tracxn lacks the comprehensiveness of a CBInsights but makes up for some of it by keeping a much lower price. However, it is still more expensive compared to some of the other similar databases in the marketplace (e.g. Crunchbase, DealRoom). Hence, it needs to work on its pricing or improve in certain areas (e.g. sector reports) to justify that price.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
