There is still no real competitor on the market today. Pros \-endless opportunities -punctuality and responsiveness of data -24/7 help desk responsiveness -Excel integration (API) Cons \-The graphic possibilities are limited compared to some competitors, especially when it comes to creating graphs. -Opening pages is not very intuitive: there is no real “back” button.

MA Marco Antonio R. Portfolio Manager Financial Services ### "In an industry where the most valuable is time, Bloomberg saves us tons. " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 17, 2025 Great experience. The HELP (customer service) department works as a swiss clock. The ease of use and the new developments make our daily tasks easier everyday. Pros In an industry where the most valuable is time, Bloomberg saves us tons. Integrated tools and metrics allow our team to save time and efforts developing Excel calculators. Cons We must say it, price is a big handicap. For a small company as ours, having a tool as Bloomberg Terminal is a MUST, but price is a big burden.

Pros The Bloomberg terminal unsurprisingly is the best software available for up to date information in the financial world. They have a huge amount of data instantly available and also have an incredible helpline. Any question you have you will be connected to a specialist almost instantly allowing you to go about your day while they find a solution. I personally have had numerous odd questions that they have somehow been able to figure out. Cons Two areas where I believe Bloomberg has cons is firstly the price. Depending on how many are purchased the price can be north of £30,000 which is extortionate and unreasonable for small businesses. I also felt that the software was difficult to use at first making progress initially very slow.

In-depth financial data and ability to conduct analysis for research. Also has decent trading data, which is important for traders Cons It is quite expensive compared to FactSet or LsEG Workspace although the function is more disable. Customer support is not as efficient as it used to be Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Senior Corporate Development Associate Oil & Energy ### "Great Value for Market Agnostic Investors – Cost Prohibitive for Most Others" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 December 30, 2024 Love the market data and the excel templates are probably the best out there. However, the license cost makes it cost-prohibitive for most users, and most users won't use all the available data anyways Pros The terminal essentially has all market data. They do not have a sum of the parts pricing model: you get everything if you are a subscriber. Cons Since it is not a sum of the parts pricing structure, the license cost is quite high. Also, the terminal interface is still the same old orange and black screen as it has been for the past several decades. Huge learning curve and hard to find what you need without extensive training (which Bloomberg does provide to their credit) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros The amount of data present in the bloomberg database is immense and one could find any company data whether it be listed or not. We can find data of company structure , company statements and what not. Cons There is nothing as such I dislike about Bloomberg Terminal.

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.
