Financial Analyst Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bloomberg terminal: the financial analyst's best “friend”" February 16, 2026 5.0 Overall, I am satisfied because it is a tool that provides comprehensive support to operators and also encourages the creativity of financial analysts. 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.

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. Review Source SS Sterling S. Managing Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Terminal Twilight " June 8, 2022 2.0 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. Review Source MAR Marco Antonio R. Portfolio Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "In an industry where the most valuable is time, Bloomberg saves us tons. " November 17, 2025 5.0 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.

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 BR Brian R. Senior Corporate Development Associate Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Value for Market Agnostic Investors – Cost Prohibitive for Most Others" December 30, 2024 4.0 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 RA RODERICK A. Vice President Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bloomberg- Lots of Info" September 29, 2024 4.0 Was perfect for what I needed on the international side Pros Great to track foreign exchange rates and get up to date news Cons You need a thorough training on how to build models and get market info Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best database to extract data about any company." July 8, 2024 5.0 The overall experience with bloomberg was real swift, smooth and the best platform to extract data as it has the biggest database. 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. Review Source CS Carlos S. Treasury Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great toll, but expensive" January 27, 2023 4.0 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. Pros \-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 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If you can afford it, look no further" October 30, 2022 5.0 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.

Cons Non sempre di facile utilizzo, bisogna abituarsi.Se si scarica troppi dati con la funzione BDH si blocca la funzione e ti chiedono di passare a data license. Review Source BC Bruce C. CEO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bloomberg Terminal is vital tool for fixed income managers" August 5, 2022 5.0 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. Review Source WJL Wei Joe L. VP Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential" November 9, 2023 5.0 Pros Real-time data and ease of access. League tables useful for Advisory work. Cons Tech quite dated, search bar could be improved.

Installation Coordinator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful stock research tool" June 21, 2022 5.0 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.
