FactSet

FactSet is a financial research company that offers risk analytics tools and data for institutional investors. Put simply, it is about turning data into dashboards and reports people actually read.

It makes the most sense for analysts and leadership teams. Alongside the main category they mention Analytics, Finance, Financial Services and InsurTech. As a very large product team themselves (5,000+ people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. At that size expect formal onboarding, documentation and a longer sales cycle.

FactSet is based in Norwalk, Connecticut and around since 1978. Their site is factset.com.

Before you commit, look at data connectors, modeling layer, and viewer pricing. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with FactSet, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
