    I think it is well suited for planners that are just starting out and have an appreciation for cash flow analysis for their clients. I think it is more bang for your buck in that regard. The cash flow analysis can be a helpful addition when discussing client finances because it's easy to say that goals will be reached, but it's better to describe, year by year, how a client's cash flow will look.

    Usability
    Fidelity Investments (FMR LLC)
    I have never had any issues using the product, my biggest complaint is that admins cannot change their usernames and the ones that are generated are very hard to remember.

    Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.

    Again, as I mentioned before, RightCapital seems to be much more user-friendly for people starting out because of how intuitive the platform is. In addition, it beats on cost and flexibility, in my opinion. I think the cost per advisor with eMoney can be around $3600, and RightCapital is half that. Now there may be services that I will need as I grow that will compel me to switch, but I am not there yet and am unwilling to lose the features that RightCapital provides.
