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.

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.

Bloomberg Terminal is vital tool for fixed income managers
Reviewed on 05/08/2022
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.

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.

Great Value for Market Agnostic Investors – Cost Prohibitive for Most Others

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)

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.
