    Ideagen Audit Analytics is crucial when answering questions in financial research, due to its data coverage, the amount of data available, and the available data period. Additionally, Ideagen Audit Analytics exhibits internal consistency, and has data connectors that allow to pair the data with external data as well. This is very helpful.

    PitchBook
    For our business being able to segregate and prioritise data is essential in keeping overall costs down. Rather than targeted thousands of accounts we need to be able to reduce this number or at least manage which are prioritised first. Whilst it is not the only data vendor we use it is an important one in filling gaps that others do not seem to have reliable information for. It is not the best tool for mapping in revenue or employee size, which is not essential for us as we have other data vendor contracts that have this information.

    I personally love the organization structure of PitchBook. I think others like the UI of Crunchbase but I am not a fan of CB. It is too flashy. PitchBook gives you eveyrhign you need and makes it black and white. No need to flash up the data.

    PitchBook
    The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

    Ideagen Audit Analytics complements the usage of WRDS. I download company's financial data from WRDS and auditors' data from Ideagen Audit Analytics. I think this is a good pair.

    Certain regards, such as comprehensiveness and ability to store and export searches and data related to searches PitchBook performs better than the above and remains our go to tool. However we also use DealRoom to supplement some of that data to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy. Crunchbase appears less sophisticated and hence less relevant for us

    • I'll pull ~25 company descriptions on occassion instead of writing them myself. Each time I grab one of those I'm saving myself 2-3 minutes. Easily save an hour+ on this simple / repetitive task related to a daily / weekly work product.
    • If I want to understand other companies in the industry, PB's search function will save me from skimming the internet for hours. This can result in 4-7 hours of time savings across a more macro or industry-wide project.
    • Quickly finding who invested in an asset can save sometimes 30-45 minutes of searching the internet. While I wish it provided more details on the specific fund that invested (i.e., Fund IV), it provides sufficient direction for me to begin searching internal databases.
