    Well suited: 1. We use Data Central to run queries & fetch data. 2. It's an amazing tools where we create multiple profiles with Query & then create multiple job id's for each profile. & then we run the query for the jobs. 3. Its so customizable as we can fetch the data through query for a particular, day, week, month, year. Least Suited: 1. Its very complicated for new users. 2. Data integration with multiple tables is a challenging during any launches. 3. Implementation is very time consuming since it involves large amount of data. 4. The output from the query is stored for maximum of 1 year & can't be retained for more than a year.

    If a client is shy about investing or wants portfolio comparisons, Morningstar really hits the mark. Being able to show real-time data is great for putting a client's mind at ease. The downside to this product is, that if a client isn’t as financially literate, it takes some explaining to show them what’s going on, and they can get lost in all of the data.

    In terms of diversity, Morningstar is the best on the market. The way they display data, and since many financial institutions use this software, it is easy to show clients how their money is doing outside of our institution. Also allows us to show portentously clients in-depth comparisons of different investment strategies.
