If you can afford it, look no further

PROS

The Bloomberg terminal is a potent tool for every financial analyst. Data from all parts of the world on statistics, yields, interest rates, companies, news and many more are all compiled in one single platform. Integration into Excel makes analysis of the data a breeze. The customer service is excellent and helps with all questions.

CONS

The Bloomberg terminal has a hefty price tag. The "retro" look of the start screen may be intimidating at first glance but once you get used to it, you will be fine.

Great toll, but expensive

is a comprehensive financial tool providing real-time data, news, analytics, and trading capabilities. The support is very helpful. However, it is costly and requires a dedicated computer or device to access. Overall, it is a valuable resource for those in the industry.

-Provides real-time financial data and news-Has advanced analytics and trading capabilities-Widely used and respected in the finance and investment industry

CONS

-Expensive subscription cost-Requires a dedicated computer or device to access-Some features may be overwhelming for less experienced users

Terminal Twilight

I use the terminal for commodities and equities. The commodity portion has gotten steadily worse since 2018. Data disappears, much of the cash pricing is in accurate and a mess. I have taken to using a competing product for commodity data. It is fine for equities and IB, which I need. If you need commodity data, any of the competitors offer a much better product at a lower price.

PROS

The charting and graphing tools generally work well.

CONS

Data is often incorrect and should not be taken at face value. Data sets seem to disappear without warning, so relying on it vs the competition can be problematic. The product seems to be getting buggier every day. The news is at least for commodities is awful...slow, stale, and not at all cutting edge.

Bloomberg Terminal is vital tool for fixed income managers

PROS

I like the ability to not only see macro level details on economic and market statistics, but the ability to do a "deep dive" into all of these metrics. Also, the bond analytical tools are vital for me.

CONS

The cost is overwhelming compared to all other software that I use. Only professionals like me can afford something like this.

PROS

- a lot of functions and data - good to cover the simple 80% of use cases

CONS

- unreliable excel interface - bugs in software and data - overpriced in my opinion - support very timeconsuming and not of much help - not good to cover the sophisticated 20% of use cases - the GUI seems still from the 90s

Powerful stock research tool

PROS

I used Bloomberg terminal for school. It's pretty complex with retro look. Powerful tool with financial analysis capabilities, and news etc.

CONS

I don't know Bloomberg extensively enough to have complains. Perhaps looks is a bit outdated.
