PitchBook

Good but pricey product

Kommentare: This software helps me understand various sectors as a corporate development professional. While expensive, it has proved very useful for my team.

Vorteile:

I like the ability to create reports for specific industries and save them. I also like that the software will suggest competitors automatically.

Nachteile:

The price is quite steep compared to other similar platforms. Also the funding data sometimes seems to be out of date. Pitchbook works with insider contacts to get this data, so I'm wondering if their network of contacts has recently declined.

Pitchbook has so many good options!

Kommentare: Overall PitchBook is an awesome software to work with!

Vorteile:

I would say for me the best part about PitchBook is definitely the Excel and PowerPoint plugins!!

Nachteile:

The only thing that would need improving is better Customer Service. But that still wasn't really even worth complaining about!

Great User Interface, but Lacks Accuracy With Public Market Data

Vorteile:

It truly is a one-stop shop for all things needed in industry research for investment banking

Nachteile:

The public market data is spotty at best

Quick Informative Resource

Vorteile:

It’s a quick way to find pertinent information about a company’s legitimacy, investors, acquisitions, patents, and sometimes their competition.

Nachteile:

PitchBook doesn’t always have the same info available for every company.

Pitchbook Review

Vorteile:

Easy to use and navigate. Information presented clearly.

Nachteile:

Not always up-to-date, I noticed some discrepancies sometimes

Excellent source for identifying rising stars and emerging sectors

Kommentare: one word: Excellent. that applies to content as well as customer service

Vorteile:

Pitchbook is the perfect data source for identifying potential targets, especially startups and rising stars. it has over 3.3 million companies. It is also one of the best source for M&A deals and funding. The database is very intuitive to use as it the layout is clean and easy to navigate. the screening criteria are very well thought through and therefore make it easy to narrow down search. it's also very easy to download the data into many formats including Excel and PDF. In addition to company financials, the Market Analysis section is packed with vertical/sector news, trends as well as market sizing. they source their data from a variety of reputable sources. The focus on emerging topics and sectors is very good. You can also set up alerts to follow your preferred list of companies and verticals.

Nachteile:

It would be ideal if the market reports are also linked to a company search, so when I search for a company, I can also see which reports it was mentioned in

Easy to use for company research

Kommentare: Overall I recommend the product. We always teach our new employees how to use the program, as its used daily at our firm.

Vorteile:

Love how user friendly the web platform is and that I can easily pull both public and private company information. I use it for daily market research!

Nachteile:

I feel like the excel plug in can be difficult to work, especially with trying to find the correct formulas.

Great private markets data

Vorteile:

Search is great, deal data is very thoughtfully arranged and makes reviewing company performance very intuitive.

Nachteile:

Expensive. But if cost is less important than time and data completeness, it's a fantastic platform.

No privacy concern

Kommentare: Not happy at all. Have some decency and respect when someone does not want their information on your useless website.

Vorteile:

I did not like anything about the software. 30,000+ for a year. Who would do that?

Nachteile:

The most careless customer support. Will keep your private information hostage because they don't want to get rid of it.

PB Review

Vorteile:

It was very useful that you could get valuation multiples for capital raises

Nachteile:

The public traded comps weren't as good as our current provider

Ottime funzionalità ma prezzi un po' sopra la media.

Vorteile:

La facilità d'uso, le molteplici funzionalità e l'enorme quantità di dati verificati rendono il prodotto uno dei top di gamma tra i software utilizzati dagli investitori nei mercati privati.

Nachteile:

Visti i costi elevati delle versioni premium, ne consiglierei l'uso soprattutto a team grandi e/o con attività di investimento molto frequente.
